I’m a big fan both of Elaine and her show! Her enthusiasm and insights about audio storytelling are fabulous. The questions she poses to guests aren’t just about the story they’ve told, but about the thinking behind the story structure. You know you love a show, but why? Elaine helps to reveal...Read full review »

I am new to the podcasting world and had been unsystematically consulting resources in the last few months without a specific agenda. Elaine’s “Storytelling Strategies” episodes gave me a great framework to continue learning about storytelling - in a more systematic way!

Elaine is on a quest to discover this mysterious quality called “hostiness,” but she already illustrates two of the qualities herself: a voice and warmth that are great to listen to, and a natural rapport with guests. Great questions which help us learn from each of her all-star guests, and she...Read full review »

Elaine is specific and thorough, answering questions that everyone is wondering, but not too many people are addressing. Each episode is packed with real advice, multiple takeaways for people in audio. The takeaways at the end are hugely valuable.

Elaine clearly has a mission to bring us inside the MAKING of the shows. It’s bizarre to me that so few want to share the magic of making podcasts in favor of general advice, sans-audio clips, or industry voyeurism. This is so inspiring. Glad to have found it!
jacunzo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
Sound Judgment is spectacular. Elaine Grant could give a Master Class on how to conduct an interview. She is generous, curious, and asks her guests the ‘perfect’ question to highlight the very best in her guests. If you host an interview style podcast, this is a must listen. Sound Judgment is a...Read full review »

No need to be a podcaster to glean insights into storytelling, reporting and the art of ‘hostiness.’ Any creative—writer, producer, artist—will find actionable tips in every episode.

Thoughtful, well-curated, and substantive craft conversations about podcast hosting. So worth thinking about in more depth. Sweet conversations, could use a touch of editing polishing to smooth out audible breaths and spliced transitions.

Elaine Grant embodies the best qualities of a podcast host. She’s warm, friendly & delves into great questions about what makes podcasts and their hosts great. Her gift is taking us behind closed doors to hear how the pros make their magic.

The trailer already has me hooked. There’s such an overload of information out there about podcasting, but this one cuts through the confusion to offer the information podcasters need most: how to be an engaging, successful host who inspires listeners and attracts a large, loyal audience.
