Make Your Good Podcast Great With Syndicated Content [S3E75]
Podcasters tend to love collaboration, but it’s not easy. Unless we embrace the notion of syndicated content. Then it gets much easier.
I don’t mean syndicated content as defined in the acronym RSS feed. I mean using syndicated content to inject fresh and relevant content into your podcast’s episodes, both enhancing your episodes and making them more enjoyable for your listeners. All without requiring you to create a lick of new content.
Perhaps things like...
- Incorporating today’s health news or a tip for healthy living in your health-focused podcast
- Keeping listeners of your higher-ed show up to date on the latest grants or relevant legislation news
- Running the latest scores or headlines on your sports podcast
- Providing get-it-right-now travel deals on your travel podcast that’s produced weeks ahead of publishing
- The latest news in your niche, always updated
- Advice columns you don’t have to write
- Constantly refreshed inspirational content
- Short meditation or wellness tips
- New music that’s properly licensed
- Promo swaps that don’t suck and help you build your network
This isn’t just theory. Today’s episode of the podcast version of Sounds Profitable includes two syndicated segments. The first is from James Cridland of Podnews. No matter when you download the file—today, tomorrow, or 6 months from now—you’ll hear James voicing a 1-minute highlight of that day’s most important podcasting news. At the end of Bryan’s episode, you’ll hear my voice giving you a Minute of Pod Zen. Just like with James’ content, the content I’m voicing will change depending on when you download the overall episode. Neat!
If you want to take my syndicated content for Minute of Pod Zen and use it on your podcast, great! It’s free to you and I’ll even help you walk through the tech to make it happen. Details on the above link.
Oh, and I’m also syndicating the Minute of Pod Zen to Alexa as a Flash Briefing. Because why not?
Bryan has a full write-up on how he’s made syndication tech for podcasts work if you want to see what you’re getting yourself into. But as I said, it’s quite straightforward.
I look forward to learning how you can make your good podcast great with syndicated content!

Mentioned in this episode:
Support For Abortion Rights
While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.
Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:
1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.
We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
