How do you determine if you have the authority, the experience or the “right” to produce a podcast on a given topic? Obviously you can choose to do a podcast on anything, there are no rules or restrictions. But should you be able to authentically connect with your guests for ultimate success? We think you do. In this episode Mike and Eric discuss authenticity, niche topics, how long we think this particular podcast can and should last and showcase how Anderson uses audio elements to engage the listener and deliver unfiltered emotion.
On “All There Is” Anderson Cooper takes listeners on a deeply personal exploration of loss and grief. Episode 1 shares his experience of packing up the apartment of his late mother Gloria Vanderbilt along with memories of his brother’s suicide decades ago. In subsequent episodes he talks with other guests that have lived through similar grief in a series of emotional and moving conversations about the people we lose, the things they leave behind, and how to live on.
On No Harm In Asking, hosts Eric Byron and Michael Kerr are on a journey to gather insights into why podcasts succeed or fail and to explore the myriad of different patterns, structures, topics, techniques, and personalities that have evolved this industry. Through our podcast, we hope to inspire and encourage the next generation of storytellers and visionaries.

Thinking of producing a podcast to showcase your corporate brand? We think every large corporation should explore this opportunity. But getting it right is harder than you might think, requiring effort and clarity of purpose. In this episode Mike and Eric deep dive into Netflix’s podcast for attracting future employees from engineers to creatives and break down why we think Netflix mostly misses the mark with this one.
That said, there’s still lots to like about the WeAreNetflix Podcast that features employees talking about work and life at Netflix, hosted by Netflix Senior Software Engineer Lyle Troxell.

If faith plays a role in your life, there is one podcasting genre that comes with a loyal and dedicated audience in the millions, ready to support you with their time and often money – Religion. This week Michael Kerr and Eric Byron listened to numerous religion-focused podcasts and found a diverse collection of offerings catering to all believers. However, at Compelled we feel we found one that combined the right mix of inspiration, scripture and hope told through current and relevant stories of transformation and redemption.
Compelled is a seasonal podcast that uses gripping and immersive storytelling to celebrate the powerful ways that God is transforming the lives of Christians around the world. Hosted by entrepreneur Paul Hastings and produced with a small team, Compelled is a niche podcast worth cheering for.
Mike and Eric listened to many of Compelled's uplifting stories including “Sentenced to 500 Years in Prison”, “Hope for the Porn Addicted Pastor”, “Loving the Forgotten Through Foster Care & Adoption”, “From a Jail Cell to Ministry” and "Transgender to Transformed". They can be found on Paul's website here:
