Are you artificially capping your audience for no good reason?
In Ep#11 I’m exploring my personal philosophy with regards to my podcasts, which is that they should be as accessible as possible for everyone who wants to join in. I’ve constantly been surprised by who I attract in, as was Erika from The Balance Theory who also noticed the same phenomena. I connect this to V4V by explaining how an engaged listener will invariably give back, no matter their race, creed or gender.
No boosts this week. So I have to use a sad kitty to guilt trip you :(

Unknown:
Welcome you handsome, handsome devil or devilette to the value for value podcast. My name is Kyrin. And I do these podcasts for those who want to understand the value for value model better, which includes myself. And also for those who want to be gone be gone with the standard advertising model. And so looking at it a way for you to sustain your creation of your podcast or your music of whatever it is through this new world of cryptocurrency through the method of asking for, you know, support from your, from your audience from those who are listening and going down that route. So, I'm just going to introduce right here I am doing a little bit of a different style now for this podcast. So I tried 10 episodes where I was a bit more finicky, I was getting a lot more takes I was trying to eliminate really the arms that ORs and make sure I wasn't deviating and whatnot. And you know, sort of introducing arms and likes and getting lost in my train of thought, but I just didn't enjoy it as much to be honest, I really do prefer the longer ones like you will see in the Mere Mortals podcast or the complete opposite, which is where I go super super finicky.
And, and really try and make it as clean and polished as possible, which is like you will see on the Mere Mortals, book reviews for the most part. So and I was doing a halfway in between those and I didn't particularly enjoy it. So now I'll be doing it all in one take. If I screw things up, if I say things stupidly, unless it's really, really bad. That's just gonna stay in there. So today's episode, Episode 11 is called Don't limit your listenership. And I really wanted to dive into the topic of your audience and how you interact with them, as well as their ability to join you. Now it's not going to link totally to value for value until closer to the end of it. So just bear with me for the moment. But let's just jump in. So I'm going to talk a little bit about my personal philosophy right at the start here. And I recently had a post that I did on the mastodon, which is a server, it's sort of like Twitter, but a little bit more decentralized. There's no one to really kick you off of there or you if you do get kicked off, you can join another server and things like that. And essentially, I was talking a little bit about about my process of how I go through my podcasting, especially for the mean minmetals channel. And I was saying, yeah, basically, I start with YouTube, right, all the notes and stuff there. And then I'm transferring it across.
And we're discussing just in general, how one could make this process easier, especially especially with the chapters like you'll see popping up on your screen right now, if you've got a good podcasting app, which you I hope you do if you're listening here. And I was just going through this. And so one thing came up, and I just want to read out. So I said, correct, I have two principal goals first is to make my show as accessible and in the friendliest format across as many places as possible. Hence, I put timestamps with brackets in the description as well, because many podcasters like Spotify make this clickable. The second goal is to make things as smooth and easy for myself as possible. But this would be in a ratio of 80 to 20, to the top goal or something like that, which is why I'm not super efficient and fill out basically every field asking for data. So my personal philosophy, as you have heard, just there is I want everyone anywhere at any time to be able to get my show. Now, this is within reason, because there's so many things that you could do, which would fit only that one particular podcast or that one particular listener. So I, for example, don't do transcripts on on most of my shows, I might start putting them in here who who knows, but for the main Mere Mortals channel, for example, I don't, because you can just go on to YouTube, where we put up all of our episodes. And if you use the closed captioning now, it works pretty damn good. So do I really need to go to the effort of transcribing that? Well, no, because if you want the transcriptions, you can go on to YouTube. So you could be saying, Oh, but Kyrin, you're not really making it as accessible as possible, then because you know, that one particular person who really likes using, I don't know, Spotify, they want it Well, obviously, you can't do it with Spotify, but maybe with POD friend or maybe with one of these other ones, where you can, et cetera, et cetera. But in the for the most part, I really try and expand it out as as much as possible. So I don't want to limit my listenership by artificially restricting it in certain ways. And so, one of the things was when I first came in to podcasting, I sort of had some expectations of who I would attract. So I was definitely thinking, well, it's probably gonna be me or the men maybe slightly younger than myself. So between 15 and 25, something like that. And it's dead. I got something completely different. I found that my listenership would be All over the place. That was definitely one of the biggest first fans we had was Apple for the teacher, Anna, who is a middle aged lady here in Brisbane. And she just jumped on board and was very, very supportive of the Mere Mortals.
Another time, you know, these are just interactions that really jumped in my mind, we had a random young lady come up to us while we were podcasting outdoors in Brisbane, and was saying how, like, I watched your show all the time, et cetera, et cetera, just completely blew myself and one away, we had no idea like, oh, wow, that we've actually got, you know, listeners who are completely different. We've got Canadians over the other side of the world, Petar, we've got a huge listenership in, in India. That's where the one of the countries that has the most downloads for our for our show.
