Dave and Jim share their thoughts and experiences with streaming platforms like Streamyard, Ecamm, EVMux, and OBS—breaking down the pros, cons, and learning curves for podcasters of all skill levels.

The hosts dive into some great listener questions, from strategies for discovering the right audience for niche content, to tackling podcast burnout and knowing when—or if—it’s time to take a break. They get real about what it takes to pay a co-host for a daily show, discuss the ups and downs of local podcast audiences, and offer true-to-life advice for podcasters feeling nervous to start recording.

So we are still playing with EVMux (which locked up on me 4 minutes into the show) and we explored why validation matters, the importance of understanding your tech platforms, and how to balance podcasting as a hobby versus a business. Whether you’re starting with passion or planning for profit, remember: focus on great content, know your numbers, and never stop learning from your own journey.

I like Ecamm. When I bought it, I was will to pay for a tool that helped me make lessons for the School of Podcasting and it did live streaming with TONS of options. I now use Tella to make screenshare videos for the School of Podcasting, and I don't really need the features in Ecamm so I'm CONSIDERING moving to Evmux. The problem is I didn't practice enough so this episode is a bit rough at times as I run into areas where I thought I knew what I was doing, but didn't. Pardon me please. I will practice much more before next week.

Today we got a question from Kenny from the CuzWilson Show (not a typo). "I'm Kenny Wilson and my new podcast is The Cuz Wilson Show and I talk about people, places, and things named Wilson. I created a YouTube show to supplement the podcast with topic visuals and showcase personalized merch with Wilson in the graphics to support non-profits named Wilson. My concern is about AI Potslop because I hate it like you guys do, however I love Notebook LM. My YouTube show is half my real recorded text invoice and half Notebook LM hosted explainers with static images but no videos or AI talking heads. I record my real voice for the intro, tease the topic of the day, then I describe a Wilson thing or place and then I show the explainer and then I discuss the explainer after that. I do a transition and then I repeat the format for the next topic. It helps me to have visuals to describe the things I talk about, but I don't want to turn off those who also hate Potslop like I do or reduce my credibility. I categorize my cautious use of AI as Potslop-lite, therefore I like your definition of what makes Potslop so I can avoid the irritation it causes. I know you say it's your podcast and you can do what you want, but I highly respect your opinions from all your help over the last two years of being a member of the school of podcasting and listening to your show. Thanks guys!"

Today we attempt to answer that question. We reference Jeanine Wright on the New Media Show.

In this episode we talk about the following: sharing stories about our moms for Mother’s Day, discussing the latest changes with Spotify’s video podcast distribution and the shift from RSS to API models, reflecting on how these changes could impact podcasting’s open ecosystem, and worrying about being locked into certain platforms. We also dive into the increasing use of AI in content creation, how to stand out in a world filled with “AI slop,” and what it means for trust and originality. We tackle questions about the future of websites for podcasters, how much editing is too much, and what makes a podcast worth listening to. Plus, we answer gear questions about shotgun microphones, debate the human connection in sports and comedy, and share thoughts on affordable tools for video editing—all while fielding lots of great input from the chat.

All-in-one podcast platforms are everywhere again, and they’re selling the same dream: one login, one bill, one magical dashboard that handles hosting, editing, video, email, websites, and growth. We slow down and ask the uncomfortable question: if a tool does everything, what corners did it cut and what will that cost you in time, quality, or control? We also unpack the bigger industry trend behind it all: consolidation, rising prices, and why “free” tools (especially AI) rarely stay free forever.

The fastest way to burn out in podcasting is believing you can build a professional show on “free” forever. We get honest about the real cost of remote interviews, why Zoom at $20 a month is not the villain, and how the market always moves from free to paid once tools have to support real users at scale.

We also draw a hard line between a podcast and a YouTube-only show. If you want your work to live beyond one platform’s rules, you need an RSS feed and reliable podcast hosting. That point gets painfully real when we react to a creator who says they lost four years of work after platform enforcement and vague policy flags. From backups to hosting choices to owning your distribution, we talk about what actually keeps your catalog safe.

