No, Podcasting Hasn't Jumped The Shark. But... [Episode 65]


Listen Later

Beyond the fact that the concept of "shark jumping" by definition can't apply to an entire industry, this week we'll take a critical look at a recent post on Folio that claimed that very thing.

No, this isn't a take-down piece. Actually, I think the author makes some very good points with his contrarian article. 

But that doesn't mean we can't learn from his opinion. Newsflash: It's an opinion many people share about the current state of podcasting. 

Listen in to learn how you, the current or soon-to-be podcaster can avoid a few tropes and pitfalls, some of which have plagued us from the beginning of podcasting. 

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.
