While waiting for Sarah Koenig’s closing keynote at Podcast Movement 2015, we recorded a full episode of The Showrunner from the exhibit hall floor. We figured we’d get it out to you as soon as possible.

Reason 1: Because it was fun, the recording quality ended up being quite good, and we want to transfer our Podcast Movement enthusiasm to you while it’s still fresh and relevant.

Reason 2: The Showrunner Podcasting Course reopened today. And what better excuse to remind you, than with 30 bonus minutes of entertaining, informative content?

Among the topics we discuss:

• The big takeaway from Jordan Harbinger s presentation about being the gatekeeper for your audience
• How Jordan s advice would have helped Jonny two weeks ago during an interview that wasn t going well
• The birth of Smack the Entrepreneur
• The essential power of excitement and and a feeling of ownership for your project
• How Jonny rocked his panel on sponsorships (the power of building relationships and, yes, being human)
• Quick hit takeaways from keynote presentations by Pat Flynn, Roman Mars, John Lee Dumas, Lou Mongello, Aisha Tyler, and Marc Maron

Then we do a live listener question, with one of the members of The Showrunner Podcasting Course: Tosha Alani. She asked us what has been the most rewarding part about being here at Podcast Movement 2015, especially with so many Showrunners in attendance. We answer, as does she.

We follow that with a live podcast recommendation, but it’s not us doing the recommendation: we find someone and have him do his own recommendation. The show is Submarine Sea Stories by Navy veteran Bill Nowicki. (Get it on iTunes here.)

This was fun, and the conference was great. Listen, learn, enjoy …