Then we tackle the clip dilemma: spending more time making TikTok, Reels, and Shorts than producing the main show. We break down why many clips fail out of context, how “views” can be misleading, and how to use AI tools responsibly without letting them erase your voice. Jim also answers questions about local AI with LM Studio and what it means for privacy, workflow automation, and the very real hardware costs behind the AI boom.

If you want smarter podcast strategy, better production habits, and fewer wasted hours, hit play and come hang with us. Subscribe, share this with a podcaster friend, and leave a review so more creators can find the show.

We dig into Apple’s upcoming video podcast changes and why pulling audio straight from a video file can wreck a careful audio-first edit. Then we shift to what actually helps creators right now: show notes that serve listeners and search, plus AI workflows that save time without handing your laptop the keys.

Let an AI agent loose on your computer and you may learn a lesson the hard way: “automation” isn’t the same thing as “safe.” We dig into OpenClaw and the sudden shift from AI that only chats to AI that can act, locally, with access to your files, your scripts, and whatever permissions you hand over. If that sounds like Zapier with a rocket booster, you’re not wrong and that’s exactly why we talk guardrails, sandboxing, approvals, and why you should never treat a beta tool like it’s magic.

In this episode of Ask the Podcast Coach, Dave and Jim dive deep into one of the least sexy—but most critical—parts of podcasting: how you store, sync, and back up your files without losing your mind (or your episodes). They talk through practical strategies for using local drives and cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, iDrive, Backblaze, and more; the crucial difference between sync and backup; and how to design a file workflow that actually fits how you podcast. Along the way, they veer into tech nostalgia (AOL, Windows Vista, DVDs), debate whether podcasting is “at the beginning of the end,” and tackle tricky topics like bad interviews, ad-heavy networks, and why not every conversation—or phone call—needs to be a podcast.

This episode spent a good chunk of time exploring the importance of having a supportive, comfortable chair for podcasters, with both Dave Jackson and Jim Collison sharing their experiences with back pain, various chair types, and why investing in quality seating pays off for anyone spending hours behind the mic. We also devoted significant attention to troubleshooting podcast recording setups—comparing platforms like Zoom, StreamYard, Boomcaster, and Riverside, along with the pros and cons of “all-in-one” podcast solutions versus a tailored workflow of specialized tools. Throughout, we highlighted the value of careful tech choices and ergonomic comfort for long-term podcasting success

Hey there, Dave Jackson here! In this episode, Jim Collison and I dove deep into some hot topics in podcasting and audio media. We kicked things off with a look at the latest Edison Research findings showing that, for the first time, more time is spent listening to podcasts than to AM/FM radio for spoken word audio. We reminisced about the evolution of radio, the challenges of finding a working radio today, the shift of talk and sports content to podcasts, and how technology keeps changing the game.

We also had fun nostalgia moments: remembering AM static, Headbanger's Ball, MTV catchphrases, and what really happened to music videos.
Advertising in podcasting got a thorough critique—how much is too much, what makes ads skip-worthy or valuable, and what lessons we can take from radio and even the Super Bowl.

Another lively discussion came up around video podcasting. We debated YouTube versus distributing video everywhere, addressed anti-YouTube sentiments, and reminded listeners that audio is still king for a lot of people.
I also shared some behind-the-scenes tech workflows, like how I use Tella, Hindenburg, and Podchapters, how to move sites to Podpage, and why no tool does it all (yet).

Big philosophical questions popped up too: What would actually "kill" podcasting? Is it too many bad ads, a decline in content quality, or moving away from RSS? Or, is podcasting simply evolving, and are our definitions (or nostalgia) holding us back?
Randy Black called in with a great riff on what "remarkable content" really means—it can be good or bad. We wrapped up by agreeing that, at the end of the day, success in podcasting comes from making meaningful shows for your audience and being authentic.

Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Ask the Podcast Coach! I’m Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting, joined by my buddy Jim Collison from Home Gadget Geeks.

On this episode, I was joined as always by Jim Collison, and we had the pleasure of welcoming Ralph Estep from AskRalph.com—the Content Creators' Accountant—to dive into recent changes in how the IRS handles tips for content creators. Ralph walked us through the new law allowing up to $25,000 in tip income (like Super Chats, Buy Me a Coffee, etc.) to be excluded from income taxes in 2025, provided you track it properly. We talked about the importance of keeping tip income separate from memberships or other payments where the customer receives something tangible or access in exchange.

We also took questions and comments from our live chat about accounting software, prepping for taxes, and even how certain types of Patreon support could possibly qualify as tax-free tip income under this new law (with a big emphasis on always consulting your own accountant!). Whether you’re using Super Chats, Patreon, or other support methods, this tax year might look a little different.

In this episode of Ask the Podcast Coach, Dave Jackson and Jim Collison dive into the evolving world of podcasting where authenticity wrestles against the growing pressures of monetization and consolidation. Are podcasts losing their unique spirit and turning into just another version of radio? Dave and Jim reflect on the rise of dynamic ads, syndication, and free hosting, dissect the pitfalls of “following the money,” and urge podcasters to stay true to their voices.

They also share hard-earned insights on:

• The realities of switching hosting platforms and how to avoid common traps
• Building and engaging a supportive community
• Motivation and consistency tips during slow growth phases
• Smart file management and backup strategies
• How to handle listener feedback, sponsorships, and measuring podcast success beyond downloads

First up, I share some behind-the-scenes updates, including my recent move from a lifetime video hosting deal that went south to Voomly, and how AI tools like ChatGPT are helping me generate show notes and summaries more efficiently. We also discuss the mysterious rise of EM dashes in AI-generated writing—did anyone use them before AI took over our grammar?

We talk about what’s happening at Libsyn, including some big changes in leadership and strategy, and my insider thoughts about their direction and features (or lack thereof). If you’re as confused about Descript’s new billing system as I am, you’re not alone! We chat about the challenges podcasters are facing as media hosts race to add features and AI tools—sometimes at the expense of clarity or affordability.

Our special guest, Ray Arnott from Around the Layout, comes on to ask how to best encourage guests to promote their episodes. Jim and I brainstorm practical ways to make it easier for your guests—everything from pre-written social posts to follow-up routines and even link tracking so you know who your real MVPs are.

Ever wonder if daily podcasting helps or hurts? We break down how to use November-style challenges to build reps without burning yourself out, and why the best consistency is consistently delivering value. From there, we get real about “reality” podcasts: celebrity banter can skate by on fame, but most shows need a promise listeners can feel—make them laugh, teach them something, or save them time. If your friends love hanging out, great. If strangers stick around, you’ve got a show.

We also dive deep into AI as a workflow multiplier. Show notes, chapters, and summaries can be generated in seconds, but they’re drafts you must refine. We share practical prompts, why FAQs boost discoverability, and the non-negotiable habit of checking links AI invents. Then we zoom out into platform hygiene: remove dead Google Podcasts links, test your contact form, and make your subscribe page obvious. Quiet fixes compound growth.

What happens when your listener’s device can generate a personalized podcast on command—your voice, their preferences, zero friction? We dig into a bold forecast from Joe Pulizzi and use it as a springboard to map what creators must do now to stay essential. The headline: you have time, but not to waste. The next three years will reward human connection, not just output.

We break down why live shows build a moat AI can’t cross: people show up to participate, not just consume. That interaction turns casual listeners into community, and community into staying power. We also get real about costs. AI features rarely come free; they come with higher monthly bills and massive energy needs. From new data centers to rising rates, we unpack how an “AI bubble” could reshape tools and pricing—and why consolidation doesn’t mean the end, just a different landscape.

