On Deliverability Defined , Alyssa Dulin and Melissa Lambert get into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to make it to the inbox. Each podcast episode takes an important topic, like How to Recover From an Email Fail , and presents information in an enjoyable and relaxed conversation. In Deliverability Defined, we often dive into complex, technical concepts.
We thought the best way to illustrate these concepts would be through a conversational deep dive. Each episode we start by broadly explaining the topic and the background, then we dive into the details, and we end with action items or recommendations that listeners should know based on the information we provided. This helps keep our podcast informational and actionable for listeners. Educational podcasts can be similar to an interview or conversational podcast, but they focus on teaching about a topic, such as growing a business or improving your painting skills.

Not only does the co-hosted show give you the opportunity to have some fun, it can also allow you to offer some super valuable content to your listeners. Whether they tune in to hear your natural chemistry and hilarious banter, or the opposing and diverse views you offer on your topics, a co-hosted concept makes for a great podcast when executed well. The interview format is a great choice if you have a subject that caters to expert input, thrives on varied opinions, or one that many people can contribute to.
Many celebrities or highly-connected names have been drawn to this format, as it provides the opportunity to connect with other well-known figures, but this format is certainly not only for the famous. Those in a varied collection of specialized disciplines, from astronomy to all sorts of medical practitioners have all ventured into podcasting as a way to share their knowledge and expertise, and to connect their listeners with others in their field.
This format does require that the host has excellent interviewing chops as well as research skills, but it also requires that the host has excellent listening skills, which is a necessity if you want to be a great interviewer.
You also need to be able to continually find guests for your show if you wish it to continue long into the future, but when done well, it is a highly sought-after type of podcast. The panel show format can be a winning choice as it can be used for nearly every topic under the sun! If you and your friends are super passionate about a particular topic, chances are you will find an eager audience as passionate as you.
And if you get the mix of characters and points of view right, the dynamics and banter that you can deliver episode after episode will help your show achieve great success. This type of show can be tricky to coordinate, as you are dealing with the schedules of a number of different, busy people, and problems can also occur when you have a lot of different personalities in the mix, but if all the hosts pull their weight and are determined to work together to make the show a success, it very likely will be!
The non-fiction narrative podcast format can be most likened to an audio documentary that unveils or unravels an event or story that happened in real-life, and usually does so over a number of episodes.

Using the fiction format for a podcast provides writers a wonderful opportunity to practice and hone their craft while still being able to build a following around their work.
And in some ways, a podcast can be even better than a book, as it can allow you to really bring your work to life with sound affects, background music, and different voices. This format is perfect for creators in other mediums who are wanting to reach new audiences with their content and cement their niche authority and expertise. Some editing will likely be necessary, also depending on the type of format the content was in originally, but the overall time it takes to produce episodes will be significantly less than if you were creating new content from scratch.
Shows like The Moth , which gathers stories told on all sorts of stages from all over the world and shares them via podcast episodes, as well as The Rachel Maddow Show , which turns the well-known world news television show into an informative podcast, are great examples of this format.
