You know, those people. The ones who loudly talk to the voices only they&nbsp;can hear. Whereas such behavior was once a sign of a serious mental illness, now it usually&nbsp;points merely to gross inconsideration. These people jabber through their Bluetooth&nbsp;headsets, acting as if their conversation is more important than the peace of those around&nbsp;them. In the street. In a shop. And worse, on the bus during the daily commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">They\u2019re&nbsp;inescapable, so they force rest of us into our own little world, retreating in an attempt to&nbsp;block them out. Our headphone cords drip off our jaws into a thin, white cascade that&nbsp;disappears somewhere in our pocket while we watch the city roll past. We listen to music.&nbsp;We listen to books. We listen to podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ukpod14-pic-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Speaking at the UK Podcast Event\" class=\"wp-image-1365\"\/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>People love stories and get absolutely lost in them. The best songs often tell a story. It\u2019s&nbsp;amazing how a short three-minute song can inspire listeners to laugh or move them to tears.&nbsp;It\u2019s in the storytelling, something to which listeners can personally relate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Books tell a story,&nbsp;of course, even nonfiction books, keeping the readers (or audiobook listeners) engaged,&nbsp;regardless of what\u2019s happening around them. The musicians and authors of these works&nbsp;capture their audience through storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tell Me, Teach Me<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasters connect in intimate conversations with people all over the world. The best&nbsp;podcasters offer their listeners not only entertainment or education, but they also serve up a&nbsp;slice of their heart. Their passion. Their soul. To make this connection, a podcaster must&nbsp;engage their audience, which might prove difficult since many podcasters are talking to&nbsp;themselves when they record alone in a room with little more than a computer and&nbsp;microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Captivated Audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to captivate your audience is by good, old-fashioned storytelling. Even if you\u2019re&nbsp;presenting history or a lesson, a storytelling style can enthrall your listeners, making you and&nbsp;your podcast memorable. Dynamic storytelling starts with a hook, tells a story, and then&nbsp;ends with an opportunity to reflect on what they\u2019ve just heard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hook. Story. Sink-In.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your voice holds the appropriate tone and inflection to demonstrate your passion for&nbsp;the subject. Passion is contagious. Share it. Indulge in it. When your podcasts incorporate a&nbsp;topic that\u2019s both meaningful to you and benefits your listeners, you\u2019ll find your audience&nbsp;growing quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation and Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Talking to Yourself\" class=\"wp-image-1496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-350x232.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-445x296.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-635x422.jpg 635w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-580x385.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-890x591.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280-1270x843.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/microphone-338481_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Prepare for your podcast with thorough research and at least a general outline to organize&nbsp;your thoughts. Avoid rigidity; rather, allow the creative flow to turn that stale, scripted&nbsp;monologue into a living, changing flow of ideas, hitting the most important points multiple&nbsp;times in unique ways. After all, you\u2019re having a conversation with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you offer a product or service, resist the urge to turn your podcast into a lengthy sales&nbsp;pitch. As long as the content benefits your audience, they\u2019ll listen. Once they hear your&nbsp;passion, they\u2019ll come back for more, which will inevitably lead them to your website where&nbsp;you tastefully have links that sell said product or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By that time, you&#8217;ve earned their&nbsp;trust, so they know they will get their money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, ensure your content captivates your audience by making it relevant to their lives,&nbsp;conversational in tone, and narrative in style. The most engaging podcasts have a personal&nbsp;element, whether through storytelling or teaching. If done well, listeners feel as if they are in a&nbsp;private conversation with an expert, expanding their knowledge or just pleasantly passing the&nbsp;time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They not only get to know the subject, but they also get to know the podcaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need More Help Honing Your Presentation Skills?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we\u2019d love to work with you.
