This was the finest of all your postcasts. You sounded upbeat and focused. Additionally, three topics were the right amount of material for just under 20 minutes. I can’t imagine my wife would find me interesting if I talked to her for 20 minutes straight.
I like the podcast intro. I used to work in radio broadcasting so I’m familier with such set ups. In that regard, a short 15 second “outro” would be appropriate. Something like “This has been the Brendon Sinclair’s Business Mix Postcast by Tailored Consulting and Brendon Sinclair. Visit us today at https://www.tailoredpodcast.com.” Using the outro for branding gives you more time to focus on content and give a simple signoff.
Might I add…how can people not find your Uma comment funny?
Employeers must recognize the power of first impression from the point of view of a prospective employee. If an interviewer shows up late or isn’t prepared, that reflects negatively on the company.
Thanks Chris
We’ve just employed an AV specialist who will, I’m sure, take this podcast production quality to a whole new level.
And yep, I find it a bit funny that people thought I was serious with Uma?! (Especially with my gorgeous wife making a comment half way through.)
We’ll keep forging ahead.
Cheers

Something’s wrong with your RSS feed on iTunes. It downloaded a second copy of episode #6 instead of the new one!
You do great work and we’ve learned a lot – please keep it up!
I got #6 instead of #7 as well using iPod. Very disappointed as I look forward to your podcasts very much. Never mind, I’ll download from here and listen tomorrow morning.
PS. I didn’t have to look up this web adddress – Your branding is working!
Hi all,
Excellent feedback Chris, great idea on the Outro. I’m also hoping to put in a 5-10 second ‘break’ between topics, just to segment the show a little and make it easier to follow individual topics. Any thoughts on that?
Bill and Mike, I apologise, this was my fault. The cause of the problem has now been fixed, and I’ll double-check my settings in future to be sure that doesn’t happen again!
Thanks for the input,
Anthony
Anthony. A twenty minute span isn’t alot. Therefore, you could add 5 second blocks but I won’t go the ten. In radio, because people could tune it at any time, a segue (station id) was perfect. In the case of a podcast, people know what they are getting. No reason to advertise “you’re listening to…” So what could you put in?
Tossing this idea out…what if roughly half way into the show, you add a 30 second or 60 second news brief. Such as “this week in the world of marketing, ATT and SBC unveiled a new branding for the merged companies. In Australia, one company did xyz…” Don’t use Brendon’s voice. Mel could do it or you could do it. Then have a music jingle at the front. “Da-da-da” Then start with “This week in marketing news…” The end of the news bit, as an outro, you might add “visit tailored.com.au and find out how tailored can launch your next successful marketing campaign.”
Just my ideas.
