SUMMARY

Welcome to Podcast Graveyard, where we gather around tombstones of failed podcasts to unpack their stories.

In this episode, we unearth the tragic demise of a once-promising show known as "Jack's Chats." Follow along as we delve into the depths of this spectral podcasting journey, guided by the lamenting voice of our host, James Bishop, accompanied by the fallen host himself, Jack Gaisford.

As we wander through the haunted corridors of "Jack's Chats," we will confront the ghostly lessons they learned along the way. Unveiling the ghastly truth, we discover that this ill-fated podcast neglected the very essence of its existence: the almighty listener! Instead, it became a mere marketing vessel, forsaking the hauntingly important task of delivering value to those who dared to tune in.

This unearthly podcast is conjured for you by OneFinePlay.

QUOTES

"I feel a bit sad, but part of me feels like I didn't give it my all. So there's a bit of resentment. I wish I could have found the time. It's it's a matter of priority and what is most important."

— Jack Gaisford

"Only when you really give it your all and you really get in the trenches with it, do you realise how hard it really is."

— Jack Gaisford 

How often do people on TikTok, who may be interested in marketing or just scrolling through at night, see a 15 sec clip and then sit down and consume an hour long podcast? I don't know if it works like that."

— Jack Gaisford

ABOUT THE GUEST

Since 2018, Jack Gaisford has been running a video production agency that creates regular content for startups, all the way up to the biggest brands in the world. He's always dreamed of starting a podcast but never found the time to pursue it.

However, when his business experienced a slower period, he saw it as an incredible opportunity to finally make his podcasting dreams a reality. With his microphones ready and all the necessary equipment sorted out, Jack was determined to create a captivating show.

Inspired by the likes of Steven Bartlett's CEO and Joe Rogan's podcast, he aimed to deliver insightful content rather than mere snippets. Jack's journey to becoming a podcast host reflects his dedication to seizing opportunities and following his passions.
