Adventures in Podcasting

Pilar talks about the difference between doing a show for fun, doing it for your business, or hosting for someone else. Just because you're doing the show as a hobby doesn't mean the quality isn't good. When Pilar and Craig started interviewing Spanish podcasters for En clave de podcast, they realised that the audio and content quality of the shows was great, even though the main dr...

Today's show is all about, yes, whether you can make money through podcasting. Pilar has made a bit, but not proper money. She mentions Entrepreneurs on Fire , as the first show she heard was turned into a business. Do you remember that?

In this episode, Pilar talks about those interviews she never published, and why. Three good reasons for not publishing an interview: - The guest has nothing interesting to say (usually happens when they're not really up for sharing) - The guest doesn't come across as credible -  They're the wrong guest for the show (but their PR representative misled you...) Pilar mentions episode...

In the third day of NaPodPoMo, I talk about why I started 21st Century Work Life and how it has evolved in format and content. 

In this second episode of the NaPodPoMo challenge, I talk about starting "Spain Uncovered," my first serious podcasting project. I began it while shifting towards leadership and management training, using my experience as a voiceover artist. The podcast, linked to my book "The A to Z of Spanish Culture," was a way to reach an audience interested in Spanish culture. With a simpl...

I'll also share stories and insights from my journey, discuss the changing definition of podca...

A different kind of guest for today - Pilar talks to Graham Brown, founder of the podcasting agency Pikkal & co. Graham started podcasting before "podcasting" started (around 2014), recording conversations with guests, directly from the phone. At the time Graham was living in Lanzarote, and was missing having conversations with other people, in particular meeting other entrepreneurs....

Michele Ong, is the host of Steam Powered and she joins Pilar all the way from Australia.   She started podcasting because she wanted to get a better idea of what women were doing in the STEAM fields. She knew many women doing incredible things in their work and their lives, and wanted to share their stories with others.  STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics/ medicine,...

Pilar is back with her own adventures, recording when broadband is glitchy, and discovering the power of podcasting to give people much needed reflection space.  Due to some maintenance in her broadband, there were a couple of times when there was about a 1.5 seconds delay in the conversation between Pilar and the other person recording. For one of the shows it wasn’t an issue (and you’ll hear tha...
