podcast, which looks at how technology is changing everything.
This value can exist in many formsfrom laughter, entertainment, information, or just a really gripping story.
B. Mosiah Fulton, who works behind the scenes with the What You Thought?
podcast, agreed: People want to laugh, and all good jokes contain truth.
What you really have to do is talk about things youdoknow anddocare about.
Someone else out there cares about those same things, too.

Still, Fulton believes its an unwise decision to measure your pods success by views and plays.
How many of these views translate to actual fans?
It is important to build a core fan base.
This is where a lot of budding podcasts fail.
Learn your core audience.
Dont target a particular audience, but get to know who you are really making the show for.
They definitely dont want aimless conversation just for the sake of keeping the podcast feed going.
But think about your other domestic tasks.
Did you swear to yourself that you were going to put away that basket of folded clothes?
Did it end up on the laundry chair in your room?
Its easy to put off things you better do, from changing a lightbulb to recording your podcast.
If you have listenersand youwantlistenersyou need to give them content consistently.
The cast and crew shoot weekly, Fulton said.
This is extremely important!
Stay consistent, make a shooting schedule, and stick to it.
Get your crew togetheror, if you are a one-person production, get your equipment in order and shoot!

What You Thought?
Not everyone loves listening to audio.
This writer, for instance, hates it, but will consume podcast episodes on YouTube happily.
Consider cross-platform promotion to secure the greatest number of fans.
Dont just promote across yourownsocials, either.
Find other people producing similar shows and ask them to collaborate.
He added that, No podcast is an island.
