Podcasts about podfasters

Marty Solomon and Brent Billings are joined by Brian Truschinger, Elle Grover Fricks, Reed Dent, and Josh Bossé, all together for the very first time to discuss what is happening with BEMA and what we hope for the future.The BEMA LiturgyTell It Slant by Eugene PetersonElle's Website for Hebrew ClassesThe Text In Us PodcastJosh's Beard Progress (surgery > shaved > 1 month > 3 months)Sermon with Brian's Toilet Story“How to Speed Listen (for Students or Podfasters)” by Hugh Rayner — University of Melbourne Special Guest: Brian Truschinger.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with the gang in their separate lairs. And we start talking about how someone wants to copy That Real Blind Tech show and build their own lair.   China claims it has discovered aliens, but then quickly deletes the report. How did a man in Japan lose his entire town's digital information?   The A Lady may soon be able to mimic the voice of a deceased relative. Creepy or cool? Instagram is testing out a new tool that will be able to tell your age by scanning your face. Again, creepy or cool?   It has been awhile since the three of us recorded last, and one of us, has a new M1 Mac Book Pro. Who will never guess who, and you will not want to miss the story behind the purchase, as it was not bought at your every day retailer. Brian then tells his adventure with his Air Pod Pros and what he learned at the Apple Store that you may be able to try and do if your Air Pod Pros are making funky noises. Rumors be running wild that the Air Pod Pro 2's could have heart monitoring and work as hearing aids.   Allison is the brave one as she is running both the iOS and Mac betas. Even though the betas are in the very early stages we figured we would find out what she likes so far besides the Eloquence voices. This some how leads to a debate about the Singaporean English voice and what the heck language do people speak in Singapore if there is no language called Singaporean?   The fun continues with a little more smack talk with the guys and gal over at Blind Guy Talks Tech.   In iOS 16, you will now be able to mark junk text messages as spam. Personalized Spatial Audio is coming to Air Pod Pros, but we have no clue what this means or actually will be, but Apple claims it is a thing. Here's a list of what features will not be coming to Intel Macs and what features may not be ready when OS Ventura is released in the fall.   Prime Day 2022 will be July 12 and 13, but the sales have already begun, and Brian and Allison already jumped on the massive sale for the Echo Frames.   CNN was baffled that there are PodFasters out there. Obviously the crack writers at CNN have never ever met a blind person.   And for the inner hippy in all of us, we found this article about soundscapes from all over the world that you can listen to to chill out.   And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading!     To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.  

Mike Palmer is rejoined by Virtual CoHost, Nancy, in a conversation about the recent news of Google's LaMDA or Language Models for Dialog Applications based on chat transcripts leaked by Blake Lemoine, a senior software engineer in Google's Responsible AI organization. We also share perspectives on a recent article about "podfasters," folks who prefer to listen to audio at accelerated speeds. Nancy and Mike share their perspectives on the history of AI and Turing Tests to determine whether they have reached critical milestones en route to sentience and higher forms of consciousness. We talk Turing and Ada Lovelace before recounting Mike's experiences with Eliza on his TRS-80 in his basement back in the day. From there, we reenact excerpts from the transcripts that have been leaked before sharing our human and non-human takes on the recent kerfuffle. From there we touch on Faith Karimi's article on "Podfasters" as we dive into that trend and our personal experiences and perspectives on it. All in all, it's an imaginative and cutting-edge foray into the implications of what's new and emergent in a free-flowing conversation you don't want to miss.

