This month, I am keeping things a bit short and sweet and sharing a Podcaster’s Forward Movement Quick Tip:

As I always emphasize, there are no rigid “rules” in creativity and podcasting. The most crucial aspect is to discover a style that resonates with you and your audience and then adhere to it.
However, it’s perfectly fine to venture into new territories. Once you find a method that clicks, stick to it to avoid confusion. And if you do decide to make significant changes, remember that clear, concise messaging is always vital. This helps your audience understand your intentions and shows respect for their time and attention, especially when changes are on the horizon!

How should you style your show notes?

Well, they don't have to follow a particular style! At a minimum, common elements to include are links to the resources mentioned in the episode. You decide whether or not to use bullet points or topic timestamps, long paragraphs, guest bios, photos, and more.

The one exception to the “How should I style show notes question?” is this: Always include citations/references for any research or sourced material mentioned in your episodes. This makes it easy for listeners to fact-check (if desired) and continue to read or do their research on the same topic(s) and shows appreciation and respect for the original content creator's work.

Next month, I’ll send out a free downloadable resource for all your podcast guest pitching needs! Stay tuned. :)
