Rob Greenlee and Todd Cochrane discuss the challenges and concerns of recommending YouTube to podcasters. Todd highlighted issues with the platform’s validation process, advertising policy, and monetization threshold. Additionally, he expressed concerns about the platform monetizing content and adding extra work for podcasters to manage each episode. They also discussed converting MP3 files into video files on YouTube and potentially losing metrics by replacing previously published episodes. Todd’s concerns about YouTube’s video-centric approach and Google’s past decisions regarding RSS were also discussed. Lastly, they discussed their concerns about Google’s decision to discontinue the Google Podcasts app, with Todd advising podcast creators to find alternative apps. PHD In Podcasting? Todd and Rob discussed an exciting new initiative – offering a ‘PhD in Podcasting’ to listeners who donate $1,000 to their show. They jokingly considered the logistics, including the design of the certificate and how to avoid counterfeiting. They also suggested that some listeners might be eligible for an honorary PhD. However, they acknowledged that no exams or qualifications would be required beyond the donation. The audience met the idea with amusement and intrigue, attracting many potential applicants. Some AI Updates The discussion covered the advancing technology of AI tools like Chat, Gpt, and Bard and how they can be used for conversations and image analysis. Rob shared his experience using these tools to analyze a podcast’s artwork. Todd mentioned testing the Zoom AI feature, which generates a summary of meetings and speculated about its potential for obsoleting third-party services. They discussed the importance of integrating AI into podcast hosting services and predicted that failure to do so would lead to the extinction of such companies within three years. They also reflected on the history and evolution of podcasting, including Leo Laporte’s past skepticism towards the medium. The conversation also involved regaining the rights to Todd’s book and updating it due to massive changes in the podcasting industry. Podcasting Platform Progress Rob and Todd discussed the potential for video podcasting to grow and their increased interest in this format. Todd emphasized the importance of feedback and communication between podcasters and hosting platforms and mentioned that they were working on improvements based on user suggestions. They also discussed the challenges of user interface (UI) design, acknowledging the need for consistency across different publishing methods. Todd and Rob discussed the advantages and disadvantages of other publishing platforms, noting that their platform offered more flexibility than WordPress. They concluded the discussion by reflecting on the need to occasionally overhaul a system rather than maintaining outdated versions.

Podcasting includes a 4th ERA | New Media Show - 9-20-2023

Narrowing your niche is one of the many secrets to standing out in the increasingly crowded digital soundscape. Whether you’re a brand, creator, or agency, hear from experts who have mastered the art of finding their unique voice and building a dedicated audience in the evolving podcast industry. Moderator: Rob Greenlee Is a well-known 18+ year podcast executive, show host, evangelist, professional speaker, and panel moderator/keynoter inside and outside the podcasting industry globally. He is the Founder of Spoken Life Media, LLC, Podcasting/Content Creator Partner, StreamYard.com/robg, and Co-Founder/Adviser, PodcastEZ.com. Former SVP, Podcast Content and Partnerships at Podbean.com, Former Board Governor “Treasurer” Member and former Founding Chairperson of The Podcast Academy, and 2017 Inductee into the Podcast Hall of Fame. In his roles at new media, tech, and podcast SaaS platform companies like Microsoft, PodcastOne, Spreaker, Voxnest, Libsyn, Advertisecast, and Podbean. Panelists: Carly Baker, Alan Black, Fatima Zaidi Questions: Everyone: In a world saturated with content, why is carving out a niche more crucial than ever? How does it contribute to the success and sustainability of a podcast? Carly: In your role at HubSpot, you get to work with many creators. Are there certain criteria HubSpot looks for from creators to join its network? What does HubSpot think about podcast niches? Alan: Canadaland holds a distinct space in the Canadian podcast landscape. Could you share insights about finding and refining the network’s niche? Do different shows address different niches, and if so, how do you identify them? Fatima: As the CEO of Quill, a podcast production agency that works with large corporate brands, how do you guide clients when identifying their niche? How do you ensure a brand’s podcast stands out? Everyone: How can a brand or podcast creator successfully pivot or refine their niche without alienating their existing audience? Here are some suggestions to narrow your podcast show niche: Identify your Interests and Expertise: What are you passionate about? What topics could you talk about for hours? What do you know better than most? Try to align your podcast with a subject matter that interests you and one where you have some level of expertise or a unique perspective to share. Research Existing Podcasts: Listen to existing podcasts in your area of interest. Please pay attention to what you think they are doing well and, more importantly, what you think is missing or could be done better. Target a Specific Audience: Who would be interested in your podcast? Be as specific as possible. Are they a particular age group, profession, or gender? Do they share a certain hobby or interest? The more detailed your audience profile, the more tailored (and thus more appealing) your podcast can be. Combine Niches: Consider blending two or more niches to create a unique angle that hasn't been explored yet. For example, if you're interested in technology and mental health, you could create a podcast focusing on how technology impacts mental health. Identify the Unique Selling Proposition (USP): What will set your podcast apart? It could be your unique perspective, a different format, unique guests, or perhaps your unique way of explaining complex ideas.

Todd and Rob talk about our favorite topic, RSS, in podcasting and go over the latest Podcast News, and somehow, the show ends up being one of the most snarky episodes we have created in some time. Sorry, some of these latest news reports are beyond obvious, and I hope no one is paying good money to learn some of the things we talk about today. We kick off joking about Rob hosting solo last week and Todd returning from a break. The conversation then turns to key takeaways from the recent Podcast Movement conference, including Blubrry picking up substantial new network business leads. Transitioning to podcasting news, they critique a recent Nielsen report on podcast listening growth. The discussion moves to advertising trends, with Todd sharing that multiple companies privately confessed business was flat over the last quarter, contrasting the publicly optimistic outlook. Additional topics include platforms like Spotify overpaying for episodes, competing for exclusivity, and trying to expand into podcasting with minimal growth, diminishing podcast publishing numbers, companies struggling to meet payments owed to podcasters, and more M&A activity shaking up the industry. Throughout the episode, Todd and Rob take an honest, straightforward perspective, business challenges, and changes in the podcasting landscape. They emphasize the importance of maintaining control and the value of open RSS standards. | New Media Show - 9-6-2023
