Designed for the working podcaster, these short-form episodes get you thinking about the future of podcasting and how you can better prepare yourself -- and your shows -- for the future.

episode 231: Podcasting is Better Than TV. Film At 11.
A recent ad campaign from Spotify would have us believe that the best shows aren't on TV. The implication is that they’re on Spotify. But in reality, they mean the best shows are podcasts.
episode 230: Are Podcast Apps Part Of Podcasting's Problems?
A healthy and varied system of podcast listening apps should be healthy for podcasting. Well... assuming they all provide at least a similar user experience. But in many key ways, they don't. Why is that?
episode 229: Angling for Titles That Are More Than Just The Topic
If the most interesting thing about your podcast episode is the name of your guest… it's probably not a very interesting episode. Here's why you need to think more about your angle and your title for your episodes.
episode 228: Less Old White Men In Podcasting's Future
I have been podcasting since October 2004, so clearly you should listen to me. But I'm also an old white guy. So in the future, maybe you'll stop listening to me? I’m OK with that.
episode 227: Podcasting Spins Off Something Brand New
The big shift in media caused by podcasting is finally underway. And while we all may be marching mostly in the same direction right now, we'll likely see more than a few spin-offs in the years to come.
episode 226: Betting On Bits For Better Podcasting
Robots are coming for our jobs in podcasting. Well, at least my job in podcasting. Actually though... only some of my job in podcasting. But here's why I think that's a good thing for all of us in podcasting.
episode 225: Surviving The Cold War Of Podcast Advertising
Will podcast advertising ever get a seat at the grown-up table alongside print, radio, television, and digital? Or are we stuck in obscurity and novelty forever, while the real money is spent elsewhere?
episode 224: A Future Reckoning For The Podcast Ad Bubble
I don't think advertisers are ever going to get completely out of podcasting. But I do think there's a reckoning coming for podcast advertising... and it might sting all of us.
episode 223: Solving Future Podcast Discovery Problems
The future of podcast discovery is bright; but only because the present of podcast discovery really sucks. But before you cheer too much for the future of podcast discovery, it might be a bit more dystopian than you want.
episode 222: Exploring Podcasting's Cost-Free Future
You say “free hosting” like it's a bad thing. And, sure, it mostly is today. But what happens when one major player in our space switches to FREE? It’s going to make a lot of current podcasting business models obsolete.
