<p>Do you remember when Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding was accused of having her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, injure Nancy Kerrigan’s knee before the 1994 Olympics? If you lived through the 90s, this story dominated the news, and many of us formed strong opinions based on a narrative the media pushed at the time. That familiar story becomes the starting point for a deeper look at podcasting craft. Co-host <strong>Jonathan Howard</strong>, leads the team through a case study of <strong>You’re Wrong About</strong>, using their &#39;<em>Tanya Harding, Part 1&#39;</em> episode to examine where the show excels. We explore how the hosts balance deep research with a conversational delivery that keeps listeners engaged. We also look at how intentional co-host roles guide audiences through complex material without losing clarity. Strong podcasting is not about presenting more facts. It is about framing stories with care and purpose, so listeners feel invited to rethink what they know and stay engaged.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights:</strong></p><p>[03:40] Preview of the upcoming podcast evaluation series</p><p>[06:18] Introduction to the You’re Wrong About podcast</p><p>[07:33] First impressions, tone, and host banter</p><p>[16:21] A deeper dive into the Tanya Harding story</p><p>[27:29] Accessibility and discoverability issues within the episode</p><p>[32:53] Empathy-driven storytelling and humanizing Tanya Harding</p><p>[41:08] Media narratives and shifting public perception</p><p>[49:26] Citing sources in show notes </p><p><strong>Links &amp; Resources: </strong></p><p>Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠</a></p><p>Empowered Podcasting Conference: </p><p><a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/e/empowered-podcasting-conference-tickets-1976757134803" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.eventbrite.com/e/empowered-podcasting-conference-tickets-1976757134803</a></p><p>Upcoming Podcast For Evaluation: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/44Mq04supW81rcuQeAVCB8?si=I-vp9camTrK0bvw1ZX6g6g" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/44Mq04supW81rcuQeAVCB8?si=I-vp9camTrK0bvw1ZX6g6g</a></p><p>You’re Wrong About Tanya Harding Part 1: </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2CWRSZfApA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2CWRSZfApA</a></p><p>The Story Lab with Jonathan Howard: </p><p><a href="https://thestorylabpodcast.buzzsprout.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://thestorylabpodcast.buzzsprout.com/</a></p><p>To Have Your Podcast Considered For Evaluation, Please Complete This Form: </p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U</a></p><p>Our upcoming podcast evaluation, Shared Delights (Wedding Crasher): <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pfvQbyTC2J4j7f07RlgTb?si=DAciGVe4TRqSeyq5Glnb3w" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pfvQbyTC2J4j7f07RlgTb?si=DAciGVe4TRqSeyq5Glnb3w</a></p><p>Shared Delights Podcast: </p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7kGzKPjX13q2r2j9G7MdDR?si=9fb17aeb1020497a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://open.spotify.com/show/7kGzKPjX13q2r2j9G7MdDR?si=9fb17aeb1020497a</a></p><p>Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
