Top-ten podcast tips, judged against the show
The hosts work through a top-ten podcasting-tips list against their own show: decent equipment (a new mic being tested), the Jesus theme with the unchanged working-man opening song (and the royalties joke), quality, not pandering, SEO (the show name is un-Googleable — 'search result 2,046'), great guests (a sobering admission that many early musical guests fell away from the faith, including one who asked to be taken down), and consistency. Tangents include renaming the show 'Mississippi Don't Push' or 'Maybe Judas Didn't Do It' for searchability, the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill release cadence, and a coworker's 'unknown news' podcast bit.
