Saudações, ouvinte entusiasta do podcast! Está no ar o Curso de Podcast, o seu podcast sobre produção de podcasts apresentado por Leo Lopes! No dia 09 de julho de 2003 o jornalista Christopher Lydon e o programador Dave Winer gravaram o primeiro podcast, utilizando um gravador e um laptop na Universidade de Harvard, mas o termo “podcasting” só seria utilizado quase um ano depois, em fevereiro de 2004, pelo jornalista Ben Hammersley em um artigo chamado “Audible Revolution” no periódico inglês The Guardian. Nesses 20 anos desde a sua criação, o podcast viveu vários altos de baixos, saindo de algo feito majoritariamente por amadores independentes para uma mídia reconhecida mundialmente, produzida e monetizada por grandes marcas, empresas e profissionais de todo tipo, com a estimativa de alcançar a marca de US$ 4 bilhões de faturamento com publicidade em 2024. Para bater um papo sobre o que mudou nesses 20 anos e quais as tendências e perspectivas para o futuro, neste episódio do Curso de Podcast Leo Lopes recebe dois produtores de podcast de gerações diferentes: Gabriel Tuller e Gustavo Guanabara!

Segunda-feira, 17 de julho de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e este é o Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. Os 20 anos da criação do podcast, o anúncio de uma versão grátis do Podpage, o primeiro estúdio móvel de podcasts do Brasil e a biografia em áudio do empresário cearense Edson Queiroz estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta 24ª edição do Castnews! NOTÍCIAS: 1 – Dia 09 de julho de 2023 foi um dia importante para o podcast mundial: nesse mesmo dia, há 20 anos, o jornalista Christopher Lydon e o programador Dave Winer gravaram o primeiro podcast, utilizando um gravador e um laptop na Universidade de Harvard. Mas o termo “podcasting” só seria utilizado quase um ano depois, em fevereiro de 2004, pelo jornalista Ben Hammersley em um artigo chamado “Audible Revolution” no periódico inglês The Guardian. Em celebração aos 20 anos do podcast, o editor do Podnews James Cridland conversou com o pioneiro Christopher Lydon, que fez uma reflexão sobre suas expectativas iniciais e como o podcasting se tornou um fenômeno global. A matéria com os principais pontos desse papo você confere no nosso portal em castnews.com.br . Aqui no Brasil, há alguns anos nós escolhemos o dia 21 de outubro como o Dia do Podcast, já que foi em 21 de outubro de 2004 que o primeiro podcast brasileiro, o Digital Minds do Danilo Medeiros, foi publicado. Logo logo a gente vai celebrar os 19 anos de podcast no Brasil, e ano que vem com certeza teremos muita coisa acontecendo na celebração dos 20 anos do podcast nacional. Ler a notícia completa 02 – A empresa de pesquisa Coleman Insights lançou o Pod Predictor, um serviço que permite testar um podcast antes do seu lançamento. Os criadores de conteúdo enviam pro Pod Predictor o título e a descrição do programa, que são avaliados por mil ouvintes de podcasts nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá. Depois disso, os ouvintes deixam seus feedback sobre o conteúdo e se o material gerou interesse suficiente pra baixarem o episódio. O serviço também fornece dados detalhados sobre faixa etária, gênero, etnia, geolocalização e interesse por categoria. O objetivo é ajudar os podcasters a lapidar sua mensagem antes do lançamento, evitando frustrações e perdas financeiras. O Pod Predictor é um serviço pago que já está disponível para teste. Ler a notícia completa 03 – E olha só que notícia bacana: um casal do Mato Grosso do Sul vai inaugurar esta semana o primeiro estúdio móvel de podcast do país. O jornalista Otávio Neto e a analista de marketing Adriana Maldonado, a “Bugra”, transformaram uma van em um estúdio completo com três espaços de gravação. Com isso, eles esperam levar o estúdio a locais inusitados, incluindo assentamentos, aldeias indígenas e fazendas, e captar informações e histórias variadas através do podcast. O lançamento do estúdio móvel vai acontecer em Campo Grande, com a primeira viagem para Corumbá, capital da cultura sul-mato-grossense. O casal também planeja ministrar mini cursos e palestras em escolas para incentivar novos jornalistas e podcasters. Aqui uma notícia que recentemente a gente publicou sobre um estúdio móvel de podcasts que estava em atividade na Europa, e rapidamente empreendedores brasileiros já adaptaram essa ideia pra nossa realidade também. Ta aí um exemplo de que se você tem uma ideia ou um projeto, deve colocar logo em prática, porque senão alguém vai fazer antes de você. Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 04 – Foi lançado na última semana o Blubrry Podcasting Stats PWA, um novo aplicativo da Blubrry que permite que os podcasters acompanhem as estatísticas de seus programas de qualquer lugar, tanto do desktop quanto dos seus smartphones. O aplicativo fornece acesso contínuo a dados importantes como reproduções, retenção, geolocalização e comparação de episódios. Ele também possui integração de pesquisas com a audiência em tempo real. O app tem certificação IAB, oferece uma compreensão mais profunda do público, e ajuda os podcasters a tomar as melhores decisões baseadas em dados da sua audiência. Ler a notícia completa 05 – E de acordo com dados recentes do Listen Notes, o lançamento de novos podcasts continuou em queda em junho, seguindo a tendência que a gente já tá falando aqui desde maio. A produção de novos podcasts teve uma queda ainda maior em relação ao mês anterior, o que resultou no menor índice de lançamentos dos últimos 12 meses. Essa tendência de menor produção parece se manter em 2023, refletindo o cenário pós-pandemia mundial. Vale lembrar que o Listen Notes é uma plataforma de busca de podcasts que oferece estatísticas com base em seu próprio banco de dados, que abrange milhões de podcasts e episódios em todo o mundo. Ler a notícia completa 06 – No final de junho, o Podcast Addict, um aplicativo de podcasts para Android com mais de 10 milhões de downloads, anunciou que não vai mais ser possível fazer o compartilhamento automático de conteúdo no Twitter. Isso ocorreu devido ao Twitter ter começado a cobrar pelo uso de sua API. Os usuários ainda podem compartilhar podcasts manualmente em qualquer rede social. Alguns podcasters expressaram descontentamento com essa atualização, enquanto outros ficaram surpresos porque nem conheciam o recurso de compartilhamento automático. A empresa revelou que cerca de 15 mil tweets eram enviados diariamente por meio desse recurso que agora foi descontinuado. Alguns usuários atribuíram o fim do recurso ao Elon Musk, atual proprietário do Twitter – e com razão, porque a atualização da API do Twitter prejudicou a integração com muitos serviços. Entre eles, o Podcast Addict. Ler a notícia completa E MAIS: 07 – A plataforma de criação de websites para podcasts Podpage anunciou que a partir de agosto vai lançar um plano gratuito. Essa opção vai permitir que os podcasters interessados criem um site para seu podcast sem custos. A principal diferença em relação aos planos pagos é que não vai ser possível ter um domínio personalizado, o site vai obrigatoriamente ter a URL www.podpage.com e um selo escrito “Feito com Podpage” na parte inferior da página.  Atualmente, a Podpage oferece três planos de assinatura: Basic, Pro e Elite, todos com domínio próprio, design específico para podcasters, importação automática de episódios para o site, designs otimizados para dispositivos móveis e otimização básica de SEO. Ler a notícia completa 08 – E por falar em SEO, é claro que nessa última semana também teve muitas dicas de produção de podcast lá no portal do Castnews. A plataforma de hospedagem RedCircle reuniu algumas orientações sobre como otimizar a audiência do seu podcast fazendo bom uso do SEO, e é claro que a gente traduziu o conteúdo na íntegra. Além disso, lá no site também foi falado sobre três ferramentas gratuitas com inteligência artificial para ajudar os podcasters a criar capas para seus programas.  Não deixe de conferir essas e outras dicas de produção, que podem ser muito úteis na criação de um bom podcast independente. Ler a notícia completa Ler a segunda notícia completa HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 09 – A roteirista, escritora e podcaster Mabê Bonafé anunciou recentemente que o podcast “Caso Bizarro” foi adquirido pela Wondery, estúdio de podcast da Amazon. O podcast mistura true crime com comédia, e é um derivado do podcast Modus Operandi. Com a aquisição, o Caso Bizarro terá dois episódios semanais, com um deles sendo exclusivo na Amazon Music. Além disso, uma vez por mês, o Chico Felitti e o Filipe Bortolotto vão participar do podcast. Os fãs do programa estão animados, e não é para menos. Ler a notícia completa 10 – E você já pensou em transformar algum hobby na sua principal fonte de renda? Claro né, se você é podcaster você já pensou nisso… Porque foi isso que fez o Mike Muncer, apresentador, produtor e editor do podcast “Evolution of Horror”. O projeto começou em 2017 e, em 2019, o Muncer criou uma página pro podcast no Patreon. Atualmente, o Evolution tem 12 mil assinantes no Patreon, e é o que coloca comida na mesa do Mike Muncer atualmente. Ele aconselha os podcasters em ascensão a não terem medo de arriscar, planejar o tempo de forma eficaz e evitar promessas excessivas aos apoiadores. Ler a notícia completa SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 – Na semana passada aconteceu o lançamento oficial do podcast “Edson Queiroz, Uma Biografia”, a versão em áudio do livro com o mesmo nome. A biografia escrita pelo jornalista Lira Neto narra em detalhes a vida de Edson Queiroz, o empresário cearense criador do Grupo Edson Queiroz, da TV Verdes Mares e da Universidade de Fortaleza, entre muitos outros empreendimentos.  São 23 episódios cheios de informação sobre um homem que deixou um legado significativo no setor empresarial e educacional, além de ter sido uma figura importante no desenvolvimento cultural e industrial do Ceará. O podcast foi narrado por mim e produzido pela Rádiofobia Podcast e Multimídia, e já está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de podcast. Ler a notícia completa 12 – O Spotify lançou a nova temporada do podcast Upbeat, focado em temas relacionados à publicidade no áudio digital. Composta por 11 episódios, a nova temporada já está disponível na íntegra lá no Spotify. Diferente da temporada anterior, onde líderes de marketing de grandes marcas foram entrevistados, esta segunda temporada está com mais papos descontraídos com alguns dos maiores nomes da publicidade atual no Brasil. Então se você é da área de publicidade, propaganda ou marketing, dá uma conferida, pega pra você alguns insights, e aproveita pra entender melhor como usar o áudio digital a favor das suas campanhas. Ler a notícia completa RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL: 13 – E na recomendação nacional da semana, a gente tem mais um podcast incrível que tá inscrito na #OPodcastÉDelas2023 . O podcast “Descriarte”, apresentado por Ariel Machado, propõe uma maneira de sentir as artes de forma não-visual, através da audiodescrição. Mas o Descriarte vai muito além de só “descrever imagens”. O programa mergulha no contexto histórico das obras, examina a vida dos artistas e promove debates sobre a sociedade em que a gente vive, com uma abordagem detalhada e muito informativa. Então se você tá em busca de um podcast que combine arte, contexto histórico, debates sociais e acessibilidade, o Descriarte é uma escolha fantástica. Não deixe de conferir o episódio “Olhar de Zanele Muholi”, que foi o episódio inscrito na campanha, e aproveite essa experiência única de imersão por áudio dentro das artes visuais. Ouvir EVENTO 14 – E nesta quarta-feira, dia 19 de julho, tem o Cabíria Festival acontecendo em São Paulo. No evento, vai acontecer a gravação ao vivo de um episódio da Rádio Novelo, seguido por uma sessão de perguntas e respostas, tudo na ESPM, a Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing em São Paulo. Os convidados vão ter a oportunidade de assistir à gravação do programa “Faça Você Mesmo” sobre a descoberta do Cytotec pelas mulheres brasileiras, seguido pela gravação do episódio “Estranhas no Ninho”, que conta a história de duas mulheres no mundo do crime. As inscrições pro evento ainda estão acontecendo, mas corre porque isso pode mudar a qualquer momento, já que o evento está sujeito a lotação.

