Podcasts about listenership

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 172 and these are strange times indeed! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN to find out what happened that was incredibly rare on this episode! "Well can you give us a hint" I hear you all asking? The answer is no, because I wasn't there and I also have to listen to find out. And in the words of the great philosopher Bartholomew Scott, "CANT WAIT!!!" Also, we HATE the refs and the review room in Toronto. Or, at least Tom does. Find out why on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 172! Listenership is bound to double this week, since I am tuning in as well.

Gang is together and perhaps this will be the episode that will mean that most of the pod listener abandon the pod. The gang talk American elections from the lens of the Indian liberal twitter reaction to the elections and then of course some other newsein from India.

Is the recent 15% drop in podcast listens a sign of trouble for the industry? Acast points to Apple's iOS 17 update, which disables automatic downloads, as the culprit.

Hello and welcome to the Nonprofit SnapCast. I'm your host, Mickey Desai. No guest today. Just a quick housekeeping episode. I've got a few briefs to share with you and one safety issue to discuss with you before this episode is over. The whole thing should take less than 10 minutes. First, as I'm always looking for cool guests to have on the show, this time I have a few special requests in addition to the excellent folks I always get to interview. I'm looking for people who can share success stories about their nonprofits, people who have management tips to share that have turned into some sort of programmatic or nonprofit excellence. I want to hear your success stories. The second thing is I'm looking for board members or managers who have had to shut down their nonprofits or shut down their programs. If you know of anyone who's had to make these decisions or had to supervise these decisions from a board perspective or from a management perspective, I would value their input on the SnapCast and would even be open to interviewing them anonymously. And the third thing is you're about to get a series of interviews between myself, Dave Paule of Our Fundraising Search, and Kathy Bremer of Boardwalk Consulting. We've done a series about job hunting, specifically job hunting within the nonprofit sector, and we want to do some mock interviews with listeners. So if you know somebody who's looking to make a change for their career within the nonprofit sector, or even someone who's maybe outside of the nonprofit world and wants to become part of the nonprofit world, we would like a handful of folks to do mock interviews with on the show. So please contact me through the website--that's nonprofitsnapcast.org--if you know anybody who'd be interested in playing in that regard. A couple of quick announcements: You may remember a few episodes ago, Dave Paule did an episode with us about Our Fundraising Search's Salary and Satisfaction survey that is still going on. They're still collecting data, and I wanted to remind you to go to ourfundraisingsearch.com. In the middle of the page, you'll find a link to their survey. Please get your colleagues to put in their information. More data means a more thorough report, and we will be discussing those results later this year. So please visit ourfundraisingsearch.com, and do take a minute to participate in the Salary and Satisfaction survey amongst nonprofit sector folks. On October 9th of this year, I'm going to a conference here in Atlanta called the Nonprofit Leadership Conference. It is hosted by Sterling Seacrest Pritchard, Truist, and Boardwalk Consulting. Again, it's the 12th annual Nonprofit Leadership Conference. This theme for this one is Turbulence in the Talent Pool. Keynote presentations will provide thought provoking experience that help build new visions for advancing a diverse multi-generational work environment. And nonprofit executives are definitely invited to attend. I will be recording there, may even do a little bit of live streaming. But that's October 9th. You can find information about this at nonprofit conf.com. You'll find information there about the 2024 event and it'll take place at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Very cool room, very cool grounds. If you have never been, it's very nice place to check out. Come say hi to me if you happen to be there. Real quick, I wanted to discuss something that I think is pretty important as this country moves through times of political turbulence, even though there may be reasons on the horizon to be very excited in a positive way about the country's political future, the divisiveness, the rhetoric that I continue to see amongst peers and my own friends disturbs me. And so I wanted to take a quick minute to discuss what your nonprofit should be aware of if an active shooter event occurs. I know this is controversial. I know the subject matter is very dark, I apologize. I have done gun safety trainings. I have helped volunteer organizations train other volunteer organizations on gun safety issues. And the training is very simple. You basically have to remember three words: run, hide, fight. Of course, we're going to break that down. Run. Run means if you have an active shooter situation happening in your area, get to a point of safety. What this means, of course, is having some awareness of where your points of egress are throughout your facility, and that could be a door, that could be a window. The closest way to get out may not even be the front door. So sit down with your plan and your staff, take a look at what's where and figure out how to get out if you need to get out. If you can't get out, if things are too hot and you're not sure if you can get out safely, the general best practice is to Hide. So when you hide, lock your doors, prop them closed. If you can, silence your cell phones. In this case, I will tell you to turn them off, don't just make them silent, turn them off. Because a buzzing cell phone can still sometimes be heard through walls and doors, and you don't want a loved one to call you in the middle of an active shooter situation just to make sure you're okay and they betray your location to someone who's up to no good. So lock your doors, turn off the lights, silence or turn off your cell phones as well. Lastly, if necessary, and if the situation just really goes sideways, Fight, the word of advice from law enforcement is do not play dead. Playing dead can backfire for all sorts of horrible reasons. So fight, do not play dead. This is my spin on the whole fight piece, and I think the exercise that I'm about to suggest makes for good leadership development amongst nonprofit teams overall. And that is to take your entire team to go get some self-defense training together. Again, great leadership development, great team development. You don't have to earn the entire black belt, but you should have some awareness of how to handle yourself in situations. And a good self-defense training course will also teach you situational awareness, which is something that I think we could all use a little more of just in general, not just in your office, but on the streets, and as you ride public transportation. Situational awareness is something I think a lot of us take for granted. So I know it's dark material, but I hope this information is useful to you. As the Nonprofit SnapCast continues to move on, you can support my efforts with Patreon. Go to Patreon and search for Nonprofit SnapCast. Every little bit helps. And I'm also continuing to search for sponsors. The SnapCast is almost seven years old. Listenership is actually quite significant, and I've articulated a small sponsor proposition on the website. Go to nonprofitsnapcast.org. You'll see a link in navigation there on Becoming a Sponsor. Any help is appreciated. My plan is to take those funds and turn them immediately into marketing activities for the Nonprofit SnapCast. We've come this far, doing this for seven years, using only word of mouth, and it's really quite amazing what we've accomplished in that much time and how many people think the SnapCast is useful. I am humbled by the reception we've gotten, but I would very much like a professional to see what they can do with the SnapCast in terms of getting us to more people in the nonprofit sector overall. So again, thank you for taking the time to listen. Thank you for being part of the SnapCast family. Just a quick recap: I'm looking for guests, people who can share success stories, board members or managers who've had to shut down a nonprofit and people who can do mock interviews with us. And if you can help with the sponsorship effort, I would greatly, greatly appreciate that. In the meantime, I hope you're all having a lot of success in achieving your mission goals, doing the things that you do to make the world a better place. And stay safe out there, you guys. I'll see you with another episode in roughly a few days. Thank you.

