How Podcasts Are Changing Comedy from Side Splitters Comedy Club

During the past few years, there have been a lot of changes; however, one of the biggest changes in the world of entertainment has been the growth of podcasts. Podcasts have become incredibly popular for numerous genres, including comedy. When people think about comedy, they may think about going to a stand-up show or watching something on TV. Even though there is still a place for this type of comedy, podcasts have become a go-to destination for comedy. How have podcasts changed comedy? There are a few key examples.

Comedy Podcasts Have Made the Script More Important Than Ever

One of the biggest shifts encouraged by podcasts has been the importance of the script. Of course, the script has always been important when it comes to comedy; however, it has become even more important in the world of podcasting. Because the listener cannot see what is happening on stage, they can only rely on what they hear. Therefore, words are more important than ever. If the script is not solid, the listener is simply going to hit the back button and never come back. Unlike a stand-up stage, the script is responsible for everything. This includes context, background, and delivery. Therefore, podcasts have raised consumer expectations when it comes to the script.

Listeners Have Become More Interactive

In the past, listeners were able to sit back and let the comedy show come to that. Because there was only one element to the podcast, the audio, comedy shows have become more interactive. Comedy hosts running a podcast have a unique opportunity to grab the attention of the audience. Everyone wants to be more involved. As a result, podcast creators have become more creative. They find ways to make the show as interactive as possible by this means changing intonation, setting the stage, or drawing on trying to vent.

Podcast Hosts Change Formats More Often

Another shift when it comes to comedy involves changing formats. In the past, a stand-up host may deliver the same show over and over again in multiple cities. Even though this still happens from time to time, it does not take place when it comes to podcasts. Once the podcast has been recorded, it is out there forever. Therefore, the hosts do not have to go through the same podcast again. As a result, podcast hosts are changing formats more often. Even though the audience does have consistent expectations, a lot of hosts are changing their formats gradually to deliver the audience something different each time.

Comedy Hosts Are Collecting More Feedback from the Audience

Finally, podcasts also provide the hosts with an opportunity to collect more feedback from the audience. In the past, the host may not have interacted directly with the audience as often. Now, a lot of time cast hosts are collecting feedback from their audiences on social media, through email, and even text messages. This provides the host with a unique opportunity to change his or her format from time to time to meet the expectations of the audience. This type of interaction is unprecedented, and it is probably here to stay. Hosts no longer have to wonder what the audience is thinking. They simply have to reach out and ask them.

Looking to the Future of Comedy

Because of these changes, the world of comedy is more diverse than it has ever been in the past. This is a good thing, as it provides hosts with an opportunity to reach out to more people than ever. Furthermore, this also increases the range of comedy shows that people are putting on. There are even individual niches developing in the field of podcast comedy, pushing people’s creative skills to new heights. It will be exciting to see what happens next in the world of comedy.

The POZcast with Adam Posner Shines a Light on Tucker Max: From Fratire King to Self-Publishing Empire

The POZcast with Adam Posner has quickly become one of the most popular podcasts in the industry. Featuring top guests and serious topics, there is a new episode of The POZcast with Adam Posner that was recently released, featuring Tucker Max. Tucker Max took a unique journey to get where he is today. The POZcast with Adam Posner goes in-depth with Tucker Max to discuss how he ended up as a New York Times Best Selling Author (four times over) with a balanced life.

Tucker Max is the Founder of Scribe Media

Most people know Tucker Max as the founder of Scribe Media. Even though Tucker Max is a lawyer by training, he quickly realized that this was not for him. He hated just about everything about being a lawyer and describes the field as having to “sell your soul” just to be successful in any way. While many people are concerned about not using an advanced degree once they have it, Tucker realized that he needed to get out of the industry before it was too late. He spent two years in Hollywood, which he describes as the worst two years of his life. He realized that many people who live in Hollywood and work in his industry, are sociopathic, soulless, and narcissistic. Because Tucker Max did not want to end up like them, he decided to get out. That caused an abrupt career change, leading him to Scribe Media.

His career took off when he started a blog on his website, tuckermax.com, where he created a new genre now known as “fratire.” This word was used by a writer for the New York Times, Warren St. John, to describe the exact nature of Tucker’s writing.

On his website, Tucker mostly shares unique stories from the life he led during his twenties. His writing has become popular because many people like how Tucker makes fun of his younger self, and the partying he did. Tucker has also been blessed (or cursed) with a personality that always leads him to tell the truth, no matter what. This type of “fratire” is discussed in-depth during the podcast.

