What I Liked About This Episode
- Clear, Catchy Hook: Right from the start, Erin Ollila delivers a sharp opening that instantly tells me what the show and episode are about. Within the first 43 seconds, I knew exactly what was on offer—a huge plus in podcasting!
- Relevant and Concise Introduction: The episode kicks off with a summary that pulls me in without getting lost in the weeds. The intro isn’t overloaded with fluff or irrelevant self-promotion, which made me want to keep listening.
- Audience Connection: I love how Erin Ollila addresses the listener directly (“Hey, friends” althought I would prefer singular, "Hey Friend"), making things feel personal and authentic. It sets a welcoming tone that’s easy to connect with.
- Immediate Value: Erin Ollila quickly outlines what NOT to do (abandoning old SEO work for new AI optimization or ignoring changes entirely) and sets up the value she’ll deliver. That makes me curious to hear the actual solution.
- Smooth Flow into Useful Content: There’s no wasted time—the show transitions seamlessly from intuition and context to actionable information I can use.
- Credible, Trustworthy Presence: Erin Ollila backs up her claims with industry experience and sounds genuinely invested in delivering accurate, data-driven advice. I trust what she’s saying.
- Good Audio Quality: I didn’t feel like I was listening to someone in a tunnel or struggling with poor production. Everything was crisp, clear, and professional.
- No Overbearing Ads or Self-Promotion: I appreciated not being smothered with ads or “pimping” products in the first few minutes. The focus stayed on valuable content.
- Engaging Teasers: Erin Ollila uses smart episode teasers (like previewing the next episode’s topic) to build anticipation and keep me coming back for more.
- Honest Feedback: At the end, I found myself wanting to subscribe and add it to my marketing channel—which, to me, is the real test of a show’s impact!

What I Liked About This Episode
The opening had a great flow, and I loved the music. I appreciated the heads-up on AI-generated voices. I knew exactly where I was going as the episode progressed.
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
I'm undecided about the AI reading the scripture. It reminded me of Yul Brenner. These weren't horrible robotic voices (but reading the King James Version doesn't help—even when a human reads that version, you really have to pay attention).
This is going to be one of those things that you either like, or you don't. You might be like me, and be on the fence. I think over time, you get used to the AI accent.

What I Liked About This Episode
I liked the description. I loved the topic (Terry Fox)
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
Your audio quality sounds like you used a noise reduction and went too far. I even took off my headphones and listened through computer speakers.
When your audio quality distracts the listener from what you are saying to how it sounds, that's a problem.
This is an easy fix. If you are using a built into the laptop computer check out the Samson Q2u https://supportthisshow.com/q2u and find a quiet room
The music at the beginning either needs to fade is as you are wrapping up (and then fade out as the story starts, or just lose it and use the WHOOSH which was quite louder than the rest of the show. All of these are easy to solve.

What I Liked About This Episode
I love the concept. The music reminded me of early Joe Jackson (Mad at You)
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
I don't think I needed the play-by-play of where we are going. Can you just roll in sound quality, etc into the story of what you think? I've never seen car talk, so maybe this just isn't for me.
For me, I don't need or trust stats (i.e. Listen notes). Even without Listen notes, I want to know what YOU think about the shy and why YOU think it's good.
I don't think I'm the target audience for this show.
P.S. Your show is not appearing in Apple.
There was also a breath issue that once I noticed, I couldn't unhear it.