Facebook Ads have been the lead-generating go-to for many business owners for a while now. And despite how much things have changed since its inception, too many podcasters still just jump right into the platform expecting a giant result without considering whether their approach is even in congruence with their goals.See, for many podcasters, the audience is the product, and the customer or client is the sponsor who wants to sell advertising to listenership. But if you're an entrepreneur using your podcast to sell a service to right-fit clients, how you approach Facebook (or any other platform) has to be different.In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you'll learn an effective way of growing your audience with Facebook ads and how they affect the impact of your show.

SHOW NOTES:In memory of my dear friend David Thornton, I share this episode with a heart filled with sadness and joy. The essence of my sadness grieves deeply for a fallen EDPat while the essence of my joy beams peace for having created such a beautiful time capsule. At the time we recorded this episode, my intuition made it very clear that it was too early to publish. It was 2020 and there was so much going on for David that I was led to simply file the content and leave it be. When I recently heard of his transition, I decided to search for the episode and listen to it again.It's only now that I feel absolute peace sharing this story that he graciously shared with me years ago.  It manifests today as a type of audio archive to share his humor, his laugh, and his charisma, all of which explain why he was loved by so many.  SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

This week on Wow! That's Not Normal, Chanelle & Jensen talk about one of the most haunted items out there, Robert the freaking Doll man! The two of us discuss our thoughts if items themselves can be haunted and if so, Jensen really wants to haunt his water bottle. We also just want to say thanks to everyone for sharing recently. Listenership has gone way up and we couldn't be more excited to see it! And, we're very excited to be back from our month long break.

