POPULARITY
Important Changes You’ll need to subscribe to each podcast separately. In the recent past, you would get every show we produce into your one single subscription of RRR. One of the easiest ways to find all three podcasts is to search under my name in your app. Key in Carm Capriotto. You will find the three show icons appear. Just subscribe to all three. Then you are all set. You’ll never miss a new release Now you need to add two new subscriptions to your favorite podcast listening app. You already have RRR next is to search for Town Hall Academy and For the Record. No matter if you listen on Apple, Google, iHeart, Spotify or the dozen more apps that feature my podcasts, you’ll need to subscribe to Town Hall Academy and For The Record. So you can get a better understanding of when we publish new episodes, let me share with you when you would expect new releases. On Monday’s you get a new For The Record episode. As you know with For The Record you’ll hear a perspective on life and business issues that you may have never heard before. Its format is like the op-ed section of the newspaper. It is the perfect forum to hear from your industry colleagues and get your juices flowing. And I know, ‘cause you’ve told me, that these opines or rants may just inspire you enough to move your thinking in a new direction. So the purpose of this bonus episode is to get you to subscribe to all three shows. You already have RRR now you need to subscribe to Town Hall Academy and For The Record to complete your access to all three weekly podcasts we produce for you. Thanks, and we’ll talk soon.

Spreaker Live Show #105 for March 22nd, 2017Our Topics This Week: -What is Dynamic Ad Insertion and Why You Should Care-Is Podcast Discovery an Issue-Tip of The Week: Interesting Low cost 2 Microphone Mobile Device Setup Show Duration: 44 minutesHost: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dotcom)Co-Host: Alex Exum, Host of “The Exum Experience Podcast” on SpreakerWhat is Dynamic Ad Insertion and Why You Should Care?You put an audio ad in and it stays there for a certain amount of time and it comes out when it’s reached a certain amount of impressions or downloads But one must be hyper-cautious of annoying his audience with bad ads and too many ads with this technology. The tech is not so much the issue, but how it is used.Ideally all ads in podcasts should be read by the podcast host, an approach that can work with dynamic ad insertion.One needs to be really careful to make sure the listener experience isn’t degraded at all from this ad delivery method. One must be mindful of where the ad break is placed inside or at the beginning of content. One also needs to be mindful that using music fades around dynamic ads must be thought through.Some may run dynamic ad insertion with more traditional radio ad type spots with the big brand advertisers. Dynamic ad insertion, if done correctly would not disrupt the long standing host reads experience listeners to podcasts have become accustomed to. No listener would know we’re using ad insertion to deliver an host read or regular old 15 or 30 sec radio spot, because it sounds the same as our other ads they are used to hearing.Dynamic Ad Insertion is rapidly becoming the de facto way of doing business in the Podcasting space. Reality is that there will be a flood of inventory in the space and the CPM rates will likely plummet unless we see more ad targeting in podcasting as a buffer to keep CPM’s up.Dynamic Ad Insertion and Programmatic type ad marketplaces and buying brings risk of commoditization of ad impressions in downloads. Forward-looking podcasters will figure out what their premium content offering products will be to offset these drops in CPM or ad revenue. Podcasters need to diversify.Combining audio with video and click-through ads is part of the solution, but some will be able to sell subscriptions, live performance tickets and other products that add value to their listeners.This show can be heard in: SLS show Apps on iOS and Android, Spreaker Podcast Radio apps for Android and iOS, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Radioline.com! Please leave a review.Tip of the Week: Movo Executive Lavalier Clip-on Interview Microphone with Secondary Mic & Headphone Monitoring Input Device for Apple iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Android Smartphones/Tablets - Available on Amazon.The Movo Executive Lavalier is a dual lavalier microphone system compatible with all smartphones and tablets. The Executive lavalier features two separate microphone heads, combined into a single cable that ends in a universal 3.5mm TRRS jack. Each mic head records individually, making it the easiest and most effective way to conduct any 2-person interview. Simply plug the cord into your smartphone or tablet device, attach the clip-on lavalier mics, and activate your choice of recording app. If you don't need both mic heads in a given situation, either lavalier microphone can easily be removed from the TRRS 4-pole cord jacks and stored for later use.

