The Sound Off Podcast

A few more thoughts about Podcasting and its relationship with radio. Recorded in Spain as I tour the country side eating tapas and watching football. As well, I call up Bob Willette at Rock 94.9 in Oshawa and we nerd out of the branding history of Edge 102.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Gary Begin is the owner of Sound Advantage Media. His company works with radio stations across America is get their branding strategy in order. One of the things I like about Gary is how is business is always working the social media space to promote the latest. At one time that was a book called Radio Programming and Branding: The Ultimate Podcasting and Radio Branding Guide. Gary is going to be adding to that book shortly, with 7 more parts added to it involving podcast. We spoke about what makes an ideal client for Gary, what he believes are the fundamentals to great radio, and what it takes to write a book, and then add to it.

Gregr is the morning show host at 107.7 The End in Seattle. Last summer at the Podcast Movement, Gregr shared the stage at Jacob’s Media’s Broadcaster meet Podcaster series. At dinner he had the deer in the headlights look. Turns out he had just became a dad for the first time days earlier. Throughout dinner we shared radio and podcast stories. I couldn’t believe he had 4 podcasts on top of a morning radio show in Seattle. Now there were other people at dinner that night and we could have gone on forever talking podcast, radio and Seattle Sounders. So I told him we would finish the conversation on this podcast. What ensues is this conversation.Just a note that we did an episode about 107-7 the End’s #2MinutePromise and talked Millennials with the station’s program director Leslie Scott back in Episode 23. And again, in this show we will touch on the 2 minute promise and wonder why more stations don’t do it.The podcast is sponsored by <a href="http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff">Promosuite</a>.

Steve Jones is the VP of Branding &amp; Content at Newcap Radio. (Now Stingray) He knows a thing about branding having penned two books including "Brand Like a Rock Star" and "Start You Up". His career has taken him in an east-west direction as much as has north-south to places like Boston and the Cayman Islands; and two of the most competitive markets in the country in Halifax and Edmonton where he worked with great rock brands like Q104 and K97. We spent time discussing some of the great promotions, great imaging, and talent that all combine to make a notable radio brand.Steve also told us about the August 2014 controversy about Quick Hitz on Amp 90.3, and how he sees the whole thing in the rearview mirror.This episode is powered by <a href="https://hubs.ly/H0fg2Hd0">nLogic</a>.   See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Chantal Desjardins is a television and radio personality, stand-up comedian, voiceover actor and event host. Those are actually the words used in her bio and it's all accurate. What's not in the story is how she got there. Credit her marriage and ensuing divorce for the getting her to where she is today, one of Canada's top up and coming comedians. She is often recognized locally as a radio personality, filling in on Virgin Radio Montreal; nationally as a former host of the venerable Hockey Night in Canada, and internationally as a comedian.In this episode, we talk a lot about moving from hometown Winnipeg to Montreal, writing comedy, her divorce, and how comedy entered her life.This episode is brought to you by Promosuite.

Jean-Marie Heimrath became interested in podcast sometime in November 2016. He has always been fascinated by the business side of the entertainment industry he has worked in. Whether it be the record industry when he worked for Island Records, the business of radio syndication when he worked for the Sound Source Radio Network., or being at the forefront of streaming with Iceberg Radio. His knowledge of monetizing content is incredible and will have you re-thinking exactly what business you are in. Earlier this year, alongside Jeff Ulster and Bob Kane, he has formed The Podcast Exchange, A new company that uses market research, advanced metrics, and geo-targeting to give advertisers better access to the Canadian podcast audience. The name Jeff Ulster has appeared before in our podcast series (Episode 72) when he explored the Canadian Podcast Listener - a Landscape Study with Jeff Vidler.

Art Vuolo was radio's best friend long before Scott Shannon knighted him with that legendary slogan. Throughout the decades, Art has been a mainstay at conventions andin the hallways of radio stations with the latest video technology ready to capture incredible radio moments.

Sharon Taylor's radio career has criss-crossed the country from Moose Jaw, Winnipeg, London, Ottawa and Toronto. Her love and passion for radio programming has made her one of my calls I make when I need an opinion. This includes the time we worked at competing stations in the same market. Between our stations, we had the top 4 morning shows in the city and loved to have to odd conversation about the market Last July, I had a chance to connect with her again and I regretted not having my podcast recorder with me in that moment. We spent some time talking about her trip through radio, women in the workplace, the #MeToo movement, and some of the great morning personalities she has worked with.

