In today's podcasting news, Ginni is bringing us the scoop about a recent deal between two podcasting powerhouses. The deal will hopefully increase revenue for content creators and access for listeners. Listen in to find out more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today's PodReport, Ginni brings us podcasting news straight from the picket-line. Listen in to find out who's joined the writer's strike and what they're demanding from major streaming platforms like Spotify and Amazon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To paraphrase a great philosopher of the early 2000's.....FINALLY.....The Jag Show....has come back....to podcasting. First, apologies for the hiatus.  I've spent much of the last six months on a passion project - the WJPZ at 50 podcast - interviewing alumni from a half century of my college radio station.  Look for a case study on that show soon in this space. Also, on Tuesday, April 4, I'll be co-presenting "How to Launch a Podcast," with my client Angela Buccellato of The Resume Rescue.  I'll be talking about how to get started, and Angela will talk about how she's used her show, That's Business, as a marketing and lead generation tool.  If you're local, the event will be at Bamboo in Royal Oak, Michigan.  If you're not local, you can watch virtually.  https://bit.ly/startapodcastwithjag Now, onto March's podcasting news.  The biggest news is the integration of podcasts into YouTube.  YouTube  is one of the top discovery methods of podcasts, and I've long said that even if your show is audio-only, it still needs to live there for SEO purposes.  Well, if you've organized your episodes into a playlist on YouTube, you can now categorize that playlist as a podcast.   Also, YouTube's got some great analytics available to creators - from watch time to device type and operating system, as well as the traffic source they came from.    For me, the only downside is that YouTube isn't pulling from your podcast's RSS feed (yet), so the YouTube metrics and your podcast download numbers will have to remain separate - for now. For audio podcast consumption, the debate rages on between Apple and Spotify.  Spotify has the most listeners from a quantity perspective, but they only download 3 episodes on average.   Apple's listeners download 30.   So more listeners on Spotify, more consumption on Apple. Edison Research's Annual Infinite Dial Study was released in early March, possibly the most important analysis in podcasting, IMHO.   Key takeaways are that after a bit of a COVID dip, podcasting is back on the upswing.  This of course relates to the return of commutes.  Two thirds of Americans age 12+ have listened to a podcast, almost half have listened this month, and a third have listened in the last week.   Full study here: https://www.edisonresearch.com/infinite-dial-2023-from-edison-research-with-amazon-music-wondery-and-art19/ The PodFest Global Summit is live this week https://podfestglobal.online/tickets/ Some fun tools for podcasters include PodSqueeze, which uses AI to generate show notes, summaries, and social media content from your uploaded audio file. I tried it this morning.  Pretty good, but like most AI, not nearly as good as a human doing it the old fashioned way. Auphonic, a popular online production tool, has revamped its system. And Podfast is an app that's coming soon which will deliver short audio summaries of longer podcasts, like a Cliff's Notes version.  They claim it's totally legal. We will see. Here's my key takeaway - as AI continues to get better and better, the list of potential tools for podcasters keeps growing.   But we aren't at "set-it-and-forget-it" levels yet.  We'll get closer, but we'll never be all the way there.  The best thing for you to do, as a podcaster, is see which of these tools can cut down your production time for your podcast, but check and tweak everything. Hope you continue to be well, and I'll see you next Tuesday in Royal Oak.  Lata! 

It's been awhile since we did a recap of news in the podcasting world - so I'm gonna share some headlines that have grabbed my attention over the last month or so:The biggest story is Edison Research's Spoken Word Audio report, released at the end of October, and surveying Americans ages 13 and up.  Some of the key takeaways: 131 million Americans listen to Spoken Word Audio daily, that's up 25% since 2014.   Also, 29% of all audio consumption is now spoken word. That's up 1.5x from eight years ago.  And Gen Z specifically, their consumption of spoken word audio has nearly tripled.   And that's not just because today's pop music sucks.  Also, it's too loud and GET OFF MY LAWN!   Here's a link to the takeaways and the study: https://www.edisonresearch.com/the-spoken-word-audio-report-2022-from-npr-and-edison-researchPodcast host Buzzsprout has gone viral with their video on how to be a podcast guest.  It's a classic 90's instructional video throwback - complete with a rapping PSA.  Link: https://youtu.be/mes-wril-GwSome news specific to Apple Podcasts:  Beginning in 2023, they'll no longer require an email address to be associated with a show.   I love this idea - because I'm the admin email for many of my clients, I can't TELL you how much spam I get.   Your email address doesn't need to be in the back end RSS data.  But it should be in your show notes, so your listeners have a way to contact you.    Also, Apple has started auto-tagging individual episodes by category.   On one hand, Big Brother is listening, but on the other, it might help your discoverability!You may have noticed a new look to Apple Podcasts in iOS 16.  If you listen on an iPad, you'll have a new sidebar to help you navigate between shows.  And on iPhone, you'll be able to navigate easier from the lock screen.  That said, Apple is raising prices on Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One.   Man, I hope that last season of Ted Lasso is worth it...Amazon Music still represents less than 1% of US podcast listening, but it's Amazon, so I expect that number to grow.  They've added more ad-free podcasts for Prime members.  Maybe instead, we'll just keep seeing ads for terrible Thursday Night Football games.  Titans-Packers this week.  Yawn.  Can't Wait.Tom Webster, in Sounds Profitable, has a two-part series on Radio's Seven Warnings For The Podcast Industry. They are:Painting With The Same BrushPlease Don't Destroy Us With AdsDon't Neglect the Farm TeamNever Be Content With ContentNo One Will Thank You For Killing Their JoyYou Don't Start Smoking at 30Never Forget Joey Bag O'Donutshttps://soundsprofitable.com/update/radio-warnings-for-podcast-industry-1https://soundsprofitable.com/update/radio-warnings-for-podcast-industry-2You know I'm a fan of Squadcast as a remote audio recording platform.  They announced they've received several patents for their behind the scenes tech. https://squadcast.fm/blog/patent-awarded-the-squadcast-recording-engineA podcast called Canadian Politics is Boring is putting out an episode of their show on cassette.  Yes, cassette.  It's a cool novelty - but unless you've got a device that plays cassettes, it seems the tapes are just going to be glorified paperweights.Finally, a quick shoutout to Evo Terra, who wrapped up his show Podcast Pontifications.  He was one of the first big names in podcasting two decades ago, and he was always gracious to me with his time, including being a past guest on this show.  You can find his episode here: https://thejagshow.simplecast.com/episodes/podcast-og-evo-terra-consumed-only-beer-and-sausages-for-a-month
