Podcasts about Signal Hill

This week: Opportunity in Kids podcasting as recession looms, Podcasting's ‘recession era', some audio publisher's teams still growing in 2023, and Paul Riismandel joins Signal Hill Insights.  Podcasting's Recession Era and how podcasters are approaching it. Manuela: This week our first segment is going to cover a variety of articles centering around an overall theme: podcasting's reaction to the recession in early 2023. To kick things off, we continue a throughline of covering how the Kids & Family category has quickly evolved into a juggernaut. Over the first half of 2022 the genre made itself known as a force to be reckoned with over several big deals and signings.  Now as the recession looms, along with doom-and-gloom articles about said recession, big-name deals are becoming more scarce. Tumble Media CEO Lindsay Patterson has worked in kids podcasting for years and likens the 2022 surge to being invited to a party late. Kids & Family has arrived just in time to find the host is taking down the decorations. From her January 11th Medium post:  “With a general pullback on spending on podcasts, it's likely that companies will be hesitant to invest in strategy and content for kids, who require a new approach to audience development and monetization. It's a different model than “grownup” podcasts. But the good news is kids' podcasts may be a welcome guest at other parties — and in many other industries. There are choices. Nay, there are opportunities.” Patterson proposes Kids & Family's relative newcomer status to the wider industry leaves it plenty of unpursued avenues that are already well-tread ground for others. Her article touches on concepts like adapting existing kid-friendly IP to podcasts and pursuing new platforms. Interestingly, she points to nonprofits, grants, and research studies as potentially viable funding paths. Patterson speaks from experience, having partnered Tumble Media with a non-profit organization to win a grant. The partnership has been funded to spend three years studying how both listening to and making podcasts can engage blind and sighted students in the classroom.  “In a way, the warnings and scrutiny of the podcast industry makes me more optimistic than ever before about the kids' space. We can take a clear eyed look from the outside, and see how kids' podcasts can and should be better.” Patterson's suggestions of creativity and adaptability come at a good time for smaller creators, as even larger presences in podcasting are beginning to feel the effects of hiring and investment freezes. This Wednesday the Hollywood Reporter published a piece by J. Clara Chan titled “Podcasting's Recession Era: Dealmaking Gets More Selective in Slower Ad Market.” Chan begins the piece with a big-picture view of investments made by major players in the industry before setting the article's goal answering the question: “What will podcasting's next era look like during a recession?” Her article begins with a focus on the deal-making side of the industry, sourcing two anonymous dealmakers and their observations of industry performance in recent months. Big companies seem to have covered their bases on wide demographics. Chan gives the example of Spotify's coverage of Gen Z and millennial women with acquisitions of Call Her Daddy and Emma Chamberlain's Anything Goes. BIPOC Podcast Creators co-founder Tangia Al-awaji Estrada gives a perspective from a smaller, independent side of the industry: “It feels a little bit premature at this stage because we don't know exactly what's going to happen, but it does feel like there's some panic in the air. We're seeing companies who'd normally be investing in up-and-coming talents, indie creators — smaller companies are pulling back and saying, ‘Well, we're not doing that right now. We're not doing that at all.' So, there's definitely a feeling like folks are holding their breaths to see what's going to happen.” Last Friday Sara Guaglione, writing for Digiday, published a piece covering the phenomenon of smaller production houses growing as larger entities condense their audio teams. A tally of jobs on sites like Indeed with the word ‘podcast' in the description shows there has been a downward trend of open positions since the peak in May of 2022. Still, companies are hiring. “A number of media companies posted new podcast job openings this month. Vox Media, for example, posted a job opening this week for a $200,000+ ​​executive producer position for its daily show “Today Explained.”” Guaglione also points to Tenderfoot TV, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal as places that are actively growing their audio teams.  Returning to the Hollywood Reporter piece, we reach the advertising side of podcasting. The conclusion reached by J. Clara Chan's reporting will be a familiar one to loyal followers of The Download. In general, advertisers are pacing themselves from brand awareness campaigns and doubling down on direct response and prioritizing sales conversions.  The piece ends with a final sentiment from Al-awaji Estrada, quote:  “Podcasting is going to be just fine. I really believe that podcasting is still so young that a huge market change isn't going to blow up the entire world. There's going to be some tightening of the belts, probably, across the board. But by the time we come out of this thing, I think we will have seen podcasting continue to grow through the recession.”  Paul Riismandel joins Signal Hill Insights Shreya: For this segment we're covering something of personal significance to Sounds Profitable. Last Thursday podcasting veteran Paul Riismandel joined Signal Hill Insights as the company's new Chief Insights officer. From the Signal Hill press release: “At Signal Hill, Riismandel will help solidify the company as a critical independent third-party voice providing industry-wide and custom research solutions. He will focus on furthering innovation in podcast measurement, combining ad effectiveness, creative analysis, and audience insights, in order to help partners and the industry at large understand how best to serve both listeners and advertisers, together.”  Having overseen hundreds of ad effectiveness studies since 2014, Riismandel takes research seriously. From his blog post on the Signal Hill website last Thursday:   “I cannot overstate the importance of independent third-party research in the development of any media platform. That said, publishers are a fundamental driver, and many invest in internal research, done with integrity, to build their business. In turn this elevates the whole medium.” For those newer to Sounds Profitable, Riismandel is a big figure in the company's history. It was him who got Midroll Media to become a day-one Sounds Profitable partner back in September of 2020. Now, in 2023, we're thrilled to be partnering with Riismandel and everyone else at Signal Hill Insights in producing more independent third-party research.  Quick Hits Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles called Quick Hits. These are articles that didn't quite make the cut for today's episode, but are still worth including in your weekend reading. This week:  Magellan AI launches Spanish language podcast prospecting and competitive intelligence tool, a press release provided via Podnews. With their new Spanish language support, Magellan AI already has data on Spanish-language ads from more than 2,000 advertisers in the US. A better way to measure podcast success: Listen Time by Jonas Woost for Bumper. In which Woost tells the story of YouTube switching from using views as a metric to ‘watch time,' and suggesting a similar update to the podcasting industry as an alternative to the download.  A Tale of Two Bytes: Prefix vs. Host-based analytics by John Spurlock for Livewire Labs. An excellent explainer on why third-party analytics download stats might be different from the downloads reported by one's hosting company.  The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis.

