I'm Danny Brown,

Speaker: 00:00:06

the show that helps you be a better podcaster

Speaker: 00:00:08

in just a minute a week.

And now, this week's episode.

Speaker: 00:00:19

(upbeat music)

Speaker: 00:00:22

Due to the way podcasts are consumed,

Speaker: 00:00:26

which is usually on an app that doesn't allow for comments,

Speaker: 00:00:28

it can be hard to get feedback from your listeners.

Speaker: 00:00:31

However, there are two really simple ways to encourage this.

Speaker: 00:00:34

The first one is SpeakPipe.

Speaker: 00:00:35

SpeakPipe is a voice recording app

Speaker: 00:00:37

that you can add to any website

Speaker: 00:00:38

or you get a landing page that SpeakPipe provides,

Speaker: 00:00:40

and that allows listeners to record a voice message

Speaker: 00:00:42

and send that to you.

Speaker: 00:00:44

Once you receive the message,

Speaker: 00:00:45

you can record your own and send it back

Speaker: 00:00:47

via the email that the listener used.

Speaker: 00:00:49

It's a really cool way to get two-way voice messages

Speaker: 00:00:51

between you and your listeners.

Speaker: 00:00:52

There's a free plan that allows for unlimited messages

Speaker: 00:00:55

and up to 90 seconds of recording time,

Speaker: 00:00:56

and there's also a couple of pro plans as well.

Speaker: 00:00:59

The other one is Podgagement.

Speaker: 00:01:00

Now Podgagement primarily makes it super easy

Speaker: 00:01:02

to encourage reviews for your podcast

Speaker: 00:01:04

and track these reviews and ratings globally

Speaker: 00:01:06

across all apps.

Speaker: 00:01:07

However, there's also a voice and written feedback section.

Speaker: 00:01:10

Much like Speakpipe, this allows listeners

Speaker: 00:01:12

to record a voice message and send it to you,

Speaker: 00:01:14

but it also gives you written feedback.

Speaker: 00:01:15

So if a listener doesn't want to send you a voice message,

Speaker: 00:01:17

they can send you a comment instead

Speaker: 00:01:19

via the feedback page on Podgagement.

Speaker: 00:01:21

There are two plans to Podgagement, Astro and Constellation,

Speaker: 00:01:24

and if you want the voice and written feedback options,

Speaker: 00:01:26

you would have to be on the Constellation plan.

Speaker: 00:01:28

But it's pretty inexpensive,

Speaker: 00:01:29

and again, like I say,

Speaker: 00:01:30

it has got extra features to track ratings and reviews,

Speaker: 00:01:32

as well as leave direct reviews on a landing page.

Speaker: 00:01:35

And I'll leave links to both Speakpipe

Speaker: 00:01:36

and Podgagement in the show notes,

Speaker: 00:01:37

so be sure to check them out on your podcast app.

Speaker: 00:01:40

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker: 00:01:42

Speaker: 00:01:45
