On Weds, February 18th Live Episode #651 of the New Media Show, Rob Greenlee, Host, 2017 Podcast Hall of Famer and CEO of Trust Factor Lab at https://RobGreenlee.com, and James Cridland, Editor, https://Podnews.net and 2026 Podcast Hall of Famer discuss Apple's announcement of a new and improved video podcast experience in the Apple Podcasts app and what it changes technically and strategically heading into 2026.  They explain how video was previously active in Apple Podcasts but was hidden and poorly presented in the iOS apps, and how this new updated experience makes video playback front and center, with a “turn video off” option that keeps the audio track playing.  The episode breaks down Apple's preferred move to HLS-based on-demand video delivery (via a separate, proprietary API HLS video streaming pass-through submission from approved hosting partners) while still supporting legacy MP4 video via RSS.  They cover HLS basics (chunked delivery, adaptive quality, reduced bandwidth, and hosting costs), improved seeking/scrubbing versus progressive MP4 playback, and new measurement implications (better insight into drop-off and ad viewing). A major focus is monetization: Apple plans to enable dynamic ad insertion for HLS video and charge a per-impression fee, positioning Apple to take revenue without operating an ad business.  The conversation notes early launch partners (Acast, Art19, Omny Studio, Simplecast), questions about specs and rollout timing (an app update is likely by the end of March; dynamic ad features later in the year), and the risk of platform fragmentation as distribution shifts from open RSS to proprietary APIs.  James and Rob discuss alternate enclosures (Podcasting 2.0) as an open path to wider app support, reference iHeart's stated support for video via RSS alternate enclosures, and highlight creator concerns about losing separate audio edits when video replaces the audio feed during playback.  They also touch on device support (not initially on Apple TV; CarPlay doesn't show video; Vision Pro support) and briefly discuss future RSS innovation ideas like comments, payments, transcripts, and location tags, plus a short note on upcoming podcast events (Podcast Show London, Podcast Movement New York, Podcast Movement at SXSW).

Julian Nieh is Julian on the Radio,and traces his radio career that's from Washington, DC to major markets like Chicago, Seattle, Las Vegas, and the future. He recalls falling into radio through an internship, doing everything from promotions and street stunts to last‑minute board‑opping that led to his first on‑air shifts. Matt and Julian geek out on the magic of 90s radio and MTV, the emotional pull of that era's music, and the power of creating anticipation and memorable moments for listeners.Julian reflects on influences like Elliot in the Morning, Donnie Simpson, and his time at B96 Chicago, where supportive local leadership let him take creative risks and win industry awards. The conversation digs into culture vs. corporate realities, the loneliness of modern radio, and why curiosity, empathy, and connection still matter more than polish. Matt & Julien also talked about the shifting impact of social media, podcasting, and sales acumen, and Julian's search for a role that truly aligns.

We're all looking for those big moments with God, those times when He calls us to step out of our comfort zone, reach for something impossible, have the deepest impact. But what do we miss when we're only looking for big?

In this episode, I share why podcasting conferences still matter in 2026. Attending podcast-focused conferences has shaped my entire career. From the early days of missing the very first podcasting events to the way conferences eventually accelerated my growth, my relationships, and my income, this episode is a reflection on why rooms full of podcasters change everything. For the first few years of my podcasting journey, I was creating alongside others, but I was not yet connected to the larger community of podcasters who lived and breathed this medium the way I did. That changed the moment I started attending podcasting conferences. In this episode, I walk you through: Why missing the earliest podcasting events created some of the biggest regret in my career. How attending my first industry conference shifted the trajectory of my business. What actually happens when you get in rooms with other people who love podcasting. Why conferences collapse years of learning into just a few days. How events like BlogWorld, Podcast Movement, and PodFest shaped the podcasting industry. Why I am intentionally returning to podcast conferences in 2026 and beyond. I also share a recent conversation with Nick Pavlidis, CEO of PodFest Expo, where we talk about: How he got into podcasting through conversations with his kids. Why he bought PodFest and what he is trying to protect and grow. How PodFest is different from other podcasting conferences. Why the event is built around independent creators. The Podcast Hall of Fame and why it now lives at PodFest. The changing needs of podcasters and how in-person events meet those needs. Key ideas from this episode The highest value of podcasting conferences come from the in-person relationships. Being in the same room with other creators changes how you see yourself and your work. The best opportunities in this industry almost always come from conversations, not presentations. If you keep the same people around you, your life and business will look the same in five years. PodFest is designed to serve independent podcasters first, not corporate sponsors.

