In & Around Podcasting

We love podcast industry podcasts - there are a lot of them and they're run by smart, passionate people who live and breathe podcasting and who are usually industry professionals. Sometimes though, they don't give the day-to-day enthusiast, creator or indie podcaster a platform to have their say, often taking "the view from the top" as delivered by the "podcasting professionals". In & Around Podcasting has been designed to respect and live alongside those shows and to be an accessible, inclusive podcast for every single podcaster; a show that allows everyone with an interest in the medium to have a fair, open and transparent view on the podcasting industry and how it affects them - this is your place to be heard. The podcasting industry belongs to us all, not just the elite and it doesn't matter how long you've been in the industry, your voice is valuable.

Podcasting Has an Analytics Problem

Currently, if a podcaster wants to get the full picture of their show's growth, they need to look at multiple analytics reports: their hosting company, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and now YouTube. Then they need to correlate how all this data is presented, since it can be very different, depending on IAB Certification, downloads, listens, and more. And that's just the podcaster - then you have media and ad buyer data, too. So how do we bring all this convoluted data together, and where do podcast analytics need to improve to give that fuller picture? Join your host Danny Brown and guest co-host Dan Misener as they dive in to podcasting's analytics problem. Our guest co-host this week: Dan Misener Dan Misener is co-founder of Bumper, a podcast growth agency. Prior to co-founding Bumper, Dan served as Director of Audience Development at Pacific Content. Prior to that, he spent a decade working in public radio at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), both on-air and behind-the-scenes. He was involved in the CBC's earliest podcasting efforts, and served as producer on many national and local news and current affairs programs. Dan has taught podcasting and audio storytelling at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, the RTA School of Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, and through the Podcast Career Accelerator program at the Hot Docs Podcast Festival. Dan is host and producer of the independent live event and podcast series Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids, which has won several industry awards and been downloaded more than 10 million times.

It was recently announced that Alby, one of the most popular streaming sats platforms for podcasters when using Value4Value (V4V), is no longer offering new accounts to people in the US.

Which Podcast Hosting Company is For Sale? Plus... Good or Bad for the Industry?

In the June 3 edition of industry publication Podnews, editor James Cridland reported on the rumour of "a large podcast hosting company having an all-hands meeting with the news that they'd found a buyer for the company." There's also industry rumours of at least three hosting companies either looking for buyers or open to buyer approaches. We've seen podcast hosting companies either close or be acquired before: Spotify bought Anchor and Megaphone, and Global acquired Captivate, as some examples. So with the rumour mill around more acquisitions currently red-hot, does this mean podcast hosting is in a boom & bust period? Or is it just a sign of a medium continuing to mature and take advantage of good opportunities? Join Danny and guest co-host Eric Silver, as they discuss what this means for hosting in general, and what the lay of the land might look like in 12 months time. Our guest co-host this week is Eric Silver Eric Silver is an award-winning podcast producer, game designer, and teacher based in the great state of New York. He's the Head of Development and co-founder of Multitude, an independent podcast collective and production studio in Brooklyn.

Apple, Spotify, YouTube: Are Platforms Making It Harder to Start and Grow a Podcast?

At the end of March this year, industry publication Podnews published its annual Podnews Report Card. This asks podcasters to complete a scorecard on podcast platforms, and where they're doing well, and where they're doing not so well. Across the board, all main platforms - Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon Music - had a lower score than last year when it came to helping listeners discover and follow a podcast. The same happened when asked how easy it was to list a new podcast, with all main platforms suffering a drop in the previous year's score. Join your usual hosts Mark Asquith and Danny Brown, with special guest co-host Genevieve Hassan, as they break down this report, and what the bigger podcast platforms need to do to when it comes to helping podcasters start and grow a podcast. Our guest co-host this week is Genevieve Hassan Genevieve is a former BBC News senior entertainment journalist who's interviewed hundreds of celebrities for more than a decade - including A-listers such as Chris Pratt, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Keanu Reeves, Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake and Kristen Wiig.

Spotify Removes Recording Feature - What Now for Podcasting Tech Stacks?