Det er en unik måte å fortelle en historie, til underholdning og til å lære. For eksempel har podkaster vært veldig nyttige for språklæring ettersom det er mye mer materiale tilgjengelig for nybegynnere og viderekommende helt gratis, som for eksempel denne podkasten her. Podkast er et veldig nytt medium, kanskje det nyeste vi har. Det begynte tidlig på 2000-tallet da distribusjon av lydinnhold på internett var mulig. Altså, å produsere podkaster var avhengig av utviklingen av internett ettersom det er slik podkaster blir lasta ned og spres. Podkaster begynte med at journalisten Christopher Lydon og programutvikleren Dave Winer spilte inn og publiserte lydintervjuer på nettet i 2000. Dette formatet førte etter hvert til opprettelsen av det som nå er kjent som den første podkasten, "Radio Open Source". Dave Winer utvikla RSS eller «Really Simple Syndication», en teknologi som blir brukt til å publisere podkastepisoder. Men uttrykket "podkast" oppsto først i 2004 da journalisten Ben Hammersley kombinerte ordene "iPod" fra Apple og "broadcast" (sending). Navnet ble populært og blei brukt av flere og flere. Navnet podkast gjorde også at vi begynte å tenke på podkast og bærbare enheter sammen. Dette skulle bli viktig da de første smarttelefonene ble tilgjengelige. Da var det mulig å ta med seg podkastene sine overalt man gikk.

We've spoken about how ChatGPT can RUIN your integrity; well, it is stating that it is only going to get A LOT worse. This reminds me of the band Queen who made sure everyone who listened knew that what you were hearing was from a guitar, a piano, bass, drums and vocals. Their guitarist Brian May wanted people to know that the "outside the box" sounds were indeed his guitar. What does this have to do with Podcasting?  A podcast hosting company today put out a blog post explaining how "Podcasting had a discoverability issue in the 90's..." I bet it did as podcasting didn't really exist until 2004 (the technology existed around 2000 when Dave Winer and Adam Curry merged RSS and an enclosure tag). So do I believe anything from this host? Not anymore. They hired a robot.  I'm Not Anti ChatGPT I've used ChaptGPT to "brainstorm" a little or create a summary of an episode. For me (someone who doesn't have a hard time writing or coming up with content), it takes just as much time to rewrite a ChatGPT penned summary as it would to write it myself.  But chatgpt is going to get better, and I see this as the first drop of water from a giant flood that is going to drown us all in mediocre, long content that doesn't have any real takeaways.  So, in the same way that Queen had a "No Synths" line on their early albums, I may start putting "No AI Was Used During the Making of This Episode."  Why Are My Stat Numbers So Different? When you look at your download numbers from your media host like Libsyn Captivate, Buzzsprout, Blubrry, etc (see free course that compares them), and then look at your number in Podcasts Connect from Apple or Spotify for Podcasters, you will see where your numbers are much lower. Why? When you look at your numbers in your media host, you are seeing the activity from ALL the apps. When you login to Apple's dashboard, you are only seeing activity from the Apple Podcasts app. Likewise, Spotify's numbers will only show Spotify App listens/downloads.  In those portals, you get additional stats like how far people listen, the number of followers, and how far people have listened.  So to get the big picture, use your media host's numbers and to see how far people listen use the different app portals.

Segunda-feira, 20 de fevereiro de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e está no ar o terceiro episódio do Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã mesmo no carnaval, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. Segurança da publicidade em podcasts, a volta do Trade Secrets e o lançamento do podcast original da ex-primeira-dama americana Michelle Obama. Essas e outras notícias você vai ouvir nesta edição semi carnavalesca do Castnews! Notícias 01 – É em clima de carnaval e festa que vamos começar essa edição com boas notícias: com a publicidade nos podcasts estando numa crescente desde 2018, uma pesquisa da Acast feita com a plataforma de dados Walr, mostrou nessa semana que o podcasts é a mídia mais segura para as marcas investirem em publicidade. O estudo fez apontamentos interessantes: 52% dos ouvintes, ou seja, mais da metade deles, afirmou que não se preocupa com a segurança de conteúdos apresentados em podcasts, porque a mídia é bem regulada com os ouvintes e o mercado – o que garante que o conteúdo que eles ouvem seja confiável e seguro. Essa relação de confiança entre apresentadores de podcast e ouvintes acontece de forma natural, já que a responsabilidade recai sobre os podcasters se o produto ou serviço anunciado não for bom. A mídia podcasting também foi a referência número 1 em brand safety, ou seja, a publicidade é quase sempre muito bem alinhada com o gênero e conteúdo dos podcasts. Pra você que produz podcasts e tem objetivo de fechar contratos de publicidade, pode ser uma boa hora para atualizar o seu mídia kit com essa informação. Ler a notícia completa 02 – Ainda dentro da grande discussão dessa semana: os termos “podcast” e “carnaval”, juntos, cresceram mais de 75% nas pesquisas do Google desde a terceira semana de janeiro. O pico da pesquisa foi em 5 de fevereiro, quando o crescimento foi de 82% segundo o Google Trends. Esses números são muito próximos dos dados recolhidos em 2022, quando também no meio de janeiro os podcasts temáticos de carnaval passaram a ser mais procurados, e continuaram sendo uma pesquisa popular até o meio de fevereiro daquele ano. Ler a notícia completa 03 – O podcast ‘E eu com isso?' do Instituto Brasil-Israel recebeu essa semana o autor e diretor Cao Hamburger para um bate-papo sobre o projeto Contar pra Viver, Viver pra contar. Os apresentadores Anita Efraim e João Torquato discutiram com Cao sobre empatia, intolerância, ódio e repressão – assuntos que foram explorados nos filmes dirigidos por Cao Hamburger, que colocaram frente a frente sobreviventes do holocausto com vítimas de outros tipos de opressões de ódio. Os encontros são emocionantes e deixam evidente uma verdade difícil de engolir; ainda existe muito ódio por aí, e por isso é tão importante que a gente continue falando sobre isso.

