The Spring 2018 Report, available July 18 (Today), also reveals opportunities across industries – from publishing and tech to products and services. Key findings include: - For first adopters, the smart speaker is now the #1 way they listen to audio, and 38% of newer, early mainstream users say they purchased the device hoping to reduce screen time - While first adopters demonstrate more advanced smart speaker use – controlling home security and other household devices – Early mainstream users are quickly relying on the technology for a wider range of daily activities – ordering food, making calls, getting traffic reports, researching products, and shopping - Among all smart speaker owners, the most preferred formats for audio advertisements are skills/features created by a brand, host-read ads on podcasts, product endorsements, and sponsor or underwriter announcements during public radio Does ad insertion make sense for all sizes and types of podcast publishers?-Yes, it can work with Programmatic ads and being able to monetize archive episodes. -Non-evergreen past shows will make less money then shows with true evergreen content. -Depends on types of ads too - radio-like or Live reads-Can automate the monetization of your podcast-Power in combining Programmatic and Live ReadsListener Comments & Questions:http://twitter.com/DaveThackeray Jul 17@spreaker I hate your tagline.

As probably every podcaster already knows, at the end of May, Apple communicated that they will soon require secure podcast feeds as part of publishing podcasts with them.-This means that podcasters who have already submitted their show to Apple Podcasts will need to ensure they are using a secure podcast feed with an SSL certificate and for those of you who plan to submit in the future, you need to make sure you have it set up.

That’s why we have already made an update on our website which will allow Spreaker users to have their show’s RSS feed directly available as HTTPS. Below we explain how to make the changes.-What do I have to do?For podcasters who have not yet submitted to Apple Podcasts yet: you can already get the RSS Feed directly from the CMS or your Show page on the Website since it’s already been updated. It’s that easy.-For podcasters who are already submitting to Apple Podcasts: don’t worry for the time being, the HTTP feed is still working and we are in discussion with Apple to find the best solution for you.

Play Audio Comment Listener Comments & Questions:Joe BunzerellyI know this has been brought up before, but can we put the download button back on the embeddable player? The last time this was brought up i believe the answer was that only a small percentage of listeners downloaded as opposed to streaming. If that's the case, why not make it an option in the embeddable player, like many other features are. I just think it makes it more accessible to people who are new to podcast listening and afraid of using data. Obviously i try to steer them towards the podcast players, but I would still like an easier way to have them download straight from my webpage. I understand that i can make a download button, but if it was integrated into my webplayer, I can have the whole thing automate, and streamline my workload.

This episode is a continuation of my conversation with Joe Pardo. Last time, Joe discussed childhood dreams and business building over at Episode 50. This week’s we continue the conversation with Joe's inspiration for the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference (otherwise known as MAPCon) where he gives the nuts and bolts of starting and running an event. But before we dive into the conversation, if you happen to be in the Philadelphia area, both Joe Pardo and I will be speaking over at Podcast Movement which will be held over at the Marriott in center city Philly July 23-26. I'll be speaking over at PMx, the Tedx style talk with a podcast focus that Monday, July 23rd. What is PMX exactly? PMx is an adaptation of TEDx talks with a competitive spin. PMx will be on Monday, July 23d from 9am – 3pm EST at the Marriott in Philadelphia, PA. A big Shout out to Cypress Resources who will be sponsoring the competition. Joe will lead a session during the event, so please come out for this awesome event if you're in the area as we'd love to connect! Who is Super Joe Pardo? Super Joe Pardo is a New Jersey-based, sixth generation award-winning business owner who works with businesses and owners to help them grow by focusing on their team, offer and process. In 2014, Joe left his family’s $100 million business to start his own. Founding the award-winning show, The Business Podcast, his platform helps owners pursue the business and lifestyle of their dreams. Just recently, Super Joe released the much-anticipated Sales Won’t Save Your Business to further help business owners, managers, sales teams and aspiring leaders grow their business by focusing on the acronym TOP (Team, Offer and Process). Quotes from Joe This is what I love about doing the conference the way we do it. Everyone is in the same room the entire time. That's where you build the jokes. That's where the running jokes come into play—inside jokes—that's where people get to rub elbows with the people that, like the Dave Jacksons, the Rob Greenlees, I don't want to name too many names because I'm going to forget... Mark Asquith, Harry Duran of Podcast Junkies, Jessica Kupferman She Podcasts... now I'm going to have to rattle off everyone's names because I'm going to forget someone and I'll feel bad because I'll forget someone, but they're in the room with you all day. (17:49) Be willing to 'Just do it!' like Nike says. If you don't know how to run speakers, how to put together a website and stuff, find people that do because there are people out there that will get involved and will donate their time, or be willing to invest your time to be willing to do those things. (19:59) Don't be afraid to take action and make mistakes. Everything I've done has not been perfect. We've run into different issues year after year and we tackle them one at a time. Again it goes back to being a professional problem solver. (20:54) Figure out what it really is that you really love and then do more of it—and just keep doing more of it. Don't let those things hold you back like 'I don't know this, I don't know that'—and you're right. Most people that end up owning businesses and running businesses, they don't know either! I know that if you ask them, they were figuring it out too. Again, it goes back to, 'Am I willing to solve problems for a living?' (26:40) What You’ll Learn Joe's passion for running in-person events stemmed from his childhood experience of attending his family business' vendor nights to coordinating video game parties and discovering his love for bringing like-minded people together. The pros and cons, as well as dynamics between the bigger conferences versus smaller conferences. Joe's insight and experiences on getting sponsors, attendees, costs, space, keeping things simple to start and then growing the event each year as you get some successes going on. For those either aspiring to start or are starting an event,

