About the Episode

The Podcast Superfriends dive into the things they want you to stop doing when making podcasts. Here are a few of the things they want you to stop.

Jon Gay: Asking for ratings and reviews at the end of a podcast is less egregious but still not effective.

Matt Cundill shares his frustration with the common practice of including a microphone in podcast artwork, citing it as a cliché and a missed opportunity for creativity.

Catherine O’Brien suggests dropping the teaser at the beginning of a podcast and getting straight to the content. Johnny Podcasts is pro teasers at the front of his podcast, believing they help set the tone and emotionally invest listeners in what’s to come.

David Yas emphasizes the importance of quality audio for podcasts, particularly in terms of microphone and internet connection.

Also, all the hosts share their disdain for the Blue Yeti Microphone.

And that’s just the first 15 minutes.
