Ask Should podcast videos be entertaining to keep guests or strictly educative and informative?

[Newman]

Whether we are engaging in podcasting for promoting our business, increasing sales or even want to promote our brands, there should be more of entertaining nature in it. People get bored easily when they are not entertained. With this, it means podcasters should ensure to infuse entertainment nature to whatever podcast videos they are making.

Aside this, podcasters should know how to keep their users wanting more. This is the best part to use. Give them suspence. It is better for them to be asking where have you been than asking when would you finish?

Podcasts work best when they're both fun and informative. If it's all facts and no personality, guests and listeners can get bored fast. But if it's just jokes and chit-chat, no one really learns anything. Mixing in stories, humor, and casual conversation makes guests feel comfy and keeps things interesting, while still giving people useful info. Basically, a podcast that's chill but still teaches stuff is way more memorable,

Podcast videos shouldn't be all serious or all fun. If it's just straight-up information, people might get bored and click off. But if it's only jokes and vibes, then it doesn't really stick or feel useful. The sweet spot is keeping things chill, a bit funny, and still dropping some good points people can learn from. When the convo feels natural, like friends talking, guests are more likely to stay and actually enjoy it. Add some stories, personality, and real reactions, and it becomes way more engaging.

It really depends on your goal and audience. If the podcast is too dry and only educational, some listeners might lose interest fast, even if the content is good. Adding a bit of entertainment, like stories, humor, or light conversation, can make it more engaging without taking away from the value.
