We always talk about content. We always talk about marketing.
But podcast hosting?

No one does.

In this episode of The Freelancer’s Mic, I sit down with Vince Quinn, Co-Founder and Creative Director at SBX Productions and host of It’s Not Just Talking, to unpack the one podcast skill most people overlook hosting.

Vince brings his radio background, his years of experience, and his signature humor to help us understand how hosting well builds trust, boosts listener retention, and turns your show into a true business asset.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

✅ The surprising reason why most podcasters skip over hosting—and why that’s a big mistake
✅ What Vince learned from hosting across 225 radio stations that new podcasters often miss
✅ The real reason hosting is more than just “having a good mic”
✅ 3 simple ways to sound like a confident, natural host—even if you feel awkward now
✅ How great hosting keeps your listeners around (and makes you referable)

If you’ve been focused on your gear, your guests, or your growth but ignoring your hosting presence this episode will change how you show up behind the mic.

Tune in now and learn how to host like your brand depends on it because it does.