Spreaker Live Show #105 for March 22nd, 2017Our Topics This Week: -What is Dynamic Ad Insertion and Why You Should Care-Is Podcast Discovery an Issue-Tip of The Week: Interesting Low cost 2 Microphone Mobile Device Setup Show Duration: 44 minutesHost: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dotcom)Co-Host: Alex Exum, Host of “The Exum Experience Podcast” on SpreakerWhat is Dynamic Ad Insertion and Why You Should Care?You put an audio ad in and it stays there for a certain amount of time and it comes out when it’s reached a certain amount of impressions or downloads But one must be hyper-cautious of annoying his audience with bad ads and too many ads with this technology. The tech is not so much the issue, but how it is used.Ideally all ads in podcasts should be read by the podcast host, an approach that can work with dynamic ad insertion.One needs to be really careful to make sure the listener experience isn’t degraded at all from this ad delivery method. One must be mindful of where the ad break is placed inside or at the beginning of content. One also needs to be mindful that using music fades around dynamic ads must be thought through.Some may run dynamic ad insertion with more traditional radio ad type spots with the big brand advertisers. Dynamic ad insertion, if done correctly would not disrupt the long standing host reads experience listeners to podcasts have become accustomed to. No listener would know we’re using ad insertion to deliver an host read or regular old 15 or 30 sec radio spot, because it sounds the same as our other ads they are used to hearing.Dynamic Ad Insertion is rapidly becoming the de facto way of doing business in the Podcasting space. Reality is that there will be a flood of inventory in the space and the CPM rates will likely plummet unless we see more ad targeting in podcasting as a buffer to keep CPM’s up.Dynamic Ad Insertion and Programmatic type ad marketplaces and buying brings risk of commoditization of ad impressions in downloads. Forward-looking podcasters will figure out what their premium content offering products will be to offset these drops in CPM or ad revenue. Podcasters need to diversify.Combining audio with video and click-through ads is part of the solution, but some will be able to sell subscriptions, live performance tickets and other products that add value to their listeners.This show can be heard in: SLS show Apps on iOS and Android, Spreaker Podcast Radio apps for Android and iOS, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Radioline.com!

Spreaker Live Show #103 for March 8th, 2017Our Topics This Week: - Spreaker at Podfest and Proclaim 17 in Orlando- Content Marketing with a Podcast- Adding Sleep Timer- Playback Speed Settings- Less Alerts an option now - Listener Comments Discussed Show Duration: 49 minutesHost: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dotcom)Co-Host: Alex Exum, Host of “The Exum Experience Podcast” on SpreakerLast week, Spreaker and I was in Orlando, Florida to Podfest Multimedia Expo (Podfest.us) and National Religious Broadcaster’s Conference and Expo (NRBConference.org). Spreaker Adds Sleep Timer, Playback Speed Settings to Spreaker Podcast Radio Apps on Android and iOS.Great podcasts are easy to love, so why not make them easy to listen to? We know you’re fitting in your listening-time anywhere you can—like on the way to the movies or as you’re getting ready to go bed—so we’ve added a few extras to Spreaker Podcast Radio for both iOS and Android to facilitate things: introducing new playback settings!Now, a new sleep timer and playback speed settings will help you manipulate those limits.- Set it, then forget it - Sleep Timer additionListening to a podcast as you fall asleep is a totally underrated experience. It’s your end-of-day entertainment that leaves things on a positive note, and a perfect way to trigger your ASMR thanks to soothing podcaster voices (ASMR = autonomous sensory meridian response; aka that tingly feeling you get on your scalp and down your neck). However, there is one tiny setback to it all—actually falling asleep and leaving your device to completely run out of battery before your alarm goes off.The new sleep timer will help save you there! The timer will turn off your episode after the specified amount of time you set it to. For example, if you know you’ll fall asleep in about five minutes, set the timer to turn off your episode automatically with the “+5min” option.- Here’s how to set the timer:In the episode view, under the seek bar, tap on OPTIONS (that’s on iOS, on Android you can tap on the settings icon at the top right). You’ll find yourself in the Playback Settings. To start the timer, tap on any of the available time frames, +5min, +15min, or +30min. To add more time, you can keep tapping any of those options until you get to your ideal amount (so +5min twice to get to 10 minutes). The timer will immediately start counting down.- Speed it up or slow it down - New Playback Speed Settings Podcasts lengths and the time you have available to listen in aren’t always so compatible. For example, getting to the movie theater takes about 20 minutes, but the episode at hand is about 25 minutes. However, you don’t have to leave those extra 5 minutes dangling! Use the playback speed settings to tweak any podcast’s length for the time you have. By speeding things up, you’ll be able to power through as many episodes as you’d like in a short amount of time.Of course, you can also slow things down, too. If the podcaster you’re listening to is a fast shooter, you’re bound to miss a joke here or a word there. Take things down a notch by slowing down the playback speed and you’ll find a much more decipherable episode.Just like the sleep timer, you can set the playback speed by going to the episode view, and under the seek bar tapping on OPTIONS (again on iOS, and on Android you can tap on the settings icon at the top right). Below the sleep timer you’ll see the different playback speeds you can choose from, just tap and drag the yellow dot to your preferred speed. You can do this while you’re tuning in to the podcast to hear the change in real-time and get a better feel for what will sound best..5, .75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.0 speed settings added.One more Bonus Feature Added: Looking for less alerts?We did add one more small, but great feature to Spreaker Podcast Radio: the ability to enable or disable notifications on any single favorited podcast. This way you won’t get overloaded with numerous notifications; you’ll only receive updates on the podcasts you really love.From the Favorites section, tap on the show whose notification settings you’d like to change. Then tap on the About (iOS) or INFO (Android) tab. From there, you can turn notifications on or off. This show can be heard in: SLS show Apps on iOS and Android, Spreaker Podcast Radio apps for Android and iOS, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Radioline.com! Please leave a review.- Reach me at rob@spreaker.com and @robgreenlee, Alex how can listeners reach you?- Tweet @Spreaker on Twitter, Spreaker.com- Why Podcasting Should Be a Part of Your Content Marketing StrategyThink about it: when you hear a good story or conversation, it sticks with you much longer than a Facebook post you glanced at does. This is because we engage with audio in a different way than we do with written content.Emma Rodero, a professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, told The Atlantic,“Audio is one of the most intimate forms of media because you are constantly building your own images of the story in your mind and you’re creating your own production. And that of course, is something that you can never get with visual media.”Podcasts entices listeners to imagine the people, places, and situations they’re listening to. This can help your brand create a deep and meaningful connection with potential customers that can create more conversion to being customers.It takes 25-30 touchpoints with a brand before a listener decides to actually engage with them, old brand advertising took 5-7 touchpoints with customers to convert to being customers. Now, that number of touchpoints has exploded. http://blog.spreaker.com/2017/02/23/podcasting-part-content-marketing-strategy/Listener Comments from SLS102: Tamara @ Shelf Addiction Hey Rob and Alex. I'd be grateful if you could share some tips on achieving better Skype call quality using the Spreaker desktop app. My pop culture co-host doesn't sound as good as she should, yet I know that her internet connection is strong. She uses a headset, and buying a new mic likely isn't an option. I'm out if ideas on how to improve the audio. Thanks in advance.Linda IrwinThank you, Dave! I am blushing!

