What do you want to hear from a cigar podcast?

What do you mean by light him up?

#1) EDITING!! Most Podcasts at way too long and way too boring, edit it down to under 30 minutes, and put them out more frequently as opposed to longer and less frequently.

#2) Reviews of multiple cigars...but something creative. Maybe a theme of the show (morning stogies, "most Cubanesque", etc.). Offer food/booze/wine paring ideas.

#3) They have to be funny and entertaining or no one will watch! Only famous people or those with awesome info can afford not to be funny.

#4) Industry rumors. There are entire websites in many industries that are based solely on rumors. Look for things here and there, look for rumors about the companies you're reviewing that week.

#5) Contests, contests, CONTESTS! People will listen if they think that they might win something. Figure out a cool way to do a contest every show...a free 5-er of the stick(s) you're reviewing...something.

#6) Guests on the show. Bring cool stoggie industry people on. Bring on a tercerdor and have him/her show us how to roll a cigar, etc.

[You'll likely have to start out offering your own stuff, then as you get viewers you should be able to score promos both for reviewing and for giveaways.]

Good luck!

I've been listening to a few podcasts and most of them are mono tone voices, very little emotion, I'd like to hear a podcast that makes me feel like I'm at a poker game or bar with a few of my buddies, talking about cigars,women,sports,beer,movies..etc. I want to hear some ball busting, some laughing and maybe even some crying..The Animal house of cigar podcasts!!

You can us skype for interviews and to have other people on the show.

Skype is a great idea! industry news as well. When i talk to people, i find that they know way more than me about cigars. But, not about the industry news. I love hearing about that stuff.

Good luck!
