In Episode 43 of Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee, I explore some wild, crazy, and creative ways to start or transform your podcast and help it stand out. NOW is the perfect time to jump into podcasting, and I’ll show you how to think differently about your content. In this episode: Creating uniquely formatted content is important to reach an aligned group of deeply connected individuals. With fewer creators focusing on audio-first programs, there is a unique opportunity to focus on authentically human storytelling in a growing inauthentic AI-influenced society. As most of the attention is moving to video-format shows and audio podcasts, embrace a video strategy. How to capitalize on the current trend and differentiate your content in the crowded world of video podcasts by providing listeners with a focused, high-quality audio experience. How to find your niche and stand out in a crowded space by thinking creatively about your content. Wild Show Concept #1: "Story Swap Duel" – Two hosts exchange their wildest stories, with listeners voting for the best each week. Wild Show Concept #2: "Reverse Expert" – People teach experts something new daily, flipping the traditional podcast format. Creative Format #3: "Interactive Choose-Your-Adventure" – Let listeners vote to decide the outcome of your story, creating a dynamic, interactive show experience! Podcast Roulette Creative Format #4:  Launch with a format where each episode is a surprise! Spin a wheel or random generator live at the start of each episode to determine the topic, guest, or format (e.g., interview, solo, storytelling). This element of unpredictability keeps listeners hooked and intrigued about what's next. Time-Travel Interviews Creative Format #5:  Create a show where you "interview" historical figures or fictional future versions of current celebrities or thought leaders. Use voice actors, AI voice technology, or creative storytelling to simulate these conversations, exploring their thoughts on modern issues or future innovations. Crowdsourced Decisions Creative Format #6:  Start with a podcast where the audience directly shapes the episode! Let listeners vote in real-time (via social media, live polls, etc.) on what the host will talk about, what guests to invite, or which challenges to tackle in the next episode. It’s interactive, unpredictable, and deeply engaging. Narrative Soundscape Creative Format #7:  Incorporate immersive audio storytelling using real-life soundscapes or sound effects to narrate personal or historical stories. For instance, you could explore a different city or cultural experience in each episode, making it feel like the audience is with you. Reverse Interviews Creative Format #8:  Instead of interviewing the guest, let the guest interview you! Start your show with the premise that the guest gets to ask questions that reveal more about the host or behind-the-scenes details of podcasting, or get them to challenge your expertise. Podcast in a Box Creative Format #9: Launch a “podcast-in-a-box” experience. Your listeners receive a physical package before your first episode airs. Inside, they find clues, puzzles, or themed items related to the first episode's topic, creating anticipation and immersive engagement. Real-Time Problem Solving Creative Format #10:  Launch a show focused on solving a problem or challenge in real time without prior preparation. The content could be anything from cracking a code to troubleshooting a guest’s issue on the spot, making it feel urgent, raw, and exciting. Podcast Challenges: Guest vs. Host Creative Format #11:  Make your podcast a competition where you and your guests engage in live challenges, like trivia, games, or debates. Incorporate audience participation, with listeners suggesting topics or questions in real-time. Behind-the-Scenes Build Creative Format #12:  Make your entire first season a behind-the-scenes journey of building the podcast itsel...

In Episode 40 of the LIVE Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee from (Thursday, Sept 19th at 7 pm EST / 4 pm PST), we dive into the essential topic of being "audience-centric" in your live and recorded content. Understanding your audience's needs, interests, and pain points is crucial for building a loyal following and delivering valuable episodes. Give the show a watch and explore strategies for keeping your listeners engaged, soliciting and incorporating audience feedback, and tailoring your content for maximum impact.

Limiting ad loads will protect the integrity and value of advertisers and audiences. -Setting Standards for Podcast Ads: Creating clear guidelines and standard practices for ad placement in audio and video podcast episodes?
