How do you balance the millions of decisions that need to be made that first year of podcasting?  In this conversation we discuss these decisions with Mete Yurtsever of the Değer Yaratmanın Formülü podcast. Mete is from and in Turkey now but that hasn't always been the case. He has over 25 years of experience in Marketing and 13 of those years he was working and living in 5 different countries: Romania, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine & Moldova. Now he’s an Independent Consultant helping companies create value through design thinking, facilitating workshops and providing training.   In this conversation we chat about: what types of podcasts are popular in Turkey what languages and apps are the most commonly used in Turkey why he started his own podcast & what the goals are for it what he learned after doing a listener survey for his business podcast how to prioritize the many podcasting decisions like sound treatment, transcripts, marketing and social media his advice to new Podcasters in

Are you ready for some sheer podcast joy? Stephen is a massive advocate for hobby podcasters and focuses on the joy of the experience in everything he does in his podosphere.  In this conversation, we chat about: the podcasting scene in Canada his background in audio and video the origin stories of both the Gonna Geek network AND the co-hosted Better Podcasting podcast. For those of you following the https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatsbooks/14 (Geopats Books )podcast, https://www.betterpodcasting.com/ (Better Podcasting )will sound familiar because Stephen’s Co-Host, SP was our most recent guest on that podcast where we talked about the book that started the Expanse TV series, Leviathan Wakes.   The link for that books episode and everything we mention in this podcasting conversation will be in your podcast app notes and at https://www.stephfuccio.com/napodpomo/ (https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting/23)  Subscribe to my weekly creative productivity newsletter: https://archi

Do you listen to hundreds of podcasts? Kavein does and that's what makes this conversation with him so fascinating. He has a thirst for knowledge and stories that is insatiable. Last week we published the first part of this conversation about his language learning and usage as a blind person over on https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatslanguage/38 (Geopats Language) and this week we are focused 100% on podcasts. We dive into his podcast listening habits, listening groups, accessibility issues with podcast apps and websites, Big History and his favorite podcasts. This is our first episode interviewing podcast listeners and I’d love to do more. If you are an avid podcast listener and want to chat about podcasts, do contact me.

About 6 months into podcasting many Podcasters hit a wall.  What am I doing?  Why am I doing this?  And other large, podcastery questions start haunting them.  The inevitable episode of doubt happens and then there is either podfade or a shift in content.  This is exactly the type of episode that I heard Dakota do on his Language Learning Lounge podcast. Because Dakota and I already knew each other, I decided that instead of just listening I would reach out and try to help. Or at least, ask a lot of questions to find out why this keeps happening to lovely Podcasters like him. This is the conversation that we had.  More episode information: https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting (https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting) https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting (Wo)uld love to hear from you! https://twitter.com/stephfuccio (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/stephfuccio (Instagram), http://www.linkedin.com/in/dstephfuccio/ (LinkedIn) & you can even leave a vo

If you've ever wondered what it's like to live, work and podcast in Kathmandu, Nepal, this episode is for you! Big & White, their podcasting nicknames, are two American Linguists who, until very recently were living in Nepal and creating a rather hilarious audio account of their daily lives. Their episodes covered much of what expat podcasts cover (https://www.podchaser.com/lists/expat-podcasts-107ZztJV0y) like food, weather, language, and cultural differences but there is an extra kick to their podcast. Their connection and how they bounce off each other is so much fun to listen to. This is the main reason I became a fan of The Big & White Podcast in the first place and definitely why I asked to interview them for the show. Don't worry, we also talk about podcasting bits like technology, social media, podcast learning curve, editing, audience feedback, Nepali podcasts, guests and advice for new Podcasters also. But this conversation is a bit more free flowing than some of the other Geopats Podcasti

This episode is really special for me. Last month for NaPodPoMo I had the extreme pleasure of chatting with Damon Castillo for this episode. Yes, THE Damon Castillo of the Mess of Me album that we've been using for the past 2 years in all of the Geopats Podcast Network shows. We talk about the longevity of the Damon Castillo Band, his geopatness, my favorite song on the Mess of Me Album (Saint Cecilia), his recording studio in San Luis Obispo, what music he listens to and some creative struggles.  Would love to hear from you! https://twitter.com/stephfuccio (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/stephfuccio (Instagram), http://www.linkedin.com/in/dstephfuccio/ (LinkedIn) & you can even leave a voice message on https://stephfuccio.weebly.com/contact.html (Speakpipe).

Social media can be fun and frustrating for anyone but for Podcasters, this dichotomy takes on a whole new level of the rollercoaster. Shaun of the Germany Experience takes time to reflect on his episode with us last year, when he was just a few episodes into his podcasting adventure.  Would love to hear from you! https://twitter.com/stephfuccio (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/stephfuccio (Instagram), http://www.linkedin.com/in/dstephfuccio/ (LinkedIn) & you can even leave a voice message on https://stephfuccio.weebly.com/contact.html (Speakpipe).

