The episode begins with hosts Todd Cochrane and Rob Greenlee discussing technical issues that led to a late start, including audio problems that were eventually resolved. They welcome the audience back to the “New Media Show.”

Todd shares his recent experience at Podfest Asia, discussing its growing attendance, which he estimates to be double the previous year, and mentions the evolving content landscape in the Philippines. He highlights a session featuring a provocative podcast called “Too Hot to Podcast,” which caused discomfort among conservative participants. Todd notes significant investments in the Philippine podcast market, with a new sports network that is planning to launch, suggesting a dedication to funding quality content. He also comments on the disappointing absence of Spotify and the dissatisfaction expressed by local podcasters regarding Spotify’s support.

Rob pivoted the conversation to the Podcast Movement Evolutions event in Chicago. He shares that attendance seemed lower than expected, and insights from others suggest that the event does not cater well to independent podcasters due to its timing and structure. The hosts agree that many attendees appear to be industry professionals rather than creators, complicating the event’s aim to support independent voices.

Transitioning topics, Rob mentions the Ambie Awards, which were held alongside Podcast Movement, emphasizing the distinction between audio as a primary medium and the broader scope of what constitutes a podcast. He shares AI-generated definitions of podcasts, highlighting views that classify them primarily as audio content while acknowledging the presence of video versions. Todd concurs that RSS feed support for video podcasts is crucial but recognizes that the broader perception may not align with this.

Todd recounts a survey he conducted in which many attendees at Podfest Asia were unaware that video podcasts could exist via RSS, underscoring the need for ongoing education in the podcasting community.

Rob references recent discussions in a three-part audio series by Media Roundtable that also sought to define what a podcast is today, noting that the series concludes that video will play a growing role. They discuss how many platforms overlook the potential of video in the podcasting landscape.

Throughout the episode, Todd emphasizes that while the definitions of podcasts may evolve, the key idea remains that they should ideally have an RSS feed for distribution. The hosts express the sentiment that audiences, in general, are indifferent to the technical underpinnings of how podcasts are delivered, and they share anecdotes about their experiences navigating podcast distribution platforms.

As the conversation progresses, they delve into the tensions introduced by platform algorithms and their impact on listener engagement. Discussions about success metrics on platforms like YouTube and the changing nature of engagement reveal a broader conversation about the podcasting ecosystem’s future.

The episode wraps up with a reiteration of Todd’s practical experiences with streaming technology and a shared understanding of the complexities of the podcasting industry today. They encourage listeners to consider the importance of both audio and video in their content strategies, underscoring the need for continued discussion and innovation in podcasting.

Finally, Todd and Rob thank their viewers and encourage feedback and questions via email. They confirm their commitment to resuming the show at the same time next week.

Matt Le Tissier is a former England international and Premier League football legend, best known for his loyalty to Southampton, his incredible goals, and his reputation as one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation. Since retiring, he has become one of the few high-profile sports figures willing to speak out on politics, media manipulation, and the erosion of personal freedom.

In this interview, Matt discusses his career, why he turned down big-money moves to stay loyal to his club, and how his life changed after questioning the government’s Covid response. We discuss his experience of being cancelled by Sky Sports, the chilling effect on public figures who question official narratives, and why the media no longer serves the public.

Another permanent rant -- about how universities can be reorganized to do more for us, and we need places where lots of people come face to face to learn and build things, but let's go back to school every ten years.

I went to Harvard in 2003 wanting to bring the minds of Harvard onto the open web, instead they brought my mind into the university, and we brought the open web into Harvard. And long after I got my last degree, with new maturity and experience I found much bigger ways the university could be used as a tool to grow and evolve, to create new stuff. But we didn't finish the job, Silicon Valley did. And we got a result similar to what we'll get if we let the Musk process go forward much further.

It's remarkable how some of the rich of Silicon Valley want to do to the world what they did to the web! If you extrapolate, we'll go from a world with great potential, to a lot of grunting and snorting and not much else. The new AI technology is not ready to run the world. The rich people should use their own wealth to build something great and then show the rest of us how to use it. That's the proper role for Silicon Valley, not to rule.

Lots of ideas buzzing around, but yet all this seems so freaking familiar.

Do we even need to bother creating podcast websites anymore? That’s the million-dollar question we’re tackling today. We dive deep into the future of podcasting and whether those little corner spots on the internet are still relevant or just relics of a bygone era. With tools like WordPress getting easier and new platforms popping up, we explore the bizarre landscape of website creation for podcasters—because who doesn't love a good debate about whether to stick with the old-school methods or jump on the latest trends? Spoiler alert: we might not have all the answers, but we sure have a lot of sarcastic opinions on the absurdity of keeping a website in a TikTok world. So grab your headphones and let's figure out if your podcast needs a home or if it’s time to just float in the digital ether like a lost episode.

>> Alright, folks, let’s dive into the chaotic whirlwind that is podcasting websites! Picture this: we’re sitting around, sipping our overpriced lattes, and the million-dollar question pops up – do we even need to create podcast websites anymore? Spoiler alert: it’s a mess! We’ve got the old-timers clinging to their WordPress themes like it’s a lifebuoy on the sinking ship of the internet, while the new kids are all about the cool, shiny app platforms. Remember when a website was your podcast’s home base? Now it feels like we’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. Sure, we’ve got tools like PodPage making life easier, but does anyone actually visit websites anymore? We’ve got TikTok stars telling us to build our empires on their platforms, but what happens when the next big thing comes along and wipes them off the map? It’s a digital Wild West out there, and we’re all just trying to stake our claim.

In this episode, we explore the evolution of podcasting websites and the tools we’ve used over the years, from the dreaded Dreamweaver to the clunky WordPress plugins. And let’s not forget the nightmare of SEO – is it even worth it? With the rise of AI and social media platforms, we’re questioning if a website is still relevant or just an overpriced digital business card. We’ve seen the stats; most folks discover podcasts through word of mouth, so why not just focus on making killer content and let the algorithms do the rest? But hey, if you’re not sending your listeners to your own site, where are they going? We’re all just a click away from being lost in the abyss of the internet, and that’s a sobering thought.

So where does that leave us? Are we website advocates or just holding onto a relic of the past? With sarcasm dripping from our voices, we ponder whether it’s time to toss the website out entirely or double down and make it the best digital hangout spot for our loyal listeners. Because at the end of the day, we want them to find us and hit play, right? If not, we might as well just record our musings into the void and hope someone stumbles upon them while scrolling through TikTok.

>> As we tumble down this rabbit hole, let’s discuss the absurdity of our reliance on platforms that could vanish tomorrow. We’ve got folks building massive followings on TikTok, but what’s the plan when that platform decides to pull the rug out from under us? In this episode, we dive into the absurdity of the podcasting ecosystem where it seems like the only constant is change. With the rise of AI, we’re seeing more creators turning to tech to enhance their craft, but we can’t help but roll our eyes at the irony – here we are, creators, relying on algorithms to get our art out there. It’s like trying to catch fish with a net full of holes.

We take a hard look at the tools of the trade, from the shiny new website builders to the age-old debate over whether to stick with WordPress or jump ship to something less complicated. And let’s throw in a few laughs about our nostalgic memories of Microsoft Front Page and the dark days of HTML coding. We’ve come a