Can a single conversation help rewrite centuries of racial trauma? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with award-winning podcaster Dominic Lawson to explore how America's racial wounds continue to shape our collective mental health — and what it takes to begin healing. From the generational echoes of slavery to the modern-day silencing of diversity and inclusion, Dominic breaks down why talking about race isn't “divisive” — it's essential.

Using vivid analogies (like concert tickets and cookouts), they discuss racism and racial trauma in approachable ways.

Amy Hughes joins Julie Lyles Carr on this episode of the AllMomDoes podcast to unpack what's up with parent speak.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/47gtJO3 Takeaways:Writing is often a reflection of what we need to hear ourselves.Gentle parenting is a response to authoritarian styles of parenting.Language choices can significantly impact a child's emotional health.Phrases like 'don't be sad' can shame children for their feelings.Encouraging children to express emotions is crucial for their development.The balance between authority and gentleness is a common struggle for parents.Children need to learn how to navigate different communication styles.Role-playing can help prepare children for real-world interactions.Awareness of harmful phrases can lead to better communication.Parenting is a journey of learning and growth for both parents and children.Sound bites:"This needs to be its own book.""Don't be sad is shaming.""Hurry up can cause anxiety."Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Parenting Dynamics02:51 The Importance of Language in Parenting05:53 Navigating Emotional Expression10:00 Replacing Harmful Phrases12:07 Building Emotional Resilience16:32 Trends in Parenting Challenges19:07 Engaging with Community Language22:43 Understanding Rising Childhood Anxiety25:43 Preparing Kids for the Real World27:54 The Role of Repair in ParentingKeywords:parenting, communication, childhood emotions, language impact, gentle parenting, childhood anxiety, emotional intelligence, parenting challenges, family dynamics, child psychology

Recorded on the floor at Podcast Movement, we open up about what it really means to “graduate” a show. Not quitting. Not failure. A deliberate step toward the next chapter. Paula reflects on Season 10 as a season of growth and redirection, while our guest Junaid shares how 700 interviews stayed fresh by letting the format evolve — from beekeeping stories to origin journeys to the habits that keep creators moving.We dig into why podcasts often start as private diaries that happen to be public, and how that intimacy can evolve into a powerful networking engine. The conversation moves from momentum to leverage: treating each interview as a soft invite into your world, building trust with guests, and letting those relationships compound into collaborations and opportunities. We also confront podfade at its source: post-production. You'll hear practical ways to reduce the grind, find interns or a team, and build a simple workflow that protects your energy for the part you love—the conversation.There's room for joy and texture here too: a detour into beekeeping sparked by a search for local honey, a shoutout to Queen B, and the sponsor moments that keep indie shows rolling. We talk tools that matter, like link dashboards that show exactly which posts drive action, so you can double down on what works and stop guessing. And we ground the creative hustle with mental health—faith as structure and purpose, prayer as recalibration, and community as the safety net that helps you choose whether to pause, pivot, or evolve without shame.If you're standing at a crossroads—end the pod, rebrand it, or push on—this conversation gives you language, tactics, and permission. Share this with a friend who's debating a pivot, and leave a review to tell us: are you pausing, rebranding, or graduating your show next?For Extra support BOOK time to chat with Wrap Shit With P https://calendly.com/wrapshitwithpTo connect with Junaid https://homestudiomastery.com/ & listen to his Podcast https://www.hacksandhobbies.com/Talk yo sh!t… Sh!t-Talker!!Support the showFOLLOW US ON;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkshitwithpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TalkshitwithpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkwhitwIthpTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TalkshitwithpShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/Talkshitwithp.shopLEAVE US A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-with-p/id1509470001AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/@TalkshitwithpSupport The Show (whatever you can)Cashapp: https://cash.app/$TSWP20Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TswpBuymecoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkshitwithpAmazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M9Q4HNKRO2WA?ref_=wl_shareTo Learn more on my story;https://flow.page/tal...