We are firmly seated in the United States for this episode. Well, I (Steph) am currently in Tirana, Albania (check https://www.instagram.com/stephfuccio/?hl=en on IG or https://twitter.com/stephfuccio on Twitter for more about this) but my guest, Aseloka Smith of the https://coloredgirlbeautiful.com/ (Colored Girl Beautiful podcast), is in the U.S. With Geopats Podcasting we hope to shake up your podcast creation process by listening to how others use the medium around the world and Aseloka will definitely get your creative juices flowing with what and how she has done The Colored Girl Beautiful. Also inspiring is our sponsor for this episode, https://www.podcorn.com/ (Podcorn). They are a marketplace connecting Podcasters to Advertisers. There is more information about their services at 14:23 in this episode but for now I just want to say thanks Podcorn, for the sponsorship.   Although Aseloka was touched by the places in Latin America that she lived earlier in her life, it is time her travel

We hope to shake up your podcast creation process by hearing how others use the medium around the world. Today, we are headed to India, to talk to Vishnu Padmanabhan from the Writer and Geek podcast. Vishnu is a Podcaster by night (literally) and an Engineer by day but admits that photography would be his alternate career, if possible. If you’re a fan of the https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatscoffee (Geopats Coffee podcast) then you’re familiar with Vishnu’s Co-Host and brother, Shankar.    Vishnu and I covered everything that you can in podcasting, including: their podcast setup, dividing up tasks with a Co-Host (even if they are your brother!), podcasts in India, editing tech and tips, audience, outsourcing, podcast hosts, Podcasters community in India, advice for new Podcasters and more.  If you like this episode, feel free to buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/geopats (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/geopats) Geopats Podcasting's podcast host is Captivate FM: An insanely C

This episode is a special one for sure. As many of you who have been listening to the podcast, follow me on the socials or participate in #PodRevDay know, I am a huge fan ofhttps://www.podchaser.com/ ( Podchaser), the IMDB of Podcasting. But some folks I talk to outside of the U.S. have expressed concerns about some Podchaser features not working as well in the country that they lived in. So, what else could I do but ask https://www.podchaser.com/creators/bradley-davis-107Zzj5f17 (Bradley Davis), the Co-founder/CEO Podchaser on the show to ask him some globally minded Podchaser questions.   Bradley and I cover accessibility and language issues, combined geographic & language search dream functionality, the push and pull of keeping podcasting open and the messiness that organically ensues and so much more. What we intentionally don’t cover are Podchaser or Bradley’s podcasting origin stories. Why? Because they have already been well covered on other podcasts this year (Podlove

In this conversation we talk with Doris Hammerschmidt of https://medienproduktion-muenchen.de/blog-podcast-radioerfahrung/ (Medienproduktion München) about the two waves of podcasting in Germany, the term "podcast industry", what it's like to write a book about such a fast changing industry, exciting new audio tools and the possible future of podcasting in Germany.   This episode is brought to you by HearShare Productions.

Kevin Mwachiro of Nipe Story Podcast is a powerful storyteller. Listening to his audio stories is akin to listening to a captivating audio dance. In 2017 he launched Nipe Story, a story-telling podcast which produces audio versions of short-story fiction from the African continent. He is also queer rights activist. More info: https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting/11 (https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcasting/11)

Eric started lifting weights 15 years ago and it is now an essential part of his life and the main topic of his and his girlfriend's podcast “Planet Powerlifting”. In their podcast they hope to make powerlifting more accessible to outsiders and shed light on as many aspects of the sport as possible. Along with the basics of their podcasting life in Berlin, Germany we cover unique aspects of the podcasting scene in Germany as a whole as well.  More information here: https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcastingshow/planetpowerifting (https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcastingshow/planetpowerifting)

In support of what's happening in the United States at this moment this is a podcast blackout episode. To find other podcast blackout episodes, follow the #podcastblackout hashtag on Twitter. Thank you to the folks of the Cult 45 Podcast, https://twitter.com/cult45podcast (https://twitter.com/cult45podcast), who started this podcast blackout episode act. The reason many Podcasters are replacing regular podcast episodes with this type of episode is to recognize the lives of black men and women killed by the police since Eric Garner's death in 2014. This is a reading of their names. More here: https://www.stephfuccio.com/special-events/podcast-blackout (https://www.stephfuccio.com/special-events/podcast-blackout) 

Time and time again I hear my global friends complain that it's hard to find podcasts that are NOT from the U.S. As an American Podcaster (an Expat Podcaster, but still) this is always a sticky conversation for me because although I listen to a mix of podcasts from around the world, the U.S. is home country. So, while I can use these podcasts to stay up to date on what is happening there, I understand that not everyone needs or wants as much audio content coming from there. In fact, part of why the Global Podcasting episodes on Geopats started was because of a desire to share info about non-U.S. Podcasters and podcasting experiences with you. There is so much out there in the world, in English, and our ear buds are craving to hear it. It sounds like https://twitter.com/NormanChella (Norman Chella) has a similar goal as mine but with the Asian scene as his more specific focus.  More info: https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodcastingshow/normpodloversasia (https://www.stephfuccio.com/geopatspodc
