How many podcasts have you been a guest for? As we discuss in today's episodes, being a guest on other podcasts is one of the highest returns on investments of time you can have. A lot goes into being a good guest, message, sound quality, and the right type of podcast.  It can be overwhelming all by itself, just podcasting add guesting on top of that, but as Mathew helps us see there is a process, it's a lot easier than we think once we get started. But as most things seem really difficult in the beginning once we get started, that first jump is always much shorter than it looks.

When Roe vs Wade was overturned, did you wonder how you could help? "Every podcaster has a voice" is the common language in the industry, but what happens when the voices combine to advocate for change? That is precisely what Arielle did with the recent Roe vs. Wade overturned issue. She posted a call to action on Twitter which exploded into people rallying around the effort and offering to play a consistent host read ad at the beginning of their episodes. It's a simple but powerful way where we collectively can influence a topic. But, as Arielle shares, this is just the beginning, and future causes will be added as the idea expands.

What is the worst hot mic moment you have had in podcasting? Today Mathew opens up about a trend in the industry with the quality of guests and the worst hot mic moment he has had during a live recording. Even though it's just audio, an interview is still a conversation, and the quality matters.  A podcast host knows the work that goes into the podcast each week to produce it, but we often see that guests have never operated a podcast other than showing up.

Have you ever felt that your podcast feels more like a stale bag of chips? I think every podcaster goes through a stage where they get unsure of what comes next, what do I change, or is this still my passion. Talking into a microphone in an empty room or hosting conversations over the internet, keeping the connection alive to your purpose is key to long-term success. What got you here won't always get you there. Realize where you started this journey doesn't have to be where you stay. We are all climbing a mountain, and as we climb, we might get a better view of the horizon and see a different opportunity; it's ok, as they say, it's about the journey, not the destination.

Today's episode is filled with many lessons first-time podcasters or even experienced podcasters experience when going through the process for the first time.

How are you measuring success? It's a big question with no one perfect answer, but it is the big question that podcasters struggle with, especially after they get past the launch phase. So today, on the podcast, Mathew opens up where to look, how to read the data, and what decisions you can make from it.  We measure growth in downloads for most podcasters, but it is a vanity metric that doesn't give us details of where to grow, how to grow, and where we should be making changes.  Topics: Podcast News: https://rephonic.com/tools/podcast-followers?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2022-02-04 (Rephonic) (2:07) Deep Dive: Why are IAB downloads important, How do we measure a show Q and A: Creating trackable links for analytics Thanks for Listening!

Like many others, the podcasting industry has a lot of terms that at first often don't make sense. Dynamic insertion, also called Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI), is a topic that is getting a lot of buzz around the industry. For those looking to level up their knowledge and execution, DAI is a term every podcaster needs to know. However, it is just getting started and will only be growing in popularity.

Are you in a love/hate relationship with your podcast hosting provider? At some point, every podcaster looks at this question to answer if a different platform would help them grow the podcast. I think it's one of the hardest questions next to starting and stopping a podcast. It has many sides to it, it has a lot of reasons, but ultimately how do you decide. This is the focus of our deep dive today and we go into the weeds of the tech, the strategy, and the choices for how you decide whom to switch to.

Finding the right beat, at the right price, and knowing you are getting the right deal is something every new podcaster goes through. It is one of the first significant issues many people launching a podcast have to go through, and its usually in the dark.  Most podcasters are not familiar with the music licensing industry and get an education on it very quickly to make sure they set up the show for success. Today on the podcast, we are talking with the co-founders of Songs For Podcasting who are bringing a flashlight to the process and helping podcasters find the right beat, at the right price, and making sure they are protected. Our conversation goes into the weeds of this issue and what podcasters need to know before picking that first beat. Key Topics: ·     What is Songs For Podcasters and why did it open its doors (0:34) ·     Why is music licensing with podcasting so unique in the industry (1:42) ·     Why is it essential that podcasters don't just pirate mainstream music for a podcast (4:15) ·     What new record labels are getting on board with providing music for podcasting (5:47) ·     Will, we ever see mainstream musicians make music available for use on podcasts (7:03) ·     How can you avoid getting hit with copyright infringement (9:49) ·     What does a podcaster need to know about royalties as a podcast grows (11:40) ·     How do you make sure your media license grows with your podcast (12:44) ·     Is it required to update your old music licenses as your podcast grows (16:00) ·     What do podcasters need to know before they start searching on Songs For Podcasters (18:40) ·     Is it better for the production company to own the copyright or the podcast host (19:57)) Website link: https://songsforpodcasters.com/SFPHomePage (https://songsforpodcasters.com/SFPHomePage) Social Links SyncFloor (Parent company to Songs For Podcasters) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/SyncFloor (https://twitter.com/SyncFloor) ·     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SyncFloor/ (https://www.facebook.com/SyncFloor/) ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/syncfloor/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/syncfloor/) Cestjon McFarland: ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cestjon-mcfarland-027a805/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cestjon-mcfarland-027a805/) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/cestjon (https://twitter.com/cestjon) ·     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cestjon/ (https://www.instagram.com/cestjon/) Kirt Debique ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtdebique/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtdebique/) ·     Twitter: https://twitter.com/katewayo?lang=en (https://twitter.com/katewayo?lang=en) ·     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katewayo/   Thanks for Listening!