Drake Donovan's path to becoming the voice of great radio stations across North America went from the on air studio, to the production studio, and then to his home studio where he manages Drake Donovan Creative Services. The thing with Drake is that it is not just the voice; it's also the writing, creative concepts and the swag. Yes, the swag. Drake is making the radio Tee great again. (We have posted some examples on our website)If you are headed to CRS or Conclave, be sure to say hello to him and that you heard him on the podcast.

Chris Scheetz spent his first 18 years in Edmonton radio as a dedicated listener. He spent his hours on his family farm in Thorsby, Alberta listening to CISN country 103.9 while driving tractor. He was hooked. In 1989, he started working overnights at CISN country 103.9. He has never forgotten about what makes the station tick. The listeners, the sense of community and lending a helping hand when it is needed. In this episode, we spoke to Chris about why Edmonton continues to be the leader in radio driven charitable initiatives, his decision to not pursue a position in management, and his relationship with family and his co-workers.This episode is brought to you by Promosuite - http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

There is something refreshing about starting a brand new year with a brand new episode. Radio, and podcast should be excited for 2018; not since the iPhone and iPod has so much technological been exchanged at the holiday season. The good news is that it is a speaker and it plays radio. Perry Michael Simon is the News/Talk and Podcast contributor for AllAccess.com. We spent time looking back at the year in N/T Radio, the state of Sports Radio and Podcast, and then look ahead into 2018 which is certain to be all about what we can do with our smart speakers. Perry is already ahead of the rest of us with his Evening Bulletin Podcast which is masterfully easy to access if you got a smart speaker for Christmas.This podcast episode is brought to you by <a href="http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff">Promosuite</a> - See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

With the arrival Amazon Smart Speaker products in Canada, I thought it would be a good time to speak with Steve Goldstein from Amplifi Media about what it means for radio stations. Indeed there is a race to secure names like Z100 and Mix 96, the same way we raced for URL's back in the 90's. The radio is back in the house, but so are a whole bunch of new audio competitors, including newspaper and podcast brands who are entering the world of audio. Steve has also been a fixture at the Podcast Movement with research showing that most podcast listeners only get through about 75% of a podcast before checking out.

Amber De La Garza is a productivity specialist and the host of the Productivity Straight Talk Podcast. She helps businesses and entrepreneurs get their act together and not waste time. We are big fans of her work and spoke with her briefly in our episode when we were live at the Podcast Movement. We see this when we visit radio stations: People spending too much time on e-mail, and not enough on the on air product and their craft. In this episode, Amber will change your relationship with e-mail, and your relationship with your work.This episode is brought to you by Promosuite. <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.promosuite.com%2Fsoundoff">www.promosuite.com/soundoff</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Over his 30 plus year’s in radio, Blair has worked in promotions and as program director at legendary brands like CHOM-FM, Q107, Mix 96 &amp; Mix 99.9 in Montreal and Toronto. His promotions have ranged for award-winning to haven’t always rubbed everyone the right way. What goes into a making a great station brand? Hiring great people and not “boxing them in”, writing fun and catchy promos, and having a passion for what you do. Blair also shared parts of his personal side including growing up in a household with creative siblings, and how he fell for his wife, Karen Steele who programs a competing station, Virgin Radio.Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:<a href="http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff">Promosuite</a><a href="https://www.mattfogartyvo.com/">Matt Fogarty Voiceovers</a><a href="http://www.coreimagestudio.com/">Justin Dove at Core Image Studios</a><a href="http://www.megatrax.com/">Megatrax</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

