Seriously, SNL didn’t just survive; it thrived, and we’re here to steal some of that magic for our own shows. From knowing your audience to embracing the weirdness, there’s a treasure trove of insights that can help us all level up our podcasting game. Forget about being boring—SNL took risks, and guess what? It paid off! So, buckle up and get ready to channel your inner SNL spirit, because we’re about to get creative and maybe a little absurd.<h2>Takeaways:</h2><ul><li> SNL stands the test of time, and so should your podcast; don’t be boring! </li><li> Know your audience, but also create content you want to see; it's a balance! </li><li> Embrace weirdness in your podcast; it keeps things fresh and fun for everyone! </li><li> Experimentation is key; SNL’s success came from trying new things, so should you! </li><li> If you get bored, so will your listeners; keep it exciting or risk losing them! </li><li> Word of mouth matters; promote your podcast like SNL promotes its guests! </li></ul> Mentioned in this episode:Do You Need a Podcast CoachBill Gates, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, and many others have had COACHES to help them with an outside view to help them shape their content.
