April 1st 1989 was a typical gray dreary day in Seattle. At 7pm a “special report” interrupted the broadcast on Seattle’s local NBC affiliate KING 5. A news announcer solemnly announced that about 7 minutes ago at 6:53pm, Seattle’s most iconic landmark, the Space Needle had collapsed. The announcer reported that injuries where light, noting that a maintenance man had been sent to the Harbor View emergency room. The announcer said that structural damage to buildings around the Space Needle was extensive and the Needle itself was beyond repair. Video showed two photos of the collapsed Space Needle. The…

This is intended to be a complete list of the folks running for Seattle City Council in 2019. As folks enter the races, I’ll try to add them to the list. I’ll also be linking to their interviews with Talk to Seattle as they become available. Candidates are organized in alphabetical order by last name. I’ll be linking to their campaign website or their twitter account. Unfortunately, I could not find links for some candidates. I’d be happy to correct any mistakes or add missing information. …
Yes.
Every single person running for political office should have a podcast for their campaign. There is absolutely no question in my mind about this. Political campaigns are always super slow and honestly lazy at adopting new technology. Just look at how slow and inept they have been with social media. Or how so many politicians ignored blogging in the early 2000’s. They always do the same thing. None of them care. Seriously this has been happening forever. Just look at the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debate. Nixon did not realize the power of TV. Kennedy did and Kennedy won.

Elizabeth from Boise, Idaho asks,
Where can I host my podcast for free?
Elizabeth there are a bunch of places to host your show for free. I’m not going to list them here. That is what google is for. Many of these free hosts come and go pretty quick. If I made a list of them right now, by the time I release this episode, some of them will be out of business.
Why?
Well, how does a free podcast host make money? They don’t and you can only run an unprofitable business for so…

Bob for Walla Walla Washington asks:
How can I get more podcast listeners?
Well first of all, is this the same Bob that asked the very first question on this show? That guy was a made-up listener. He doesn’t exist. How is he asking another question? I guess coming up with another fake name and place was too much work when I was writing this.
Okay Bob…
Last night was the first meeting of the Seattle Podcasters Guild. So many awesome people showed up. I think we had about 20 people. We had a great range of people. Some have been podcasting for years. Some have just started podcasting. And we even had some folks just thinking about starting a podcast. Our event was hosted by the wonderful folks at Optimism Brewing here on Capital Hill. It was just so wonderful to meet all these creative folks. So many kind and encouraging people.
This morning I’ve been collecting my thoughts about the event. So, this post is…
These are the most common mistakes that I see podcast listeners making. This list is intended to help make you a better podcast consumer. If you can avoid these mistakes your experience will be much better. I’ve also got a list of Top 10 Mistakes Podcasters Make and Top 10 Mistakes that Podcast Guests Make. So here is my advice as a podcast junkie.
#1 — Not Writing Reviews
You know how all those podcasts are always begging for reviews? Have you ever written one? You should. Those reviews can really help a podcast. It is something you can do to help your favorite show…
There might be tons of podcasts but there are only a handful of podcast formats. This list is an attempt to catalog the most common podcast formats. Keep in mind that many shows are a combination of formats. Hopefully this list will help you come up with ideas for your next podcast!
Recycled
This format might be the most common podcast format. It includes all content that is not natively a podcast. This content was recorded and then repurposed as a podcast. For example, most radio station podcasts are just recycled broadcasts. This format also includes recorded lectures, sermons, and speeches.
Last night I had the opportunity to be on a podcasting panel at General Assembly in Seattle. I met and talked with a bunch of podcasters and future podcasters. It was great. I thought this morning, I would take a few minutes to write about some of my thoughts about the event.
First, I want to say that there needs to be more events like this. We had a good turn out last night. Even with a big protest outside and a Sounders vs. Timbers playoff game happening at the same time. …