Lavar louça, tirar o lixo, passar um pano na casa… São nesses momentos que os ouvintes mais prestam atenção nos fones de ouvido ou na caixinha de som. A segunda atividade foi “em deslocamento”, seja indo ou voltando do trabalho, da escola ou da faculdade.

Samsung Free App Issue Causes Spike In Downloads & 7 Other Stories

This week: Samsung Free app issue causes spike in downloads, Transistor joins email spam prevention movement, How streaming TV is bracing for the recession, and Spreaker debuts two new offerings, one of which sounds like a cool robot.  New auto-playing Samsung app spikes downloads. Manuela: Our top story this week, fitting for a holiday weekend, is one of collaboration and teamwork against all odds. Last week Samsung launched the Listen tab on Samsung Free, a media streaming app pre-installed on every Samsung Galaxy smartphone.  When clicked on, the Listen tab would open a full-screen player with a three second timer. If not manually stopped within the three seconds, the app would begin to auto-play segments of featured podcast episodes, with each episode in the queue pre-downloaded for instant play. This auto-downloading and auto-listening lead to podcasters seeing a sudden spike of listens coming from the Dalvik user agent.    Like something out of a heartwarming holiday special, the podcasting community came together on a long weekend to work together and solve the problem. In the Sounds Profitable Partners Slack channels, employees of Audioboom, Triton, Spreaker, and others jumped into threads to discuss how to handle the issue.  James Cridland's Monday edition of the Podnews segment The Tech Stuff details why a download spike from Dalvik isn't necessarily an easy fix. Cridland says: “Some podcast hosting companies have blocked the “Dalvik” useragent entirely. However, blocking Dalvik - even with the Samsung model numbers - will also block, among other things, Google News's audio player, which uses an identical audio useragent. At least one app powered by Podcast Index also uses this generic Dalvik useragent along with PodcastAddict, and Indian podcast app Gaana also retains Dalvik in its useragent.” Luckily, there's a happy ending to this Thanksgiving story. Multiple employees on a holiday weekend managed to get the attention of Samsung, a company only just now entering podcasting, and get the problem fully solved. According to Podnews reporting, Samsung Free content partner Acast has since demonetized any traffic from the Dalvik user agent, and a fix to the app to prevent any future download spikes is set to be published soon.  What could have been a massive headache for many people was quickly resolved fully without any half-measure bandage fixes, all on a holiday weekend, thanks to the cohesiveness of the community. That we can certainly be thankful for.  Transistor joins email spam prevention movement. Shreya: Back on November 3rd we covered Buzzsprout's announcement that they were removing email addressed from podcast RSS feeds. Presented as the company ‘fighting back against email spam,' Buzzsprout only inserts a podcaster's email address into the feed on request to verify the feed with other services and platforms.   On August 22nd Apple Podcasts announced updates to RSS feed requirements in 2023, including the end of support for the ‘owner' tag. “The owner tag and its contact information, including email, will no longer be recommended.”  In addition to Buzzsprout embracing the email-free future, Podbean and - most recently -  Transistor have joined the cause. From their blog post this monday:  “Unfortunately, because podcast feeds are public, spammers can scrape these email addresses and use them to send unwanted emails (like pitches for guests to appear on your show).” Meanwhile, yesterday's Podnews published an alternate take on this move to prevent email spam. The Canadian Podcast Awards told Podnews they neither agree with nor support the removal of email addresses from RSS feeds. From yesterday's issue:  “We do not have any plans at the moment to support feeds without contact information.” Email spam has become a growing problem in podcasting. Back in July, James Cridland published the results of an email spam-trap he'd created in the Podnews RSS feed. Over the course of three months his experiment received 240 unsolicited commercial emails.   Similarly to Buzzsprout, Transistor has removed email addresses from the feed by default, but include a tool to manually reveal it for verification purposes. In addition, they now have a verification code entry field designed to work with Apple Podcast's new code-based verification system.  A new verification method that, hopefully, will help ease the concerns of objecting organizations like the Canadian Podcast Awards. How streaming TV is bracing for a recession Manuela: Depending on who you ask, the next recession is either here already or fast approaching. On November 17th Maia Vines, writing for AdAge, published a piece detailing how streaming television is battening down the hatches. From the article: “Brands have already started to re-prioritize where they are placing their ad dollars, said Lisa Herdman, senior VP and executive director of strategic investments at RPA.”  Heather Stewart, General Motors' general director of global media and marketing services presents a contrasting opinion: she expressed concern advertisers might be talking themselves into a recession with reactions to false indicators.  After over a decade of consumers demanding the death of the traditional model of cable television bundling providers together, the a la carte model has begun to slip as multiple platforms come under control of media conglomerates. Currently Paramount, Warner Bros. Discover, and Disney either already group multiple services into one bundle or are planning on offering one in future.  A proposed path to soothe worries during economic downturn is commerce-enabled TV and interactive ads. Netflix VP of advertising sales Peter Laylor told AdAge: “One thing that I think is a great opportunity is maybe a dual-screen experience, and people have experimented there, but the research shows that the vast majority of people have their phone with them when they're consuming TV streaming content.” Even with new tactics and status-quo breaking experiments like bringing one-click-buy options to streaming TV in US markets, there's a consistent throughline to how streamers are prepping for a recession: they're making things simple for the consumer.  A task podcast advertisers have been refining since the format required listeners to manually copy an MP3 file to an iPod.  Spreaker debuts first-party data audience segments, MAGDA brand safety tech. Shreya: Time for a special Spreaker segment, as the platform has made two large announcements while we were gone on holiday break and it's time to get you up to speed.  Starting on the 17th, they announced a new first-party data for high-impact audience segmentation and targeting solution that is now available for both programmatic and direct sales on the Spreaker network. Martín Haro, Data and Insights Lead at Spreaker says in the press release:  “Now with Spreaker's first-party data audience segments, our solution ingests data through AI and machine learning from real listeners' listening patterns, behaviors, and podcast content, which has enabled us to build specific audience segments that have proven to be 3X more accurate than third-party data.” Then, yesterday, the platform followed up with a brand new tech with a cool name: “Spreaker, the global leader in programmatic ad tech, today announced its first-to-market M.A.G.D.A technology to increase quality in programmatic advertising. This unprecedented technology is set to transform programmatic podcast advertising, adding a layer of control to protect content creators.”  In addition to sounding like a cool robot sidekick from an 80s movie, M.A.G.D.A bridges a gap in brand safety and suitability. Advertisers are well-covered on their end, now Spreaker can provide an extra layer of protection from the publisher side.  Blocking IAB categories to avoid certain kinds of advertisements works pretty well, at least until a campaign is mis-categorized. Spreaker has now solved for that. From the press release:  “M.A.G.D.A technology works by transcribing programmatic ads that go through the Spreaker ad marketplace in real-time. Spreaker has created machine-learning models to auto-categorize ads. In addition, the technology can also detect miscategorized ads. For example, if a political ad is miscategorized as fast food M.A.G.D.A will flag this for rectification.”  What does the M-A-G-D-A stand for? The name serves a dual purpose. First, it stands for Machine Augmented Guard for Dynamic Advertising. Spreaker explains:  “However, Magda is also a member of the Spreaker team. She was the first person to work on ad quality control for the company, and today Spreaker has an entire division dedicated to ad quality spearheaded by Magda herself—the company felt it fitting to name the technology after her.”  In addition to having a touching name dedication, M.A.G.D.A is a fascinating piece of tech that provides a much-needed bit of security in an industry very much concerned about brand safety and suitability.  Quick Hits Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits. These are articles that didn't quite make the cut for today's episode, but are still worth including in your weekend reading. This week:  Can We Stop It With The Brand Safety Double Standard Already? By Allison Schiff for AdExchanger. An opinion piece that addresses a proposed double-standard advertisers have with brand safety concerns. Schiff points out the same brands skittish about serving ads on journalistic content featuring negative stories are prominently featured in between bouts of serial killer-crafted gore on her nightly watch-through of Criminal Minds on Hulu.  Google and iHeartMedia allegedly paid radio talent to promote the Pixel 4—without ever giving them the phone, according to the FTC, by Ryan Barwick for MarketingBrew. Barwick covers the details of a recently-settled case in which the FTC alleges iHeartMedia gave on-air talent scripts for testimonies about how much they loved using a Google Pixel phone they had never actually used.   The Cumulus Media & Signal Hill Insights Podcast Download Fall 2022 report is now available. This year features special focus on the growing prevalence of podcasts with video elements. This includes a finding that 28% of consumers prefer actively watching a podcast with a video component.  The Last Yard - the blog post that started it all, by Adam Curry, published to Podnews. Thought lost for years, a copy of Adam Curry's 2001 blog The Last Yard has been discovered on the Wayback Machine and duplicated by Podnews with permission. A piece of industry history, Curry's post lead to a meeting with Dave Winer that lead to the creation of podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The panel discusses Dave Jones's work with the podcast index, a searchable database of podcast episodes. They also discuss his experience as a podcaster, and how he got involved in the industry.HighlightsAdam Curry and Dave Winer met 12 years ago while working on a project called the AECT for poets. They later spun out of that project to create the Freedom controller, which became the basis for Adam's no agenda show. The podcast index is the first product that they launched together.

