What we loved about the show:

Laura has a great voice and you can hear her passion. I did like that you were talking to me. You seemed relaxed. You were talking to one person. It was Nonscripted and loose.

Your website is a phenomenal resource.

It's great that you are interviewing the local people and getting that information you can't get anyplace else.

What Can Be Tweaked

The laundry list of people that we’ll hear from at the beginning was hard to follow.

Figure out what you want your audience to take away from the episode and move that to the front.

You had said, “Famous for their moonlight kayak – sunset, near the woods, luminescence in the water, starlight serenade, violin and Irish songs.” Those are the details we were wanted. There is a tremendous opportunity to create a theater of the mind, and when someone did start to explain the lights on the water they were interrupted.

You brought friends on to help explain their experience, and they said:

• Amazing
• Awesome
• Cool Experience
• Fun and Super Cool
• amazing and beautiful
• Awesome, I love it
• Great Day
• Fantastic
• Great fun

but you never dug in deeper as to why it was cool or great, etc.

You seemed to be explaining how qualified the guides were to the point where I started to wonder if you were getting paid. You had already stated that you would be going back, so for me, that is enough to know the guides were good. I'd rather hear more about the experience than the guide.

You have a GREAT website, and we would get people excited about the destination, and then direct them to the website.

Ageless Hockey has a description of ” This is a podcast for hockey players over 50 years old.” The website is agelesshockey.com

Things We Liked in This Episode

There was some wise advice about not coming back from an injury early and how to NOT get your gear stolen

He did a great job talking to a single person. There was no group speak.

Shared some vulnerability which builds intimacy with his audience.

The audio sounded fine

The website is simple and easy to navigate.

Great “Start Here” option on the website

Great tease to get people to your website.

Things He Might Want to Teak

The transitions were very rough. You might want to see if the stories you are covering and be lined up in a way that makes it easier to transition from one to the other. Use your voice to signal you're changing topics. If nothing else, pause for a half a second.

The “something about me” section at the end didn't really tie into anything.

Erik would like to see you “turn up” the grumpy old man character a bit more.

Be sure to turn the focus around and ask your self, “Whats in it for the listener?”

Your call to action needs to be refined down to ONE.

Website

What We Thought Was Great

Intro: “Turn job search into a slam dunk”. Great, short intro that told me everything

You did a good job of connecting the interview into this theme.

Your website the clean look. The homepage is very focused. It shows a lot of credibilities.

The second half of the interview had great questions that would be immediately beneficial to your audience.

What Could Use a Little Effort

Part of the audio had a fair amount of static

There were no links to his books in your show notes

There was some low hanging fruit (The guest said, “That's a good question, and stammered at times) that Dave would've edited out.

Work some more stories into the conversation and drop hints into what services you offer

Your audio is being exported at 320 kbps stereo which is overkill

Avoid talking about things that happened before the recording

Avoid any group speak “Hey everyone.” talk to a single listener

Your courses button takes you away from your main page, and has no way to get back to the main site.

Try to limit your calls to action to one at the end of the show.

Description of Show

The show is about the Delaney Family and living with someone with dementia. My mother has had dementia for two years now and I ‘m hoping that this podcast will help someone who's in the some situation. Also, I talk about my feeling on a lot of things like religion, politics, and there may even be a lot electronics.
So basically the shows is a little bet of everything that we do and get into as a Family. Check out the show at https://babymountainradio.com/

What We Found Michael Was Doing Well

Started off the show with a story and got to the story quickly

The stream of consciousness of the show.

The listeners feel the emotion and frustration.

Transparency of “I don't know all the answers.”

Nice call back at the end

Things that Need Tweaked

The opening line of where podcasting’s hard work made fun is a bit confusing.

Maybe explain more what the show is about and what is in it for the listener.

I don’t see where I leave you a comment. Is it just on the “contact us” page?

The website is somewhat hard to read and the links get lost in the background

You are publishing at a very high bit rate, and that makes the file download slower and take up more room on people's devices.

Today Dave and Erik review the podcast “A Modelerslife.” All modelers have a life but what do we know of it. This podcast is as much about the people in model railroading has it is about the hobby itself. I've met so many interesting people in the hobby over the years I decided it would be fun to share their back stories with everyone else. So come along with me, Lionel Strang my trusty sidekick, Jim Rindt and Bruce the mail boy as we discover just how many fascinating folks there are in this great hobby.

Checkout their website at https://www.amodelerslife.com/

Things We Liked

Good chemistry with the crew

The audio quality was good for having such a large crew

Good follow up questions

A lot of in-depth analysis and tips on being a model railroader

Erik loved the story of how the father got his son into trains at an early age (because that's how most people get into trains)

Things that Could Be Better

As new listeners, there was no introduction to the show (Welcome to the ___ where we ____). This doesn't have to be long, but tell people what the show is about and tell them what is coming up on the show, if you're not sure, this can always be added in post.

Dave is afraid having the name modelerslife all one word will make it harder to find in directories like Apple iTunes

While there is a nice “guys just hanging out working on their stuff” vibe, Dave felt there were time when you could edit some of the “Where should we go now?” discussion out of the show (and just leave you moving on to the next topic)

On your website, you have a link to explain what Patreon is, but on that page, there are no links to actually join and become a patron.

The music at the end could be used underneath the “goodbyes” and then shortened.

Toward the end when you were flipping through the facebook, it seemed like you were running out of ideas. This would be a good strategy for topics, but maybe do it in show prep, and then frame it better.

There are no links to subscribe to the show for Android people.

What The Show is Doing Right

Lots of creativity making the show very unique

Audio quality is not bad (mixing issues)

What The Show Might Consider Doing Moving Forward

Some of the produced parts need to be remixed as we can't hear the words over the background noises.

There is no website for the show, and you're using Feedburner for your feed (see This video )

You could at least buy a domain and point that at whatever you wanted to use.

What is Working

I love the beginning of the show. There was a great tease and the housekeeping was quick

The advertisement was quick and to the point and the music behind it was fine.

I like that you gave a shout out to the latest patron

Good follow questions

Nice about page on your website

The shopping cart was smooth and looks nice.

It sounded more like a conversation than an interrogation.

What Needs Work

The intro music was a little long

The biggest issue is your guests audio, and you don' have much control over that.

You ask the question, and then you frame it. It's better to frame it and then end with the question

The menu area at the top of the website was annoying.

Be sure to keep the newbies in the loop

What We Liked About the Show

You get right to the guest quickly

Very comfortable as an interviewer. Solid journalist.

The audio quality was fine.

You did a great job of asking questions and letting the guest talk

What You Might Consider Tweaking

The first segment of the interview seemed a bit like a giant pitch for your guest

Your podcast is a bit hard to find on the site, and you have text links, but those could be hard to find on a mobile device.

Tell me about your history and how you got here” is like asking the guest to tell you their life story with no real direction. You know what your audience needs to know. Your guest doesn’t. Intro your guest and ask a question.

While you do a great job of spotlighting the guest, I didn't get to hear about you at all.

I would take the ad spots and use them for your products instead of promoting the competition

Your phone system breaks up on a consistent basis.

There is a lot of calls to action to call the show (and yet there is nobody calling). You might look into voicemail, and then set up a call.
