The pace of change the podcast industry is undergoing is staggering. The implications for podcasters, hosting providers, podcast listening app developers, and advertisers and agencies are enormous. And so is the growth potential. Presented as a companion to the weekly newsletter of the same name, our podcast provides you with direct access to our narrated articles, interviews with industry experts, bleeding-edge research, and can't miss industry news recaps. That Sounds Profitable, right? Assumptions and conventional wisdom will be challenged. Easy answers with no proof of efficacy will be exposed. Because the thinking that got podcast advertising close to a billion dollars annually will need to be drastically overhauled to bring in the tens or hundreds of billions of dollars podcast advertising deserves.

episode 16: The Podscape! w/ John Goforth and Cameron Hendrix
The podcasting advertising landscape is ever changing. Even the most recent map that I helped work on with the help of Magellan AI is already in need of updates. But that’s the goal of the Podscape.

Building your podcast towards DAI is easy, and should be on everyones mind. Heather Osgood speaks with me on the subject, and we talk about why DAI is the right way to go.Key Links:

episode 14: Spotify Is Not Going to Kill Podcasting w/ Nick Hilton
Spotify isn’t ending the world. They’re acquiring quite a few properties, and are obviously big and imposing on the landscape, but I believe that they’re not actively killing the podcasting dream. But how far they have to go to do that is open to debate. A debate we have on this episode.Key Links:

episode 2: The Provenance of Podcasting
This week, I have an early candidate for the Real Heroes of Podcasting Hero of the Year (RHOPHOTY), and the most interesting-yet-largely-ignored-by-podcasters news story of the past couple of weeks.
