Strike Up Your Podcast: Lessons from Duck Pin Bowling
Description
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.