Tucker Max Takes a Unique Approach at Scribe Media

Tucker Max originally got into the legal field to help other people. Even though he did not get to do exactly what he wanted to as a lawyer, he does get to spend his life helping people at Scribe Media. Many of his clients are surprised because he makes them read their book out loud before he agrees to publish them. This comes from Tucker’s own personal experience. Some people do not realize exactly what they should change about their writing until they are forced to read it out loud. Even though many of Tucker’s clients have edited their work on paper many times, it always sounds different once it is read out loud. Tucker believes he can better help his clients this way. Tucker Max has written 4 New York Times best-selling books, including ‘I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell’.

Buddha’s Core Principle and the Drive To Change

Even though it has taken him more than four decades, Tucker Max lives his life, and runs Scribe Media, by following Buddha’s Core Principle. First, you must do your work. Then, you can help others do theirs. This principle guides all of Tucker’s decision-making and has made him a better person.

It has also helped him change, becoming the person he is today. If you want to see real change, then you must change yourself. Tucker went through a lot of this when he decided to leave his legal training and experience behind; however, he has found another fulfilling career that has made him a New York Times bestselling author 4 times. Tucker Max, and his unique journey through life, are discussed in-depth on The POZcast with Adam Posner.

About The POZcast with Adam Posner

Female Veteran and Entrepreneur Releases eBook for Service Members Transitioning to Business Owners

blank

(Fayetteville, N.C.) The journey from military service member to small business owner isn’t an easy one. No one knows that better than ShaDonna “Mo” McPhaul. McPhaul spent 20 years in loyal service to the United States Air Force before she made the transition to small business owner. In her new eBook, It’s Not What You Know, It’s the Mo’ You Know, McPhaul opens up about the lessons she learned while transforming her career and launching two successful businesses.

During her time as an active-duty service member, McPhaul gained expertise in Public Affairs, Administrative Support, Knowledge Operations Management, Command & Control, Human Resources & Logistics Management and Religion & Resiliency Support. After leaving the military, she wanted to put her expertise to work and soon started two companies, Mo’s Heroes and The Mo You Know. Now she wants to make her advice and life lessons available to even more people through her new eBook, which will help small businesses gain additional target audience exposure and introduce new audiences to their businesses.

“Unless you’ve made the transition from military to civilian life, you don’t really understand the struggles that it entails,” explained McPhaul. “I’ve learned a lot through transforming my career and building two businesses from the ground up. I knew it would be helpful to share my own experiences with other veterans going through the same thing, or really anyone going through a big transition in life. I wanted to point out some blind spots that they may or may not be aware of. It seems like a missed opportunity to not share that advice with others.”

Benefits of Reading with Children During COVID 19

blank

Why you should read with your child during Covid-19

Have you considered reading with your children at home? Perhaps Covid-19 has presented a unique opportunity for you to do so. Reading with your children is a noble initiative that facilitates effective communication and interaction in your family. Indeed, the activity fosters a robust relationship between you and your children. Moreover, reading with your children accords them a sense of intimacy and well-being, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Doing so makes the children feel loved, and the attention received from parents helps them grow smart. Studies show that reading to your children improves their imagination and calms them when anxious and restless; thus, it is an essential undertaking during the Covid-19 pandemic.

As a parent, you play a pivotal role in your children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development when reading with them at home. Such an activity helps the minors to internalize the information and become better individuals in the future. While the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating, parents have had an opportunity to spend more time with their children. Indeed, reading to your children improves their intelligence, listening skills and attitude towards studies. Consequently, such children take personal initiative to read by themselves as they grow up. Studies show that reading can boost the IQ of your child by six points.

Besides, reading with your children profoundly improves their vocabulary and the mastery of language, among other concepts. Children become exposed to a wide range of words and phrases, which hasten their learning trajectory as they read with their parents. Also, reading stories to your children prolongs their attention span and improves their concentration. Other than the regular lessons taught in school, reading with children grants parents a golden opportunity to teach their children vital life lessons. These lessons are crucial during a child’s development because they are adequately prepared to overcome the potential life challenges.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic presents enormous challenges, it has strengthened families’ bond as they spend more time together. Parents can now take advantage of the limitations of the Covid-19 pandemic to improve their relationship with the children by reading with them. Studies show that reading with your children improves their intelligence, their attitude and prolongs their attention span. Moreover, parents can improve their children’s emotional and social skills by reading and communicating with them. This noble initiative also calms children, especially during anxiety and restlessness. Perhaps, it is time you considered reading with your child during the Covid-19 pandemic.