La gente acabará “leyendo con los ojos cerrados”. Todos portarán un diminuto reproductor de audio que será indispensable para respirar. Sus libros, periódicos y revistas estarán guardados. Y las madres ya no tendrán que quedarse roncas los días de lluvia, leyendo cuentos a los niños para mantenerlos lejos de las malas compañías. Bueno eso pensaba el escritor norteamericano Edward Bellamy, famoso por su novela utópica. Más de 120 años después, cualquier dueño de los 5 mil 190 millones teléfonos inteligentes que hay en el mundo —en una población de más de 7 mil 594 millones— sabrá que la realidad superó a la ficción. Incluso sin saberlo, muchas personas sufren nomofobia, que es el miedo irracional a salir de casa sin su móvil. De estos datos, en México hay más de nueve millones de usuarios de podcast, seres humanos que les fascina leer con los ojos cerrados. ¿Qué es un podcast? Es la creación de archivos de sonido y video (mp3, videocasts o vodcasts) y su distribución a través de RSS que permite suscribirse y usar un programa que se descarga de Internet, y se puede escuchar en cualquier momento. Este término surge de las palabras iPod y broadcast. De acuerdo con la tesis de Georgina Cortés: “El podcast como un espacio de comunicación en la red” (FCPyS-UNAM), la fecha de origen del podcasting es el 13 de agosto de 2004 cuando Adam Curry aprovechó una especificación del formato RSS, de Dave Winer, para incluir archivos adjuntos. El primer podcast fue Trade Secrets de Adam Curry, un expresentador de videos del canal musical MTV.

Hablando de Tecnología con Orlando Mergal | Podcast En Español | Discusión inteligente sobre computadoras, Internet, telé

Gabriela Ortiz En Puerto Rico el podcasting es uno de los renglones de los “nuevos medios” que más rezago sufre. Algunos arguyen que se debe a la condición colonial de la Isla, al poco dominio del inglés o al hecho de que nuestras instituciones educativas no lo han tomado en serio. Lo cierto es que en la Isla hay a penas un puñado de podcasts exitosos y —como arguye nuestra invitada de hoy— los medios tradicionales lo ven meramente como un mecanismo de “redifusión” de contenido. El podcasting surgió en los Estados Unidos, en el año 2004, cuando Adam Curry y Dave Winer crearon tanto el contenido inicial como el alimentador RSS que lo distingue de todos los demás medios de comunicación. Sorprendentemente, en la Isla todavía hay medios tradicionales que no entienden lo que es y lo ven como una mera “antena”. La semana pasada tuve en el programa a Enrique Vargas, creador del Observatorio del Podcast de Puerto Rico, una página de Internet donde se enumeran, catalogan y organizan los podcast de origen puertorriqueño. Vargas me contó sobre los escollos que ha tenido que sobrellevar para recopilar la información y la manera en que Puerto Rico es apenas una “grieta” en la “podcasfera” mundial. Para efectos de records, la Isla no es una país y tampoco figura como un estado de los Estados Unidos. Nuestros datos sencillamente se esfuman dentro del mar de podcasts de los Estados Unidos. Enrique me habló de Gabriela Ortiz, una joven puertorriqueña que está haciendo su doctorado en la Universidad de Navarra, en Pamplona, España. ¿Y por qué esta joven es importante? Pues porque la especialidad doctoral de Gabriela va a ser en “podcasting”. A diferencia de Puerto Rico, donde —según Enrique— le dedican unos minutos dentro de una clase de radio al tema del podcasting, en España —y en los Estados Unidos— hay gente especializándose en podcasting a nivel de doctorado. Y por eso mi interés en conversar con Gabriela. Aquellos de ustedes que lleven algún tiempo escuchando Hablando de Tecnología recordarán que en el episodio 156, del 18 de mayo del 2015, traje al programa a la doctora María Blanco, una joven oriunda de Ávila que en esa época estaba completando su doctorado en la Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca. Pero esta vez se trata de alguien de aquí, como el coquí. /*   Conversé con Gabriela por espacio de dos horas y exploramos el podcasting desde múltiples ángulos. Así que, si entre tu planes está desarrollar un podcast o ya lo comenzaste y te gustaría conocer más sobre este medio emergente, este es un episodio que debes escuchar hasta el final.

Adam Curry was one of the VJs (video jockeys) of MTV back in the 1980s. In this position, he “interviewed” some of the most popular musicians of the time including Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. Adam is an early tech adopter and pioneer because he embraced the web and podcasting long before other people. He helped make podcasting “a thing” by collaborating with Dave Winer on podcasting technology, and he created one of the first podcasts, the Daily Source Code. In 2005 Steve Jobs previewed Apple's podcasting efforts by playing the Daily Source Code on stage at D, the most exclusive tech conference. It is a huge deal when Steve used a product like this. Adam also started companies along the way that offered services such as web design, video-sharing, incubation, and podcasting. He currently co-hosts the No Agenda podcast with John Dvorak.

“In the early days, it really was this group of geeks and hardcore people that wanted to create media and hardcore audiences that wanted to listen to it.”How do you go from a career in the military to one in podcasting? Just ask Todd Cochrane, the founder and CEO of Blubrry, a podcast hosting company.“Life has these right and left-hand turns and I had a right-hand turn in June of 2004,” Todd told us.That right-hand turn put Todd among the pioneers of a new medium being raised by rebels.While recovering from an injury that changed the course of his career in the US Navy, Todd discovered the work of Dave Winer and Adam Curry and this thing they were talking about called “podcasting”. Todd was sucked in and before he knew it, he was at the nearest Walmart purchasing his first microphone.Podcasting since 2004 with his tech show Geek News Central, Todd Cochrane also established the first podcast advertising deal and wrote the first book on podcasting. He also founded the Podcast Awards and is a member of the Podcast Hall of Fame.“The industry was exciting, it was basically pioneer days, we were making stuff up as we go, we didn't really know what we were doing, but things progressed very, very quickly,” said Todd.In this special episode of MetaPod, we talk to Todd about the early players of podcasting and what it was like to work with the techies, geeks and hardcore audiences of the medium. We also discuss how podcasting has evolved to this day, including investment, leadership, its increasingly diverse field of creators and the entry of big media platforms in the space.Todd also tells us what the most important thing is for new podcasters to understand about the medium and why the first two episodes of Geek News Central no longer exist.

The idea of allowing anyone to broadcast over the internet in an unfiltered and uncensored manner was revolutionary. For nearly two decades, podcasting has grown into an industry, which Business Insider predicts will be worth $1billion by 2021.  With the meteoric rise in podcasting, some podcasts are attracting more followers than mainstream TV shows, for example, Joe Rogan regularly receives more than 10 million listeners per show.  Advertisers wanting exposure to these audiences is the most common way to monetise podcasting. Adam Curry wants to move away from revenue driven by advertising which he believes is a form of censorship.

I'm excited to release this interview with Jason Calacanis during the launch of his new book, Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups-Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000. I've been a super fan of Jason since coming across his show This week in Startups when he produced it on set with black curtain backdrops and large wooden dining room tables. A lot of people give GaryVee credit for the foresight of thinking like a media company — but Jason got to it first. Behind the bravado is a kid from Brooklyn that worked his tail off to get to where he's at, challenged with lessons of success & failure weaved into the fabric of his story. Today, Jason leads Inside.com with the same burning passion to take on the big platforms as he did with his first startup, Silicon Alley Reporter.  Sit back and enjoy this episode with Jason, as he walks us through the mind of an angel investor and how to start thinking scale in your small software business.