This month, we’re featuring dads who rock at life on both the home and business front. Last week, Andy Shaw of Instafather shared precious moments on and how he and his wife skillfully manage family life with a kindergartner and 3-year old twins at Episode 49. On this week’s episode, Super Joe Pardo, founder of the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference and father of two—including a newborn—discuss his entrepreneurial journey and how he manages business and life. So with Joe Pardo, our conversation is broken down into two parts. This week, we'll discuss his childhood dreams and what led him to where he is today. In part two, we'll discuss his inspiration for MAPCon (again the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference). But before we dive into the conversation, if you happen to be in the Philadelphia area, both Joe Pardo and I will be speaking over at Podcast Movement which will be held over at the Marriott in center city Philly July 23-26. I'll be speaking over at PMx, the Tedx style talk with a podcast focus that Monday, July 23rd. What is PMX exactly? PMx is an adaptation of TEDx talks with a competitive spin. PMx will be on Monday, July 23d from 9am – 3pm EST at the Marriott in Philadelphia, PA. A big Shout out to Cypress Resources who will be sponsoring the competition. Joe will lead a session during the event, so please come out for this awesome event if you're in the area as we'd love to connect! Who is Super Joe Pardo? Super Joe Pardo is a New Jersey-based, sixth generation award-winning business owner who works with businesses and owners to help them grow by focusing on their team, offer and process.

Just recently, Super Joe released the much-anticipated Sales Won’t Save Your Business to further help business owners, managers, sales teams and aspiring leaders grow their business by focusing on the acronym TOP (Team, Offer and Process). Quotes from Joe On Discovering What You're Passionate About The people that are most inspired are the people doing some form of what they wanted to do when they were a kid. (6:56) For connecting the dots though, you have to figure out not just what you’re passionate about, and what’s gonna make a difference as far as like if I’m gonna start a business or career. That’s why I always asked the question on the show, ’What was your childhood dream?’ Go back to that. (14:01) Always be checking in that you're happy, and that what you're doing is fulfilling your or that need inside of you saying, Hey, remember when you were a kid when you wanted to be a child psychologist? Well you're not doing that now, right? But when I was a kid there was no such thing as a podcast. When I was a kid, I didn't know I could write books and change people's lives. Like I had a limited view of the world at that point. So that's why I want you to get back to that childhood dream frame of mind and just figure out what is the root of what it is you really want to do? (15:18) What You’ll Learn How Joe had a calling to help children as a child psychologist at just 7-years old The steps Joe took to transition from family business building to following his dreams The importance of owning your own dreams and visions and what it will take for you to realize them How an intentional approach to time helps get the most important things done Websites: https://superjoepardo.com/ Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter Resource Mentioned: Event Mentioned: PMX COMPETITION ON JULY 23, 2018, 9am - 3pm Marriott, Philadelphia, PA http://pmx.podcastmovement.com/ Podcast Movement July 23-26, 2018 Marriott, Philadelphia, PA https://podcastmovement.com/ Other Listening Options:

You can listen to true crime podcast and audiobooks as they were meant to be experienced, from episode one, even if they’re already six episodes into the program. Reversing the episode order can be useful when listening to regular talk shows, too–follow your favorite host’s creative trajectory (and finally get all those inside jokes). You can reverse the episode order of any podcast from its Info section. -Think Podfaster, or PodslothingIn all these cases, manipulating the playback speed settings is the best option you’ve got.You can set the playback speed by going to the episode view, and under the seek bar tap on OPTIONS (that’s on iOS, anyway, on Android you can tap on the settings icon at the top right).