Famoso por suas casas coloridas, Bo-Kaap é uma espécie de bairro oficial do intercâmbio em Cape Town. Não apenas por abrigar residências estudantis e host-families. Mas, também, por contar com uma vizinhança essencialmente muçulmana, permitindo contato com uma cultura bem diferente da nossa. Bo-Kaap se localiza na área central de Cape Town. Além do casario colorido, sua outra marca é a quantidade de ladeiras, algumas bem íngremes. É que o bairro fica na subida da Signal Hill. O lugar, cujo nome significa “acima do Cabo”, não foi batizado assim à toa. * * O Bastante Sotaque é o podcast que nasceu do blog sobre a África do Sul. Site Instagram

Way back in 1994, I dreamed of getting into Sports Radio. I was an intern at 61 Country on Signal Hill in Kansas City, MO. Did pre and post game production work for Royals Games. I loved it. But ,I also saw what it was like on the inside. There was enough for me to decide I wanted to be around a nicer group of workers and professionals. Here in 2022, 11 years and 750 Episodes and 1,970 plus interviews into my show Neon Jazz with musicians all over the globe, I am reminded of why I made the right call. It's not the way I envisioned, but it is clear to me now. Covering the world of jazz music is the best gig. They are the brightest, most grounded, humble and nice humans on the planet. I guarantee it.Keep this in mind as I tell you a little story... As I tell my story.On May 2, 2022, after another dismal loss from the Kansas City Royals in St. Louis .. losing 1-0 with our ace Zach Grienke on the mound, it was a rare afternoon game and it extended a very ugly season the Royals have had. I get that .. I love a winning team like anyone else, but I also realize that these are humans .. athletes that are giving it their go .. and things are likely to turnaround. Per usual during a losing streak like this, I tune into the post game show and the clouds are dark .. its ugly. The host of the show Josh Vernier is in a bad mood .. the callers are spitting nails. Everyone is crying that the sky is falling. Sure .. yea .. it's bad .. I get it. Am I happy about the losing? Na .. Am I realistic, sure .. minced with being an optimist .. I was driving around with my 17 year old son Miles .. who is special needs and within the last year .. thanks to the pandemic in particular, he has been getting into the sports radio more and more .. It fatigues me .. The world of non-athletes going on and on .. most of it is negative, narcissistic and childish banter .. it is something one can only digest for so long .. but, there are some entertaining moments .. yet, mostly it's a mirror of our societal ills with the same rhetoric recounted, complaints, ego, macho-driven theories and all the stereotypical like .. but, I keep at it for Miles .. & I know he will wear thin of it .. And I'm sure this story is why … Click to listen.