Spreaker staff got to attend and sponsor our fair share this year — among them NMEU, NRB, and JPod — and each provided its own perspective and insights. -For example, at Radiodays Europe, an event that’s usually more focused on the radio and broadcast industry, podcasting was a main topic of interest; more and more traditional networks are trying to find a way to merge their traditional approach with the new medium.-Podcasting has officially taken over the world with the inaugural Asia Pacific Conference taking place back in February in Auckland, New Zealand.-The biggest event to mark the success of the industry was Podcast Movement, which was even bigger and more bustling than last year. Spreaker team members got to go to Chicago and meet lots of new podcasters ready to get behind the mic, and take the pulse of what’s new in the biz.-More features for more podcasting on SpreakerPodcasting really came of age in 2016 with its modest and steady rise in consumption, and producers are looking to keep up with the demand with quality products that sound and feel professional. -With that in mind, we set to work on our apps for both our creators and listeners.-We introduced the Epidemic Sound Library, full of quality audio tracks to pick and choose from, as well auto-ducking, to the Spreaker Studio console. -That dedication to content also lead to the ability to plug in chapters throughout episodes that can mark and enrich segments with outside links, titles, and images, giving your listeners a complete sensory experience. -From a management point of view, we introduced the CMS, or content management system, in order to streamline the entire podcasting process. Setting up and scheduling episodes, adding titles and images, retrieving code and customizing the embedded player, and enabling auto-sharing to social networks all get taken care of from a single dashboard.But listeners are just as important as podcasters, and the need for a simpler listening solution, through which you can find and save great podcasts, is a definite priority at Spreaker. -This year we updated Spreaker Podcast Radio on iOS to match our Android counterpart, and added auto-generated personalized playlists set to your tastes, a favorites section for your all most listened-to podcasts, and curated lists created by our own team and fellow partners. -Auto Downloads and Channels are coming soon in 2017 to iOS app. Listener Comments on SLS95:Dave KanyanHey Rob, Interesting show with Ray Ortega. Thanks. But I found it a bit ironic. While listening to Ray intently to learn about mics, I felt that Alex always sounds louder and clearer than Ray did. Alex always sounds as if he is in the room with you. Ray sounded to me as if he was coming through Skype or some other way. I know Ray is a bit soft spoken and of course way more soft spoken that Alex, but his volume seemed a bit low. Curious what you or others think. I prefer Alex's sound and volume, easier to listen to while I'm driving in my truck at work. Happy New Year to you and everyone at Spreaker,and the Spreaker live family!Linda IrwinOne of the shows I am affiliated with does Google Hang Outs On Air and the host runs through a desk top Spreaker app. Tracks cannot be played on the Hang Outs, only on the Spreaker channel. This makes for a lot of extra post-production work for me when I have to add those in for the video later. Perhaps there is a way what is streaming from the app can also be on Hang Outs?Spreaker Links:http://Adore.fmhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comrob at spreaker.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

