Are you interested in podcasting but struggling to come up with an idea? Worried that you’d never be able to fill an hour despite your soul-searching questions and witty banter? How about a podcast that provides value in under 5 minutes!
This podcast is your reminder that there are weird, delightful and effective ways to survive and thrive in this world. In every episode of the show, a different contributor offers their own personal take on what they do to make their life better, healthier, saner and more liveable in bite-sized morsels you can try today!
In this episode Mike and Eric review "The Best Advice Show" where we investigate these valuable tidbits of wisdom and discuss:
Is a 5-minute podcast even possible? Does it work? Like potato chips, can you consume just one? And, is it really possible to obtain topics from complete strangers?
Since they’re roughly only 5-minutes long, we of course could listen to many, but we’ve focused on these from 2022. March 3rd’s Avoiding Stir-Craziness with Abigail Briggs, February 24th’s Practicing Restraint with Shira Heisler and February 8th’s Throw that Crappy Bottle of Vermouth Away with Ryan Patch.

Are you so hung up on not pouring money into your podcast that you resort to simple but odd ways of breaking even? And by taking this "easy way out", are you preventing yourself from investing the time and effort into better monetization options?
Even with a few kinks to work out on the revenue side, Darren Saul continues to do what he does best, showcase his genuine likability. By tapping into his friends, acquaintances and local community contacts he uncovers interesting people and unique entrepreneurial ventures for a quick chat that is always enjoyable, but at times could go deeper for greater insight.
In this episode Mike and Eric review "Playing With Perspective - The Suspended Animation Podcast" where we discuss these observations and more, including:
Should your podcast have two names? How deep should you dig when you're exploring someone's business, particularly if the person you're interviewing is a friend or close acquaintance? How much of a niche should your podcast have? Should you plug yourself, constantly, regularly or rarely? Does the title of your podcast need to communicate the general philosophy of the show?
For this review we will focus on Darren's March 10, 2022 episode: Funeral & Memorial Service Live Streaming! with Paul Sheaffe.

The Tim Ferriss Show with Tim Ferriss

Forbes put the Tim Ferriss Show on its list of "10 Podcasts To Change Your Life". With more than 700 million downloads, it has been selected three time as the "Best of Apple Podcasts" and has been ranked #1 out of its 400,000+ podcasts on numerous occasions. But can you replicate Tim's success? Can you eventually get ads for mushroom coffee too?
Launched in April of 2014, Ferriss interviews "world-class performers" ranging from Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel to Malcolm Gladwell and Reid Hoffman to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Foxx. His focus is on dissecting actionable advice from top books, morning routines, exercise habits and time-management tricks. Or in his own words ... “I specialize in pattern recognition and accelerated learning”.
In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review "The Tim Ferriss Show" where we discuss what makes Tim unique, as well as whether preparation really is the key to success. Are two hour podcasts really necessary? Should you break them up? Is Tim’s interview style particularly distinct? Apparently, Ferriss charges $54,000 per episode and does two sponsorships per episode, what do we think of these ads?
We’ll be specifically focused on episode #566 from January 26, 2022 with University of Chicago economics professor John List — A Master Economist on Strategic Quitting, How to Practice Theory of Mind, Learnings from Uber, Optimizations to Boost Donations, the Primitives of Decision-Making, and How Field Experiments Reveal Hidden Realities.
We’ll also discuss if this is the world’s longest podcast title and whether Tim is the king of podcasting SEO?