Welcome back to the Matt Report season five. We're winding down season five. In fact, folks who were listening, now you should have heard the last episode of season five. But I get a bonus episode with one of my favorite people on the internet, Jason Calacanis. Jason, welcome to the program. Jason C.: Hey, thanks for having me. Matt: Creator of Weblogs, Inc sold to AOL. Early investors in Uber, Thumbtack, created a company called Mahalo and fought Google at every turn and corner. Created another company that I originally found you through is This Week In, the sort of all the YouTube stuff and live video stuff you were doing. Now you're running Inside.com, news and entertainment delivered via email. I am a huge fan of that as well. You run LAUNCH Incubator and events, and now you've written the book, the book of angels as it were. It's angels- Jason C.: Yes, of angels. I like that. Matt: Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups—Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor Who Turned 100 grand into 100 million buckaroos. Jason, welcome to the program again. Did I miss anything? Jason C.: It's- Matt: I probably did. Jason C.: Probably. Well yeah, it's one of the great things about history is like people only remember the victories if you have them. Then they forget all the losses. But you brought up Mahalo, so that was great, my PTSD started triggering. Mahalo, we basically pivoted into Inside.com, so the story ended up well. But we're working like dogs, get a return for those Mahalo investors. I never give up. It's one of my either charming or stupid qualities depending on the situation that I never give up. Matt: Obviously, want to talk about the book. For me, I'm not a super heavy book reader. I got it, I got an early copy. I did a little Jason Calacanis of my own, I just contacted your publishers. I sort of worked my way in through the backdoor and I said, “Hey, I'd love to talk to this guy.” Jason C.: Hustle. Matt: I definitely want to talk about the book, but real quick. This Week In network, I mean god, you had This Week In Web Design, of course This Week In Startups. You had I think This Week In Movies as well. Do you think that you were just so early, like the technology wasn't there? Jason C.: Yeah, for sure. What we did was we tried to do a network of shows seven years ago. It was a little experiment. Me and a couple of my friends put 100k in each. We got to the point where it was making some money and there were two breakout shows, Kevin Pollak's Chat Show and This Week In Startups. All the other shows, we were trying to groom talent. We had people like Mark Suster doing This Week In Venture Capital. Then we had other people doing This Week In Movies. We did a Mad Men recap show long before things like Talking Dead. We kinda pioneered that space of doing a show right after. We had a lot of, I would say, early signs of success. Maybe we should've stuck with it. But I came to this great realization, which was the more important, the more powerful, the more networks, the more credible the hosts, like Kevin Pollak, Mark Suster, myself, the greater the chance of success. If it was an emerging host, it probably had very little chance of success. We were able to get an unlimited supply of emerging talent to host a podcast. But none of them were breaking out. It probably would've taken us three or four years of trying to get them to break out. We had somebody named Dave Pensado doing Pensado's Place and he was awesome too. But all those people had in common that they didn't really need us because it's so easy to create a podcast that if you're a rich powerful person, or not even rich. If you just have 500 to let's say $2,000 to produce an episode, you can just do it yourself and not have a boss, not be part of a network. We kept having people who would just call in rich, like Mark Suster's like, “Yeah, I can't do it for the next year. I gotta raise a fund. I got things to do.” I just had this realization that all the great podcasters would be independent and I was right. If you look, Leo Laporte stayed independent, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, Adam Carolla. All these people have become independent, let's call it $1 million to $10 million enterprises. I think probably Leo and Joe Rogan are above 5 million. They have this like, call it $2 to $5 million space like This Week In Startups, and maybe Sam Harris, and maybe Adam Carolla. In other words, it's enough money for those people to love doing it and not to need to have anybody as their boss. So all those people who are trying to making podcasting networks have had a hard go of it. Even Leo, who's got a lot of great shows, but he's had a hard time keeping talent on the network because they go have a life event. They get married. They go have kids and want to do something else. It's just hard to be a manager of talent like that. I mean Sirius XM is doing a good job of it, but they have this like huge bankroll. So I think podcasting is this very unique space because you don't need somebody. If you go down that list, all these like podcasting companies, they don't really … Malcolm Gladwell doesn't need the podcasting company in other words. He can just do it himself. If he does it with a podcasting company, it's probably because they're overpaying him. Matt: These shows, these either networks or these individual shows that somebody's running, they become massive platforms and catalysts to sell all their either goods and services or maybe even in your world, you get the advertising, you do a million bucks a year. You pay your staff, whatever. But it's also it connects you with so many people at the same time. It makes you become the [crosstalk 00:05:39]- Jason C.: My view on podcasting when I heard about it from Dave Winer and the pod father, Adam Curry when they were teaching me about it. I was like okay, I'm just gonna record two conversations from lunches I had in a week, and then all of a sudden it turned into we're about to hit 800 episodes for This Week in Startups. It just turned out to be a networking thing for me. Then all of a sudden, it started making money and getting 150,000 downloads in episodes. So it's a pretty big audience now and it's a great way for me to find founders to invest in. Matt: If people are listening to that and they're like, “All right, that's it. I'm gonna go start my podcast.” Folks, it's still a slog. It's still some hard work. It doesn't come that easy. I know. I'm only at maybe 300 episodes and man, some days it can be super draining to keep this stuff going. Let's just talk about the book. The structure of this book, for a dullard like myself who doesn't like to read, it is … I mean you say in sort of the winding chapters that this is the playbook. This is your decade plus of experiences sort of all put into this one book. I love the framework was I mean was that your idea? Or when you get to a publisher, they say, “Look, that's a complicated topic. We need to sort of piecemeal this for people reading it.” It's not all this hoopla and sort of Zen like stuff. This is the real deal. Jason C.: Yeah. The pitch was interesting. I've had a very famous book agent for a decade. His name is John Brockman. He does something called Edge.org and he's got Daniel Dennett, Jared Diamond, Sam Harris, had Marvin Minsky, just all the greatest authors that are out there, and Brian Greene, and then me. I would always get these like Blogging for Dummies, Podcasting for Dummies. Search engines, SEO for Dummies. They just wanted me to be the dummy author and it was always like chintzy. It was a couple of stories about my angel investing. People started to realize, “Oh, he's hit a unicorn. Oh, he hit a second unicorn. Oh, he hit three unicorns.” When that started to get released, the value of the portfolio started to get released and Wall Street Journal did a story on it, people were pinging my agent saying, “Hey, is he gonna write a book?” I just thought to myself everybody I meet, like the stupider or more inexperienced they are, the greater the chance they've written a book. So like people who have no life experience and nothing to share, they write books in order to become subject matter efforts. I just thought isn't that backwards? Like, shouldn't the books go to the subject matter experts? I just thought what am I a subject matter expert on? Like, I was a good entrepreneur. I'm not like an elite great entrepreneur, like folks I've invested in who have done much better than me. I was a good entrepreneur. But angel investing is something I have a lot of credibility on since I've done 150 investments now and now six of them have become unicorns. Another company today announced that they raised over a billion dollars making medal 3D printers called Desktop Metal, which I was an investor on the first round to fund it. Matt: Nice. Jason C.: I was like this is something I could do. Then I looked at it and I said how do you frame that? I could make something for angels, but really the book is about how wealth is created in the 21st century as opposed to how wealth was created in the 20th century. That's really what I'm going for and if you read the book, you realize it's not just for angel investors. It's for anybody who wants to know how many is gonna be made in the next century. Money and wealth is not created by real estate and being rich dad, poor dad, secret millionaire on the block, art of the deal. You're not gonna become rich through some deal making or real estate in all likelihood. That dream is over. That was a really good model when the white collar boom was happening. You could get a white collar job, marry somebody with a white collar job, bring peanut butter and jelly to lunch, and then just don't go out to dinner, take staycations. Matt: Right. Save, save, save. Jason C.: Save, save, save. Pay down your house. But at that time, when our parents bought their houses, my parents bought their brownstone in Brooklyn for I think $45,000. My mom was making as a nurse 40,000 and my dad was probably making 30,000 as a bartender. Their house was one less than one times their yearly income. Now if you live in New York, a brownstone's a million dollars, and most people are making, let's say they were, forget about blue collar, just white collar people. They're probably making 100 to 150k each, so let's just call it best case scenario, 300,000 a year. A brownstone in Brooklyn's a million dollars or $2 million depending on where in Brooklyn, so it's five times, seven times the household income. Forget about Manhattan or other places. In San Francisco, it's an even further joke. So the idea that you would have these two white collar people suffer and then hit this amazing real estate thing, then buy a second home, or leverage it into a second home, is kinda laughable. Also, people are graduating with what? At the same time, people's debt is growing, so there's educational debt. People coming out of school with 50, 150k each, so they have household debt of 150,000. Then what happens? Boom, you had  the $150,000 in debt, you're not paying for your mortgage until you're 35. In this book, I explain hey, if you can get on cap tables of high growth companies, specifically in Silicon Valley, because the hit rate there is so much better and the numbers are just, add a zero or two from any other market in terms of the scale of those companies, you could really hit a home run and move from poor to rich, from middle class to rich, from rich to ultra rich. That's really what I was trying to do there. My hope is that if 100,000 people buy the book, and 5 or 10% of them start angel investing, maybe 1,000 of them have this incredible, or 100 of them have this incredible result. If the other ones just are plus or minus 50% of their money, that's a fine outcome