The blessed sound of silence.
So while listening to the latest episode of The Bitterest Pill I became more of a fan of Dan Klass. Dan is a great story teller, but the best part about his show is his timing. And what I’ve now realized why I like his show so much is the use of silence. It is all too common to hear podcasters say umms and ahhs just to fill the air between words. Other podcasters just talk so dang fast there is no pause between words. Dan has no problem just stopping what he’s saying and waiting for the next thing he’s going to say to either pop in his head, or he just lets the previous thought sink in. I may be putting more thought than he’s put into it, but the effect is the same.
So…Incorporate some space inbetween thoughts instead of filling up every KB of your show with words. Your listeners will appreciate it and just might stick around.
Peace,
Russ
