Episode 36: What Makes A Successful Podcast

In this episode I’m sitting down with Vince Quinn who is the founder of SBX production. Vince got his start in radio and worked his ass off in sales until he grew to hosting his own nationally syndicated show.
We chat about the challenges and realities of working in radio, including the competitive nature of the industry eventually leading him to transition to running his own podcast production company.
This was one of the main reasons I was excited to chat about Vince. So many people want to start a podcast these days, and I encourage everyone to do it. When I decided to start Mimir I had grand dreams of expanding it into a podcast production company similar to Dear Media. Even now, I get questions all the time about how I started the podcast, what it takes to run it, and where I see it going in the future. So this is a great episode for anyone who’s thought about starting a podcast.
Vince and I dive deep into what it takes to make one that succeeds. He emphasizes the importance of building a brand organically over time, the need for commitment, perseverance, and finding the right audience.
Our conversation explores the overwhelming need for passion in your area, authenticity, and commitment in creating a successful podcast. In order for people to tune in every week you have to fully believe in and be obsessed with your topic, and hosts should have a genuine curiosity when conducting interviews. We’re also leaving you with tangible tips into the various aspects of podcast production, including show development, guest booking, editing, and social media promotion.
Vince’s advice to any aspiring podcaster is to take the time to figure out if podcasting is the right fit for you and be willing to iterate and let it evolve. I wish I had had this episode when I had the idea to transition Mimir from a blog to a podcast, so I hope this will inspire the right person and them the tools they need to get that dream moving.
