Course Description
In Podcast Storytelling Masterclass, we will cover some of the nuances that make your podcast stronger. The elements for storytelling are specific and dive deep into the actual delivery of the podcast and how to meaningfully connect that material to the audience.
Stories are how we connect to others. Storytelling has always been popular but is truly one of the most authentic ways to connect with, keep and grow the audience. People relate to experiences, good, bad and indifferent. Facts are not how to engage people, stories are. But, there are some important elements to know about telling stories in order to maximize their potential in your podcast. In this section, we’ll cover how to really make an impact with your stories.
In addition, this course covers the element of storytelling and how to why it’s important to create stories that resonate with the audience as well as key techniques to help the guest, if an interview podcast, tell stories that the audience relates to.
Every listener hears the story differently. Each listener has their own experiential and emotional responses with the imagery you present, and so, each listener imagines and responds to your story in their own unique way.
In this course, you will learn:
- Why stories are important
- How to use stories in podcasting
- How to pick the stories
- How to use stories instead of questions in a podcast interview
- How to help an interviewee use stories as response instead of simple answers
- And much more!
Stories are an important tool to connect with the audience. In order for stories to be the most effective, it becomes key to select the right story for the audience and include the parts that the listener will resonate with and connect to the most. Stories are also an incredible tool for interviews and getting the best answers and stories out of a guest on the podcast show.
Tracy and Scott are excited to bring you this course. It will improve your Podcasts and help you connect deeper with your audience as your show grows more popular.

Yes it is because I recently started podcasting and I picked a few tips already

This is forcing me to leave a review much too quickly. My review of just the first 2 sections is, that I haven’t learned anything yet, and the hosts are extremely cheesy, like this is a children’s show. But hopefully it will get much better.

I am student of Scott Paton and Tracy Goodwin in different courses. Now with my podcast NAPOCAST, for now only in Portuguese, I have applied the techniques I learned with these brilliant teachers. Thank you!

This is a useful course with a lot of great information on story telling for your podcast. Thank you.
By Peter Santos Lopes Schmuttermaier on 7/3/2017
Some good information on storytelling for podcasting, but all in all I'd wish the courses to have a bit more structure. It feels more like a podcast as a course. Which perhaps seems to be quite ironic, I know - should a course obout podcasting be more like a course or a podcast... Anyways I'd like it to be more course-like :-)
By Nikki Wallar on 3/22/2017
The content was good. Had a few stops and starts in their conversation. It was interesting that what they taught, how they got their point across, was through their own storytelling. I'll for sure be taking a lot of this through to my own podcast.

Tracy and Scott do a great job of showing how storytelling draws in your audience and connect them. I enjoy their teaching styles and am getting good insights into how stories can work in my podcast.
