Podcasts greatest impact is from their clips that are distributed on social media. IMO, young men don’t have the attention span for the whole thing. They scan through it or are doing 5 different things while they listen
Podcasts were only indirectly relevant. IMO, it was the non-stop, algorithmically driven, reinforcement of the echo chambers we all step into on social media. Young men of any demo were not going to see clips of Kamala Harris in between clips of sports, cars, fantasy football and girls. Even if she did Rogan, TheoVonn, NelkBoys, etc Trump clips would make it in that mix SOME, because the topics like the assasination attempts and things guys were more interested in

Bonus Ep RSS feed only - Rob Walch interviewed on The Long Short Way.

Per Ep 93 of the feed - here is an example of an episode added to the Feeds Feed via the enclosure tag sent from the host of The Long Short Way.

The process of adding in an episode to your libsyn feed - where the media file is delivered from another account is as follows:

Select "Add New Text Post" under Content
Add in the Title / Subtitle / Description you want.
Go to Schedule / Release Expiration - then Advanced Tab. Deselect All destinations and then pick just the RSS feed destination.
Go to Advanced Options and in the "Extra Tags" box add in the Enclosure tag provided by the other host - it MUST be the full enclosure tag and not just the URL for the media file.
Click Publish

That is really all it takes to add in a bonus episode in your feed that is being delivered from another users account.

Google Play Music and podcasts!!!

Breaking the news about Google Play Music supporting podcasting is a good way to start a day. Good times.

We open the show with a conversation between Rob Walch and Elias Roman, a products’ manager from Google Play Music.

Google Play Music helps connect people with the perfect soundtrack for whatever they’re doing

For Google it is about taking something you’re doing in the real world and helping you do it better - this time with podcasting.

I love that their strategy is to curate and offer podcasts out to those that might not know about podcasts.

AND these were perhaps one of my favorite quotes from Elias:

“More about the right thing finding people”

“The right podcast in front of the right people at the right time”

I like that.

And Rob, did a great job of asking the key questions that podcasters would be interested in - you are good podcaster you are. ;)

IMPORTANT FOLLOW UP NOTES / CLARIFICATIONS about Google Play Music and your podcast 1. Google Play Music with podcasts will be US only at the start. 2. At the beginning, it will be just Android only - then followed shortly thereafter by iOS and web browsers. 3. Elias said they do not change the file - but he wanted to make it clear - they do re-encode the file - just like Stitcher and Spotify. They do not change the content at all, which includes, inserting ads into it or cutting it apart. 4. Finally, 1200 x 1200 is fine for the image - anything above that is fine, but not at all necessary. Your 1,400 x 1,400 images are great - as will be your 3,000 x 3,000 or any square in between. And as mentioned you can even go up to 7,000 x 7,000 - but if you do anything over 3,000 x 3,000 you must go with the libsyn GPM destination if you are hosting with us - and not your main feed.

In Libsyn there will now be a GPM (Google Play Music) destination. As I mentioned in the interview if you are hosting with Libsyn you should have a Google Play Music destination available for you.

Why do you want to use your new Libsyn Google Play Destination over say your regular one?

It means you have better control over your content and you can determine on a per episode basis which episodes go to which destinations and when.
It gives you better control over the description and meta data.
GPM does have some specific tags. There is a Googleplay author tag - a google play email tag - a google play image tag - a google play description tag - a google play explicit tag and a google play block tag. All that is taken care of from within the Libsyn destination.
Google Play Music is supporting the top level categories from iTunes, but not down at the sub-categories. If Google decides to add or remove categories, we will be able to make those changes to keep lock step with any Google changes.
You can do some A/B testing - release one episode with a specific call to action to one feed and another to the other feed - and see where you get the best results.