Podcast hosts are loved because the trust and relationship they build with their audience through this show. On this episode of Podcast Me Anything, we chat with Rob Walch, Vice President of Podcaster Relations at Libsyn, to discuss the hidden tech that is tracking podcast listeners and why that should be a concern for content creators. In the online marketing world GDPR is something that any company running an online business needs to knows about. And one of the key features of that system is the ability for the end user to opt-in. Because that opportunity doesn't exist within the podcasting space, many companies providing attribution and other tracking services are running afoul of these privacy rules. With Overcast's new privacy tool, users are going to learn quickly what data shows are willing to collect through these tools, and he is concerned about the reckoning that will follow. Listen to today's show and find the limitations for podcasters to enforce GDPR and CCPA rules, and why Rob is concerned for the entire space. And don't forget to read this post which outlines in further detail why https://podcast411.libsyn.com/privacy-does-really-matter-in-podcasting (Rob believes privacy really does matter) for podcast consumers. Key Topics: What are the biggest concerns with privacy in the podcast space (1:01) What solutions are available on the market to provide opt-in tracking (2:17) Does the argument IP addresses are trackable hold water (4:49) What does tracking do for the harm of the industry long term (5:13) What is behind the new Overcast tracking feature (9:30) Will Apple be making any changes to podcasting in the future (14:35) Guest's Podcast Links: The Feed: http://thefeed.libsyn.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podcast-page (http://thefeed.libsyn.com) Today in iOS: http://www.todayinios.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podcast-page (http://www.todayinios.com) Guest's Social Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcast411/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcast411/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast411 (https://twitter.com/podcast411) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast411 (https://www.facebook.com/podcast411) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robwalch (https://www.instagram.com/robwalch) Thanks for Listening!

On Sunday, September, 27th at 7pm EST, you can watch the first ever https://blackpodawards.com/ (Black Podcasting Awards), a celebration of the ownership and creation of content for the Black experience in the world of podcasting. Through a curated list of categories, it aims to elevate Black voices within the podcasting network that may not receive the recognition they deserve. In a marketplace that often overlooks Black podcasters' unique voices and candor, the Black Podcasting Award is here to bridge the gap. The mission is to amplify our own, celebrate those who have paved the way and provide a foundation for the up and coming voices in the Black podcasting arena. https://twitter.com/brokeymcpoverty/status/1228742664910061569 (This tweet by Tracy Clinton) is the force behind the Black Podcasting Awards. The tweet got many comments, retweets, and replies, but no one took the first step to make the dream a reality. Georgia liked the idea, and she took it up and gave the idea life. Come September 27, 2020; we will have the first Black Podcasting Award. In this episode of Podcast Me Anything, we have https://gsdwithgeorgie.com/ (Georgie Anne Getton Mckoy) joining us.

CEO and Co-founder of Supercast.com, Jason Sew Hoy, joins me today on Podcast Me Anything.  Supercast is a beautiful platform for creating paid membership access to your podcast, making monetization simple. Jason got involved in the podcast realm when he was helping build out subscription podcasting for a couple of podcasters. A freemium model where only about 2-7% of your audience pays for more of your content. He then realized most podcasters don't realize they could be sitting on a gold mine.  And so, http://www.supercast.com (Supercast.com) was born.  Jason explains exactly how it works as well as different options members can utilize. He also shares some new cool features for podcasters to help them improve engagement with their listeners. Don't forget to keep an eye out for Supercast's Podcast launching soon.
