      Congrats Sidz on completing your 100 podcasts.

    • Niladri Bihari Nayak

      First of all Congratulations to Sidz, my “Digital Siksha Guru” from core of my heart for hitting a Century in podcast !

      Heart to Heart (H2H!) connection is actually built in podcast being a single source of medium.

      Do you know I have subscribed to many podcasts , but no one has point-shooter style like you !

      1. Art of Crisp Communication skill : Clear and concise content in short span of time delivered through podcast

      2. Art of Notepad Thinking : Ability to make everything on our minds and put them in bullet points in notepad. While speaking expand those bullet points.

      3. Art of Answering the Unanswered : Many a times we don’t have direct answer to our customers in our own communities , but later on we can go back to drawing board- do research, prepare answers and deliver in a podcast.

      4. Art of Building Deeper Connection : Podcast helps you make deeper connection with your customers especially when you have paid customer base.

      5. Art of Repurposing Content : Format and Flow of content is important when you deliver a content. It’s always not good idea to create a video content and re-use its audio as podcast . Rather it is wise to create podcast first and repurpose this content in your video.

      6. Art of Solopodcast : Though there are different approaches for doing podcast like interview style (which is more popular due to influencers) , solo podcast- one should find his own sweet spot in this. Solopodcast helps to reach your existing/new customers in a deep meaningful way. So, it is more effective.

      7. Art of Sharing Inspired Ideas : Ideas can come anytime anywhere in our day to day life. We should be receptive to new ideas and capture them. Then take inspired action on those ideas and share creative thoughts with your community.

      8. Art of Fast Content Delivery: As audio producations do have less production time, Podcasts can be delivered with short time span .Full fledged podcast can be done within 60 minutes.

      9. Art of Traffic Building : Embedding podcast in your blogs is advisable rather than sharing direct podcast link to your audeince. Through long form comments, newcomers can get inspired. It will increase SEO organically and drive traffic to blogs and grow traffic.

      10. Art of Content Therapy through Reinforcement Learning : Podcasting can be used as a form of content therapy. Doing podcast involves 3 stages of Learning reinforcement namely Planning Phase , Production Phase and Post production Phase – In all 3 phases learning reinforcemnet happens.

      When you hear your own voice, you live by that as it goes deep into your subconscious level.