The simple guide to adding your Google Play Music Destination in your Libsyn account 1. Go to “Destinations” in your libsyn account 2. Select “Add New” 3. Select “Google Play Music” 4. Fill in the info on that form and upload your artwork - making sure to add in your email address. 5. Click Save 6. Copy your new RSS feed for Google Play Music 7. Go to - g.co/podcastportal and submit your RSS feed. 8. Verify ownership! 9. After you’ve submitted your RSS feed, review the email address used to verify ownership of your podcast. 10. Click Send verification code. 11. Check the email account listed for your verification email. 12. Visit the link included in the email to complete the verification process.

If you go to the google site http://g.co/podcastportal site there will be some documents to help you and inform.

There will be one on Explicit content and Content conduct. Both are pretty straight forward and common sense.

Essentially like iTunes if the content is explicit - make sure you label it as such - and Google even gets into more details on what is “explicit.”

Anyone have any other questions about Google Play Music and podcasting? Or about the new Libsyn Google Play Music destination?

We will be recording Episode 58 of The Feed this upcoming Friday October 30, so send us your question as soon as you can!!!

Full comment re: Adam Carolla: "The Mark Maron and Adam Carolla piece really concerned me. Carolla showed how little he knows about patent litigation - which is a surprise, given his situation.

There is no “loophole” being exploited, as they claimed several times. This is exactly how it works in the U.S. where you can own a patent like any other piece of property. You don’t have to be the inventor and you don’t have to actually create anything based on the patent.

Typically, patent trolls are entities who buy patents from patent holders (usually the inventor, but not necessarily) for the express purpose of squeezing license fees out of others. It’s not extortion. It’s how the law works.

In this case, the patent holder is the inventor, which is why some feet the “troll” moniker is a little forced in this case.

Carolla seems to think our collective indignation gives us the power to prevail in this case. Maybe it makes him feel better, but that’s not how its done.

There are two main routes to a solution: (1) Winning the court case, typically by invalidating the patent (arguing prior art or that the idea is an obvious extension of something else), or (2) enacting legislation that removes the plaintiff’s ability (or desire) to prosecute.

That’s it. Running around saying “this is terrible” is wasted energy unless it’s directed at those two paths above.

Oh, and the reason for the case being tried in that East Texas Court is that they have a long history of being pro-plaintiff in patent litigation. Some Troll companies have even set up offices there to be close to the Court. Every good Patent Troll knows to bring suit there because the success rate is high and so are the awards.

Don’t get me wrong - I believe the patent system in the U.S. is seriously broken, and we podcasters, like many others, are feeling the pain of that. But if you want to do something effective to change that, either send your money to the EFF or lobby your Federal representatives to change patent law, or both.

Moaning about how wrong it is will not accomplish anything. We have to play the game to change the game."

The Uglee Truth
Pizza Beer Revolution
The Ramen Noodle: Clean Comedy Podcast
EMTF Podcast

In order to break things down a little bit, I’ve split the podcasts into three groups. At the beginning of each set of snippets I will introduce the podcasts and give you a little detail of what’s coming up, so at least you know what to expect!

Let’s get going with the first 3

Saturday Morning Theater Saturday Morning Media is your one stop shop for new, family friendly audio and video new media content by the creator of The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd, Saturday Morning Media aims to bring the magic back to Saturday Mornings!

This snippet was recorded at the Long Beach Comic Con this week! and it’s a super special Thanksgiving episode which is live as of Wednesday.

Reality Check with Craig Price Alan Cerny (@nordlingAICN on twitter) and host Craig Price give their annual holiday movie preview. The two cover their anticipated movies as well as identify traditional December Oscar Bait!

Daily Adventure Tales that encourages retired boomers to reinvent and reinvigorate their lives through trying something new every day

Featuring an opener by Donna Libra - Thanksgiving
Hiking and Thanksgiving Interview with Carl at Deukmejian Wilderness Park in Glendale California.
Skype call with her mom, where she does a Thanksgiving Poem, “The Night of Thanksgiving”, but not before giving Laurie her usual mom-like advice.
Laurie’s husband, and podcast helper, Mark wishes everyone a good holiday and wraps the podcast as usual.

Down These Mean Streets It’s the show’s Thanksgiving Episode which went live on November 24th.

