  • Summary

  • Hook 'em, or lose 'em!

    Storytelling is the secret sauce that can turn your podcast from a snooze fest into a gripping adventure, and trust me, most podcasters are missing the mark big time.

    I mean, if you’ve ever listened to a podcast that made you want to claw your ears off, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

    In this episode, I'm sharing insights around the art of storytelling, breaking down the essential structure that’ll keep your listeners hanging on your every word instead of scrolling through TikTok.

    We’ll explore why your brain craves stories, how to avoid sounding like a monotone robot, and the magic of sound design that can elevate your episodes.

    So, if you want to transform your podcast from 'meh' to 'ohh meeeow', then click play!
