Bruce, I wanna give you some feedback on how you present your podcast on my feed. I'm not trying to be a clever cunt, but perhaps you don't realise how your podcast looks in my feed, when Im choosing what to listen to next...
Please dont think that I'm off on a rant, but this is something that I have wanted to say each and every time I see your latest Podcast in my feed. So today, I'm indulging myself, and getting my thoughts (& Frustrations) off of my chest!
When I see your podcast listed in amongst the others, it never gives me any real clue as to who you are going to be speaking with, unless I already happen to recognise the name.
You have approx 41/42 words to play with in your visible description. How many are about the guest? Only 3! 'Alex' 'Luchinskiy' & 'Delevit' - Everything else is solely about
YOU!
You should be trying to provide a simple clear explanation, as to what I am about to listen to, and a REASON for me to listen, but instead, it appears like you are you spamming your name and business like its 1999 and we are all using hidden text in the metatags!
There's only so much space to grab my attention, so why is it always the exact same stuff about you, & your business, but absolutely nothing about your guest? I mean, its the guest Im tuning in for isnt or? Or if not, why bother having a guest at all?
Why not use those first few visible lines to describe your guest? Compare your description to one above, about the death of Natalie Wood. Now I have never heard of Natalie Wood, and dont have a clue who she is - But then I read the rest of the visible description.
It tells me roughly who she was 'Hollywood Royalty' Who she was married to, 'Robert Wagner' (Ahh yes! Now I have heard of him) & Christopher Walken (Who I have also heard off comes into it) - Hmm OK, I'll listen to that one then...
But all I see of yours on virtually every single podcast that comes up on my feed is
Yes, I know that I could click for further info, as it will probably be lower down in the description, but why the hell should I have to click? I'm too busy clicking on the one above to find out who this Natalie girl was and how she died... You've lost my attention...
Hopefully you see the above as I intended it - Helpful constructive criticism. I do actually enjoy listening to your show, but I only normally listen when I recognise a name or company. But if you had told me just a little bit about the person and why I should listen, Id probably listen to more of them...
And I'm sure many others would too