too. Angel investing is something that's becoming something that a lot more people can do. Matt: Yeah and I want to talk about that, but I also looked at this book of course for the folks who are listening, the WordPress product companies, hosting companies, people who are doing upwards of maybe a million bucks a year selling WordPress plugins. This is a great book to reverse engineer these frameworks, right? Jason C.: Of course. Matt: How does Jason go to look for founders? Now these founders out there I mean pick up the book just because now you can reverse engineer that and it structures so damn well that you just zero in right on the part where Jason's negotiating or setting up the interviews. I mean it's an amazing tool. Jason C.: Exactly correct. That is a very astute point. There's actually a cheaper in there for founders where I just say like, “If you're a founder and you bought this book to game the system, congratulations. You're smart. You smart mother effers, like I salute you. Then here's what you need to know about what angels are going through and how they make their decisions because they are human beings too who are trying to figure this out.” You're not trying to game them. What you want is to really be in sync. For the people making a million dollars a year, like basically either become angel investors or they could actually read the book and understand hey, this is what venture capitalists and angel investors are looking to do. How do you accelerate a million dollar, that wedge strategy of doing templates, and being a single person who makes a million dollars a year, and one person with a couple freelances makes a million? How do you add a zero to that revenue or two zeros? I think if you read the book, you'll have an idea of how things like that can scale. Matt: A little bit on that point, so a lot of folks who do do this, who are doing the WordPress thing, and they're selling some digital products, a lot of them are developers. They started coding in the basement. They upgraded to coding in the garage. Now they're in a coworking space, coding at the coworking space. They're not sort of the marketing type or the entrepreneurial type in the sense of I want to scale this thing. But what can be said about at least talking to maybe an angel investor? I mean are there some benefits to taking … a lot of these folks are just sort of gun-shy for taking money. Are there some benefits to it that you could sort of peg off for people who might be afraid? Jason C.: Yeah. If you have a cash producing business, let's say it's profitable in throwing off a $250,000 a year salary for you. That's pretty amazing. Consider yourself lucky. You can work from home. You control your schedule. You start bringing investors in, they are gonna be looking, an angel investor is gonna be looking typically for a 5 to 10x return. Not this angel investor. I'm looking for people who can do a 100 for 500. But really, 50 to 100 is probably what professional angels are hoping that some of their companies do. A regular angel might be looking for 5 or 10 times their money in seven years. Venture capitalists are trying to invest millions of dollars and maybe do 10x as well with an outside chance of 100 or 200x. So you know that about them and you are kinda lighting a fuse or hitting a starter pistol when you do take that money. So it's a very astute observation. Your life is gonna change. You're gonna have to send updates to them. They're gonna have questions. They're gonna give you money, but they're also, hopefully if they're connected, gonna give you credibility, and resources, and help you strategize about how to add that zero to your revenue. So that everybody involved, all stakeholders, your customers, your partners, your employees, yourself as the founder and the investors, win. That's what the cap table is all about, the capitalization table. So you have to create a cap table, sell them some shares, give your employees some shares and say, “Hey, we're all gonna go on this journey. The company has a million in revenue. We value out of 5 million. There's 5 million shares in the company. They're all worth a dollar. The investor just put in a half million dollars. They bought 10% of the company. They gave us 500,000. Let's deploy that $500,000 intelligently. We'll hire five sales people and give them $50,000 plus commission and hire two more developers. Now we got seven people cranking.” What the people who are your grinders and your audience, the people who know how to grind out and make a real business that people find value from, they typically have the great product sense and the great customer sense. But they don't have the scale sense, right? Or they don't have it yet. Matt: Right. Jason C.: What they have to do is study what they've learned, study their customers and say, “Hey, maybe the top 5% of our customers or top 10% have a need that we've learned about, that we can double or triple down.” If they looked at it and said, “You know what? We have these three customers out of 1,000 who are financial companies, and they keep asking for this set of features. Let's tell them that we're building that product and let's get them to pay $25,000 a month for that product.” That's what kinda pulling the string as an entrepreneur and learning about a market, that's what I respect about those grinders, the people who get to a million dollars in revenue. I just did my first cannabis investment. I wasn't expecting to do one until maybe California was legal and maybe two years from now when things were a little more sorted. But I found a company that's making a million dollars from advertising, and doing cannabis tourism, and doing cannabis magazines, and cannabis festivals. I was like okay, that's a good starting point. If they know how to make a million dollars from just traditional advertising, and events, and stuff like that, maybe they'll figure out some bigger business, and they have a bigger business in mind. So I love those scrappy entrepreneurs. Matt: Yeah. I see that come up a lot. Like, I see a lot of people who are scrappy, doing a million bucks a year, but then they see these ideas get funded for multi millions of dollars and they haven't made a nickel yet. Meanwhile, these people are making hand over fist, hundreds of thousand dollars in cash every single month. I mean is that attractive when a company's making money or does that signal like this is only as big as you're gonna get? Jason C.: Yeah. Matt: Like, we should maybe not invest in that. Jason C.: An amazing question. For some people, it is a signal, a negative signal. Like, these people think small. But for people who are in the know, like savvy people, they're gonna look at it and go, “That person built what we call a dude business, or a dudette business, which is dude makes a million dollars a year. Dude makes half a million dollars a year.” Those people are so smart. I have a friend, Phil Kaplan, who created a company called DistroKid, and previous he did Effed Company and a couple of other startups. He's really brilliant and he makes these companies like just himself and a bunch of freelancers, and they get to millions of dollars in revenue. If you can be lean like that, you're gonna learn stuff, and then there's a time to figure out, “Okay, I built MailChimp, or SurveyMonkey, or examples of companies built off revenue that all of a sudden started to scale.” In SurveyMonkey's case, they took investment and then I believe in MailChimp's case, they had 400 million in revenue, and they had never taken anybody's money. So both things can work. If you want to work with a group of elite investors, when you come with that million dollars, and explain your vision, and say, “Listen, we made a million dollars. It was quite nice. We can grow this business 20% a year for the next 10 years and we'll make $10 million.” That's awesome. “We want to build a billion dollar company. Here's the billion dollar opportunity and here's why we need $1.5 million for 15% of the company. We're gonna build it from here to hit these goals.” That seems pretty credible to me. If it hasn't grown for five years and it's just slowly growing, and you say, “We're gonna make this accelerate,” you have to have a good story. So is it, “Why hasn't it grown faster?” It might be that you just never had outbound sales. You add an outbound sales team and everything changes. So they would want you to test that theory and probably give you 500k to test it. Matt: Got it. Jason C.: But most people don't take enough risks. Out of that group of people who are making that million dollars a year, half million dollars a year, what they don't realize is they're so concerned to protect the nest egg, and their upper middle class lifestyle, or let's say affluent life style. Maybe not rich, they could stop working, but they kinda have a nice place in life. They don't want to risk it, which I understand. But what you have to realize is if you don't risk it now, there's no chance of outside success. If you go for an outside success and it fails, and you've built a million dollar business before, you're gonna be able to build another million dollar one. It's kinda like there's this kid who climbs Yosemite and other mountains without a rope, Alex Honnold, or whatever his name is. It's just like you watch these videos and you're like, “My god, please don't do that.” I don't recommend people climb mountains without ropes, but if you're climbing the startup mountain and you fall, it gives you more credibility, and you just get to start over at the bottom of the mountain again. You don't die. People have this idea that's if you fail in your startup, you're dead. No, you're more credible, you've learned something, and you get to play. You put another quarter in the machine, you get to play the video game again. Matt: Yeah, absolutely. I mean that's obviously well said. I want to circle- Jason C.: Take more risk is my advice. Matt: Yeah and on that note, you mentioned something earlier about sort of they understand the scrappiness of creating the product, understanding the customer, and the love of building a business, right? That's why they did it. But they don't understand the scale factor. Is that what you would argue a good angel would come in and say, no pun intended I guess, but come in and say, “Hey look, we're gonna bless you with a … maybe point you in the right direction for an advisor, or building an advisory council,” or something like that? Does a good angel do that for their entrepreneurs or do you try to stay hands off and not really push them in a particular direction? Jason C.: It depends on what the founder wants. If the founder wants me involved, I get involved. If the founder doesn't need my help, I get less involved. I like to get a monthly update from the founder because it creates discipline with them to write the update. It takes them an hour to write the update, share the key metrics of the business, talk about the challenges, talk about the wins, talk about the losses, and how we might be able to help. If you have that discipline where you have your metrics dialed in and you write that update, and you send it to 10 investors, and say your management team, you can have like a really open dialogue. The companies that do that go a lot further because they maybe create a plan. If you have a plan to be successful and you execute the plan, you will be more successful. You might not succeed, but you will definitely be more successful. People who decide, “I'm gonna create a two year plan to grow my business from 1 million in year one to 3 million. In a year or two, I'm gonna go from 3 million to 9.” If they don't succeed at the plan and they hit 2 in 6, they will probably be further along than people without a plan. I'm a big fan of planning, and