The feed isn’t “social” anymore—it’s an endless parade of AI-recommended video. So why are we still hoping a 30-second short will magically convert strangers into hour-long listeners? We pull back the curtain on what the platforms actually reward, why shorts are best used for brand awareness, and the specific moves that help listeners cross the bridge to your long-form show.

We talk about the algorithm reality—how little time people spend with actual friends on major platforms—and what that means for podcasters betting on reels to drive growth. From hooks that stop the scroll to chapters that make episodes navigable, we break down a conversion path that respects your audience’s time. We also dig into platform control and fragmentation, from Spotify pushing video to Netflix to creators leaving YouTube, and why owning your domain and a simple “/follow” page reduces friction across the board.

What happens when AI gets good enough to sit in the co-host chair—but not good enough to replace a heartbeat? We dig into the real trade-offs behind AI in podcasting, from research assistants and auto-summaries to voice cloning, live translation, and whether anyone actually wants a synthetic sidekick. The conversation is honest and a little contrarian: yes, the tools are powerful and getting better by the week; no, they can’t carry the weight of human curiosity, risk-taking, and the messy surprises that make a show worth hearing.

We also tackle the question so many podcasters ask at the 200‑episode mark: should I quit? The answer starts with purpose, not downloads. If your show brings in clients, sharpens your thinking, and gives your current audience real value, that’s success. If burnout is the real problem, take a strategic break or switch to seasons—use themes for deep research, group similar content for discovery, and protect your energy without ghosting your listeners. On the flip side, there’s a strong case for consistency: when you occupy a loyal spot in someone’s weekly routine, missing a release can invite another show onto their “first string.” Choose the path that fits your goals, then communicate it clearly.

Ever feel like your show is stuck at 30 downloads and your guests won’t share your episode? We’ve been there, and we’re putting it all on the table—how language choices affect your brand and reach, why “big name” guests almost never translate to listener growth, and how to structure improv so it lands without a live audience. We get honest about impostor syndrome, burnout, and the moment you realize your strategy isn’t working. Then we walk through practical fixes: crafting episode promises that stop the scroll, building segments that deliver clear payoffs, and setting up chapters so listeners can jump straight to what matters.

We also tackle the messy stuff most shows avoid. If a co‑host keeps low-talking under you, the solution isn’t a new mic—it’s leadership. Hear how to set expectations, give actionable feedback, and make the hard call when behavior doesn’t change. On the tools front, we compare quick-win clip workflows, where AI show notes actually help (FAQs, key takeaways), and why you still need a human ear before you publish. We touch on platform realities—feed limits, chapter support, and the way explicit tags can nuke discoverability in certain markets—so your distribution doesn’t quietly work against you.

Dave Jackson flies solo this week (with special guest appearances from Randy Black and Ralph Estep Jr.) to tackle this challenging question and more. Randy shares a heart-wrenching story about losing his podcast co-host and friend, reminding us of the human connections that make this medium so powerful. His emotional recounting serves as a poignant reminder that beyond analytics and strategies, podcasting creates meaningful relationships that transcend the microphone.

The conversation takes a practical turn when Ralph joins to break down the differences between LLC and sole proprietorship structures for podcasters. His expertise reveals that proper business structuring can save significant money on self-employment taxes while providing liability protection—with benefits potentially kicking in at just $8,000 of annual podcast income.

A cautionary tale emerges about platform dependence when Dave shares the story of a podcaster who lost 168 episodes overnight when Spotify deleted their entire catalog over a single music-related terms of service violation. The lesson? Always back up your content and understand platform policies before it's too late.

How do you find guests when your podcast covers extremely niche topics? It's a challenge many creators face, especially when starting out. Dave Jackson and Jim Cullison tackle this question head-on, providing practical strategies that go beyond the standard advice. Rather than endless online searching, they suggest going directly to where your potential guests gather, leveraging existing connections, and most importantly, asking current guests for recommendations.

