How to Kill Your Boring Podcast: The National Lampoon Radio Hour Never Happened
YOUR PODCAST SOUNDS LIKE MISSIONARY POSITION FEELS
(AND THAT'S A CRIME AGAINST CREATIVITY)
Listen up, you polished content criminals and pristine audio addicts. Your podcast sounds like it was recorded in a therapist's waiting room, and your audience is falling asleep between ads for mail-order mattresses.
But stay tuned, because we're about to commit grand theft audio.
This isn't another "how-to" episode for good little broadcasters. This is a jailbreak for your creative libido. We're teaching you to fuck with format like a Venus in Retrograde having a punk rock awakening.
Get ready for:
- How to make Brian Eno mate with a police scanner and birth pure audio gold
- Why your expensive microphone is cock-blocking your authenticity
- The Venice Beach guide to turning chaos into content that makes NPR clutch its pearls
- Recording at the DMV: A masterclass in turning mundane hell into magnetic content
WARNING: This episode contains:
- Dangerous levels of creative permission
- Instructions for audio crimes against mediocrity
- A ritual for forgetting everything you learned in broadcasting school
- The savage truth about why your podcast partnerships fail (hint: it's not them, it's you)
Your audience isn't bored – they're being held hostage by your good intentions and cowardly adherence to professionalized standards of decorum. We're here to stage a rescue mission.
Think heist movie meets performance art meets spiritual awakening. Because your podcast shouldn't just fill silence – it should violate it with purpose.
Stop trying to sound like everyone else. Start sounding like yourself on your most insolent day. Raw creativity doesn't need a pop filter or a content calendar. It needs you to stop being so fucking polite about your passion.
Available now wherever you get your permission to create chaos.
Remember: The best podcasts don't follow trends – they leave trends gasping for air in a Venice Beach alley.
Trust me. I've committed every audio crime in the book, and that's exactly why you should listen.
Welcome to the revolution between your ears.
P.S. If this episode doesn't make your producer cry, you're not playing it loud enough.
And all the lessons in love, leadership, lechery, and letting go you've come to expect from The Only Good Podcast™!