I attended Podcast YYC in Calgary back in September—a creator-driven event reminiscent of the early days of Podcast Movement. Supported by Amazon / Art 19 and highlighted by an outstanding keynote from Jesse Lipscomb, the event buzzed with meaningful conversation about podcast discoverability and monetization.The hoser factor was high for this event. It was great meeting Alex Patterson from YouTube Canada, who offered great insights on integrating podcasts into YouTube and stressing sound quality. I was fascinated by Canadian podcast stats, learning that Alberta is the only province with more female listeners, and wondering aloud if Alberta is the podcasting capital of Canada. It was wonderful connecting with industry talents and sharing ideas. If you'd like to connect further, I'd love to meet for coffee!Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the show:Nlogic - TV & Radio Audience Data SolutionsMegatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.Podderapp: Where podcasters can get access to their advanced data dashboard here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

About This EpisodePodcasters struggle with a deceptively simple question: should you put your guest's name in the episode title? On one side, names can spark curiosity and search visibility—when the guest is a household name. On the other, unknown names waste precious title space and suppress clicks.

Episode IntroductionReddit is one of the most powerful, underrated tools for podcasters who want more downloads and better visibility in search results. With over 1.2 billion users every month, Reddit generates an endless stream of real questions from real people—questions that represent genuine demand. That makes Reddit a goldmine for podcasters looking to grow their audience through smarter podcast SEO and more clickable episode titles.Instead of spamming links in Reddit threads, the smarter strategy is to listen. Join at least five subreddits that match your podcast niche—sports, nutrition, marketing, technology, comedy, or whatever you focus on—and start collecting the recurring questions that people are asking. These questions are pure research gold. Paste them into a document and build a living database of audience intent.Next, run those questions through Google. If you see that a Reddit thread already ranks on the first page, you've discovered a proven high-traffic keyword phrase. That's your signal. Take that exact question and use it as your next podcast episode title—or adjust it slightly to make a tighter promise under 55 characters. When searchers type that same question into Google, your episode can appear alongside Reddit, Quora, and other trusted sources. This is how you tap into organic discoverability.When you record the episode, build your talking points around the best answers, patterns, and objections you found inside those Reddit threads. This ensures your content doesn't just match the title but fully matches the searcher's intent. Then, in your show notes, write a clear summary of the process and highlight a few bullet-point takeaways. Skimmable notes help both your listeners and search engines parse your expertise.Listen to the Audio Podcast Featuring the Podsafe Music of Major The Black Sheep - As The World Turns:In this episode, we feature the podsafe music of hip hop sensation Major The Black Sheep with the song As The World Turns. Know for creativity and authenticity. My music gravitates every day life, inner Thoughts, and substance matters. Key Takeaways:Join 5 niche subreddits and track recurring questions.Google those questions to confirm demand and ranking.Turn the winning question into your episode title.Record an episode that answers it better than anyone else.Use structured show notes with headings and bullet points.Publish consistently.