La radio parlée ou chantée, en direct ou en balado est désormais partout dans nos vies. Mais il a d'abord fallu trouver le moyen de communiquer à distance sans se servir d'un fil, une technologie qui servira plus tard pour les téléphones cellulaires notamment. Et cette technologie, elle a été inventée il y a 120 ans, aujourd'hui, par un certain Marconi. Qui était-il? Comment a-t-il réussi son exploit?  Avec Baptiste Zapirain et Charles Trahan  Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

“Voice does communicate so much more meaning than what you can read. No matter how well written it is, it's still the voice that really carries the meaning of the feeling of that, and you know as a voice actor how important that is and how much more it communicates.” Jeff Vidler This week's the second part of my interview with Jeff Vidler, audio researcher, media analyst and the founder and president of Signal Hill Insights, as we discuss smartphones, Clubhouse, the future of podcast growth and marketing, and his latest audio studies.   The Problem of Downtime We continue with a look at how much the audio industry has changed over the past ten years, especially as smartphones, smart speakers, and streaming audio have come to replace traditional radio. "One of the things that smartphones do," Jeff explains, "is that they solve the problem of downtime when my mind is free but my eyes are busy and I'm bored." Despite the changing technology, he notes that radio programming itself has turned out to be more resilient than we might have expected, with more 18-to-34-year-olds listening to the radio than reading newspapers or watching network television.   Clubhouse vs Podcasts Jeff and I also talk about the emergence of Clubhouse as an entirely new form of audio media, and whether it'll replace or enhance the role of podcasts. "Being part of something," he notes, "interacting with something in real-time, is different than settling into a podcast and losing yourself in a podcast, in a story that's being told." We also discuss Apple's recent change to its podcast language, and whether you "subscribe" or "follow" podcasts.   A Whole New Vista We wrap up the interview with a look at the Megalab Truth Test and the surprising insights it offered about how well people can detect a lie, and some of the upcoming projects Jeff's working on right now, such as the Radio on the Move study for the Canadian radio industry as well as commercial podcasts and radio contests.

“It's a gift to listeners. If you make your podcast a gift to listeners, they'll appreciate the fact that you gave them that gift and they'll remember you for that and they'll think better of you for that as a brand.” Jeff Vidler   This week's guest has remained at the forefront of changing audio landscape. From his start as a radio station manager and program director, he's spent more than twenty-five years in research, sharing his passion for audio with North America's major broadcast companies. More recently, he's been doing the same with podcast publishers. His name is Jeff Vidler and we'll be talking about his insights into this steadily growing media segment. For those of you curious to learn more about the world of podcasting and how things have changed over the years, this is definitely the interview for you.   Listening to the Funnies Jeff tells us how he grew up with an older brother who wanted to become a radio DJ and, as a child, helped his brother cut demos for his first radio job using a portable record player and the family's home stereo system. Radio had a powerful early influence on Jeff, and he tells us about the radio program that awakened his passion for broadcasting and the audio industry: a local show that turned the newspaper comics into comedy skits every Sunday morning. “I can remember even thinking,” he tells us, “this company is so cool that they're allowing me to hear the funnies brought to life.”   A Really Exciting Time Next we take a closer look at Jeff's career and how much it's evolved and grown since those early days in front of his brother's turntable. After starting his audio career as a copywriter, music director, and radio consultant, he moved on to media research in everything from print and digital media to television and radio. “In the last four or five years the whole audio world has opened up with the growth of music streaming and particularly the growth of podcasting,” he explains. “It's a really exciting time for audio.”   Nobody Really Knows One of the challenges that he's working to overcome is the lack of marketing research into podcasts and new media. As Jeff puts it, "nobody really knows that much about what gets listened to and who's listening... and is it working for the advertiser." Although podcasts have seen incredible growth over the past five years, ad spending has lagged behind it for a variety of reasons such as segmentation, measurement, and the sheer number of podcasts out there. Podcasts By Brands We also talk about his research into the emerging market of branded podcasts, or, as one of the companies that Jeff's worked with prefers to call them, original podcasts by brands. “They're not trying to sell,” he explains, “they're telling stories." Despite having no editorial impact and having a very light brand touch, they've turned out to be surprisingly effective at garnering brand recognition and creating a positive association with the podcast's listeners.   Be sure to check back next week for part two as we take a closer look at the rise of smartphones and smart audio, Clubhouse's impact on podcasting, and some of Jeff's latest market research.