Welcome to the grand finale of Season 4. As we wrap up this conversation, exploring relationships abroad. I have a personal story to share with you, a story that weaves together the threads of my identity as a transnational commuter and one that gives detail about the generational expatriation blood flowing through my veins. In Celebration of my grandfather's 85th birthday, I decided to stroll down memory lane to talk with him about his experience overseas. Our conversation reveals the untold story of his relationship in Spain, which was an enchanting tale that perfectly encapsulates the theme of the season relationships abroad. As we bid farewell to Season 4, I invite you to join me on this final episode, a heartfelt tribute to my grandfather and the profound impact of his relationship, formed across borders and essentially resulting in my coming into the world. It's a journey filled with cherished memories and heartfelt connections. Want to continue this conversation? Subscribe to the (A)Broad in Education newsletter. SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

For those of you who've been rocking with (A)Broad in Education for a while, you vividly remember Episode 43, A Romance Scam from Abroad. It was such a pivotal life experience that I shared the story publicly, even in an article with Travel Noire. Part of that experience was connecting with other women about their relationships abroad and I mentioned before that the previous episodes were recorded in 2021. Well, it's been three years post-scam, and two years post-recording, so I decided to reach out to Nichole @thesoulfulexpat for a semi-quick check in to discuss how things have changed about relationships abroad, how they've remained the same, and even evolved. Her idea about showing up for ourselves and learning to become our own relationship gurus is golden and you'll definitely appreciate it listening about it in this conversation.  Connect with Nicole on Instagram: @thesoulfulexpatWant to continue this conversation? Subscribe to the (A)Broad in Education newsletter. SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

