    A New Online Magazine Instead of a Newsletter, Canadian Podcaster - Daily Dave - Podcast Tips

    Thanks for checking out our very first Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine.

    I am the host of multiple podcasts, I believe that we need to build out community for our podcast listeners and with our fellow canadian podcasters. I host regular podcaster meetups on Meetup.com for podcasters just like you, I host the how to podcast series and I created canadian podcaster to be a new voice in canada shining a light on canadian voices.

    With the renewed focus on bolstering our canadian identify and pride as of late, I felt the need to create a free podcast resource for independent canadian podcasters.

    I want to place the focus on you - on your show, on your efforts on your story.

    I would love to hear from you, and to feature you in an upcoming edition, reach out, let’s connect.

    Please share this online magazine with a canadian content creator in your province or territory!

    Be A Less Annoying Dave When Hosting Your Next Podcast Guest - Daily Dave - Podcast Tips


    Talking over a guest with verbal affirmations is not a best practice for podcasters for several reasons:

    1. It disrupts the flow of conversation and can interrupt the guest's train of thought. This can lead to a disjointed interview and potentially cause the guest to lose their momentum or forget important points they wanted to make.

    2. Constant verbal affirmations can create unnecessary audio clutter that is difficult to edit out later. This can result in a lower quality final product and more time-consuming post-production work.

    3. Overuse of verbal affirmations can make the host appear inattentive or insincere. Instead of actively listening, the host may come across as simply waiting for their turn to speak or filling silence out of discomfort.

    4. It can make the guest feel uncomfortable or unheard. When a host frequently interrupts with affirmations, it may give the impression that they are not fully engaged with what the guest is saying.

    5. Verbal affirmations can interfere with the audience's ability to fully absorb the guest's message. Listeners may find it distracting and struggle to follow the conversation.

    Instead of using verbal affirmations, podcasters should practice active listening, use non-verbal cues like nodding, and allow for natural pauses in the conversation

    This approach creates a more engaging and professional podcast experience for both the guest and the audience.
