Rate ShowHall of Fame for a Reason
A chatty show that treats listeners like family vs. one hurling podcasing tidbits. Podcasters, like any group, are often enamored hot, shiny baubles. Dave Jackson has a fantastic knack for helping people refocus on the basics that help you grow a podcast and skip the mistakes. I've avoided so many problems by listening to this podcast.

School of Podcasting
Awesome podcast. I recently started listening to SOP and I’m so glad I found it. Dave is really entertaining and engaging and there’s so much to learn — for podcasters and non-podcasters alike. I especially love the ‘Because of my podcast’ stories that are highlighted on the show.

One Of The Best!
I've been following Dave's work for a long time, and am long overdue to writing a review for what is withouth a doubt one of the best shows on podcasting around.
Dave brings fantastic perspective to all things podcasting and you know his heart is really in helping indie podcasters do the best with what they have available to them.
If you're a podcaster looking to improve and grow your show, do yourself a favour and check it out!

Great Show Dave!
Dave is awesome and I really admire him. This podcast should be a must before you launch your own podcast. The insight and knowledge you gain here is huuuge. The book he has “profit from your podcast” is a great tool for everyone who wants to upgrade the show from a hobbie to a business.

Wasn’t sure but then I was hooked
At first I thought oh man, this guy is like a sports announcer, but the episode was so good I immediately listened To the next episode and subscribed. There’s some great nuggets of advice that I will immediately put into my podcast. Highly recommend for anyone, senior or newbie podcasters alike. Thank you!

Not the most technical, but the most motivating
Tired of going down techie rabbit holes? Tired of Rah Rah passive income nonsense. Check out THE Dave Jackson. He's a podcasting OG, but still remembers what it's like to be a newbie. Has the technical chops to be really helpful, but understands that podcasting isn't about the tech. Check out a couple episodes. He's kind of like your crazy Uncle. Lots of cheesy jokes, but you'll love him to death.

Useful and informative podcast
I’ve found this podcast useful and informative, and at the same time interesting to listen to.
Sometimes the episodes go off topic a bit too far (I would personally prefer it to be more brief at times) but that’s the only quarrel I have. I wouldn’t mark it down for it though

Great job
I like this podcast a lot because I am a podcaster “ What’s That “ it gives me the best tips and tricks for my podcast
The only thing I don’t like is he trash talked anchor, which is the platform ,It is so easy to use and it is free
But other than that it is pretty good

The Master Chef of Podcasting
Most podcasts are explaining ingredients when you need to understand a menu.
Dave’s school of podcasting is the right balance of menu, recipe and ingredients
He is the master chef of balance and he explains podcasting in a way that gives you the confidence to say “I can do that” and then actually to it.
He can explain the basics of the best ingredients and explains a range of recipes whether you are basic, intermediate or expert.
I really appreciate your ability to communicate and educate
Thanks for all you do for podcasting and podcasters

Fantastic Show
Stumbled across this while searching for some how to start a podcast tips. Great guests, and a really great style of running his shows, even if you’re not looking to start your own podcast just yet, it’s still worth a listen. Highly recommend.

Definitely helped me get started
Dave’s podcasts were very helpful in getting me started with my own podcast. In addition to the operational knowledge, he is a great motivator. The motivational aspect kept moving me to action.

Excellent + Immediate Value
This is an excellent podcast that offers immediate value. I learned multiple valuable insights and was taking copious notes the entire time.

A great lesson every week
SOP is a definite must-listen for anybody looking to get into podcasting. Whether as a hobby or as a business, Dave has words of wisdom with the gusto of a Top 40 DJ. So many great nuggets of knowledge, almost NONE of which are about tech, microphone styles, or recording platforms. SOP proves you can sound good on a budget.

Everything You Need to Know
...is right here, at the School of Podcasting and in the satellite campuses in the Podcasting Network. Dave Jackson tells you honestly, openly, and with the right level of wit, humor, and compassion what you need to know to launch and succeed with a podcast. No, it’s not about the mic. Or the host. And not the mixer. It’s about the “why”, and Dave tells you, on many levels, how to hone your why. Want to launch a podcast? Start here.

A must-listen for podcasters
SOP is pretty much my go to for everything to do with podcasting. I’m working on launching my own podcast and everything is covered here to get me going. Honestly listening to Dave and his guests has really helped calm some of my nerves and give me the tools and motivation to get this off the ground. I definitely recommend if you’re planning to launch a podcast or currently run one and want to learn more!

Always a good lesson
Dave Jackson and The School of Podcasting rocks my socks. Dave says what needs to be said and it’s like I’m listening to myself with a deeper voice because he speaks my language. You’ll always get an easily implementable takeaway. Five stars!

This podcast has saved me time and money
Edutainment at its finest. Dave knows his (you know what) about podcasting but delivers the information in a way that’s fun to listen to.

Real, honest, entertaining and educational!
I’ve known Dave for years as the podcast guy, I’ve seen him speak on it as well. But it wasn’t until I finally launched my podcast that I tuned into his show. Within just a few episodes, I realized that I should have been listening way before I started. Dave is a wealth of information. I love that he is brutally honest, and not afraid to tell it like it is. I will be listening going forward, as this information is what I need to grow and improve my podcast!

Excellent podcast teacher
I love both podcasts: School of Podcasting and Your Podcast Consultant. Your Podcast Consultant is my favorite of the two because it gets to the point. School of Podcasting is wonderful as well. Dave Jackson shares what he knows in a way I need to hear it. I am starting my own podcast this year, and Dave’s podcasts are helping me. I appreciate Dave’s offer during his podcast to hire him as a consultant. I’m planning to get his opinion before I record my first episode. I don’t know about you, but I can’t see my blind spots. I know Dave can. I appreciate your podcasts! Thank you Dave!