Spotify recently announced they're no longer offering the option to easily record and edit within the platforms's hosting dashboard, a popular feature that was part of podcast host Anchor, before it was rebranded as Spotify for Podcasters. Online communities on Reddit and Facebook are full of upset podcasters looking for alternatives, since many podcasters used the "all-in-one" recorder/editor/publisher. So, should podcast hosting platforms continue down the tech stack path, or is this a sign that perhaps a "one size fits all" isn't a viable strategy in the long run? Join your regular hosts Mark and Danny, with guest co-host Neal Veglio, as they discuss what hosting looks like in 2024 and beyond.

Does YouTube Actually Care About Podcasting?

We hear it on all the industry podcasts and publications/newsletters: YouTube is the preferred destination for podcast listeners/viewers (and let's not get into the whole "but it's not RSS" debate). But for podcasters, it can be a different story: ---RSS feed ingestion release was left wanting in some key areas ---analytics are still not provided to podcast hosting companies ---to do it properly, you kinda do need proper video But can 2024 be the year YouTube "gets it right"? ---they've advised they're updating the API to support better hosting company integration ---they've added some new podcast-specific features to YouTube Music app ---they advise they've heard podcaster frustrations and are committed to better support for audio-only creators So, what do we think? Is 2024 the year Google gets podcasting "right" via YouTube? Join your regular hosts Mark and Danny as they ask the question: does YouTube actually care about podcasting?

Does Podcasting Still Need the IAB? A Deep Dive with James Cridland

Spotify recently announced they've ceased their membership of the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau), which has long been seen as the standard for the podcast industry when it comes to analytics and measurement. This announcement means Spotify for Podcasters (previously Anchor), Megaphone, and Chartable are no longer IAB Certified.

Why Do Podcasters Quit by Episode 5?

Many podcasts don't make it past episode five, according to new data from the Podcast Index. In this episode, Mark, Danny, Dave Jackson, and Ashley Hamer discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding podcasting. Takeaways ---Many podcasts don't make it past episode five, possibly due to the rise of free podcast hosting platforms like Anchor, now Spotify for Podcasters. ---The lack of immediate feedback and community engagement in podcasting can be disheartening for new podcasters. ---The influx of celebrity podcasts and the perception of difficulty in getting noticed may discourage indie podcasters. ---To overcome these challenges, podcasters should focus on their internal motivation, have a long list of episode topics, and plan for breaks or hiatuses. ---Setting realistic expectations is crucial in podcasting, as it takes time and effort to grow an audience and make money. ---Podcasting is not a quick way to make six figures, and it's important to focus on creating valuable content and building a loyal audience. Our co-hosts this week: - - Dave Jackson Dave Jackson began podcasting in 2005 and launched the School of Podcasting (schoolofpodcasting.com). His School of Podcasting show has over 3.1 million downloads. He has helped hundreds of people plan, launch, and grow their podcasts. He is the author of the book Profit from your podcast and is a featured speaker at events.

Do Small Podcast Apps Really Have a Future?

In this episode, Danny, Sam Sethi, and Garry Aylott discuss the current state of podcasting apps and the recent closures of several apps. They explore the challenges faced by podcasting apps in terms of monetization and discoverability, and question whether this means some podcast apps have a future. The conversation also touches on the need for apps to offer more features and interactivity to both listeners and creators, and the potential for larger apps to tap into their existing platforms and open up APIs to smaller apps, creating a more diverse and innovative ecosystem. Takeaways ---Podcasting apps face challenges in terms of monetization and discoverability. ---Apps need to offer more features and interactivity to attract and retain listeners and creators. ---Larger apps could tap into their existing platforms and open up APIs to smaller apps to create a more diverse and innovative ecosystem. ---Education and communication are key to bridging the gap between the podcasting community and the mainstream audience. Listen to your audience and be selective about which features to use in your podcasting app. ---App closures and consolidations are likely to occur in the future. ---Support your favorite podcasting apps to help them stay in the game.

Does AI Need Regulation in Podcasting?