The episode takes a heartfelt turn as the hosts pay tribute to podcasting pioneer Todd Cochran, founder of Blubrry, who recently passed away. Todd's unwavering commitment to open RSS, transparent business practices, and advocacy for podcasters has left an indelible mark on the industry. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Dave and Jim highlight how Todd's principled approach to business and genuine care for the podcasting community set a standard that continues to influence the medium today.

What truly builds podcast audiences - authentic connections or inflated metrics? This episode explores the fascinating contrast between Taylor Swift's approach to audience building and questionable industry practices like buying fake downloads.

When Taylor Swift recently proclaimed "I'm in the business of human emotion" on a podcast, she revealed the secret behind her massive success - creating genuine connections with fans through carefully crafted experiences. Meanwhile, a Hollywood Reporter article exposes how some podcasters resort to purchasing downloads and subscribers, revealing a fundamental misunderstanding of sustainable audience growth. Dave and Jim unpack this revealing contrast and why emotional connection always trumps numerical shortcuts.

Ever wonder if your podcast title is helping or hurting your discoverability? We unpack a fascinating case study of "Booked on Planning" – a podcast about city planning that highlights the tension between creative naming and searchability. As one listener aptly notes: "What are people typing in trying to find your show?" This question alone could transform your approach to podcast branding.

The Audience Is Listening - Book By Tom Webster
https://geni.us/tomwebsterbook

Speaking opportunities and media appearances represent powerful pathways to podcast growth, but they don't happen by accident. We explore practical strategies for securing these opportunities, including when to consider hiring a publicist and how thorough preparation creates the foundation for authentic, engaging presentations. As one host emphasizes: "When you're overprepared, it allows you to be spontaneous and still be authentic."

For new podcasters pursuing those crucial first 100 downloads, we share actionable guerrilla marketing tactics that don't require massive budgets – from strategic business card placement to creating QR codes for in-person events. Yet we also challenge the metrics-obsessed mindset: "I wanted individuals who get real value out of this...the quality matters more than the quantity."

Perhaps most valuably, we explore what makes content inherently shareable, that elusive quality that compels listeners to tell friends about your latest episode. With research indicating 70% of podcasts are discovered through word-of-mouth, creating moments that listeners want to discuss might be your most powerful growth strategy.

Ready to transform your podcasting approach with strategies that actually work? Join our conversation, implement these insights, and watch your podcast community flourish. Share your own growth tactics in the comments – we'd love to hear what's working for you!

In this episode, we talk about the unpredictability of podcasting when things like power outages shut things down, strategies for running better interviews, and the importance of prepping your guests and your own questions. We dig into what actually makes a podcast “advanced,” swapping thoughts on whether it’s about the gear, the content, skill, style, or just deeper expertise, and debate the value and pitfalls of reading guest bios and how to make your intros less boring.

We explore why podcasting should stay fun (using Kevin Chemidlin’s rebranding example), how to analyze whether your episodes are resonating through completion stats, and why being flexible and responsive to your audience is key. We also field questions about buying email lists for podcast marketing, talk about using AI for scripting and idea generation, and share advice for podcasters who want to stand out and grow their shows, emphasizing relationships and community over shortcuts. As always, we have a ton of laughs, plenty of audience participation, and the kind of practical tips and real talk every podcaster craves.

Welcome to another engaging episode of Ask the Podcast Coach! Your hosts, Jim Collison and Dave Jackson, are back to delve into the world of podcasting with insights, anecdotes, and tips for both seasoned and budding podcasters. Today, they tackle some pressing questions: How do you measure the true impact of advertising in podcasts? What role does persistence play in achieving podcast success?

Drawing from real-world examples like LegalZoom’s ad strategy and Kurt Warner’s inspiring journey from arena football to NFL stardom, Jim and Dave highlight the importance of consistency, opportunity, and even a bit of luck. Special guest Chris Stone joins the conversation, adding depth to topics like brand awareness versus direct response in podcast ads, using personal stories to enhance content, and the struggles of maintaining audience engagement.