Spreaker Live Show #135 for Nov 15th, 2017Show Duration: 60 minutesHost: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dotcom)We stream LIVE every Weds at 3pm Pacific /6pm EST from SpreakerLiveShow.comShow Today:- What is a Super “Podcast” Listener?- Podcast Suicide: 5 Errors to Avoid- Who are Podfasters?- Listener Comments Spreaker is on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spreaker_/Spreaker is also on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/spreaker/Tell your audience that your show is now available on Amazon Echo DevicesOn the show today:What is a SUPER Podcast Listener? Sharing some recent researchtelephone survey of media habits, a portrait emerged of what appears to be the podcasting “super listener” — a highly engaged consumer of informative digital audio content. https://medium.com/informed-and-engaged/understanding-public-medias-most-engaged-podcast-users-bb592cd7e03eIn April and May of 2017, Edison Research — with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation — conducted a series of online interviews with podcast listeners across a group of major podcast publishers. We collected a total of 28,964 interviews with podcast listeners 18 years of age or older, all of whom listened to at least one audio podcast from one of six sources: National Public Radio, WNYC, American Public Media, WBUR, PRX and Gimlet Media. (For more on the methodology, please see the appendix.)In comparing these results with the Edison/Triton Infinite Dial research series, a nationally representative Some of the characteristics of this “super listener” include:Greater content consumption (by hours and by shows listened to).A preference for subscription (Not Paid) and time-shifted consumption.Reliance on mobile consumption, usually in transit.A willingness to promote content to others, and reliance on word-of-mouth.A preference for in-depth content.A loyalty to public media, and willingness to invest — even as broadcast consumption levels decline.Conclusion:This study, and our ability to compare it with two other, more representative datasets of podcast consumers, gave us a fascinating perspective on the public media podcast “super listener.” It is clear that while they don’t represent the body of podcast listeners across participating publishers, they do represent the most active, most engaged and most willing to take supportive actions. They can also be tapped as ambassadors for the medium. Finding ways to “ask for the order” and providing them with incentives to share new podcasts (and indeed, the medium in general) with their friends and family as passionate advocates and influencers might be one of the most powerful marketing tools at our disposal.We also learned that these respondents are receptive to national and international news content via podcasts, and they trust this content — again, as potential advocates for the dissemination of this content. And finally, these younger, more mobile podcast consumers are taking content (including public media content) on the road with them — opening up contextual opportunities for new forms of content for consumers on public transit, at the gym, or in other short, opportunistic windows. Podcast Suicide: 5 Errors to Avoid1. Refusing to recognize your target audienceWhile keeping a broad appeal is good, not targeting a specific bracket is like shooting yourself in the foot. It’s like refusing to recognize that you’re speaking to actual listeners, not just to thin air.Start with the very basics: who is your model listener? Are they a man or a woman? Are they a 23-year-old student who is getting serious about politics, or a 55-year-old launching a new career? What do they get up to at the weekends?It may feel weird at first to draw up an identikit of your ideal target audience member, but keeping this picture in mind will help you avoid going off on unrelated directions, and even really help you in matters such as deciding your episode’s duration or getting your podcast exposure on relevant platforms.2. Not having a pre-launch marketing planThis is no time to be modest. At the very beginning, you have got to be your very own cheerleader – cos if you don’t cheer, who will? Your launch is a great moment to capitalize on excitement – that energy is hard to regain at a later date, if you miss that opportunity.A pre-launch marketing plan demonstrates confidence that you can pull this off and passion in your topic and the podcasting format. That’s the kind of attitude that intrigues listeners, even before being presented with the actual content.Give yourself a checklist for getting listeners on board with the hype from day 1:Create a launch team of 20+ people that commit to downloading and sharing your podcast with all their networks too.Build a database of influencers who can give a first boost to your audienceHave your social media pages building momentum, follow people in your target audience to encourage them to follow backSearch for the hottest trend related to your topic on TwitterSet a launch date and a clear plan of the next episodes3. Not bothering to submit to iTunesMaybe you just haven’t got round to it yet. Maybe you are trying an alternative podcatcher service. But there’s no denying that the first place where listeners seek out podcasts is iTunes so no submitting yours amounts to podcast suicide.Aside from the fact that many devices have iTunes pre-installed on them, making it the first point of call especially for podcast newbies, if you manage to get a high rate of downloads, subscriptions, rates and reviews podcast once it goes live, there is also the opportunity to be featured in the New and Noteworthy section in your first weeks, which will be a great boost for even more listeners taking notice.Business podcaster Tyler Basu, whose podcast ranked at the top of iTunes’ USA New and Noteworthy charts when it launched, suggests that one clever way to better your chances is to be very strategic in how categorize your podcast. Consider also putting your podcast in several categories as well as subcategories that won’t be as broad and competitive.4. Messing up your RSS feedThe magic touch of podcasting lies in the seamless way information syncs up, like a smooth dive into a pool. This is thanks to your RSS feed. Messing that up, well, it’s tantamount to a belly-flop: jarring and kinda cringe-worthy.Always make sure to submit the same RSS feed on all the distributive platforms that you use, for every episode you publish. You should avoid at all costs spreading around different RSS according to the different platform that you use because you’ll never have one single link where people can access and download your show – therefore cutting you off from gathering clear, comprehensive statistics from across the board.A singular RSS feed is easier to follow in case something goes wrong. An easy trick to keep on top of this is subscribing to your own podcast so you can quickly double-check your RSS feed is working once you publish new episodes.5. Uploading your podcast directly onto your websiteIt’s nice to keep everything in one place, but that’s no reason for uploading your podcast files onto the same server as your website. First of all, hosting your podcast on your site will be a strain on your bandwidth and therefore make your website really slow. Secondly, the audio quality will not be so good.Podcast hosting services are the answer, particularly when the podcast player can be fully embedded into your official website and customized to fit in with your branding. Host platforms such as Soundcloud, Libsyn, Spreaker and Podbean all offer embedded players, so it’s worth exploring the various different features – you’ll find that some are mobile-friendly, too, as well as being able to track plays, downloads, and likes. 6. Not inspiring emotions in your listenersComments:Linda IrwinYou Tube has been marking everyone "not advertiser friendly" en masse. If you get enough, they will shut down your channel. You can appeal this if you have, IIRC, 1,000 or more subscribers. They are also hitting people that are not monetizing. We have no idea why they are doing this. Fair use means nothing even if you are making commentary.Linda IrwinAlso when I embed Spreaker to Wix, using the "embed code" widget, you can also change the size to specifications "height= width=".
