Authenticity: The Bridge that Brings Podcasters and Audiences Closer Together
Manage episode 378929435 series 2401170
Have you ever felt like you needed to put on a persona to be a successful podcaster? Well, I'm here to tell you that being yourself is the key to creating great content. Drawing from my recent experiences at various speaking gigs, I've noticed a recurring theme - be authentic and vulnerable with your audience.Now, being vulnerable doesn't mean you have to pour your heart out or cry on air. It simply means opening up and sharing bits of yourself that make a deeper connection with your listeners. Imagine that feeling of bonding you have when surrounded by like-minded people. That's the kind of connection you can create with your audience by being authentic.So if you've ever questioned how to act on your podcast or wondered if anyone is really listening, this episode is for you. Let's dive in and discover the power of authenticity in podcasting. I'm Dave Jackson, your podcast consultant, and let's start creating content that truly resonates.
Sharing Your True Self
If you've ever fired up the microphone and thought, is anybody really listening? I am there with you. When I do the question of the month on the School of Podcasting, I always think, "what if nobody replies?"
When you try to be someone you're not, it's hard because it doesn't come easy. When you try to be someone you admire, you will never outdo them as they are just being themselves and it comes naturally.
2023 Top Podcast Influencer
Speaking of wondering if anyone was listening...
I was floored that I was named one of the top podcasting influencer in 2023. The thing that is quite humbling is this was not a list of names that people picked from, you had to write in my name. I am moved and deeply appreciate anyone who put down my name.
