How is Tik Tok getting away with playing music yet I was banned for life from Soundcloud? Breaking down the players that make your podcast visible and what they aren't willing to do for you.

Podcasting is proving to finally be a business's winning tool. I got into podcasting in 2010 because as a radio companies production director I was searching for newer ways to promote business success. My larger-than-life broadcast company literally said to me, "I don't know what you're doing but don't stop." Today it's evolved into the very vision I had 16 years ago. Plus... are we getting too personal on our podcasts? Taylor Swift's entire love life is present, can hosts do the same?

Pod Crashing episode 502 with Michael Easter host of the podcast Two Percent. New York Times bestselling author and journalist Michael Easter comes a twice-weekly deep dive into the science of living better by doing things the hard way. Building on the insights of his #1 Substack and acclaimed books, Easter balanc rigorous evidence with a healthy dose of skepticism to cut through the noise of the modern wellness industry. Whether he's interviewing elite explorers and Harvard biologists or deconstructing the truth about longevity and metabolic health, this isn't a show for "biohacking" perfectionists-it's a grounded, often humorous guide for real people looking to build resilience and agency in an increasingly comfortable world. From ancient wisdom to cutting-edge research, listen to Two Percent to discover why the antidote to modern malaise is often found in the challenges we've been taught to avoid.Episodes available here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-two-percent-with-michael-327186583

I'm extremely guilty of this... numbering my podcast episodes. Should we be doing this? What is the effect on listeners? Plus...the microphone. I know some very very famous people who think they had to have the top of the crop best of the best of equipment only to realize a great microphone can become your worst sound.

If you're a podcaster, you've had a spike. Wow! We've made it! The big time in podcasting. Then the bottom falls out. WTF? How to survive a podcast spike.

Pod Crashing episode 494 with super model Kim Alexis from the podcast Unexpired… Being an international supermodel, as Kim Alexis was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, inspired a quiet rebellion within her against the cultural expectations that tell people, especially women, who they are supposed to be and when they are supposed to fade. In her new podcast, Unexpired (debuting on Apple, iHeart radio, Spotify, and YouTube on May 6), she explores why some people continue to thrive- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, long after our culture tells them that they're past their prime.It's an important topic that she explores with people who have lived interesting, full, and often highly visible lives, asking the question: what drives them forward when career or life changes?The podcast challenges one of the most damaging cultural myths: that your best years are behind you. You are not past your prime. Prime is not a number! It's how you steward your body, mind, relationships, and purpose.Upcoming guests include Jay Leno, Esai Morales, Justine Bateman, Super Bowl great Jim McMahon, Mariel Hemingway, Larry the Cable Guy, Carol Alt, Joe Theisman, Patrick Warburton, Joan Severence, NFL superstar Bret Saberhagen, Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts), and many more.People Mag: https://people.com/model-kim-alexis-chops-off-12-inches-of-her-hair-to-donate-to-children-with-hair-loss-exclusive-8413533 Sizzle Reel: https://next.frame.io/share/17d4f595-1cce-4665-969b-b50ba063d2a4/view/323983e6-c350-456d-a0dc-b8611ce7b53a Podcast episodes available here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-unexpired-332781591/