They also touch on how external factors, such as celebrity connections, can dramatically impact a podcast’s popularity, using the example of Kylie Kelsey’s podcast gaining traction from the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship. The importance of balancing content feedback, managing multi-platform streaming, and staying true to your brand amidst evolving media trends are also on the docket.

Expect discussions about the nuances of cryptocurrency, innovative ad examples, and the challenges smaller podcasts face in a competitive landscape. Jim and Dave even share their predictions for the future of podcasting and the role of AI in content creation.

What if you discovered a podcast you loved was never human to begin with? Our journey kicks off with the thrilling and somewhat unsettling world of AI-generated podcasts, where technology, creativity, and ethics collide. We question the authenticity of AI voices and dive into how trust is built—or broken—with listeners. Their insights challenge us to consider our own connections to digital hosts, much like our relationships with fictional TV characters, and they provide a thought-provoking look at how AI might redefine our media landscape.

Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift
Ever compared your podcasting journey to rocking out at a Bon Jovi concert? We'll take you through our trials and triumphs with streaming tools like Ecamm and StreamYard, sharing insights from our live chat audience about maintaining audio quality. Inspired by Tom Webster's "The Audience Is Listening," we dive into how truly knowing your listeners can fuel your podcast's growth. Prepare for some entertaining analogies as we liken our podcast experiences to those unforgettable moments at live concerts that leave you wanting more.

What's the secret to sustaining passion in a formulaic podcast? We reflect on the delicate balance between getting paid for podcasting and finding personal satisfaction and how staying true to one's content vision can ward off burnout. Drawing parallels with the struggles of 80s bands, we underscore the importance of persistence and constant improvement. Rounding out the discussion, we share personal anecdotes and industry insights on building relationships and networking, highlighting how connections have been a cornerstone of our podcasting journey. Join us for a rich conversation filled with practical tips, relatable stories, and a forward-looking perspective on podcasting success.

Today we are joined by Voice Over artist Jodi Krangle of VoiceOversandVocals.com check out here Audio Branding Podcast.

Dave explains that by not telling people where he will be working the tease of not knowing is causing his inbox, his phone, etc to BLOW UP. When you tease your audience it brings them to the edge of their seat. So keep a crumb of information hidden to increase that knowledge gap.

We also talk about AI and Voice Over, Jodi's tech setup, interfaces, and more (chapters provided)

Today we delve into the world of format changes in radio shows and how long to test them, comparing the trial durations with TV shows. We discuss the ins and outs of running podcast ads and the complexities of measuring their effectiveness.

From sharing anecdotes about failed experiments like the ill-fated jingle to recounting the successes of artists like Justin Timberlake, Marky Wahlberg, and members of boy bands who ventured into acting, we explore the intersection of luck, money, and hard work in achieving success. We also spotlight useful podcast tools like PodPage and Ecamm, and debate the future of platforms like StreamYard amid recent acquisitions and staff layoffs.

We touch on the importance of calls to action in your episodes, strategies for engaging your audience on YouTube, and the impact of AI on podcast production. Plus, you'll hear about notable episodes from other popular podcasts and listener experiences with starting their own shows. So, strap in and get ready for insights, advice, and a few laughs along the way as Dave and Jim guide you through another insightful episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach."

• Embrace Authenticity: Both Dave and Jim emphasize the importance of developing a consistent and genuine on-air personality. Imitating others won't resonate as well as being your true self. Authenticity draws in listeners and builds trust.

• Master the Art of Receiving Compliments: Learning to gracefully accept compliments can be challenging but is crucial for personal growth. Jim suggests saying "thank you" and making eye contact, while Dave shares personal stories of deflecting compliments with humor and the need to own his achievements.