Down These Mean Streets presents classic detectives from the Golden Age of Radio. Each week, they spotlight one of the best detectives of the era (Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, The Saint, Nero Wolfe, and many more).

Along with the show, they share some of the behind the scenes history of the series and their stars. In their Thanksgiving episode, they’ve got a holiday adventure of Sam Spade from 1950, “The Terrified Turkey Caper.”

Jim1537’s Metaphysical Tools For Transformation A podcast where Jim and his wife Meremystic offer metaphysical and spiritual tools that help people heal and transform their lives.

The Uglee Truth Sisters who decided to venture into the uncharted territory of pod-casting, to see if they’re the only one in on their jokes. They’ll make you giggle and agree – at least once – with girls who have absolutely no filter before speaking.

No Fear, No Filter!!

They name names. They don’t sugar-coat it. The Taylor Swift of the podcasting world. Did you burn the bridge? Were you nice? Do you remember? Are you scared? Listen to find out!

The snippet is involves chatter about Thanksgiving which turns into a Black Friday rant. Please note…there is a bit of colorful language in this bit, so if you have young ears listening maybe skip the next 7 min?

Pizza Beer Revolution They have and A side and a B side to this thing!

So the A side, which releases on Monday: Is Three friends, Mike Pullano (Host of NY Rangers Blueshirt Buzz), Chris Ippolito (Lead Singer of Chapterfive) & Joe Maffei (Pro Snowboarder), get together once a week, invite a guest over and order a pizza. (YUM!)

While they are waiting for the pizza and guest to arrive, they discus HOW the revolution will be televised - scratch that - podcasted.

They will thrill and delight you with hysterical anecdotes, awesome-sauce music and semi-intelligent conversation on a wide range of topics. These guys are just trying to make it all happen and not get eaten by the machine… whatever that machine may be.

B-Side, Thursday Morning Release: When the guest and pizza finally arrives. They enjoy the pizza & beer with the guest. Finding out what makes their guest tick. The interview is based on the topics discussed on the A side. Episode Description: The B-Side of Episode 9 with Holly Migliaccio from Rook Coffee Roasters. The guys invite Holly Migliaccio over to the dining room to discuss why she’s most like a Live Southern Ale, what lead to her jumping ship from the corporate world & how the idea of starting a coffee chain revolutionized her life.

The Ramen Noodle: Clean Comedy Podcast Seasoning packets of clean comedy to flavor your day.

LOVE that, so succinct!

And the little snippet that we will hear is 10 Black Friday deals that SHOULD happen, and you’ll hear Daniel J. Lewis and Jeremy Laughlin. A small summary of the episode: 10 Black Friday deals that should

ETMF Podcast ETMF Podcast is the one stop podcast for all things pop culture. They are masters of “the segue way”, the ETMF podcast crew will talk about anything and everything. TV, movies, music, video games, interwebs tomfoolery, they’ve got you covered.

I Heard That Was Good Where Tim and Carson talk about movies you forgot were about Thanksgiving. It’s one of those that you go “Oh yeah….remember that movie?” I totally said that about the movie Scent of a Woman, mentioned by these guys :)

Swiftcast - A Taylor Swift Podcast By Fans, For Fans Fully dedicated to keeping up with Taylor Swift’s amazing daily news, but also equally as dedicated to keeping up with what’s going on in the Fan community aka Swifties.

And this little snippet is a fan cast at it’s best, it’s all about why they are thankful for the mighty Taylor Swift.

iTunes SEO Jonathan from the Foreign Filmcast could not find The Feed in iTunes, so he ended up googling it and found it that way.

Did a little bit of research and I asked via social media if we could get some of our community to search for the feed in iTunes and we got an array of responses, so this is what I noticed:

If you search for The Feed and hit enter we are nowhere to be found.
If you search for The Feed in the search box, the little drop down list that comes up does have us on there twice.
There are what I think THOUSANDS of people that use ‘the’ + ‘feed’ in their title ie all the people from Blog Talk Radio - the blog talk radio feed, Linux Reality Podcast mp3 feed, etc.
There are also a ton of apps that use The Feed in their title or in their description.

