Ever freeze on-mic or on camera? Or worse…run out of content? 😅 I’ve been there. I’m here with show prep tricks + coaching to keep your audience hooked every time.
​

Fast Track Your Show Prep

Reading articles and looking up topics are a great way to pull content for your shows, reels, and even your social media accounts. You also need to remember that if the article is a verified source, it is also written in someone else’s voice.

As a reminder, please don’t read it verbatim; take the time to break it down and put it into your voice. Make it relate to your audience and why they should care about the story/content that you are sharing.

Let’s take one of my favorite and trusted sources for daily news and tips, The Hustle. You can sign up to receive the daily email for free, and even the Sunday Deep Dives into innovators and special interest stories.

Why should you care about the Sunday stories? Well, let me tell you, if you are doing a daily show, then you want to hit the ground running with your content every week.

May I remind you that the “Manic Mondays” are real? You feel like all the stories that broke after you left the studio on Friday have been done to death on air, and you need to find something fresh that will keep people tuned in.

Having these stories hit your inbox will help you have fresh content.

Need Help Organizing your Show?

Need a little more help organizing these stories and placing them in a show format? No sweat, I’ve done the work for you with my Show Prep Sheets. They are priced at $7 but are worth a hundred times more by the time they are saving you on your show prep.

You are spending a dollar a day on a time-saving tool to create your show, which helps you organize your thoughts into a show. All of this is designed to help you grow your audience and reach.

Show Prepping in the Wild

Show prep and content are all around us; we merely have to open our eyes and ears and soak it in, and decide how we can build on it. Your audience will get bored real fast if you launch into a “you had to be there” story.

You are correct that they “had to be there,” but your job is to take them there. Paint the picture for them, set the scene, grab them by their hand, and lead them to water. You get the idea?

In radio, podcasts, and digital content, we call this “Theatre of the Mind.” Don’t just list off the bullet points of a story, go for the WWWWH… you know the WHO, the WHAT, the WHEN, the WHERE, and the HOW. Get in there and get them hooked when you open the mic. That’s why we call it a “hook,” and as John Popper sings, “the hook brings you back.”

On camera, your eyes will give you away if you aren’t connecting to what you are saying, and if you appear to lose your train of thought or even worse, step outside of yourself and watch what you are doing, it is a recipe for disaster.

The great Michael Caine has been credited with saying, “You can never lie to the camera.” He’s right, the camera will see through you, and the audience will feel when you are, and are not being authentic.

Cordially Invite You…

What Happened to my New Favorite Station?

​

We have all fielded that question so many times over the past week or so. There has been no corporate shenanigans or horseplay, just five people who are working to make their passion project a reality.

We have been working quietly behind the scenes, because we grew faster than we ever imagined. We wanted to bring you the best music and the best entertainment.

The change so happened to coincide with some changes our platform was undergoing and our staff had other commitments so we decided to package that into a well-deserved extended office holiday.

We thought about “Rick Rolling” everyone with JT’s “It’s gonna be MAAAAAAYYYY” and come out swinging on May 1st… but why confuse everyone with a midweek shift and then send listeners into the weekend specialty shows.

We have opted to serve up Radio Silenced with a bowl of chips, guacamole and the frosty beverage of your choice to celebrate Cinco de Mayo… as we return to the airwaves.

We love all the messages, texts and posts saying you are ready to hear us head back to the airwaves.

Set your calendars for May 5th… and get ready for all that we have in store for you!

Also you can be one of the first in line to officially be a radio rebel by supporting us thought the link below.
