Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre las complejidades del puritanismo a inicios del siglo 17 de acuerdo capítulo 3, “Early Stuart Puritanism” por Tom Webster del libro The Cambridge Companion to Puritanism. Ver aquí: https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/religion/church-history/cambridge-companion-puritanism?format=HB&isbn=9780521860888 . Páginas 48-66. El programa de hoy explora las complejidades del puritanismo de los primeros tiempos de Estuardo (1603-1640), cuestionando la noción de un movimiento unificado. Analiza la cambiante relación de los puritanos con la corona, destacando los periodos de optimismo y decepción, y la tensión entre conformidad y subversión. Webster examina las diversas estrategias de los puritanos para la reforma religiosa y social, incluyendo el mecenazgo, la piedad y la cultura impresa, demostrando su adaptabilidad y resistencia ante los cambiantes panoramas político y eclesiástico. Además, investiga el impacto del laudianismo, ilustrando cómo el aumento de la presión condujo tanto a una mayor conformidad como a una respuesta más radicalizada por parte de algunos. Por último, el programa concluye abogando por una comprensión más matizada del puritanismo de principios del siglo 17, haciendo hincapié en su heterogeneidad interna y su fluidez contextual.

April 17, 2016, was a very rainy day in Midlothian, Texas and 45-year-old Missy Bevers was scheduled to teach a fitness class outside of Creekside Church at five the next morning. That evening Missy posted on her FB page” If it's raining, we're still training!” giving the time and location of the class with instructions to meet inside the church building instead of their usual spot in the parking lot.  Around 5:00 am the next morning, students arrived at the church, but instead of being met with the expected smile and encouragement that Missy was known for giving, they found Missy lying unresponsive on the floor surrounded by blood and broken glass.  Later that day, Missy would be pronounced deceased. When authorities reviewed the church's surveillance footage, nobody was prepared for what they would see. This video catapulted Missy's case into the public eye and despite having very clear pictures of Missy's killer, more than 8 years later, her case remains unsolved.    Sources: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/missy-bevers-murder-investigation-midlothian-texas-police-suspects-leads/287-9de8d7d7-6684-4cb0-9f5f-57bc10847b26 https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/husband-of-missy-bevers-discusses-unsolved-case-nearly-8-years-after-her-murder/3464935/ Tom Webster.

I came out of Podcast Movement 2024 with two key takeaways: better audio analytics, and the importance of YouTube.Today, I explain that downloads, while still industry standard, do not paint the whole picture of who's listening to your show, when, and for how long?  The real key data can be found on your dashboards within Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Speaking of YouTube, the biggest change in podcast survey data between 2023 and 2024, per Tom Webster of Sounds Profitable, is the percentage of consumers who are discovering podcasts on YouTube.   Having at least your audio on YouTube is crucial at this point.   Should you have your video there as well?  Ideally yes in the world of SEO and algorithms, but Tom explained why it may not be a good idea for everyone.Finally, what about growing your podcast?  I share some tips I learned on how to do that.   Spoiler: you have to do more than blast each episode onto all your social media channels.Also, the Sounds Profitable Podcast Landscape webinar is this Wednesday, featuring a treasure trove of conumption data.  You can sign up here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1417244414089/WN_FmmkfieESZ69XqSSpXptlQ#/registration Find jag on social media @JAGinDetroit or online at JAGinDetroit.com

We've spoken before about how podcasting is a great tool for building an audience that sees you as a thought leader. That's still true, but simply having a podcast is not enough. To truly be successful in podcasting, you must know how to engage that audience and be worthy of their time. As our guest Tom Weber says, “You don't have a right to have an audience.” An audience must be earned. Tom shared some insights about the importance of knowing who you're really speaking to. It's not just about demographics; it's about understanding your audience's needs, fears, and desires. We also explored how to build a captivating narrative that engages listeners and how to ask the tough questions that get you honest feedback. If you want your podcast to engage your audience and make it past the first seven episodes, it's worth investing the time and effort to make it truly exceptional. Your audience will thank you for it — and more importantly, they'll keep coming back for more.
