It's been a long time since we drove a diesel SUV for The Motoring Podcast, but Genesis was keen that we tried their best-selling UK model, the handsome, not-quite-a-coupé, GV-70. Alan drove one to Scotland and back to find out what all the fuss was about.

Everyone agrees that pre-produced, lifted-from-radio ads suck on podcasts, and that host-read ads are the clear winner. But is that true for every podcast? More importantly, is it true for your podcast?  https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/host-read-podcast-ads-arent-always-the-right-answer I think we put too much emphasis on the idea that host-read ads are the be-all end-all for podcasting.  Not that I have any doubts about the https://soundsprofitable.com/update/good-data-back-to-basics (myriad case studies and the reports) that provide ample evidence to the fac that yes, podcasting's host-read ads beat the pants off of just about every other form of audio advertising. The reason host-read ads work really, really well is not because the host of the show is reading out the ad. Yes, I know that sounds weird.  But it's not the host reading that does it. It's the audience trusting the recommendations of the host.  A host-read ad is—and I know I'm oversimplifying, but not much—a recommendation. A powerful one, but that power only extends so far. It's delineated, more or less, by the domain of the topics and issues discussed on the podcast.  I'd be heavily influenced by a car recommendation from the host of a car podcast. But life insurance? Nope. I'd listen to a birder podcaster tell me what binocular to buy. But their opinion on patio furniture is less important.  And don't forget the myriad fiction, news, or straight-up educational podcasts where there isn't a strong and central host. In all of those cases, there's not even an option for a true host-read ad.  Keep that in mind and look closely at the type of show you're producing before you assume that ad types other than host-read aren't applicable. They might be. And they might work even better. ----- Sponsored by: https://evoterra.link/captivate (Captivate.fm, the world's only growth-oriented podcast hosting company) ----- Links ----- https://soundsprofitable.com/update/good-data-back-to-basics (Podcast advertising case studies) https://twitter.com/Clew_less/ (Andrew Clews)  https://twitter.com/dbwilldo (Don Burnside) https://www.motoringpodcast.com/ (Motoring Podcast) https://www.whiteroofradio.com/ (White Roof Radio) https://twitter.com/Suzy_Bee (Suzy Buttress)  https://casualbirder.com/ (The Casual Birder Podcast) Got a podcasting service? https://podcastpontifications.com/about/sponsorship-information (Become a sponsor of Podcast Pontifications).

Why do you podcast? Yes, plenty of selfish reasons are important if only to keep you podcasting. But does it go deeper than that? I asked the community and was blown away by the responses I received. Garret Godfrey says his show, Good Patron, explores “...how we can better support the bands & musicians we love.” Dr. Carrie Gillon says her show, Vocal Fries, exists ”...to highlight the fact that judging language is judging humans in racist, sexist, classist ways, and more.” Susan Ni Chriodain says: “Over 80% of people are disengaged in the workplace. In Life Beyond the Numbers, conversations are about how to have a more fulfilling work-life.” Travel podcaster Amanda Kendle says that her podcast, The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, “...connects to my whole kind of life/career purpose, which is sharing the value of travel as a tool both for personal growth and to make the world a better place.” Martha Lawton of Squanderlust says her show's purpose is: “To help people overcome fear and shame around how they have managed their money, so they can face where they are now and change it for the better.” Neil Hedley of The Snooze Button says his show is “... an effort to save people from the hucksters who would capitalize on ignorance by pushing ridiculous solutions that don't actually help people.” Gary Arndt sums up the purpose behind Everything Everywhere Daily with: “I'm trying to combat ignorance. Too many people just don't know much about the world around them. How it works and how it came to be.” And Andrew Clews says the Motoring Podcast wasn't started for a goal, but that: “As we've gone on, we have found ourselves fighting misinformation/lack of understanding…” Again, there's no requirement to do that. Podcasting just for fun can certainly be quite fun. But if building something bigger with a true community around it, it's probably worth your time to figure out the bigger mission your podcast plugs into. ----- Boostagram Corner Thanks to James Cridland for the Satoshis!

GOVERNMENT CHANGES HGV AND TOWING TESTSIn a bid to reduce the backlog of tests and increase the number of HGV drivers, the Government has decided to do away with some of the previously mandatory requirements to show someone was a safe and competent driver.

The site was partially selected due to the conditions which enable excellent wind generation of electricity, which means the site and project will be virtually carbon-neutral.

Many podcasters sacrifice the majority of their free time so they can podcast. Some of them seem to love that, while others wonder if they're missing out on what life has to offer. Which are you? You may have seen the news from China on the growing pushback against the “996” way of doing business, where workers to are expected (or required) be productive from 9:00 AM until 9:00 PM six days a week.  While I am in no way trying to conflate the hellish conditions exploited workers around the globe face every day with the “job” of podcasting, I can say that many podcasters do work incredibly long hours.  For many, 996 is just getting started. I know podcasters who are at it 8-12-7 or 10-3-7 kick. For many, that's their choice. I don't presume to know your individual circumstances, so I can't tell you how you should or should not spend your time, even on your podcast. But I can say that if you have a choice, and if you feel like you need to make a choice, it's okay to bug out early on your podcast from time to time. It's OK to take a day off from your podcast when you need it. Heck, it's OK to take the long weekend to do whatever you want. And yes, it's perfectly acceptable to go on vacation and just relax for a week or more. If you want to take a break, and if you can take a break, it's OK to take a break. Podcasting will still be here when you get back. I'd much rather have you in podcasting for the long run than see you burn out too quickly, as far too many would-be podcasters do. Do what's right for you. ----- Boostagram Corner!  Shout-outs in the episode to Paul Colligan and Andrew Clews for their support.

SECURITY VULNERABILITY FOUND IN SMART CHARGERSPenTestPartners has investigated smart EV chargers available to those buying for themselves as well as public chargers, finding many security vulnerabilities. For those interested, click here for PenTestPartners's own report. However, one concern is the operating system used by some firms. Where Raspberry Pi is used there are more issues, because that is not a suitable OS for a connected device due to a lack of security layers inherent in the system.

CLIMATE SPOKESPERSON CAUSES ONLINE KERFUFFLEAllegra Stratton, the Prime Minister's climate spokesperson, stated that for her a third-hand diesel Golf is better than an EV, due to the lengthy journeys she travels to visit relatives. One aspect is that she seems to have no understanding of the current state of EV and the charging network.

Andrew had a Suzuki Vitara for a week, how will it stand up to the rigors of the Cracked Windscreen horde over that period? Listen in as we hear about how this surprised him, how using it in one dry grassy field cannot be considered “off-road” and why he likened it to a puppy chasing a stick.

Well, you’d expect nothing less from the Motoring Podcast.