Podcast E-E-A-T Method: Make Your Show Discoverable in the AI EraEpisode IntroductionMost podcasters feel the squeeze: discovery is noisy, recommendations are algorithmic, and attention is a flighty housecat. This episode gives you a practical, no-fluff system for making your podcast easier to find and easier to trust by applying Google's E-E-A-T framework—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—to your episode planning, titles, show notes, and link structure. The goal: earn more “yes” clicks from humans and from AI assistants that surface answers.Previous Episode How To Make People Binge Your Podcast | S4E17 Apply the E-E-A-T Method to Your PodcastExperience: Show lived experience in every episode. Open with a one-sentence “why I care” statement, then add a quick proof—what you tried, measured, shipped, or learned. In your notes, mark experience with phrases like “What we tested,” “Where this worked,” and “What surprised us.” Pull a concrete detail from your transcript (a metric, tool, or constraint) so the claim feels verifiable.Expertise: Teach one crisp, non-obvious thing per episode. If the topic is common, narrow the scope: instead of “grow your audience,” do “double first-week downloads with title rewrites.” In show notes, summarize the method in 3–5 steps and list any frameworks or formulas named in the audio. Link to definitions or sources you cite so curious listeners—and search engines—can follow the thread.Authoritativeness: Earn authority by borrowing and interlinking it. Quote credible sources, reference relevant case studies, and link to prior episodes that establish a track record. Use a small “Further Reading & Listening” block to point to your own best episodes on the topic and to high-quality external material. Cross-linking your catalog increases session time and teaches algorithms what your show is about.Trustworthiness: Be specific, cite numbers, and avoid hype. Add a short “Assumptions & Limits” line in your notes (what this advice does and doesn't cover). Include your name, role, and a contact or site link in every description. If you recommend products or services, disclose relationships. Consistency across episode titles, descriptions, and transcript formatting reduces friction and builds trust over time.Practical Checklist You Can ReuseTitle (≤55 chars): Promise one clear outcome using the listener's language.Hook (first 2 lines): Problem → result → one-sentence method.Method steps: 3–5 skimmable bullets that mirror the audio structure.Proof: 1 metric, 1 constraint, 1 example from your own experience.Interlinking: Add “Previous Episode” and a short “Related Episodes” block.Trust block: About the host + contact/site; disclosure if applicable.Episode Key TakeawaysE-E-A-T isn't a buzzword; it's an editorial habit. Put a real-world detail in every claim.Titles are tiny ads—front-load the promise and avoid vagueness.Show notes do double duty: human skimmability and machine parsability.Cross-linking your catalog increases completions and long-tail discovery.Trust compounds: consistent structure + specific facts = more recommendations.Related Podcast EpisodesUse ChatGPT to Create Your Podcast Show Notes FAST in MINUTES | S4 E15One Secret To More Podcast Downloads | S4E14The RIGHT Social Network For Your Podcast | S3 E17Does your podcast have TOO Many Guests With Shari Post? | S3 E16How Podcasters Can Succeed By Following Hulu's Strategy | S3 E15About Bruce ChamoffBruce Chamoff is a podcaster, musician, entrepreneur, and public speaker.

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DETAILS INVOLVING CHILD ABUSE AND MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME...LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.     On the afternoon of August 14, 2025, Rebecca Haro contacted 911 from a Big 5 Sporting Goods Store in Yucaipa, California to report that she had been attacked and her 7 month old son, Emmanuel, was kidnapped.  She said that she had driven to the Big 5 from her older child's football game nearby to get him a new mouth guard.  She brought the 7 month old with her while her husband, Jake Haro, stayed at the game with their other children.  When she arrived in the parking lot, she noticed Emmanuel needed a fresh diaper, so she laid him down on the seat of the car and prepared to change him when she was attacked from behind, struck with a blow so hard that it caused her to see white, knocking her out cold.  She fell to the ground and laid there for an unknown amount of time before coming to and finding her baby was missing.  She called out his name and eventually went into the Big 5 asking if anyone had seen someone with a baby.  911 was called and a large scale search was launched by both the San Bernardino and Riverside Sheriffs Department assisting in the search efforts.  Within days, the suspicion turned to the parents as inconsistencies came up in mom's story, along with emerging information regarding the dad's criminal history of abusing his children.  If you have any information about Emmanuel Haro's whereabouts, contact the Specialized Investigations Division at 909-890-4904 or leave an anonymous tip at 800-78-CRIME or visit their website wetip.comSOURCES:https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime/2025/08/19/emmanuel-haro-missing-california-mom-parents/85720865007/https://www.newsweek.com/baby-missing-california-emmanuel-haro-2115807https://www.vvng.com/uvalde-foundation-for-kids-to-haro-parents-join-the-search-you-will-be-protected/https://gazettedirect.com/emmanuel-haro-parents/LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSupport the show