In this week's episode, we visit with Dave Bannerman, one of the richest sources of intel on Canadian radio in the twentieth century. He retired earlier this year from his role as radio-TV-journalism instructor at Nova Scotia Community College. We even take a walk down memory lane of an overnight radio show I hosted called "The Whine Line", and talk about the talent that has passed through his classroom. Dave Bannerman was the Program Manager of the station I worked at in 1989. (Yes, back then there was a Program Manager AND a Program Director) He was a great teacher of radio who allowed me to try out things that I thought might work. Some failed, some worked, and some stuff really worked. I was surprised when he made the transition to teaching radio at Nova Scotia Community College in 1995. But as I spoke to Dave, I realized that Dave had been a teacher all along; his curriculum had not changed since our days at Annapolis Valley Radio in Nova Scotia. He had turned out exceptional broadcasters by stressing a focus on the listener, never getting hung up on the digital technicalities, and doing what radio does best: Content Creation. The list of graduates reads like and a Pro-Bowl roster of Canadian radio:Fearless Fred - 102.1 The Edge (Toronto)Gillian Foote - 100.3 The Bear (Edmonton)Ruby Carr - Z95.3 (Vancouver) Jax - Kiss 92.5 (Toronto)R.S. Smooth (Ryan Sommers) CKDU 97.5 (Halifax)Christina Fitzgerald and Morgan Sheppard most recently of Indie 88 (Toronto)(I know there are many many others; these are the ones that I can recall in my head... please me and identify yourself as a graduate if you are in radio today. soundoff@mattcundill.com) Dave announced he is moving on from the school after 22 years of service. Thanks Dave!Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:<a href="http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff">Promosuite</a><a href="http://www.coreimagestudio.com/">Justin Dove at Core Image Studios</a><a href="http://www.megatrax.com/">Megatrax</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Dave Wheeler is the morning host at 92 CITI-FM in Winnipeg. Along with Rena Jae and recent addition Dave Turnbull, they continue to be one of Winnipeg's top morning shows. I had the opportunity to work with Dave from 2006 to 2012 and really loved how he would create without a safety net: Not stopping the creative process to water down or negate an idea. Great ideas are refined and shared with the end game of making the listener laugh. I was invited out to Dave's newly built Safety Net Studios to catch up on life and talk about his accomplishments to date. We didn't hold back discussing the parts of his career that wound up making news. Notably his departure from Power 97, his former co-host Phil Aubrey's recent departure back to Power 97, and the online video incident from April 2016 - which led to the creation of Safety Net Studios. Yes this is a long podcast but there was a lot of catching up to do.This episode is made possible from <a href="https://hubs.ly/H0fg1Ks0">NLogic</a>.Special thanks to Drew Dalby for permission on sharing the clip of how Rena Jae came to Winnipeg.

Jeff Vidler’s company Audience Insights teamed up with Jeff Ulster and conducted a deep dive n podcasting. The study was commissioned by the Globe &amp; Mail. The study’s goal is to help podcasters develop content strategy, increase opportunities for monetization and create a road map for growing a young and diverse new audience. There were questions about the types of podcasts consumed, where they listen to them, demographics, and the most interesting stat – when they started consuming podcasts. I’ll spoil it now – 74% of respondents said it was within the last 3 years, and 41% in the last year. Numbers like that speak volumes to podcasting’s ascension. You can download the podcast study here: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/b9f0d2_8411a2fefd7948399be55f1197f28a85.pdf Jeff will be appearing at the OAB Conference and offering insights on Generation X. This is an ample opportunity to take about the generation sandwiched between Boomers and Millennials. Now that they make up the 35-54 demographic, if they aren’t catered to now – they never will be. Finally, I wondered what a radio station called Gen X Radio would sound like.

Seth Resler has just released a new podcast called the D-Brief. He has experimented with everything from backstage podcasts at conferences, to travel podcasts, and finally realized that he really hated audio post-production, and that having your hard drives full of audio created creative clutter. The D-Brief is a Detroit-centric podcast that has little post production, and co-hosts with strong role definition. If that sounds like the characteristics of a morning show - that was the plan. If you are in radio and considering an idea for a podcast, Seth tells you that yes you can keep it local, and he shares his processes for launching the D-Brief. Yes - there were practice episodes involved. Seth also spoke about his podcast episode with talent coach Steve Reynolds at the World Wide Radio Summit.

The Sound Off Studios are being renovated this week, so I took unloading some house keeping. Namely, I answer questions that I get asked a lot about podcasting. Can I make money podcasting? Should I do a podcast? How long should a podcast be? Also, I play two never before heard stories from two of our most popular episodes. Charles Adler recounts the story of how he almost became Terry Dimonte’s co-host at Whom in the late 80’s. And Broadway Bill Lee reminds radio never to give the listener programming that they don’t expect. Seems simple right? But yet it happened. The show is brought to you by Promosuite.