And so it's just very strange, where you will go, Okay, I'm sort of expecting this, and you will maybe find, oh, I'm getting a whole lot of other people becoming interested and listening. And so I guess, what do you do about that is a question because I hear all the time, hey, if you want to grow your podcast, you should really niche down, you should niche into one particular area should you should make sure, et cetera, et cetera. And you know, focus, work on those keywords, make it for that one particular sub community that's super small, but who will absolutely love it. And whilst I don't think that's bad advice, I also like to be a bit contrarian and give some of the opposite advice to what I hear sometimes. And mine is to go abroad. So one of the things I thought was quite bad about our show, when we first started was men, we were just talking about anything we'd talk about, you know, how we thought turning 25 is actually a pretty big moment in our life. We talked about the trips that we took to Japan and Mexico nowadays, we talk about cryptocurrencies, before that we're talking about fitness and goal setting, and we're just all over the shop.
And our marketing as well would pretty much reflect that we were all over the shop, we're doing all sorts of different things. And so I thought, oh, man, this lack of direction is bad thing. But I'm starting to think you know what, maybe it could be my strength as well. So I don't like the phrase jack of all trades, master of none, I prefer to look at it as more a skill stacking like the like Scott Adams would say. And so with that, I'm sort of thinking, you know, what, I'm not limiting my listenership by really focusing on just one thing. I want to speak about all the different things that I enjoy going into investigating that I find interesting. And so I'm not going to artificially restrict that by saying, You know what, I'm only going to speak about fitness and handstands from now on. Now, I want to talk about that. And I want to talk about other things. Now, it's not just me as well, who has experienced this. And so I was chatting not too long ago with a lovely young lady called Erica, dead Pelegrin. And she appeared on conversation, let me bring this up right now, it was on conversation number 55, on the Mere Mortals channel. And as we were chatting with her, I was just asking her about audience interactions and whatnot. And I was asking her about a favorite one. And this is how she responded.
To be honest with you, when I started my podcast, I was thinking, okay, who's my ideal listener, because in my mind, I was like, whenever I get lost, or I'm trying to think of examples, this is who I want to be speaking to, just so I can keep it consistent. So I was thinking like, someone around my age, late 20s, full time worker loves to, you know, like, let their hair down on the weekend, but super health conscious, it's just sort of putting a little image on it. So when this particular individual reached out to me, I was like, wow, like my podcast is reaching people I didn't even think would fall in that category of listeners. So that was like a wow moment. But the reason I really love our kind of relationship is every now and again, he he's quite active on his page and shares a lot of content, but he will actually put up a really nice post and do like a nice write up of the episode and what he really liked about it, and then he goes and engages with that guest as well. So he's really like, does quite intentional posts, and always kind of gives me, you know, his take on what he's listened to. But I think the biggest well known was like, oh my god, this is like, a guy in his 30s. He's a dad, like so far removed from who I thought I was speaking to. So that was really cool.
Okay, so there we go. Now, I'm going to connect this with value for value and some takeaways here. So as you just heard from Erica, you can get some really different people coming in. So it's not just me. I didn't I wasn't the only one experiencing thinking, Oh, I'm going to attract this sort of person. You can attract a lot of people. And I think you can get surprised and engaged. You can get surprised by who will join you and it doesn't really matter who they are as long as they're engaged because engaged people will give back value You heard with her how her her fan, her unexpected mail fanatic, I guess you could call them was sharing her posts everywhere was giving feedback was doing all of these things, you know, very, very valuable things that's hugely valuable when you're starting off as podcasting, God damn, it is an absolute grind to get even your mom or dad to respond to something, let alone a complete random stranger. So that is absolutely fantastic to hear.
And it's, I think, important to recognize that, hey, you know what, I can get surprised by these people. And if I get random people joining, even though I might not be expecting them, I should definitely pay some attention because they can totally, totally give back value. Now, I also think this should just be a general default Outlook. So just try and make your show as accessible as possible. Okay, aka, don't limit your listenership. So I'm sort of thinking, you know, really, literally try and make it x accessible as possible with your content. So the sorts of things that you're making, and where you put it on there. And so this could be like the platforms that you put it on, or how you present your show, you know, how much detail you give in the notes and things like this. Now, granted, there's plenty of cabinet caveats here. And you do have to recognize how much time you have, you know, you have to recognize all sorts of things such as, you know, not a big big caveat, I guess would be, don't pretend to be inclusive, or don't pretend to be more than you actually are. If that's not what you are. So don't don't try and put yourself out there as really caring about knitting and crochet or women's rights, if you don't give a shit about it. Like that's, that's just to be more open just to try and get more people, I think that's a, that's going down the wrong path. But also, I would say, going down the wrong path is being super, super nice. You You know, it's, it's the small things that can sometimes make someone real interested in you. I talked about this recently, in a in the book, I read human kind of hopeful history, one of the things I really liked in it was the the author would include, like these little remarks just on his personal take on something. And that was what really drew me into the book.