-Elsie

What really matters in iTunes search * The title of the show * How many all time subscribers all time. * That’s it!

Replacing an existing file in Libsyn. The way that works the quickest when replacing a file is to FTP the file up to your libsyn “dropbox” FTP folder - and make sure the new version has the identical file name as the original including CASE. That will overwrite the original with in a few minutes. And the stats will just continue on.

If you use the “replace” option in the UI - it could take a few hours for the new version to propagate out to the 40+ nodes around the world.

-Rob

Why should you publish to your libsyn feed There are a few tutorials out there that recommend you upload files and select the option file for download only - these tutorials are ALL wrong and giving you bad advice. PERIOD.

Even if you don’t use or ever plan to use the Libsyn feeds or extra services like the smartphone apps or HTML 5 player or website or cross-posting to Wordpress or Blogger - or any other of the great services Libsyn offers - there is one service ALL Libsyn podcasters will want to be part of and that is our directory - directory.libsyn.com - and ALL those tutorials that say just to select file for download only when you upload a file - are for lack of a better phrase - screwing you over on the PR side.

Unless you publish to your libsyn RSS feed - your show will NOT repeat not show up in directory.libsyn.com and that is the same directory that powers our facebook app And well soon we will be talking more why it is even really important to be listed in that directory.

But for now if you are one that selects file for download only - well you are shooting yourself in the foot - and note publishing to your libsyn feed - where you add a title and description - does not change how any of those tutorials will work. If you would like instructions on how you can have all of your meta data imported over automatically for all your past episodes - shoot me an email rob@libsyn.com

Changing of ownership of feed: The original owner from the registered email would first cancel out their subscription in billing.

Then emails support@libsyn.com - and tells them the email address they want to give ownership over to.

And then support assigns the new email and deletes out the old email - and the new owner logs in and updates the billing.

What cities are in the city part of Libsyn stats - or how granular do we go There are 210 DMA’s - which is why if any one looks at their city stats - you would see 211 listed if you look all time - and have a decent following. The 211’th is Unknown - no all requests come in with City level info.

How to update your feed in Stitcher Anyone needing to update their RSS feed will need to send Stitcher the new feed. Quick email to content@stitcher.com with the new address and it will be swapped out!

Setting up a podcast station on your iOS device Click on My Stations at the bottom of the Podcasts app. Then tap “New Station” upper right.

Then give the station a title - and then select the shows from the list of shows you are subscribed to - and yes you do need to be subscribed to the show as it only gives you the options for shows from the list of your subscriptions in the podcasts app.

In iTunes 11.1 - there is now support for syncing your Podcast station info to iCloud and sharing between devices. So you can start listening the Feed on the car ride home on your iPhone and then finish listening later in bed on your iPad.

If you have a segment that you would like to submit to me, something that will benefit the podcasting community as a whole, either something you learned or something that has worked for you, please send it along.

It can be hardware, software reviews, your podcasting workflow or possibly promotional ideas that have really helped you grow your audience that you feel would help all of us.

Email your contributions to thefeed(at)libsyn(dot)com

If you are a Libsyn podcaster and want to be featured in our Rockin’ Libsyn Podcasts blog series all you have to do is email thefeed(at)libsyn(dot)com.

Send them into thefeed(at)libsyn(dot)com!

Some Elsie feedback about sending in your promos

Leave your podcast name and URL when sending in your promos…or any communication for that matter!

Make sure when you send in your show promo, your name and your show are prominently shown in the email, as well as a link back to your website or any other social media properties that you’d like to share with us.

This makes it super easy for me to connect with you and PROMOTE you. I do my best to link back to you in as many

I’ve been getting people that have been sending me promos that have no URL anywhere, no email signature and the email address that it comes from doesn’t help PLUS the name they’ve named the promo in no way helps to tell me what the podcast is either.

It would make my life easier if you could simply offer that information

Libsyn Power Tips How to get two different Media players from your one libsyn account Rob has 2 media players on Podcast411 and today in iOS.