I heard friends say how hard radio can be.Let’s Dive into “Should you use or not Seasons for your Podcast ”Twitter Post: Daniel J. Lewis @theDanielJLewis High-production shows need seasons because it takes too much time to create each episode. Podcasts may be diff.Seasonal Podcasting takes three forms:1) Releasing episodes sequentially for a fixed amount of time or episodes and then taking hiatus, and then returning with another release of sequential episodes. 2) Short run Season: Mini-series type of season approach. Focusing on a particular topic, or taking a repeated approach to different topics for a “miniseries”. 3) Pre-produced batch recordings that are released regularly (weekly or monthly) over time. Not taking any hiatus. May not even present them as separate seasons, but could and just not have any Hiatus - Advantages and Disadvantages of “Podcasting in Seasons”-Seasonal podcasting is MOST beneficial to the Podcaster:- Gives breaks from regular content-planning, recording and post-production- Gives more time to create better quality recordings with more extensive post production- Give flexibility to stretch out shows over more episodes (multiple miniseries or themes)- Helps control costs and maybe matching production cost with sponsor/crowdfunding revenue betterSome but fewer real Benefits to Listener:- Can fit around Summer and Holiday time frames, when a listener can get behind on episodes, which is sometimes different in different countries- Can cover topic or storytelling threads more thoroughly- Encourages binge (catch up listening) during the hiatusDisadvantages to Podcaster with Seasons approach- Easy to lose focus as podcaster moves on (loses show momentum)- Difficult to monetize (donations, sponsorship, sales, etc.) during hiatusDisadvantages to the audience- Subscribers or regular listeners lose patience and unsubscribe/stop listening- Frustrated listener finds other podcasts being regularly produced to listen to- Build an audience is harder using seasons model (must be big name or lots of regular media coverage)Spreaker Links:http://Adore.fmhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

May not even present them as separate seasons, but could and just not have any Hiatus - Advantages and Disadvantages of “Podcasting in Seasons”-Seasonal podcasting is MOST beneficial to the Podcaster:- Gives breaks from regular content-planning, recording and post-production- Gives more time to create better quality recordings with more extensive post production- Give flexibility to stretch out shows over more episodes (multiple miniseries or themes)- Helps control costs and maybe matching production cost with sponsor/crowdfunding revenue betterSome but fewer real Benefits to Listener:- Can fit around Summer and Holiday time frames, when a listener can get behind on episodes, which is sometimes different in different countries- Can cover topic or storytelling threads more thoroughly- Encourages binge (catch up listening) during the hiatusDisadvantages to Podcaster with Seasons approach- Easy to lose focus as podcaster moves on (loses show momentum)- Difficult to monetize (donations, sponsorship, sales, etc.) during hiatusDisadvantages to the audience- Subscribers or regular listeners lose patience and unsubscribe/stop listening- Frustrated listener finds other podcasts being regularly produced to listen to- Build an audience is harder using seasons model (must be big name or lots of regular media coverage)Spreaker Links:http://Adore.fmhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

Una experiencia de escucha totalmente renovada la que ofrece ahora la plataforma que por primera vez introduce dos nuevas funcionalidades, los Canales y las Playlists con las que el consumo de los podcasts y la escucha on demand se hace todavía más fácil, cómoda e inmediata.Gracias a los Canales, creados por el equipo de Spreaker y por patrocinadores externos, los usuarios tendrán la posibilidad de gozar de un streaming continuo durante el que se ofrecen al público episodios procedentes de podcasts distintos pero organizados en un único flujo de audio. Con las playlists es posible crear un streaming en relación a los gustos personales utilizando funcionalidades como me gusta, escucha más tarde o descarga.“Con el aumento de la producción de los podcasts en el mercado, el problema ahora es encontrar los contenidos que nos interesan” - afirma Francesco Baschieri, CEO y Fundador de Spreaker. “Una experiencia de escucha como la que hoy en día ofrece nuestra aplicación, dará a los consumidores una nueva herramienta para escuchar podcasts de calidad y para tener acceso aún más fácilmente al vasto catálogo de contenidos de Spreaker.Spreaker Podcast Radio estará disponible en un primer momento sólo para los dispositivos Android, sistema operativo que hoy en día cuenta con el 80% del mercado mundial de los smartphone, pero la empresa tiene planes para una versión iOS para el 2016.Para tu primer viaje en Uber gratis usa el codigo: uberJossGreenSuscribete a este podcast en: http://feedpress.me/JossGreenLive http://www.iheart.com/show/53-JossGreen-Live/ http://tunein.com/radio/JossGreen-Live-p679001/