It's not really about the medium for Karena, she likes to work with different mixed media. But always resourceful, Karena says the best form of what she does is recycling - and the best form of recycling is reuse."It's hard not to be impacted by the environment," Karena said. One of her most recent works is titled Spoken Ice, linked below, a video project for soundpedro: an ear-oriented multi-sensory arts festival, held annually at Angels Gate Cultural Center, in San Pedro, CA.  For the event, Karena wanted to do something on climate change and glaciers, and to reach and affect people through environmental works. Through a total of three  soundpedro videos and many of her other works - some which we discuss in this episode - Karena's art urges consideration the world, nature and its condition and invites the viewer to  reflect upon it, provoke conversation and self-reflection.   • View a special Walk Thru video by Karena inside her studio to have a look at the works discussed. Current exhibitions: • View Karena's most recent video, Spoken Ice, a video collaboration with artist Sheri Ki Sun Burnham. • Rooted at the Greenly Art Space in Signal Hill, the exhibit runs through October 9. • Opening Nov 13, a group show at SoLA Contemporary as part of a CRP (Critical Response Process), the culmination of a year of making work during the pandemic.InformationKarena's website: https://www.karenamassengill.comInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/karena4art/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=karena4art

April 28th at 7pm EST, Brady is joined by a Canadian hockey icon, Kelly Hrudey Kelly Hrudey, born January 13, 1961 is a Canadian former National Hockey League ice hockey goaltender. He is a current hockey broadcaster with Sportsnet as an analyst for Hockey Night in Canada and the Calgary Flames as a commentator. During his NHL career, Hrudey played for the New York Islanders (1983–1989), Los Angeles Kings (1989–1996), and San Jose Sharks (1996–1998). During the latter years of his playing career, he often joined Hockey Night in Canada as a studio analyst to supplement their playoff coverage if his team missed or was eliminated from Stanley Cup contention. After retiring, he joined the broadcast team full-time as an analyst. He was featured in the "Behind the Mask" segment with hosts Scott Russell and later Scott Oake during the first intermission of the second game of Saturday night doubleheaders. In 2007, Hrudey helped debut Hockey Night in Canada Radio. The show originating from Toronto with host Jeff Marek is a three-hour program dedicated to hockey. The show is broadcast on Sirius XM Channel 122 and 97. Hrudey co-hosts Monday and Wednesday from his home studio in Calgary. For the 2008–09 season, he began working alongside host Ron MacLean and Elliotte Friedman on HNIC's lead studio team. Hrudey also made a weekly appearance on the TSN 1040 in Vancouver with Rick Ball. With Rogers Media, the parent company of Sportsnet, gaining the sole national rights to the NHL beginning in the 2014-15 season, in August 2014, Hrudey joined Sportsnet full time to participate in their hockey coverage. In addition to his HNIC role (which remains on CBC as part of a four year sub-licensing deal), he along with Ball became the new announcers for the Calgary Flames regional broadcasts. Hrudey lives with his wife Donna and their three daughters in Signal Hill, Calgary, Alberta. Hrudey does advocacy work in the field of mental health, inspired in part by his daughter's struggles with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. He received an honorary degree from Mount Royal University on November 3, 2017 for his mental health advocacy efforts. He is of Ukrainian origin. www.pucksupport.com   www.moregooddaysclothing.com

Today on Light on the Hill pastor James Kaddis gets us ready for Good Friday, by showing us why it’s so significant.