Let's explore the moral aspect of AI and the importance of maintaining human connection and authenticity in content creation. Takeaways ---Maintaining human connection and authenticity is crucial in content creation, and AI should be used as a tool to enhance and streamline the process. ---Voice impersonation and the security of personal voices are valid concerns in an AI-driven world, and measures should be taken to protect creators and their content. ---Creators should be intentional in their content creation, focusing on their unique stories and expertise, and using AI to enhance their message rather than replace it. ---Platforms have a responsibility to ensure ethical use of AI and protect creators, but creators also have a role in understanding and mitigating the risks associated with AI. AI regulation is necessary to protect individuals and society from potential harm. ---Private companies, such as Apple and Spotify, should collaborate to address AI regulation collectively. ---Individuals face challenges in protecting themselves from AI, and government intervention is needed. ---AI tools, such as transcription services, can enhance accessibility and improve podcasting workflows. ---Video is not essential for podcasting success; audio-only podcasts can thrive.

Is Podcasting 2.0 Pointless?

In this episode, Mark, Danny, Joe Casabona, and Daniel J. Lewis discuss the future of Podcasting 2.0 and its impact on the podcasting industry. They explore the challenges and benefits of implementing Podcasting 2.0 features, such as transcripts and chapter markers. The conversation also touches on the complexity of value for value in Podcasting 2.0 and the need for better app support. Additionally, they discuss the importance of engagement and handling negative reviews in podcasting. The episode concludes with Danny's dream AI tool and a recommendation for the Knick Knack News podcast. Takeaways Podcasting 2.0 is an evolving movement that aims to improve the podcasting and podcast consumption experience for everyone. Implementing Podcasting 2.0 features should be based on the goals and needs of individual podcasters and their audiences. Reviews and ratings do not directly impact podcast rankings, but they can provide social proof and engagement opportunities. Engaging with listeners and focusing on the positives is more important than dwelling on negative reviews. App support for Podcasting 2.0 features is still limited, but the recent support from Apple is a positive sign for the future of the movement.

Podcasting's Death is Greatly Exaggerated, Right?

“You can’t make money unless you have 10-20,000 downloads in the first 28 days”, and “you’re not serious podcaster if you’re not hitting those downloads, you’re just a hobbyist” Plus! Stupid stuff from a "guru" telling us to double our output and our guest co-host drives The Flattering Ram! Our co-host this week is , . Connect with our co-host: , , . Takeaways ---Monetisation opportunities in podcasting go beyond traditional sponsorships and can include direct sales, merchandise, speaking engagements, and more. ---Nurturing super fans is a long-term process that requires thoughtful work and strategy. ---The old school thinking that high download numbers are necessary for monetization is not always true, and alternative approaches can be successful. ---It's important to have a clear vision and strategy for your podcast, considering factors such as audience, goals, and values. ---The elitist mindset in the podcasting industry can discourage aspiring podcasters, but it's important to focus on your own journey and passion. Don't let the elitist mindset in podcasting discourage you from starting a podcast. Enjoy the process and focus on your own goals. ---Having a plan is important for podcasters who want to achieve specific outcomes, such as monetization or building a community. ---Starting a podcast as a hobby can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth. ---Building super fans takes time and consistency. Don't expect immediate results. ---Celebrity podcasts may have an advantage in terms of initial listenership, but building a loyal fan base takes time and effort. ---Doubling the number of episodes does not necessarily lead to increased listenership. Focus on quality and engaging content. ---Listenership is more important than download numbers. Focus on building a loyal audience. ---Shine a light on people doing great things in the podcasting industry and support their work.

A Fresh Look at the Podcasting Industry - What to Expect

We love podcast industry podcasts - there are a lot of them and they're run by smart, passionate people who live and breathe podcasting and who are usually industry professionals. Sometimes though, they don't give the day-to-day enthusiast, creator or indie podcaster a platform to have their say, often taking "the view from the top" as delivered by the "podcasting professionals". In & Around Podcasting has been designed to respect and live alongside those shows and to be an accessible, inclusive podcast for every single podcaster; a show that allows everyone with an interest in the medium to have a fair, open and transparent view on the podcasting industry and how it affects them - this is your place to be heard. The podcasting industry belongs to us all, not just the elite and it doesn't matter how long you've been in the industry, your voice is valuable.
