Craft Over Clout: Reclaiming Quality in an Algorithmic Era

In a world where algorithms reward clicks over craft, podcasters face a crucial choice: chase clout, or build shows that last. This talk challenges creators to flip the script—prioritizing storytelling, structure, and audience respect over short-term trends. Drawing on 30+ years in broadcasting and podcasting, Michael shows why craft isn’t just a luxury—it’s the difference between being background noise and being binge-worthy.

Coaching Your Podcast: Process Over Perfection

Great podcasts don’t happen by accident—they happen by process. Drawing from his experience as both a broadcaster and a Varsity Head Coach, Michael reveals how podcasters can apply the discipline of team sports to their creative process. From scripting your first 30 seconds to cutting the fluff and respecting your listener’s time, this talk offers practical tools to elevate your show without burning out.

The AI DJ Problem: Why Authentic Voices Still Win

AI is creeping into broadcasting and podcasting—but can a machine ever replace a real human voice? Michael shares his behind-the-scenes experience testing AI “on-air talent” as a VP of Programming, and why the results fell flat compared to even the most inexperienced human hosts. This eye-opening session explores the limits of automation, and why authenticity and relatability will always be a podcaster’s greatest asset.