Gavin: This is The Download from Sounds Profitable, the most important news from this week and why it matters to people in the business of podcasting. I'm Gavin Gaddis, in for Manuela Bedoya. Shreya: And I'm Shreya Sharma.Gavin: The Download is brought to you by Magellan AI. Track the trends in spend, ad load, podcasts on YouTube, and more with Magellan AI's advertising benchmark report for Q4, available now. You can find a link in the description or visit Magellan dot AI.Shreya: This week: Spotify Stream On Announces New Features, RSS.com and Spreaker make transcripts more accessible, Marketers adapt to serve niche communities, and The Infinite Dial turns 25. Let's get started. Spotify live stream Gavin: Yesterday Spotify hosted their annual Stream On live event from LA. Throughout the 90 minute presentation a series of guest speakers, ranging from Spotify executives to the Jonas Brothers, debuted new features from Spotify and the company's goals in the near future. Let's look at the ones relevant to podcasting:Starting yesterday the Anchor brand has been retired. The hosting service and other podcasting features will be brought under the name Spotify for Podcasters. In addition to the new coat of paint for Anchor, several features originally only available to podcasts hosted on Anchor have been made platform-agnostic. Chief among these features is the ability to upload video podcasts to Spotify, a particular pain point for video podcasters outside the Spotify umbrella. In addition to video uploads, users will have access to net-new features like Q&A posts and polls that will be visible on the podcast's page in Spotify. The Spotify for Podcasters dashboard will also feature more advanced analytics. As one slide of the presentation announced: “Spotify is open for business.” Speaking of business, during the segment focusing on the Spotify Audience Network, Chief Business Officer Alex Norstrom announced the newest publisher to join SPAN is none other than podcasting giant NPR.In the world of monetization, Spotify podcasters are getting a sizeable upgrade in the form of a Patreon partnership. Now podcast listeners will be able to listen to premium content hosted on Patreon from within Spotify itself. With this announcement, Spotify now has a direct answer to Apple's paid podcast subscription service.This year's Stream On was a promising one, with a healthy focus on the podcasting industry overall. This renewed focus on upgrading the platform, adding new features, and making older features more accessible to podcasters everywhere is a promising one. Spotify seems to be interested in growing with podcasting instead of growing independently. We love to see it. RSS.com and Spreaker make transcription freeShreya: To continue the trend of features that benefit everyone in podcasting we have two big transcription announcements. First: this Monday RSS.com announced all podcasts hosted on their platform will now have access to automated transcription. When generated, these transcripts will be posted automatically to the show's episode page on RSS.com, as well as pushed the show's RSS feed. This will allow the transcript to be displayed in podcast listening apps that support Podcasting 2.0 tags. According to this Monday's issue of Podnews, the list of apps that actively support transcripts through this method includes Podverse, Podbean, and Podcast Addict. At launch the automatic transcripts support thirteen languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese and Turkish. In the official press release, RSS.com co-founder Ben Richardson said there were several features the company considered essential to the tool for it to be ready, including multiple languages and ease of use for the podcaster. From the press release: “We encourage all types of podcast player apps to facilitate the use of captions and transcripts our podcasters can provide in order to open up even more of podcasting's potential.” And for the second part of this Monday transcription tale: the folks at Spreaker launched FreePodcastTranscription.com, a free tool available to anyone regardless of affiliation with Spreaker. The website touts a high level of privacy and security due to everything being run locally in the user's browser. From the site's copy: “We don't send the mp3 file to a server. All the processing happens on your device.” Since that processing is kept in-browser instead of farmed out to an expensive server network, the burden of effort and cost is shifted to the user, allowing a lightweight, free option for podcast transcription. Users pick from one of sixty language options, select the file needing transcription, and run the process. After some time, dictated by the power of the computer, a .SRT file is generated for download. The easier it is for podcasters to generate transcripts, the more pressure there will be for podcast apps to fully implement them. Not only does the popularization of transcription make podcasting more accessible to a wider audience, it increases the search engine optimization far beyond what can be written in a given episode title or description. More people can enjoy podcasts, and more people will be able to find them. A win-win scenario. Marketers adapt to serve niche communities as culture fragments. Gavin: This week an eighth-part article series on social fragmentation in the internet era kicked off on Digiday. The first piece, written by Kristina Monllos focuses on the death of the classic “water cooler moment.” From the article: “Today, we not only don't have a watercooler — as the return to the office hasn't been a return to pre-pandemic normal — but we have fewer mass cultural moments where everyone is paying attention to one thing. In recent years, the proliferation of content online has made the experience of the internet more individualized, according to agency execs, allowing people to focus on specific niches that they find interesting rather than tune into whatever they're supposed to like because everyone else says they should.” A natural reaction to this fragmentation is to focus down on appropriate niche groups and meet the individuals at their own individualized online experiences. Unfortunately this also comes with the task of convincing marketers to buy in, as they tend to want to stretch their budgets as wide as possible. Some of this convincing comes in the form of sobering conversations explaining that even the largest brands don't have the money to target every audience at once. Fragmentation has lead to more digital boots-on-the-ground marketing, such as Cristina Lawrence, EVP of consumer and content experience at Razorfish, aiding a CGP company in establishing a viral TikTok account. Primarily by being flexible and producing content quickly, the company could pursue moment-to-moment trends as they developed and meet users where they naturally were going.Much like when Apple Tracking Transparency turned the advertising world on its head, save for podcasting, our industry is uniquely positioned to serve targeted communities. Podcasts, by their very nature, create their own niche groups. If properly maintained and surveyed, a podcast community is the perfect place for niche targeting. Edison Research Publishes 25th Anniversary Edition of The Infinite Dial Shreya: For our final story of the week, why not end on some more good news? A flashy 25th anniversary edition of Edison Research's report The Infinite Dial dropped last Thursday. Here's some highlights from the 73 page document to take you into the weekend: Monthly podcast listening for the total US population 12 and up dipped last year, going from 41% in 2021 to 38% in 2022. Listenership has risen once more, with 2023 numbers sitting at 42% of the population, an estimated 120 million listeners. Weekly podcast listening took a similar dip in 2022, slipping from 28% of the population to 26%. This year it has climbed back up from the slump to 31%, or an estimated 89 million podcast listeners in the US alone. From the observations slide: “Data appears to reflect ‘post-pandemic': on pattern from previous years.” In essence, it appears the number fluctuations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic severely changing daily routines have calmed. Now the industry is back to the familiar, steady growth seen in previous years. 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: Advertisers can use their own first-party data to target podcast ad campaigns, but are they? By Alyssa Meyers. A piece interrogating how podcasting can implement first-party data in ad campaigns, as well as interrogating why certain companies prefer or avoid it. Spoiler alert: first-party, like programmatic and any other tool, has its uses and can work well when used appropriately. Not All Audio is Created Equal: Why Media Buyers Should Avoid Bundling Podcasts with Streaming in Programmatic Transactions by Acast.

