Words of WisdomThe minimum setup to get you started, but to still look professional, is a high-speed internet connection, computer hardware, studio equipment, the microphone and headset, and applications, which are going to help you to get online and do everything in a simple way. –ShelleyThe minimum requirements that you want are the ping. That's the signal that goes between you and your server provider to see how long it takes to ping one another. The minimum is 10 milliseconds, 10 or less. Five megabytes upload because live streaming is all about upload. If the service provides 10 that's great. Five megabytes download, but the more important of the two is the upload. – Toby Younis, special guest cohostShelley and Toby's Amazon Home Studio Kit

Watching Podcasts: YouTube Edges Out Spotify

For this spring’s Podcast Download Report, Cumulus Media and Signal Hill Insights decided to include consumers who watch, rather than just listen. Factoring in video-first audiences reveals quite a shift, at least in this study: "YouTube, by a nose, is now the most used podcasting platform in the U.S."

10% of respondents said they only ‘watched’ podcasts in the last week, and 60% of weekly consumers (audio and video) said they prefer podcasts with video. "Podcast watchers" are younger and are likely to be new to the medium.

The report also highlights the "eyes on" advertising attentiveness of podcast watchers. At YouTube’s upfront in New York, the company announced a new ad-frequency capping solution for brands using Google Ads. This could be good news for podcasters already wary of overloading new fans.