If you go to Podcast411.com right now you will see a big player top center - with the artwork for Rich Eisens Podcast (at the time of this writing) - that is his show level player - it has in the artwork and it keeps up to date whenever he publishes a new episode.

He doesn’t do anything to update it.

If you scroll down you will see the episode level players - those stay fixed per the episode they are assigned.

How you get both is the following.

First you set up the player you want for the episode level. You do that by checking out this support article.

Get the size and type you want - then copy the embed code and paste to your site.

Next - Set up the player you want for the per episode posts. And leave it set there.

Then when you publish your next episode at the end after you hit publish you will get the embed code for just that episode - per the size / type you set up.

But wherever you previously embedded the Show level player - it will continue to update to show the most recent episode.

URL’s To Use when Direct Linking Sometime on websites or twitter we will see people linking to their files but with the wrong URL.

They will be using the URL - where their file redirects to. For example it may be -

http://ec.libsyn.com/….

http://hwcdn.libsyn.com….

Those are the wrong URL’s to use - they are temp URL’s - and can and WILL break in the future.

The URL you want to use for direct links to your media files is

http://traffic.libsyn.com/YOURSLUG/FILENAME

If you check your links and it is not traffic after the http:// - you are doing it wrong.

It also can effect your stats - as in not getting counted.

The real issue is anything other than the traffic link is a temp URL - and will in the future break - not that it may break - it WILL BREAK.

Will using your city’s name in your podcast episode get you in trouble? Per Rob’s email below:

“Hi Rob, this evening I went to a community meeting in Inglewood I go to every month. They love the concept of my radio show. But the block club president suggests I should call the councilman in the city or speak to the city legal lawyer to find out if it’s OK to use Inglewood in my title. Only word I know is registered is Realtor(r) what do you suggest I do to verify its OK. thank you for your time”

Read this article. The second letter in the article sums it up nicely.

In other words - just use Inglewood in your show’s name. And if anyone gives you grief - send them the link above.

Feed not updating in iTunes This next one is an issue regarding those using Feedburner and a problem with the Podcasts App.

A Libsyn user was having problems when listeners tapped to download an episode in the Podcasts App - It streamed fine - but it would not download into the app.

It would give an error and time out.

We figured out it was not the Libsyn feed - as putting that in direct to the Podcasts App worked fine. It wound up being the person was using Smartcast and Stats for Feedburner.

When they turned those items off - Then the downloads started up fine.

So if you are using Feedburner - check your show in the Podcasts App and see if you can get it to download, if not make sure to deselect all the smartcast and stats options in Feedburner - which you really don’t need anyway if you have Libsyn as your source feed.

That issue would be for anyone using Feedburner regardless of where you host or what your source feed is - there is something going on with the Podcasts App - that does not like smartcast and stats options in Feedburner.

Libsyn social media community conversations

Do you have a #podcasting ritual before you record your #podcast? You know something you do every single time you do your thing?

— libsyn (@libsyn) July 19, 2013

You can find a deeper conversation over here on Facebook. Let us know what YOUR ritual is if you haven’t had a chance :)

In summation: Podcasters like to drink (preferably something that in some way alters the nervous system) and eat as a way to prepare for podcasting :)

Rob Walch Shares How To Podcast 100% from An iOS Device Via Rob Walch:

One of the biggest trends we have seen in the past couple of years at Libsyn is the consumption of podcast episodes directly to mobile devices.

In April 2012 i 43% of all downloads were to mobile devices. In June it was almost 54% of all downloads. That trend line is not slowing down any time soon.

For many people their iOS device has become their main computing device. Not just where they consume content but where they also want to create it.

You can create an audio podcast in MP3 format on an iOS device and upload it to your Libsyn account - even having it go live instantly on your Libsyn feed.

Part of what makes it so easy is one Libsyn feature many Libsyn users may not know about - but has been there since the early days. It is called our quickcast feature.