Let's get started. Spotify live stream Gavin: Yesterday Spotify hosted their annual Stream On live event from LA. Throughout the 90 minute presentation a series of guest speakers, ranging from Spotify executives to the Jonas Brothers, debuted new features from Spotify and the company's goals in the near future. Let's look at the ones relevant to podcasting:Starting yesterday the Anchor brand has been retired. The hosting service and other podcasting features will be brought under the name Spotify for Podcasters. In addition to the new coat of paint for Anchor, several features originally only available to podcasts hosted on Anchor have been made platform-agnostic. Chief among these features is the ability to upload video podcasts to Spotify, a particular pain point for video podcasters outside the Spotify umbrella. In addition to video uploads, users will have access to net-new features like Q&A posts and polls that will be visible on the podcast's page in Spotify. The Spotify for Podcasters dashboard will also feature more advanced analytics. As one slide of the presentation announced: “Spotify is open for business.” Speaking of business, during the segment focusing on the Spotify Audience Network, Chief Business Officer Alex Norstrom announced the newest publisher to join SPAN is none other than podcasting giant NPR.In the world of monetization, Spotify podcasters are getting a sizeable upgrade in the form of a Patreon partnership. Now podcast listeners will be able to listen to premium content hosted on Patreon from within Spotify itself. With this announcement, Spotify now has a direct answer to Apple's paid podcast subscription service.This year's Stream On was a promising one, with a healthy focus on the podcasting industry overall. This renewed focus on upgrading the platform, adding new features, and making older features more accessible to podcasters everywhere is a promising one. Spotify seems to be interested in growing with podcasting instead of growing independently. We love to see it. RSS.com and Spreaker make transcription freeShreya: To continue the trend of features that benefit everyone in podcasting we have two big transcription announcements. First: this Monday RSS.com announced all podcasts hosted on their platform will now have access to automated transcription. When generated, these transcripts will be posted automatically to the show's episode page on RSS.com, as well as pushed the show's RSS feed. This will allow the transcript to be displayed in podcast listening apps that support Podcasting 2.0 tags. According to this Monday's issue of Podnews, the list of apps that actively support transcripts through this method includes Podverse, Podbean, and Podcast Addict. At launch the automatic transcripts support thirteen languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese and Turkish. In the official press release, RSS.com co-founder Ben Richardson said there were several features the company considered essential to the tool for it to be ready, including multiple languages and ease of use for the podcaster. From the press release: “We encourage all types of podcast player apps to facilitate the use of captions and transcripts our podcasters can provide in order to open up even more of podcasting's potential.” And for the second part of this Monday transcription tale: the folks at Spreaker launched FreePodcastTranscription.com, a free tool available to anyone regardless of affiliation with Spreaker. The website touts a high level of privacy and security due to everything being run locally in the user's browser. From the site's copy: “We don't send the mp3 file to a server. All the processing happens on your device.” Since that processing is kept in-browser instead of farmed out to an expensive server network, the burden of effort and cost is shifted to the user, allowing a lightweight, free option for podcast transcription. Users pick from one of sixty language options, select the file needing transcription, and run the process. After some time, dictated by the power of the computer, a .SRT file is generated for download. The easier it is for podcasters to generate transcripts, the more pressure there will be for podcast apps to fully implement them. Not only does the popularization of transcription make podcasting more accessible to a wider audience, it increases the search engine optimization far beyond what can be written in a given episode title or description. More people can enjoy podcasts, and more people will be able to find them. A win-win scenario. Marketers adapt to serve niche communities as culture fragments. Gavin: This week an eighth-part article series on social fragmentation in the internet era kicked off on Digiday. The first piece, written by Kristina Monllos focuses on the death of the classic “water cooler moment.” From the article: “Today, we not only don't have a watercooler — as the return to the office hasn't been a return to pre-pandemic normal — but we have fewer mass cultural moments where everyone is paying attention to one thing. In recent years, the proliferation of content online has made the experience of the internet more individualized, according to agency execs, allowing people to focus on specific niches that they find interesting rather than tune into whatever they're supposed to like because everyone else says they should.” A natural reaction to this fragmentation is to focus down on appropriate niche groups and meet the individuals at their own individualized online experiences. Unfortunately this also comes with the task of convincing marketers to buy in, as they tend to want to stretch their budgets as wide as possible. Some of this convincing comes in the form of sobering conversations explaining that even the largest brands don't have the money to target every audience at once. Fragmentation has lead to more digital boots-on-the-ground marketing, such as Cristina Lawrence, EVP of consumer and content experience at Razorfish, aiding a CGP company in establishing a viral TikTok account. Primarily by being flexible and producing content quickly, the company could pursue moment-to-moment trends as they developed and meet users where they naturally were going.Much like when Apple Tracking Transparency turned the advertising world on its head, save for podcasting, our industry is uniquely positioned to serve targeted communities. Podcasts, by their very nature, create their own niche groups. If properly maintained and surveyed, a podcast community is the perfect place for niche targeting. Edison Research Publishes 25th Anniversary Edition of The Infinite Dial Shreya: For our final story of the week, why not end on some more good news? A flashy 25th anniversary edition of Edison Research's report The Infinite Dial dropped last Thursday. Here's some highlights from the 73 page document to take you into the weekend: Monthly podcast listening for the total US population 12 and up dipped last year, going from 41% in 2021 to 38% in 2022. Listenership has risen once more, with 2023 numbers sitting at 42% of the population, an estimated 120 million listeners. Weekly podcast listening took a similar dip in 2022, slipping from 28% of the population to 26%. This year it has climbed back up from the slump to 31%, or an estimated 89 million podcast listeners in the US alone. From the observations slide: “Data appears to reflect ‘post-pandemic': on pattern from previous years.” In essence, it appears the number fluctuations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic severely changing daily routines have calmed. Now the industry is back to the familiar, steady growth seen in previous years. Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits.

