A Podcast's Power To Change People... And The Podcaster [S3E73]

Whether we know it or not, our podcasts and the episodes we produce change our listeners. And if they listen to the episodes of our podcasts long enough, that change can become permanent.  Some podcasters lean into that. Like https://twitter.com/HealthHats (Danny van Leeuwen) on his podcast, https://www.health-hats.com/ (Health Hats). His tagline is “Learn with people on the journey toward best health”, which clearly sets his intention to effect positive change on the health of his listeners. But podcasters too experience permanent change as we produce our episodes. As we engage in the act of podcasting, some of the change we’re putting out into the world flows back on us. https://twitter.com/GetYourSnoozeOn (Neil Hedley) uses his podcast, https://thesnoozebutton.com/ (The Snooze Button), to actively seek out solutions to his ongoing struggles against insomnia. He brings on guests, both expert and experienced, so that he and his audience can learn together.  But for the majority of podcasters, change is just something that happens to them as they progress through the podcasting process. It’s possible that the changes are too subtle for them to notice on an episode-by-episode scale. But if you zoom out, and really examine your thoughts and ideas a year ago or five years ago, you’ll likely realize that you too have been changed by your podcasting efforts. Your journey, as my nomadic friends have told me for years, changes who you are. Please don’t ascribe deeper meanings like “be the change you want to be in your own life” to my words. I’ve no interest in being saddled with the “guru” mantle. I’m a firm believer that people really are pretty much the people they really are deep down inside. I don’t think people change who they are at their core. Instead, changes visible to the outside world are evidence of us revealing our true selves. Some of us really are the scorpion trying our best to present a more frog-like nature to the world. ----- Read the full article and share with a friend: https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/a-podcasts-power-to-change-people-and-the-podcaster (https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/a-podcasts-power-to-change-people-and-the-podcaster) https://twitter.com/evoterra (Follow Evo on Twitter) for more podcasting insights as they come. https://buymeacoffee.com/evoterra (Buy him a virtual coffee) to show your support.
