I enjoyed working with my teammates in that first week, but I wasn’t happy with the final product. It also felt like my team moved too far, too fast, and we were all trying to get our voices in, so it ended up a bit of a jumble that didn’t teach the judges about us, which was the whole point. I think my willingness to play the “villain” in this piece was a big mistake and might have soured one of the judges against me from the jump. I was on set here in Long Beach during the first team meeting, and by the time I recovered from a late shoot and wrapped my head around what I’d missed, the team had already pulled together this game show concept to introduce ourselves to the judges. You won’t hear much from me in the first week. ROLES: Editor, Voiceover, VO Director/Improv Coach MY TEAM’S SUBMISSION – “QUESTIONABLE CHAMPIONS” Scripted Game Show Sketch It’s the first time our contestants meet our judges, Scott Johnson, Jennie Josephson and Justin Robert Young, to see how they did with their first challenge: Creating an Audio Drama that introduces us to who they are! Stick around after my interview to learn about the other contestants. I outlined some of my reasons for joining the show this season above, but the Patreon version features the incomparable Bobby Frankenberger asking me about my history in podcasting going all the way back to the year 2000 + my book Fan Podcasting: The Complete Guide. After some preamble from the host and producers. This episode will introduce you to me and my distinguished competition. We’ve also got a brand new batch of contestants – let’s meet them!
It’s a brand new season of America’s Next Top Podcaster, and we’ve got new challenges, new twists, and the same judges you know and love. If you don’t have any interest in that, you’ll still hear a lot of silliness and some useful tips from me. If you want a peek behind the scenes of podcast production, you’ll love it and learn from America’s Next Top Podcaster. Who knows how it will all end up? For me, it’s all about the process. I’ll keep this post updated with new content as the team at ANTP releases it. I’ve got to work with a wide range of podcasters of all skill levels and disciplines, received productive feedback from successful podcasters, but the biggest thing I’m getting out of this is a chance to play with new people and work on something that isn’t “The Bill Meeks Show” where I’m leading the charge on everything. That’s happening now, and I’ll be knee-deep in comedy and acting stuff by the time you hear the season finale, but ANTP has been a welcome respite in an otherwise lonely six months since the rest of my family got back to school/work. Naturally, ANTP sounded like a fun way to collaborate with online friends new and old while I waited for things in Los Angeles to open back up. They even guest-starred on my comedy podcast The Fakist. I also know a few of the other judges/coaches (namely Tom Merritt, Justin Robert Young, and Scott Johnson) from various team-ups over the years. A couple of months back, Brian Ibbot, the host of Coverville (the first podcast I ever listened to) put out a call for the fourth season of his podcasting reality competition America’s Next Top Podcaster. Since I moved back to Los Angeles last year, I’ve been biding my time for this whole COVID-19 thing to blow over so I could get back to creating with people on the stage and in front of the camera. Like a lot of creative people, I’ve kept busy over the pandemic.
