Tamara Schoon did something I've not seen other people do: she found the episode that didn't get as many downloads as her other episodes.
Her website is at https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/
The description of the show is:
Are you perpetually single? Do you want longer-lasting relationships? Tired of miscommunication and misunderstandings? Wish you were better in bed? Advice from experts as well as real talk from real people so that you can see you are not alone in your thoughts and experiences. I talk about sex in my stand-up comedy and people often tell me that I say what they are thinking but are too afraid to say or admit it to their partners; too taboo they think. We'll talk about books we've read on dating, relationships and sex so that you can gain knowledge without having to read all the books yourself. I'll interview people on both sides of an issue: people who are great at dating and unsuccessful at dating...learn from the person who's great and also learn what not to do! We'll do the same with sex and relationships so that you can learn what works so you don't need to repeat others' past mistakes. I'll interview sex coaches and love coaches. We intend this to be a how-to guide. Hit subscribe and join us!
So I reviewed the episode and checked out her website.
Here are some takeaways:
Tamara had an urgency to get to the content ASAP. This is a good thing, but you want to let people know the following:
There were a few times when she consulted the guest on where to go. I felt this undermined her authority and came across as slightly unorganized.
There were times when her comments were simply an echo of what the guest had said. This isn't bad when you're conversing, but it may not need to stay in the recording.
She did an excellent job of asking for actionable items from the guests so the audience had something they could try.
Tamara is using Godaddy's website tool (which is one of my least favorites as it's not very flexible). Tamara wants an audience to help validate the effort she is putting into the show. Yes, she has a heart of a servant, and she wants to help people. If she could hear how her show is helping, then it would inspire her more with the show. With this in mind:
Tamara was great to work with, and she is doing the show she wants to do, to serve those who are looking to have more fulfilling relationships and sex.
