Introducing: Takin' A Walk

Buzz Knight should be a familiar name to anyone who's followed us
for a while. He's been on the podcast twice before, and we've
talked at length about his show, Takin' A Walk: Music History On
Foot. This week, we're doing a full-on feed swap!


If you're somehow unaware of Buzz and the concept behind Takin' A
Walk, it's a show designed around the simple pleasure of a
refreshing walk and a good conversation. Buzz speaks to music
legends from different genres, hoping to catch them in their
element by taking them for a walk around areas that mean
something special to them. And he definitely succeeds! He's found
that people tend to tell some really interesting stories (and
have an easier time getting comfortable) when they're out getting
fresh air in places they've made memories.


Buzz is also a great example of something more podcasters should
take advantage of: niche-ing down. We've talked about this
concept on our episodes with Buzz and Evo Terra, but in summary,
to "niche down" your show means to focus exclusively on a
particular type of content. Sounds simple, right? And yet so many
podcasts seem to be about everything. One episode they'll talk
about their personal lives, the next episode they'll interview an
athlete, then they'll talk politics, et cetera, et cetera, ad
infinitum. If you've got a great personality, or an established
fanbase, that can work fine. But let's be honest- most of us
don't. By focusing on a particular niche, like music history in
Buzz's case, and trimming the rest of the fat, you open the door
to becoming the go-to show for anyone interested in that niche.
It's worked quite well for Buzz, if you couldn't tell by looking
at his guest list: Brian Johnson of AC/DC, Paula Abdul, and many
more.