The quickcast feature allows you to take an MP3 file and upload it via FTP to your Libsyn account into your folder called quickcast. Once the file is placed in that folder our system will pull the Name and Description from the ID3 tags and use them for the name and description in the post - and automatically make it live on your feed and your other destinations - like your smartphone apps, or your libsyn blog page or Wordpress or Blogger pages if you have them set up.

Of course to do this you need an App that supports a few key features - Exporting as an MP3 file via FTP and where you can edit the ID3 tags before exporting. And luckily for libsyn users there is such an app - it is called Bossjock - it is $9.99 and it was created by one of the original founders of Libsyn.

It is also the only App in the App store that supports these features.

There is also a good mic for iOS devices call the iRig MIC Cast mic - this plugs right into the headphone port on your iOS device. This mic gives very good quality and only cost $39.

Brief overview of the work flow for creating a podcast episode with the Bossjock app.

Open the boss jock app and tap the lock symbol to turn on the mic and tap the record button to start recording.
Once done recording - swipe the bar at the bottom to pause and then tap finish.
Add a name for the file - no spaces and tap save.
Go to recording then tap on your episode and add the title you want for your post title - spaces are ok. And add a description of the episode. Then tap Export
Select MP3, mono, and move the slider so it shows 64 kbps for the bit rate and then tap FTP.
Enter your FTP server info which is ftp://ftp.libsyn.com/YOURSLUG/quickcast - Then enter your email and password for your libsyn account and tap upload.

Leveraging what you already have to grow your audience Via Elsie:

One of the biggest concerns that I’ve seen out there in podcaster land, and something that is mentioned right along monetizing your podcast all the time, is growing your audience aka getting more listeners.

One way that I’d love to address this is by being totally transparent about the growth of this podcast as well as sharing what we have been doing in order to get the word out about it. Just because we happen to be a company doesn’t instantly make our podcast famous at all :)

Here’s how I’m gonna do it. I’ll disclose download numbers + tactics and also include events that might influence download numbers as well as strategy.

There was an article by jay fleischman that I shared and quoted from in the last episode of The Feed which said “searching in iTunes is akin to looking for a lost pair of floaties in the Atlantic Ocean”. He also drove home the point that in order to get more listeners you have to leverage what you already got.

This is super important.

And it also helps you to keep your podcast growth in perspective.

I believe this is a key competent that is often overlooked by podcasters, especially now days, as there is a ton of hype coming from the internet marketing and internet business folks that have newly (and by newly I mean in the past couple of years) discovered podcasting and are currently focusing very vocally on iTunes as THE way to get all the amazing benefits that come with podcasting, you know…expanding your reach, establishing yourself as an expert, creating super duper relationships with your audience, etc.

I will address iTunes SEO in another episode, which is certainly important.

I will share what I know, what I personally have experienced in these past 6 years as well as what I have researched, but it is NOT, and I am now capitalizing NOT the be all and end all of YOUR audience, nor the only reason that your podcast succeeds.

I am incredibly partial to podcasting as a medium both for personal expression and a business strategy. I believe that there is an x factor to the success of a podcast that makes it super challenging to measure by standard measurement guidelines, particularly those that have to do with download numbers. and other types of analytics.

I can’t even begin to count how many times I have told a podcaster that is searching for concrete measurement standards of success that I’ve said “It depends.”

Sharing the journey of The Feed, I’ll let you in on some concrete numbers but also those things that are not quite measurable that are unique to us.

So let’s get started by going back addressing that point that is often forgotten - What have we already got?

Or how did we or are we leveraging what we have to grow The Feed.

Leverage point number 1: Our company hosts media for podcasts, our clients are content creators, a large part which are exclusively podcasters SO in launching The Feed we didn’t have to deal with one of the most challenging aspects of launching a podcast which was explaining what a podcast was

Just to be safe, I’ll say that 99.9% of our optimal audience already knows what a podcast is and how to go about subscribing, listening, etc.

Remember, I’m talking about leveraging what we have not what we could have, which means reaching out potential content creators and budding podcasters.

