Free Transcriptions with Whisper
Whisper is a powerful speech-to-text tool developed by OpenAI. It can listen to your podcast audio and transcribe it into accurate text — automatically, privately, and with no ongoing cost.
Unlike paid transcription services, Whisper is open-source and free. Once installed, you can transcribe unlimited audio — all while keeping your files private.
IMPORTANT: This method requires installing Python, running commands through Terminal or the Command Prompt and often takes a little fiddling to get right. Once it’s done though, you’re good to go. The key thing is to simply ASK an AI to help you if you get stuck.
Audience Feedback Form
Why Every Podcaster (and Vodcaster) Needs a Listener Feedback Survey — and How We’ve Built a Better One
No matter how great your show is, there’s one truth you can’t escape: your audience’s experience is the real measure of your success.
You may love your sound, your cover art, your interviews — but do your listeners and viewers feel the same way?
To truly level up, you need direct, honest, structured feedback. Not random reviews, not vague DMs — real data you can actually use.
That’s why we created a Listener Feedback Survey built specifically for podcasters and vodcasters who want to get better.
Why This Survey Exists
Traditional podcast surveys are often too broad (“Did you like the show?”) or too shallow (“Rate from 1–5 stars”).
We wanted something deeper — something that digs into the real craft of podcasting and vodcasting:
Sound quality 🎙️
Storytelling flow 🧠
Editing and pacing ✂️
Interview skills 🎤
Visual presentation (for vodcasts) 🎥
Voice and delivery 🎶
Cover art and branding 🎨
Emotional connection with the audience ❤️
Plus, we added an open-ended “Digital Suggestion Box” so your audience can toss in new ideas, critiques, or creative sparks you may never have considered.
This survey isn’t just about finding out what’s broken. It’s about discovering what’s working beautifully too — so you can double down on your strengths.
📋 What’s Inside the Survey
Easy multiple-choice questions — built to be thoughtful but fast
Open-ended fields for true listener insight
A design that feels friendly, not intimidating
Versions that work for audio-only podcasters and vodcasters (with questions on visual quality, on-camera presence, and video editing)
A digital experience optimized to feel quick, respectful, and anonymous (so you get honest feedback)
Why You Should Use It
Podcasters who actively gather structured feedback grow faster.
Shows that ignore their audience’s evolving needs? They fade.
Using this survey:
You’ll spot issues you didn’t know were hurting your show.
You’ll get ideas that listeners actually want — not guesses.
You’ll strengthen loyalty by showing you listen back to your audience.
You’ll fine-tune your craft and make smarter creative decisions.
Most importantly: you’ll keep your podcast relevant, growing, and resonating.