Every podcaster — no matter if you're just starting out or you've been releasing episodes for a while — wants more listeners, right? Yeah, I see you.First of all, remember that like other digital marketing platforms, quality is always, always, better than quantity.However! Other than the very validating and very delightful ego boost you get when your listenership grows, there are other benefits too. Like the fact that a large audience will help you attract sponsors, approach podcast networks and ultimately attract more listeners by word of mouth. Seeing a podcast with a huge following tells people there is something worth their time at the other end of the follow, subscribe or push of the play button.But how do you get there before you are — there? How do you build your podcast audience in an ongoing way? We'll discuss the answer in this episode.Topics Covered:Engaged listeners can help your show through word of mouthUse the live feature on your favorite social media to connect with your audienceBuild a community that will allow for a two-way conversation between you and your listenersDon't leave your listeners on read when they reach out in the DMsBonus: feature listeners on your episodes with shout outsResources Mentioned:Florence GivenCircleDownload our free growth guide.

As an Indie Podcaster, I regularly take a risk on paid advertising to grow this podcast, triggering a race-against-the-clock to beat the podcasting giants, uncover hidden opportunities and discover the best way to get in front of my ideal listeners. I think you should do the same. I've been experimenting with paid podcast advertising for the last 4 months, and my podcast downloads have grown by 65%. That's actually why I recorded this episode. I want to see you get similar growth. My goal with this is to show you how to increase the return on all the hard work you put into your podcast by showing you how to implement a paid podcast advertising strategy. Implementing a paid ad's strategy is an essential addition to your podcast's overall marketing plan. At least in my opinion.  I get it, not everyone has the financial resources to invest in their podcast. I also understand that using a paid marketing strategy might be frowned upon in the industry. Fortunately, there are some inexpensive advertising options that I'm confident will grow your listenership. I cover these in this episode. Oh, and don't worry about being labeled a “sell out” for putting some money into advertising your podcast. It's called marketing! If you want to grow your listenership then why not be open to seeing fast returns?  Don't get me wrong, organic growth is best and it will reap dividends for you in the long run. I'm not against that. You definitely need to be pushing your podcast hard on social media, in your newsletter, blogs, and in all other ancillary content related to your podcast. But if you drop a few dollars into paid podcast advertising to pump up those efforts, you'll have a better chance of cutting through the noise and getting your show in front of your ideal listener.  As my buddy Adam Schaeuble of Podcasting Business School says, “You've got to love your podcast like a hobby, but treat it like a business”. But hey, if you're just having fun, I get that too! Just know this episode probably isn't for you. In this episode, you will learn the following: How to use podcast advertising to grow your podcast and get in front of an ideal audience. The pros and cons of Buzzsprout Ads, Overcast FM, Podcast Addict, Pocket Cast and PodNews for paid podcast advertising. The impact of paid podcast advertising on downloads and subscribers.

Enjoy! 

When The Fallout Lounge premiered, the comedy cognoscenti didn't give us a chance. "More like Fallout Lounge DEAD!" sniffed SNL's Lorne Michaels. But defying the odds, we were renewed for a second season, which we cheekily dubbed "Season 2." Listenership grew, and we dropped some of our funniest sketches yet. Mr. Michaels remained unconvinced, locking himself in his office for a day and emerging with, "More like 'The Fallout Scrounge'--for jokes!" Clearly, our little sketch comedy program had struck a nerve. "Who cares? We still have Pete Davidson and Kate McKinnon," the legendary producer sulked, "They'll never leave." 

Is our healthcare helping those with gender dysphoria appropriately? The debate about transgenderism gets put on the hot seat, as I discuss why this shouldn't be a debate, as their mental health is being exploited for monetary gain. Disclosure: there's sensitive content for some to listen, as there's parts where the descriptions of the transitioning process gets graphic, and other serious mental health disorders get discussed- thus it may not be appropriate for minors to hear. Listenership discretion advised.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tabootopic/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tabootopic/support