Because this fits just pure statistics and data and things like that, I'm not as interested. Now, with all of that being said, I guess it's, it's, I just feel it's important to, to try and maintain that balance between the two. So you know, niche down if you want, hey, that's fantastic, do that. But also, if you get bored with that, if you want to experiment more more, if you want to grow your audience, if you want to do all of these things, and if you want to get value from people don't limit your listenership just because of some arbitrary thing that you think so whether that be limiting it via picking on a particular topic, or limiting it via your, you know, your desire to only have these types of people or things like that, I would just say, hey, just just be just be aware, because you can get value from surprising unexpected places, just like Erica mentioned. And I certainly have plenty examples from my own experience where people will give me amazing feedback where I just or value, then you know, feedback or they will send a note, like a donation or support a boosta gram message, a, you know, a sticker from across the world.
There's plenty of those sort of on my on my whiteboard over here in the room, which just reminds me of the awesome connections I've made with some people. So those are just some random thoughts there. Now, we're just mentioned boostagrams. Unfortunately, we didn't have any boostagrams for this week. Now I do want to add a note here, which is that I'm using Satoshi stream to get my boosta grams in so I don't have full control of the node, I don't have full control of the technical knowledge of all the things coming in and whatnot, which means I'm still relying on another another system ie Satoshis stream to send me the boostagrams. And there can also be as this technology is really really new. There can definitely be some mistakes, mishaps things getting lost, etc, etc. So if you ever hear me not reading out a boostagram because one didn't come in, you 100% I want you to contact me and being like, Hey, what's going on here and I will get to the heart of it as quick as I can because I know the frustrations of sending a boostagram to a message or doing something and just having no reaction. It just goes into the void. It's it's rather disheartening. And so an essential part of the value for value model is having the feedback closing the feedback Look, you give me value, I acknowledge the value return it to you, etc, etc. So that being said, Now even though there was no boostagrams, it could be because of faulty stuff. Or it could be just because people didn't send one. Now, last time this happened, I put up a sad puppy this time i and that actually worked quite well because I got a sad puppy boost from who was uh, it was maybe Dreb Scott or maybe it was I'm completely blanking, I forgot who it was apologies to, to the person who said that the other day. And this This time, I'm going to use a sad kitten instead. Because I think the sad kitten might might prompt that again, might get those boosta grams flowing back in. So we'll go with that. And hopefully that will, we'll get the boosta grams falling again. But if not, that's, that's okay. As well, you can just listen in, send me you know, stream Satoshis if you want or you can just listen, that's totally cool as well. But I love it when you get back to me as well. And so just to finish off, I just wanted to ask a question of you. What did you think of the new format? Do you have the super super strict, no arms no ORS do as many cuts as you need car and just make sure you're you're not wasting my precious seconds with your deviating you're murdering your etc, etc. Do you prefer the middle method where if you hear me stuff up a little bit, I'll go. Okay, I'll just redo that particular bit, or do you prefer this one, the long meandering, not super straight to the point but it gives you a bit more of a stream of consciousness I think is a good expression for that.
So with all of that being said, I really do hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. And that is it Kyrin out

So those are just some random thoughts there. Now, we're just mentioned boostagrams. Unfortunately, we didn't have any boostagrams for this week. Now I do want to add a note here, which is that I'm using Satoshi stream to get my boosta grams in so I don't have full control of the node, I don't have full control of the technical knowledge of all the things coming in and whatnot, which means I'm still relying on another another system ie Satoshis stream to send me the boostagrams. And there can also be as this technology is really really new. There can definitely be some mistakes, mishaps things getting lost, etc, etc. So if you ever hear me not reading out a boostagram because one didn't come in, you 100% I want you to contact me and being like, Hey, what's going on here and I will get to the heart of it as quick as I can because I know the frustrations of sending a boostagram to a message or doing something and just having no reaction. It just goes into the void. It's it's rather disheartening. And so an essential part of the value for value model is having the feedback closing the feedback Look, you give me value, I acknowledge the value return it to you, etc, etc. So that being said, Now even though there was no boostagrams, it could be because of faulty stuff. Or it could be just because people didn't send one. Now, last time this happened, I put up a sad puppy this time i and that actually worked quite well because I got a sad puppy boost from who was uh, it was maybe Dreb Scott or maybe it was I'm completely blanking, I forgot who it was apologies to, to the person who said that the other day. And this This time, I'm going to use a sad kitten instead. Because I think the sad kitten might might prompt that again, might get those boosta grams flowing back in. So we'll go with that. And hopefully that will, we'll get the boosta grams falling again. But if not, that's, that's okay. As well, you can just listen in, send me you know, stream Satoshis if you want or you can just listen, that's totally cool as well. But I love it when you get back to me as well. And so just to finish off, I just wanted to ask a question of you. What did you think of the new format? Do you have the super super strict, no arms no ORS do as many cuts as you need car and just make sure you're you're not wasting my precious seconds with your deviating you're murdering your etc, etc. Do you prefer the middle method where if you hear me stuff up a little bit, I'll go. Okay, I'll just redo that particular bit, or do you prefer this one, the long meandering, not super straight to the point but it gives you a bit more of a stream of consciousness I think is a good expression for that.
So with all of that being said, I really do hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. And that is it Kyrin out
