episode 10: Podcasting For Goodness' Sake
Things aren’t great. But you could use your podcasting powers for good and help worthy causes better tell their stories. (And still have plenty of time to a podcasting powerhouse!)
episode 11: Fighting Against The Hateful Side Of Podcasting
No one is shocked that hate speech exists in podcasting. Removing it, however, is quite a difficult task. But it doesn’t have to be. If we’re brave enough to make some tough choices when we find it.
episode 12: Solving Podcasting's Linear Listening Problem
Podcasters tend to obsess over “discoverability”. But a bigger problem might be impenetrability, a problem that neither the podcast media hosts or the apps listeners use are helping to solve. Yet.
episode 13: Are Video Podcasts Back From The Dead?
Beyond a few pockets of interestingness, video podcasting never really became a thing, and audio reigned supreme. But all of that could change in the ‘20s, and it’s the pandemic’s fault.
episode 14: How Do Podcasters Recapture The Ones That Got Away?
Not everyone who listens to your podcast is going to like your podcast. In fact, most people who listen won't like your podcast. At least not enough to ever download another episode. How can we use that reality to our advantage?
episode 15: Confronting Your Podcast's Avatar From The Inside
If you make a podcast for everyone, you’ve made it for no one. So you focus, carefully defining your avatar. But in your refinement, you might have left out an important voice by mistake.
episode 16: Correcting Your Authentic Podcasting Voice
No rational person thinks putting on pants and brushing your hair before leaving the house is inauthentic. Your podcasting voice is no different, and it might need some preening before it goes public.
episode 17: Getting The Podcasting Band Back Together Again
Podcasting is often considered a solo venture, though the biggest podcasts tend to have teams of people behind their success. With the bottom falling out of commercial real estate, dedicated podcasting co-working spaces may be coming.
episode 18: Podcasting Conversations Worth Fighting Over
Some podcasting relationships turn sour and lead to an argument. Or several arguments. “Winning” isn’t dependent on your ability to argue. It’s about understanding the least acceptable outcome.
episode 19: Surviving The Balkanization Of Podcasting
The decentralized nature of podcasting has made it resilient for 16 years. But with countries threatening to block tech and media companies they deem a threat, the ramifications for us could be dire.