having people involved, and talking about the strategy, and paying attention to the data and the metrics. The great companies do that. Matt: I think you mentioned on a recent episode of your show that the folks who are shy or shy-ish of saying, “No, I'm gonna not give you that weekly or monthly update,” as sort of an indication to you that they're not taking their job seriously, or they might not be taking your relationship with handing them some cash seriously in that regard. Jason C.: Yeah, for sure. We definitely like to find people who are just serious about the business and want to do the business right. I think if you're gonna take angels, you need to look at, especially if you're in that zone of 500,000 to a million, a simple email to 10 different angels saying, “I have a business called blank. We make money by doing blank for blank. Here's a revenue chart, quarterly, monthly, week, whatever, and here's a link to our product demo.” Like, literally that's what? Less than five sentences. You all of a sudden get this massive … we click on the links, and we go check it out, and then we're gonna take the meeting. Most people write their life story and what they plan on doing, the talkers, the tourists. What I love about your audience is they're not talkers and tourists. They're people who have actually built real businesses and they just maybe haven't built the business that is designed to be a billion dollar business. But if you can build a million dollar business, truth be told, you can build a $10 million business. Now, if you have built the million dollar business, I don't know that means you can build a $100 million one. But if you build a million, you can definitely get to 10. If you can get to 10, you've got a business that's gonna be worth 5 to 20 times that number and you can build a team around you of investors who can tell you what people you need on your team to hit that next milestone. That's the trick. You're bringing these people in, they're invested, and now you have five people working toward your success who have skills that you don't have. Again, why fear the downside risk when there is none? It's not life or death and people have a life or death approach where they just don't take enough risk. I believe, in my heart, people don't take enough risk. Matt: It's funny you say that because I'm a mentor in an accelerator program out here on the East Coast. A lot of these folks coming in, and it's sort of like a sustainable accelerator, so businesses that are gonna help the local community, drive jobs, that kind of thing. Nothing like in the tech sector, although some come through with the tech sector. So many people starting companies now, they feel like it's life or death, right? Some of them are trying to do it because they're jaded from the Shark Tank shows that are out there. They think like, “All I have to do is get to this, and I'm gonna win a million bucks,” right? They think of it like a game show I guess and it's sort of not the case. But also, look, you can get up the next day. You can start another business, get another job, or something like that, and take another swing at it I guess. Jason C.: It's correct. Shark Tank's an amazing show for inspiring people to get involved. It has put in people's mind that that money in some cases is like the reward, that's the prize, when in fact that's the starter pistol as we talked about earlier. That just means okay, now you've deployed it, and those people want you to return. It's an investment, which means they want a return on capital. So yeah, I think it's been great that so many people are inspired to start companies, but finishing is important. Matt: As an investor, this is the inside baseball question for the direct folks in the audience, we're all using WordPress. It's all opensource. Does that scare you as an investor? Do you not touch opensource? Do you know investors that do and don't that might be some guidance for folks listening? Jason C.: It is amazing. Everybody wants to do opensource based startups. They [inaudible 00:25:55] WordPress.org and I've got the name of the other CMS, but the Boston company that now- Matt: Oh, Acquia, Drupal. Jason C.: Yeah, Drupal. Yeah, so these companies are real and they make a ton of money. I think Android has put to bed anybody's fear that like you can't do an open source thing and also control it, right? Google's done a pretty good job of having their cake and eating it too, haven't they? They have like Android, and they figured out, and there's a- Matt: Tesla's doing opensource I think even with their chargers coming up, right? They want to opensource their charging station so other manufacturers can- Jason C.: Build them. Matt: Build them. Jason C.: Yeah, I think they … What everybody realizes is at a certain point, you pick where you want to make your money and make your company defensible. So for Google, everything is opensource, except for their algorithm and their search engine. You can't figure out, that's a black box, right? But they'll opensource everything else to kill their competitors. Then Facebook is like, “We'll make our hardware platform opensource and we'll have everybody working on grinding the hardware quest down. But we're sure we're not gonna make our ad network, or a social graph, that's not gonna be available. It would be lightly available in the API. If you get any kind of traction on the API that gets people to leave Facebook, we're gonna turn you off.” The API for Facebook says, “The API is not designed to make people leave Facebook.” So if you use the API thinking you're gonna bring people to your platform, the second you get traction, they just say, “You're breaking the terms of service.” Matt: Yep. So let's pivot and talk about your current business, Inside.com. Is playing in somebody else's sandbox, I mean as you learned with Mahalo, as sort of some of us listening now. We've learned that from WordPress.com versus WordPress.org, two different businesses, two different entities. Is your play in email sort of saying, “You know what? To heck with these platforms. I'm just gonna go direct.” Jason C.: It's exactly … you couldn't be more right. After years of being frustrated by … Google was a big partner of ours. I was in their first quarterly report for Weblogs, Inc was the partner that they shared that was making money off of advertising. We were making over $2,000 a day. We were like the first million dollar independent company partner. So they used us as a case study, Weblogs, Inc and Gadget, and they used New York Times. I had this great 10 year relationship. I knew the founders of the company. I knew everybody there. Then they just decided to like go ham on us, and all the other content sites, and destroy us. Then when I called them, like I couldn't get my phone calls returned. I was like, “We're partners.” Then Matt Cutts is like, “We don't have partners and you don't have a penalty against you.” I'm like, “90% of our traffic's gone and here's 1,000 emails with your team talking about how great our partnership is.” They basically lied and you can see them getting dinged. They just got a $2.7 billion fine just on comparison shopping, so they're gonna get dinged for local. They get dinged for all these other things as well. They really use their monopolistic position to hurt the companies in their ecosystem, which I understand. I wouldn't have done it that way. They were loved originally by partners. What they should've done is just given us a licensing fee for our content and said, “Hey, if we put your content on the one box or whatever, we're just gonna give you 10 cents a CPM.” All of a sudden Yelp would've been getting a million dollar a month check and everybody would've been happy. Google would've been making 100 million off of that. There was a way for them to do it, and I think they probably regret it now, and they're probably trying to fix it. Or they're laughing all the way to the bank, it doesn't matter. Matt: I feel like they're doing it again with YouTube content and sort of just- Jason C.: Changing the rules. Matt: Yeah, sucking the life out of ad revenue. Jason C.: Yeah. No, all of a sudden they said, “If you have under 10,000 views, no ads.” If CNN talks about a terrorist attack, they can have advertising. If an independent person who helped build YouTube into what it is, like Philip DeFranco, mentions a terrorist attack, they won't put ads on it. So Philip went crazy on them. He said, “Wait a second. I helped build this platform and now you're changing it?” So Philip's leaving the platform. I saw that coming. I left the platform. Wmail is one of these great things. You can go direct and you can make money directly from consumers, so not even having to rely on advertising. Now we're going and saying to our customers, “Hey, pay for the content. We'll give you some extra content if you pay. If you want free, you get whatever it's gonna be, 20% or 60% of the content for free. Some percentage, 50/50, we're not sure yet, 60/40, will be for the paid people and for people who contributed.” We did it with LAUNCH Ticker, our first email newsletter. Of the 27,000 people, we have over 1,000 paying, so about 4%. If I can replicate that with the 200,000 subscribers on Inside.com's 26 newsletters, we'll have a great business. We'll have 8,000 paid subscribers. We'll be making a million dollars a year. That pays for a lot of journalists and you have 20 journalists working from home for that. I'm really interested in owning a deep direct relationship. Now, if you think about it, Gmail is even trying to- Matt: Oh yeah, that was gonna be my next question. Jason C.: For that, with their tabs and putting you in their thing. But it's so hard for them to do. We are even going to be going … We started experimenting with SMS and owning people's relationship there. I think use any of these other platforms if it gets you customers, but own a direct deep relationship. I can't tell you how many people I know who have apps and have no emails. It's like get the email address of these people and email is the big growth hack for Twitter and for a lot of other sites where they email you, “Here's what you missed.” That was the big hack for a lot of these companies. So if you're not collecting emails everywhere, and providing massive value to those email subscribers, you're doing it wrong. Matt: Yeah and I mean as again folks who are listening now, WordPress itself, being an opensource platform, you can do whatever you want. I mean we have tons of folks in the audience who are building membership sites. People are coming to the site. They're paying either $9 bucks a month, $200 bucks a year, transaction happens right on a WordPress site. They can control the content, put up a paywall, all that fun stuff. What's the product evolution of Inside.com? Do you then spin back to where you were five, six years ago and start creating video content along with this stuff, audio content, along- Jason C.: Yeah, anything's possible. I think the goal is once you have 10,000, 20,000 emails, you start to have this virtuous cycle where the news is coming to you. You can bolt anything onto something with 20,000, 30,000 emails, and that's gonna have some amount of success, so it's a very astute observation. It's very possible Inside AI could have a weekly podcast, and the email would drive the podcast. The email content would drive the topics of the podcast, so it's possible we can layer on podcasting onto email. What I found was every business I looked at kept saying if email's the growth thing, why don't we make email look [inaudible 00:32:41], right? Matt: Right. Jason C.: If everybody's looking and saying, “Hey, email is the thing to get growth,” what if the entire product is centered around email, and engagement, and opening it? So that's