That's essentially all of them.IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH PODCASTS ON GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC.Why is it important?Android is the most popular mobile phone operating system in the world - it's used by over 80% of smartphone users. The Google Podcasts player is already installed on virtually every one.Is Google Podcasts available in my country?Yes. It is available worldwide.Where do my listeners download the app?Your listeners don't actually need to. Just add a direct link on your website to your podcast on Google Podcasts, and they'll be able to listen immediately, without having to download an app.But I really want to download the appYou can download the Google Podcasts app if you like. It's a tiny, 100k, icon which looks like any other app, and points to the app already installed on your phone.What is my podcast's direct link for Google Podcasts?Google has a tool to help you. Visit this page and type in your podcast's RSS feed. If it's listed, you'll get a link which, on an Android phone, takes you directly to your podcast's latest episodes. Here's ours. Your listener does not have to have the app installed - it will still play.How else can my listeners listen?They can just search for you in Google, and, on an Android phone, your podcast will appear in the search results, complete with play buttons that take you into the Google Podcasts app.How do I get a nice "Listen on Google Podcasts" badge or logo?You can download these straight from Google, here. They're in PNG or SVG format. They should be the same size as the Apple Podcasts button you probably already have.Should I link to Google Podcasts instead of Google Play?Yes, you absolutely should.

If you're not listed, Google have a set of guidelines to help you. They're technical, so you'll need to involve your web designer. We've written a simpler guide here.Does Google Podcasts do shownotes?Yes. But it uses the field, rather than ; and it irritatingly strips out all HTML formatting and links.What's the difference between Google Podcasts and having my podcast on Google Play Music?It's entirely different. Google Play Music isn't available anywhere outside the US and Canada, and requires a software download. Google has already said it's replacing Google Play Music with YouTube Music in time, so it's likely going to disappear.Does Google Podcasts cache the audio files?No. (Google Play did. Google Podcasts does not.)What else do I get as a podcaster?The front of the Google Podcasts app shows suggested podcasts based on a listener's previously-enjoyed episodes. Some of them show "Other podcasts by..." and link to every other podcast you've produced. There are trending podcasts based on listening habits and categories. It's designed to make listeners discover more new podcasts. Including yours.I'm a podcaster. What should I do now?Add your Google Podcasts direct link now on your website.Make sure it's the same size and prominence as your Apple Podcasts link. Nobody likes feeling second-best.Always promote your website. Never only link potential listeners to Apple Podcasts: for at least 50% of them, it's a useless link that doesn't go anywhere.Listener Comments & Questions:Joe BunzerellyHow do you go about taking episodes off of IHeartRadio ? I only ask because i accidentally published a live broadcast before i could edit it, and now i have an edited and unedited on IHeart. Also, is there anyway to update the show artwork on IHeart?Dave KanyanHey Rob. Question: You can disable comments on your show page in Spreaker? I was trying to leave one for Pat Flynn and the Smart Passive Income show but it won't let me. But everytime I hit enter I see the comment button I see the tally go up. It now stands at 3.Linda IrwinI am not typical of most women and I love your dramatic presentation, Alex!Doug SalamoneAlex Exum orders an expresso NOT an espresso.Alex's voice is like a roller coaster ride at Six Flags, in a good way.Spreaker/Voxnest Links:https://Voxnest.comhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comEmail: rob at voxnest.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/VoxNestTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

Google Play Music isn't available anywhere outside the US and Canada, and requires a software download. Google has already said it's replacing Google Play Music with YouTube Music in time, so it's likely going to disappear.Does Google Podcasts cache the audio files?No. (Google Play did. Google Podcasts does not.)What else do I get as a podcaster?The front of the Google Podcasts app shows suggested podcasts based on a listener's previously-enjoyed episodes. Some of them show "Other podcasts by..." and link to every other podcast you've produced. There are trending podcasts based on listening habits and categories. It's designed to make listeners discover more new podcasts. Including yours.I'm a podcaster. What should I do now?Add your Google Podcasts direct link now on your website.Make sure it's the same size and prominence as your Apple Podcasts link. Nobody likes feeling second-best.Always promote your website. Never only link potential listeners to Apple Podcasts: for at least 50% of them, it's a useless link that doesn't go anywhere.Listener Comments & Questions:Joe BunzerellyHow do you go about taking episodes off of IHeartRadio ?

Also, is there anyway to update the show artwork on IHeart?Dave KanyanHey Rob. Question: You can disable comments on your show page in Spreaker? I was trying to leave one for Pat Flynn and the Smart Passive Income show but it won't let me. But everytime I hit enter I see the comment button I see the tally go up.