We’ll hear how parables and riddles can help us understand concepts and principles in today’s lesson from Ezekiel chapter seventeen.

Blind spots… we all have them, so we need the help of a good friend to tell us the truth when we’re not seeing it. Ezekiel is friend like that, and we’ll hear from him today on Light on the Hill.

At this particular time Israel was worshipping many false gods, including the god of pleasure. It’s eerily similar to what’s going on in the world today.

So its December 1901 Christmas is a fortnight away for the combatants and Christiaan de Wet was tracking his arch enemy, brother Piet. It was revenge he was after and as we all know – it's a meal best eaten cold and unfortunately Christiaan was overheating. While he stewed on the information that his hated brother was instrumental in setting up the National Scouts, made up of Boer turncoats who now fought for the British, across the world the end of 1901 brought with it a number of fascinating events, incidents and issues. On December 1st : A crowd of 100,000 people turned out at London's Hyde Park to demonstrate in sympathy for recently fired British Army General Redvers Buller. He was now being blamed for the disasters at Colenso and Spioen Kop almost two years previously where the Boers had pulverised the British as they tried to relieve the siege of Ladysmith. But on matters more prosaic. On the 2nd December 1901 a man by the name of King C Gillette began selling his safety razors in the United States. He was inspired by something that could be used and then thrown away, thus ensuring future business. It's a bit like Monsanto's seed business these days, but that's another story. Gillette applied for his US. Patent number 775 134 on December 2 1901. His American Safety Razor Company would become the multi-billion dollar behemoth Gillette Company. Bizarrely Following the commercial success of disposable razors, Gillette refocussed his attention on promoting his views on utopian socialism. Strange but true. On December 3rd 1901 the Australian parliament passed its Immigration Restriction Act primarily to restrict non-Europeans from permanently entering the country. Interesting. Then on December 7 1901 The United Kingdom and Germany delivered an ultimatum to the government of Venezuela, after the South American country reneged on bond payments. Venezuelan President Cipriano Castro was given 48 hours to agree to the terms, or to face a blockade of his nation's ports by the Royal Navy and the German Navy. Well some things never change. On December 9 1901 the first-ever Nobel Prizes were announced, with x-ray discoverer Wilhelm Roentgen receiving the first Nobel Prize in Physics, Emil von Behring being awarded the prize in medicine for his discovery of the first diphtheria antitoxin, Jacobus van't Hoff pioneering work in physical chemistry earning him the chemistry prize, Henry Dunant and Frédéric Passy sharing the peace prize, and Sully Prudhomme winning the prize in literature. The bestowal of the prizes came on the fifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel who I mentioned in Episode 1 of this podcast series. The next day December 10 Joseph W. Jones was granted U.S. Patent No. 688,739 for his invention, "Production of sound-records", which was purchased immediately by the Columbia Phonograph Company for production of its disc-shaped Graphophone records. Jones was paid $25,000 – worth around 700 000 dollars in today's moolah. Finally in this series of amazing things that happened in December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic radio signal, sent 1,700 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England to Signal Hill, St. John's in Newfoundland in Canada on the 12th. December. It was the letter "S" ("..." in Morse code)., He is quoted as saying "there was no doubt that the principle of wireless communication had arrived on a transatlantic scale... This was a utility, and would prove itself beyond argument as a vital aid to shipping and military communication." And on the same momentous day, 12th December in South Africa's Cape Colony, Lieutenant General French finally caught up to General Pieter H. Kritzinger, who had led the Boer incursions into the Cape on three occasion. Unfortunately for him, it was three strikes and he was out.

After our adventures down in Australia, it's time to get local again with Ten Mile Brewing in Signal Hill, California. Drew sits down with Dan Sundstrom to talk how the brewer got started and why they have a focus on tradition including their attempts to bring the Kentucky Common to California.
