Podcasting tips for 2020 and beyond with RadioHub founder Cooper Silk | #479
RadioHub founder and fellow podcaster Cooper Silk recently attended Podcast Movement, the world's biggest podcasting conference … and he’s here to share what best-practice podcasting looks like in 2020 and beyond.
A little bit more about fellow podcaster and RadioHub founder Cooper Silk …
I first met this week’s guest over a couple of beers when I was hosting the Australian Podcast Awards last year. And we’ve hit it off ever since.
Cooper Silk is the founder and owner of RadioHub … a high-end, professional podcasting studio set-up in Sydney. He’s also the host of Roosters Radio, which for all you Rugby League fans, is a weekly podcast he puts together for his favourite team.
What’s even more interesting is he’s just back from Podcast Movement in Orlando Florida … the world’s biggest podcast conference.
I joined Cooper at RadioHub’s Sydney studio where we talked about:
- His top learnings in regards to pre and post production of a podcast
- New tips, tricks & techniques to help you make a world-class podcast
- Why we’re lagging behind in podcast production in Australia
- How the big guys are producing and marketing their shows
- Why we need to up our approach to podcasting
- Plus plenty more podcasting insights.
“The big media companies are all in - as an independent producer you are competing against big teams of people with big budgets and star pulling power. You need to lift your game!” - Cooper Silk, RadioHub
Here’s what caught my attention from my chat with RadioHub’s Cooper Silk:
- Us independent podcasters must avoid becoming complacent now that all the big media companies are playing in this podcasting space.
- There’s plenty more we could be doing post-production to get each episode out there.
- If you’re a business owner thinking of starting a podcast but concerned that it’s too late, that there’s already enough out there, then get over it! Your challenge is simply a creative one in ensuring yours is the best!
“Leverage your audience to grow your show. Engage with your fans, respond to all their messages. Build one-on-one interactions, and constantly seek feedback.” - Cooper Silk, RadioHub
