All Things Audio

#clubhouse #podcasting #socialaudio

This week Madalyn and Suze are joined by Morgan Evetts and Michael Sterling to talk about Clubhouse’s arrival on the web, and the possibility of payment proposals for the app. We also discuss some podcast stats that show a third of US adults listen to podcasts on YouTube - which prompts a discussion about video podcasting and how to define a video podcast. Plus social audio, podcasting or both? As The Verge reveals podcast creation dropped in 2022, we talk about whether social audio could have had a hand in that. Links mentioned during the show...

Madalyn and Suze are back and discussing what 2023 will hold for social audio. With big hitters like Spotify pulling out of live audio and LinkedIn seemingly stuck without recording features, will 2023 be he year of the independent social audio app? Clubhouse is piling in the features but do users want them all? and as Rooms, Clubs and Houses get loaded with features how do we work out what does what! Meanwhile, Spaces went away but came back and while it seems Elon is backing the feature overall, the loss of captions and clips makes us wonder what Spaces will end up being this time next year.

This week Madalyn and Suze lament the loss of Twitter Moments. The feature was withdrawn minutes before this week’s All Things Audio space went live. Discussion focusses on Elon Musk’s latest appearance on Spaces and his his Tweet which seems to back social audio on the platform. There’s also news of Spaces being recommended on desktop, Facebook introducing audio channels for groups and a great discussion with long-time Spaces host Bobbi Bicker who reveals how she started with Spaces and how she has built an active community around a regular Twitter Space.

Another lively Space this week as Madalyn and Suze discuss the reasons why Elon might keep or kill Twitter Spaces. Many of the known faces who were designing, building and fixing Twitter’s social audio offering are no longer employed by the platform. So what does the Chief Twit have in store for it?

We also catch up with @audiomentor Michael Sterling and hear about Clubhouse’s response to the Twittergeddon. Houses could be coming out of beta soon - but are they ready?
