00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:05.692
Hi, I'm Mandolin Royle and I would like to welcome you to another episode of the Poultry Keepers podcast.

00:00:05.692 --> 00:00:09.691
Joining me in the studio are John Gunterman and Rip Stalvey.

00:00:09.691 --> 00:00:15.153
We're looking forward to visiting with you and talking poultry from feathers to function.

00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:27.786
We're proud of our podcast and what it's done.

00:00:27.786 --> 00:00:28.989
In just a few short months.

00:00:28.989 --> 00:00:33.991
No other podcasts that we're aware of does the poultry content the way we do.

00:00:33.991 --> 00:00:34.902
So what are we at?

00:00:34.902 --> 00:00:44.133
Eight months old now and we continue to grow Almost 10,000 episode downloads and listeners in 60 plus countries.

00:00:44.133 --> 00:00:45.447
To me that's astounding.

00:00:45.447 --> 00:00:49.972
I'd love to hear from some of these people Check in, tell us where you're listening from.

00:00:49.972 --> 00:00:51.179
I think that's really cool.

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:52.284
Let's put a pin in the map.

00:00:52.284 --> 00:01:00.844
So we felt it was time for some evaluation and reflection on how we can do a better job delivering content to the listeners.

00:01:00.844 --> 00:01:07.263
So often we've said this is kind of hard to explain without you know the visual aspect.

00:01:07.263 --> 00:01:15.006
So Rip came up with a brilliant idea that just adds to the value to the listener and makes a resource available.

00:01:15.006 --> 00:01:16.831
So why don't you tell us about it?

00:01:16.870 --> 00:01:25.545
Rip you bet, john, since we began the poultry keepers podcast, we've only been able to offer you audio content, but that's about to change.

00:01:25.545 --> 00:01:44.093
We've always asked ourselves some basic questions to keep us focused when we're doing our podcast, and those are will the content be accurate, will it be useful, is it a very high quality, and are there new types of content we should offer?

00:01:44.093 --> 00:01:50.079
We've also had the goal of adding greater value to your experience as a listener.

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.879
You may be surprised to learn that Walt Disney played a role in these new improvements we're doing.

00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.111
Disney was founded on a couple of important concepts.

00:01:59.111 --> 00:02:03.846
First was to provide the highest quality and everything they did.

00:02:03.846 --> 00:02:11.287
Second, disney always strives to offer program experiences that will exceed their guest expectations.

00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:21.432
Now, 15 years ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a program on improving guest experiences at the Disney Institute in Orlando, florida.

00:02:21.432 --> 00:02:32.032
That training experience impressed upon me the need to maintain high standards, provide quality experiences and offer great guest service.

00:02:32.032 --> 00:02:41.280
So we've used these three Disney concepts to create a plan for improvements in our podcast that we think you're really going to like.

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:46.240
Now there's no need to worry, because these are all going to be positive improvements.

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:56.210
You'll still have the same team of co-hosts for this podcast, we will still be providing you more of the content you have come to depend on and enjoy.

00:02:57.133 --> 00:02:58.515
So what lies ahead?

00:02:58.515 --> 00:03:02.590
Well, the name of our podcast will remain the same.

00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:03.674
That's not changing.

00:03:03.674 --> 00:03:07.848
Probably the first thing you'll see will be some cosmetic changes.

00:03:07.848 --> 00:03:26.875
Now we've noticed that some people confuse our podcast with the Poultry Keepers 360 Live Streams, so we want to avoid that by adding new brand colors, a new logo and a new tagline that says Talking Poultry from Feathers to Function.

00:03:26.875 --> 00:03:34.247
We all like birds that look good, but they should really perform well too, so it's important that we focus on that function.

00:03:34.247 --> 00:03:39.965
Our first major project will be to create a new poultry keepers podcast Facebook group.

00:03:39.965 --> 00:03:42.775
We know some of you have been asking for this already.

00:03:42.775 --> 00:03:57.093
We'll use it to bring you new and different forms of supplemental content that complement our podcast, like transcripts, a way to give you printed content, graphic images, photos and videos.

00:03:57.093 --> 00:04:02.128
We'll also offer references and resource lists for you to use.

00:04:02.951 --> 00:04:06.643
I'm excited for the visual side of what we're going to be able to do, moving forward.

00:04:07.806 --> 00:04:10.372
I think it's going to make all the difference in the world for listeners.

00:04:10.372 --> 00:04:11.181
I really do.

00:04:11.181 --> 00:04:18.108
It's also a way to exchange information and ideas with other poultry keepers worldwide.

00:04:23.677 --> 00:04:24.922

Now back to our show.

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:42.947
We're still looking at what components to provide here, but it will have features that offer all our podcast episodes in one place.

00:05:42.947 --> 00:05:49.915
We're looking at how to make our own content available to our viewers.

00:05:49.915 --> 00:05:54.915
We're looking at how to make our own content available to our viewers.

00:05:54.915 --> 00:06:00.163

We're looking at how to make our new home base for members of our podcast community.

00:06:35.987 --> 00:06:41.088
Bet you're asking when we're going to start.

00:06:41.088 --> 00:06:46.286
We actually begin implementing these improvements today with our new logo in brand colors.
