Becoming THE Local Podcast Advocate [Episode 209]

Today, we're going local with your own influence as you strive to make all of podcasting better. Why not go to the larger online communities? One reason: Going local means you can become the big podcasting fish in the little podcasting pond.

Here are three ways you can do that:

  1. Join local podcasting meetups
  2. Pitch podcasting stories to your local TV news outlets
  3. Attend networking events that have nothing to do with podcasting

All of these suggestions work better -- much better -- when they are done on a regular, periodic basis. You know… just like podcast episodes. 

I go into much more details in the episode itself and have also created a totally re-written in-depth article based on the audio of the episode if you’d care to share it with someone: http://podcastpontifications.libsyn.com/becoming-the-local-podcast-advocate

Podcast Pontifications is published by Evo Terra four times a week and is aimed at the working podcaster. The purpose of this show is to make podcasting better, not just easier.