• Enhance Your Delivery Techniques: Effective podcasting isn't just about what you say but how you say it. Utilize pitch, pauses, volume, and word stress to engage your audience fully. Dave even uses a guitar analogy to illustrate how these elements can create a more dynamic and memorable experience.

Today we talk about realistic growth of a podcast audience. I've always said the formula is

Value in Episode X Smart Promotion = Downloads

A recent episode of the Grow Your Show podcast mentioned we might want to mention audience size (social, email list, etc).

Spending money on ads is a strategy, but it relies on many different aspects to have success so you may not strike gold on your first try

Today, Dave and Jim start off by looking at the motivational forces of a podcaster. "I think you need to be about 55% passion so that you have enough, "I MUST do this, and 45% logic helps you then steer it in the right direction." You need both for success.

Also, maybe NOT start a podcast.

In this episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach," we dive into the nuances of adding enhanced content like slides to your YouTube videos. I discuss with Jim the evolving landscape of podcasting, the tricky transition from hobby to business, and the balance needed when offering personalized coaching.

We also touch on the significance of community-driven podcasting and the essence of constructive feedback. Additionally, we share our personal experiences with website migration and the tribulations of various hosting platforms. As always, we celebrate our supporters in our "wheel o' names" segment, encourage listener engagement, and humorously banter about everything from pizza pilgrimages to tight jeans, all while anticipating next week's exciting insights.

Hello everyone, Dave Jackson here, your trusty guide through the podcasting landscape, welcoming you back to another episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach." Today, we're tackling a topic that's become a bit of a thorn in the side of podcasters everywhere: Apple Podcasts Formatting Issues. I've been there, wrestling with descriptions and ensuring everything looks as sharp as an HD display, no matter the platform. Whether you're tuning in from Spotify or Apple, we've got you covered with tricks of the trade.

I'm pleased to have the ever-knowledgeable Mathew Passy joining me today. Together, we will explore the best practices for formatting, divulging our experiences with dodging those pesky issues that can make or break the listener's experience. Expect to glean insights on doubling your paragraph spaces and placing key information where it matters most.

But that's just the starting point. We've got a full slate on our hands—discussing the widgets and gadgets of the audio world. We're talking remote recording platforms, mics, media hosts, and even my own trials with the Sony ZV 1 as a webcam. It's a treasure trove of tech talk that you won't want to miss.

On today's episode, "Are Contests a Good Audience Builder?," we tackle a burning question: Are contests really the hidden gem for growing your podcast listenership, or are they just a magnet for spam and fake entries?

I'll look at some of the crucial podcasting tools out there, like the demise of Evernote, and the rise of Notejoy, and StreamYard, and we'll dissect what these platforms offer in terms of features and price points. Dave's going to fill you in on the intricate dance of dealing with explicit content in podcasts, especially for those of you hoping to go global—we've got a list of countries with specific content restrictions you'll want to hear about.

Are podcasts getting boring? The same format with the same "inspirational" story? Stories are awesome unless they are predicatable as an AC/DC song. Is it true, or does Dave just need a nap?

NOTE: The LEgal talk starts at 44:00

I put out a short yesterday that got 2000+ views where my videos get around 200 views (that is 6% of my 3000 subscribers). This did result in 2 people subscribing to my show (so .1% growth). Then I dug in a bit deeper and saw how far they watched and it was 23 out of 58 seconds (40%). That is interesting and hearbreaking.

Editing is a subjective art form that often includes the words, "It depends" when explaining how to do it. Today we start off with Ralph From AskRalph.com who shares somewhat of a nightmare he ran into when he let AI do ALL the editing. I also say AI instead of being Artificial Intelligence should be looked at as Assisted Intelligence because AI gets us 80-90% of the way there and you ALWAYS need a human to take one more pass to approve any edits.

Spotify has added audio books to their platform (great more competition for podcasts! Ugh).