really what I'm focused on. I set a goal in the beginning like, “Let's get a certain number of opens.” We hit that. Then I said, “Let's get to 50 newsletters. We're halfway there.” Now I'm saying, “Let's get to 1 or 2% of the people who are free, paying. That just started three or four weeks ago, but it's promised thousands of dollars in monthly reoccurring revenue.” It's a very lightweight business, like many people who are part of your audience, I'm like literally aspiring to hitting that million dollars in revenue and having 20 full time 50k a year journalists working from home. A 50k salary for a journalist working from home, or 40k plus benefits, or something in that range, I mean you can get people with three, four or five years experience. We have this thing in New York and San Francisco where they think journalists need to make 70, 80, 90, $100,000. It turns out if you're living in New Hampshire, or Arizona, or other places, to get a work from home job with benefits for 40 or 50k is a tremendous tremendous opportunity. Matt: Yeah, absolutely. Jason C.: Because you can't get that salary. If you do get that salary, you probably have to drag your ass into an office. Matt: Right, right. I do miss your Inside Drones YouTube series that you were doing at one point. I do miss that. That was good. Jason C.: We'll get back to it. What we found was we weren't getting … it was cart before horse. When we started doing some of those tests, we weren't getting the engagement that we wanted, and then they were trying to figure out how to regrow it. So it's like oh, let's work backwards, you know? Matt: As we sort of wrap up here because I know you're a little crunched on time. How do you live in that happy chaos? Let me just stage that. I was talking to a founder today and in my mentor session, it was like okay, you're selling your product. You're out there, you're pushing it. But then there's like this little cloud above you. That little 20% of ideas, and testings, and little things you want to try sort of just floats up there. You sort of pull things out every now and again, like your Inside Drones, maybe cart before horse. How do you manage that? Because I feel like you do a lot of that. You're always testing things. You're always trying new ideas. You don't shy away from it. Jason C.: No. Matt: Is there a way for you to manage that? Jason C.: Yeah, for sure. Here's how I look at it. I look at startups themselves when I angel invest and I look at my own little tests as satellites, little missions. If you wanted to find life in the universe, I think the way to do it is to send out 100 probes to 100 different planets that could have life on them, and just see if you get a return signal, right? Matt: Right. Jason C.: That's the way to look at these experiments. If you get to a planet that you think is in the Goldilocks zone and shouldn't be inhabitable, and you get there and there's nobody there, great. You can cross that one off the list. As you start crossing them off the list, you're gonna start getting data. So oh, doing the podcast about drones didn't work, but doing a newsletter did. Okay, what's making the newsletter grow? Oh, doing interviews with people who are CEOs of drone companies means they retweet it, and people get value from it, and blah blah blah blah. You start figuring out what works, which experiments are getting you closer to finding life and which ones are not. Sometimes you gotta cross things off the list to know they don't work. That's really what's entrepreneurship is about, is you're just trying to triangulate around a signal. Sometimes it's a weak signal, but the signal starts getting stronger and stronger, and revenue and engagement are the signals. So open rates are the signal. When we started Inside, we have a newsletter called Daily Brief, which is just about the news of the day. We realized hey 40, 50% of people were opening it in the mornings. Then people were telling us the next day that a lot of the news was stale. So I said okay, let's run a test. Take the thousand people on the list and send like 1,000 of the 10,000 people or 20,000 people, whatever it is, a second edition at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with whatever else has happened, like an update. Just tell them it's an update on what was happening in the morning news. Like, four people were like, “I didn't ask for this.” We're like, “We'll unsubscribe you.” Three of them were like, “Don't unsubscribe, I love it.” But they were kind of upset that they were … I just told the whole list, “Listen, we're moving to twice a day. If you don't like it, unsubscribe.” Someone's like, “I only want once a day.” I was like, “We don't provide that.” They're like, “Okay.” They're like, “You can't do that.” There's always like a couple of people in every crowd where the people at a restaurant who are like, “You can't charge for bread,” and the restaurant's like, “We charge for bread.” “Okay, fine.” Or, “A hamburger should come with french fries. How do you charge for french fries?” Then you would say, “Well, not everybody wants french fries, so we charge an extra dollar for french fries. That's just the way we choose to do it. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.” Sometimes people listen too much to their costumers, so you gotta understand the overall impact of the metrics. That just requires having not a discussion about emotions, or feelings, or predictions, or who's in charge, but data and the crafting of experiments. The Lean Startup's a great book by my friend Erick Ries that talks about this lean startup methodology, which everybody listening to this should be familiar with. Matt: Yeah, definitely. Jason C.: But what's the least costly and quickest way to get the signal to understand if this is gonna work or not? That's your goal. How can you cheaply figure it out? The way I cheaply figure it out was let's just put a newsletter out there. Inside had a news app, hundreds of thousands of people downloaded the app. Less than 1% used it a day. When we send emails, 30, 40, 50% of people open each one and we send two a day. So you put that together, we went 50x using an old technology, and now we don't have seven developers working on an app, eight developers working on an app. The whole app team was maybe eight people, very highly paid people. We can redeploy those eight people's salaries, and hire a dozen journalists, and get further. That's no dig to the … It just turned out that news apps didn't work. I mean I was an investor in Circa and a bunch of other news apps I loved, and used, and nobody made a news app that's worked. It just doesn't work. People forget they have it. Matt: Yeah, I remember when you launched that, and I was like oh man, I don't know if I'm gonna be using this app all the time and I installed it. But then when you pivoted to the straight up email, I was like yes, this is … Because this is all I, I swear to god, this is not just because you're on my show and because I'm a super fan. But it's like the only place I read news now. I don't go into Facebook and even dare click on an article. One, because I don't want to get retargeted. Two, I don't want to see all the bullshit comments that people have to say about stuff. I just want to see the news headlines, get the synopsis, and then click on it if I so desire. I think Inside really hits the mark on that. Jason C.: Thank you. Matt: Oh man. One last followup on that. Ad free and just go membership monetization model moving forward or make sure- Jason C.: Probably a combination. In the free ones, we'll have free ones, and you can rock out with a free one, and there's a little bit of advertising in it, and then we'll have the space of users who pays. One of the things we're experimenting with is just letting people turn off the ad. In Launch Ticker, we let the thousand people turn off the ads, and I think 10 of them or 20 of them took the time to do it. So you can turn the ads off technically by just clicking a button in your profile settings, and it turns out nobody does. People like to see the ads if they're targeted, so I think you can have your cake and eat it too. I think you can have a paid Vanity Fair, though with ads. So it's- Matt: That's a pretty cool idea because I guess if somebody clicked on that, you could. The paid for newsletter just simply doesn't come with ads. If you don't want to see ads in your email, just scrolling the headlines, just pay for it. I mean it's super easy, makes sense. Jason C.: I think like there's this group of people, like when Hulu came out with … I had a Hulu subscription for $10 bucks. It had ads. It was making me crazy because Netflix doesn't have ads and I'm paying $10 bucks for that. Then they made a $13 version that had no ads. I upgraded to that. I think there's probably like 20% of people are sensitive enough that they would pay the extra $3, an extra $36 a year. Then most people would not. In this day and age, I don't know you have to choose. I think it would be brilliant for Netflix to have a version where today, this Saturday, Mercedes is making Netflix free, and you can watch Orange is the New Black and all the original shows are free this Saturday, brought to you by Mercedes. You have to watch a Mercedes ad at the beginning and take a survey at the end. Mercedes could just make a Saturday Mercedes day on Netflix. Netflix gets all the people to download and sample the shows. They give them $10 million or $5 million for doing it. Like, just do one day a month where Netflix is free. It'd be great onboarding. Matt: Yeah, no absolutely. Jason, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this. Look, I am finally- Jason C.: Thanks for reading the book. Matt: Yeah, no problem. Jason C.: I appreciate it. I was like oh, you send a book to a lot of people, and they're like, “Yeah,” you know. I'm like, “What did you like about the book?” You actually have like specific moments in the book. You actually read it, so I really appreciate that. Matt: I actually thought you were gonna say, “How did this schmuck get the book?” Jason C.: No, it's- Matt: Listen, I am only a 10 minute flight away from Nantucket, so whenever you want to have a beer the next time you're in town, you let me know. Jason C.: Oh my gosh, so you're on the Cape somewhere or where? Matt: Yeah, I'm at Dartmouth, Mass. So it's just I hop anywhere to New Bedford, hop on the airline, it's about 10, 15 minutes in air. It's beautiful. Jason C.: I love that place. I love that place, yeah. No, no. Be careful. Matt: Where can folks find you on the web to say thanks? Jason C.: Oh, well Twitter. My Twitter handle is Jason, J-A-S-O-N, same with my Instagram. If you went to check out Inside.com, take a look. Angel, the book, is in stores now. If you tweet me your receipt, I will give you a unicorn number and a name. Matt: That is hilarious by the way. Jason C.: It's pretty hilarious. Yeah, like 300 people have done it, so we give them a unicorn name and a unicorn number, so you count up. We're gonna do 1,000 unicorn names for the first thousand people who tweet their receipts. We're 300 in, so that's good. Matt: Go grab the book, folks. Even if you're not considering angel investment, it's an amazing book to reverse engineer, to find those angel investors out there and get that money into your business. Try to scale. Stop being the development in the basement. Or be the developer in the basement if you want, but- Jason C.: Yeah, just add a zero. Matt: Just add a zero. Just add a zero. Jason C.: That's what I always tell my founders, like just add a zero. Then they add the zero, so I said, “Okay, let's add one more and we're done.” Matt: Oh, that's awesome stuff.

Welcome to episode #217 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and the newly minted, Flip The Funnel).
