Strike Up Your Podcast: Lessons from Duck Pin Bowling

OK, I realize this seems a little odd, but stay with me. Bowling and podcasting share surprising similarities that can inspire you to start your own podcast. Just like in duck pin bowling, where mastering the basics and adapting your technique is crucial, podcasting requires a solid grasp of content creation and delivery. Throughout this episode, Dave Jackson draws parallels between the two, emphasizing the importance of feedback, practice, and finding your unique style. He also introduces an AI prompt that can help you generate fresh interview questions, making it easier to engage your audience. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a curious podcaster, this episode is packed with insights to guide your journey.

Craig Can Slyke from AI Goes to College showed a cool prompt for Chat GPT. You tell it about your podcast (who your target listener is) explain who your guest is, and then ask it to come up with questions that your guest hasn't been asked. Want more? Explain how some of the questions may be used for YouTube Shorts and to put those in bold.

Question of the Month: Favorite Remote Recording Tool

So many podcasters us tools to do remote recording (guests, etc). It seems like people often go through a few before finding one they like. What is your current remote recording tool, and what tools have you used in the past (and why did you leave)? Also be sure to tell us a little bit about your podcast, and your website address so we can link to it in the show notes.