So putting the fact that we are a podcasting company with Leverage point number 2, that we had an existing and consistent social media presence made it easy for us to reach out to our community, which is our target audience and THE reason that we are creating this podcast, and at least make them aware of our podcast.

In terms of our social media presence. We currently have 2183 twitter followers and 1347 FB likes. At any given time, in my guestimation when we post anything we’ll be seen by about 10% of our connections.

I’ve also been slowly building little connections and relationships for over 3 years through our social media properties as well as our blog.

We don’t have huge numbers in social media but we do have a core group that do engage with us at at minimum actively listen.

Leverage point number 3: Our reputation and superstars

Libsyn has been in the podcasting industry since November 2004. Our name inevitably comes up in podcasting conversation and for the most part we are mentioned in a positive light.

Our VP of Podcaster Relations, the guy that is in the trenches with podcasters and continues to be a podcast advocate Rob Walch has been podcasting since December 2004. His Podcast411 was the first podcast about podcasting.

So Libsyn’s reputation as well as Rob’s name also has a level of effect on whether people take an initial step into our podcast.

Notice that in those 3 Leverage points I did not mention iTunes.

Even with those leverage points that are pretty good wouldn’t you think? It’s not enough to tweet out once or even put up a FB post one time and expect a wave of subscribers.

I did my best to reach out to our audience via our social media channels in a way that offered value to those that chose to listen.

I made sure to capitalize on the topics that we were covering, tagged people that were mentioned, showcased people whose knowledge we shared by creating specific images that we could share via all our social media channels including new platforms such as Instagram.

I created a promo videos about our episode to support folks stumbling on our podcast, and we shared the episode in a variety of ways:

We linked directly to our MP3 file using our OnPublish feature for both Twitter + FB.

We linked to the libsyn podcast page, which is at thefeed.libsyn.com/podcast

We also linked straight to the episode show notes post

AND to our page in iTunes.

All of this has been done consistently and sporadically during the past 6 weeks.

And where has it got us?

The Feed stats as of July 25, 2013 We have had 447 downloads of episode 1.

We have had in 925 all time downloads of both of our episodes (as there is an episode 0) and get this, this is SUPER cool because this in no way is supported by iTunes OR even those that are subscribed to our podcast.

Out of those 925 download 99 of them are for the promos post that I did for our blog!

I quickly edited together the three promos that we had last episode into a small little file which I did not publish to The Feed’s feed, but only to the libsyn blog page.

That’s super cool! LOVE that. That means that almost 100 people have listened to those promos! sweet!

Adding podcaster clients to the mix, we did have the cool factor of being New and Noteworthy in iTunes as well as being featured on Stitcher. Which we are super thankful for and happy about :)

I’ll continue to share the growth of the podcast, our tactics, plus how we are leveraging what we already have to continue to serve our community!

Women in Podcasting article from @Marinaisgo aka Marina Rose Martinez

“Here you can find a compilation of the best and brightest the female podcasting scene has to offer! It’s a list that’s growing all the time.” * Why Podcasting Is The Perennial Also-Ran

"The problem is you can’t find a podcast to save your life.

Ever go through the iTunes podcast directory and look for something? It’s akin to looking for a pair of lost floaties in the Atlantic Ocean.

Apple, the 800-pound gorilla of the podcasting marketplace, has an awful search capability. Other podcasting directories languish in obscurity, many simply disappearing for lack of use.

Services such as Stitcher help you identify shows you may find interesting, but for niche areas such as bankruptcy law and consumer protection issues it’s just not up to the task.

You could go to Google and do a search, but that’s not much help either because the audio content can’t be parsed out by the algorithm (yet).

Which means the only way you’re going to get people to listen to your podcast is by leveraging what you’ve already got."

A bit of clarification from our conversation:

If you use our HTML 5 media player in Safari on an iOS device - it shows up as “AppleCoreMedia” in our stats - However AppleCoreMedia is not just Media Players in Safari - it is also the Podcasts app and other apps as well.

If you click on the URL from Safari - and it opens up the mobile quicktime player then it shows up as “safari” in our stats.