We talk a little about merchandise and affiliate marketing. There is a new service that seems A LOT fishy, in Dave's opinion. The longer you podcast the more files pile up, so how do you organize them, and what do you do with them (cheap ways to backup your files).

NEW PATRON!!!

Today, we look at the topic of, "Does having an ad int your show make it more legitimate?" I hate this because there are very legitimate shows that NEVER want to monetize, and I can also see a new listener hearing and ad for Ford and thinking, Big Sponsor = Big Show.

[00:00:52] "Ecamm demo, sponsors, and podcast branding."

[00:06:35] Sent it to LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube; Ecamm is a Mac-only app for podcasting. They cater to Mac users. Spotify changes revenue share for ads. Negative press for big companies. CNN puts MP3 files on YouTube.

[00:16:07] Don't do it. Podcast vs. YouTube battle.

[00:21:05] Tool Toasty automates podcast transcription with AI. Other options include Magai, Cast Magic, and Capshoo.

[00:27:25] Jeff mentioned a new AI tool called Maghai. It allows you to save prompts in a library and costs $9. There is an affiliate link at audacitytopodcast.com/magai. Some people may be hesitant about AI, but it can be powerful and helpful.

[00:35:26] Summary: Promotion strategies include sending images, prewritten tweets, show links, and using Discord for communication. Repurposing content and making it easy for guests to share is important. Some use t-shirts and e-cards for added promotion.

[00:42:46] Send a thank you note with gift card. Promote show if interested, not pressuring.

[00:48:35] Media hosting can be expensive and resource-intensive, but there are affordable options like Red Circle, Lipsyn, Buzzsprout, and Captivate. Some hosts may require a dedicated server or charge higher fees for popular shows. It's generally recommended to use a media host, although it's not necessary. Red Circle offers free hosting with good customer service, while other hosts may have limitations and additional charges.

[00:54:37] "Pod ops: podcast hosting with all-in-one tools."

[01:02:42] Sure MVX 2U is a new USB microphone by Sure that offers clean gain and the ability to save settings. It can be used with any non-USB microphone. Lipson allows users to use their own domain for a fee.

[01:06:31] Free podcasting tips, software, and equipment recommendations.

[01:13:06] Video game buyer prefers simple racing experience. Editor uses new Streamyards feature successfully. Randy asks about Sony VZ camera. User finds Sony camera inconvenient for streaming. Considering alternatives for YouTube videos. Regrets camera depreciation after new models released. Apologies for lateness, promises improvement next time.

[01:16:23] There's no one way to podcast.

This episode covered a wide range of topics, from recommendations vs feed drops to event experiences, audio engineering, and more. Here are three key takeaways that I think will be valuable for you:

The Power of Clear Communication: As podcast hosts, it's crucial to provide clear information about your show's theme or target audience. This helps potential guests understand the interview questions better, leading to more engaging and insightful conversations.

Navigating the Event Landscape: The episode delves into the speaker's experiences attending various conferences and events. They highlight the advantages of smaller, more intimate gatherings, such as Indipodcon in New Jersey. Smaller events foster meaningful connections and conversations, unlike larger conferences, which can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Feed Drops for Promoting Podcasts: Dave explains the concept of feed drops, where podcasters share an episode from another show on their own platform. We discuss two options: playing the entire episode or providing a host-read endorsement and linking to the episode. Feed drops can be a great way to collaborate and introduce your audience to new content.

Today someone asked, "

Can I protect my rights to a podcast if I do the podcast for the company I work for? My boss wants me to start a podcast for work. Under the slim chances this podcast gets big & starts to generate revenue, how do I protect my rights to it? I'm the host, I'm creating the content, I came up with the idea, the name, etc. We haven't started recording it yet, so I'm just trying to get ahead of the ball here. Not sure if I need to lawyer up or write a contract or what. Has anyone been through something similar?

We answer those questions and many others. Leave your question at www.askthepodcastcoach.com/ask
