Podcast Insider

As a podcast host, you wear many hats, including advertising team. And there will most likely come a day when you want to be prepared to share data about your show to someone else, and you'll need to create a podcast media kit, also known as a press kit. Hear from Todd and Mike some recommendations on what to include, when to get started and more. We've got lots more where that comes from, so stick around for Toby's pro tip of the week about email segmentation, mic quality and loads of podcast industry news.

Email Segmentation - thanks Toby!

Question of the Week

Question: This came from the Podcasting Reddit topic. Should two hosts use the same type of mic, or can they use different kinds/types and end up with ok audio?

Answer: It is a good idea for you and your co-host to sound similar in quality but we don’t think you need to have the exact microphones. But, if one host is on a $500 mic and the other host is on a stick mic that came with a laptop, well that isn’t going to sound great.  Most importantly, background noise levels need to be the same or as close as you can.

Have you taken a look at your Blubrry podcast statistics today? You'll find a whole new interface and for some users (advanced), a few new metrics. Many of you know we've been working on this user experience release for a long time and we could not be more excited to share it with you all. We start out the episode with some Blubrry news this time, and get to industry news after as well as a best practice -- research your titles -- and a pro tip about co-hosts.

A big thanks to Yndia Lorick-Wilmot for joining us as podcaster of the month and stick around for her interview with Todd. Thanks for listening and let us know what you think about the stats! You might just win a year's worth of hosting for doing so.

Question of the Week

Question: What is the correct bitrate vs. file size for podcasting mp3’s?

Answer: That is up to you, but the standard is 64kbps in mono or 128kbps in stereo. 64kbps will give you 1/2mb per minute of audio and you can double that for 128kbps.

Question of the Week

Question: What are the requirements to get on Apple Podcasts and Spotify?

Answer: I see this generic question a lot on forums and groups.

There are several, but they are mostly the same for ALL podcast apps, directories, and podcatchers. 

The first requirement is actually having a podcast. That means having at least one podcast episode published and having a podcast-compatible RSS feed to submit.

Correct artwork size

Media file in the designated format

Descriptions filled out

Category picked

Of course, Blubrry will help you with ALL these things. That is our job! And we have a simple set of instructions here in case you're more of a step by step learner. Learn how to Submit to Apple Podcasts here and to find instructions for many other directories here.

There are many responsibilities that come with being a podcast host and creator. Some of which include: deciding on what type of content to publish, what platforms you’re comfortable being on, and this one can be more important than some think, the help you ask for along the way. We urge you to be wary when you begin working with or choose to hire a podcast consultant. Tune in for these topics and more on this episode of Podcast Insider.

Question of the Week

Question: Why are my stats reporting downloads? What about people hitting play on my page? Are those counted?

Answer: To the server, plays and downloads are the same thing. Whether this is playing on a web page or downloading in an app. The only difference is when someone hits play on your page, the file is downloading AS it’s playing (you can’t tell the difference unless there is significant buffering). But to the server, it looks the same. So, they are counted the same.

Not all podcast advertising is created equal, for instance, a new study says 30 seconds is the best length for an ad. However, depending on where the ad is in the show, it could be better to go longer or shorter. There is no solid rule of thumb. And our best practice encourages podcasters to choose wisely when deciding to partner with a sponsor. Mike and Todd chat about some recent changes to Youtube creators and Spotify artists as well.

Best Practice

Be picky about what you choose to advertise on your podcast.

An advertiser is another representative of yourself and your show. Who you choose to identify with can seem minor but to a certain listener can be a major indicator of something they don’t agree with.

Have you worked on something new for your podcast lately? We know that email can seem drab, but it can be vital for reaching your audience in a way that they actually use or respond to. In this episode we share why running an email list for your podcast is important as a creator. And mention a newsletter for podcasters to keep them informed they can subscribe to. Before we get to that, we discuss issues with Anchor, a Spotify trademark case and more.

Blog Post: Don’t Sabotage Your Show Before You Hit Record by Tara O’Brien

Podcaster of the Month: Landis Wade from the Charlotte Readers Podcast

Offering very limited private beta to our stats system. If you are a hosting customer, we will provide 5-10 users access to the new Blubrry Stats interface before anyone else. Email [email protected].

Blubrry Pro Tip

Why running an email list is important. 

Question(s) of the Week

Question: On my statistics report, I can see downloads but not the number of subscribers. Where can I find the number of subscribers to my podcast?

Answer: Companies cannot claim to tell you the number of subscribers with any accuracy. The problem is that an app might hit your RSS feed 24 times a day (once an hour) and someone else might have their app set to hit your feed every 4 hours and some others might hit it every 10 minutes. There is no way to really know, BUT there are a couple of ways to garner a safe estimate.  

Look at an episode that is 30 days or so old. Click on the file name in our system, then click on "distribution" and look at the mobile app and podcatcher numbers. Add them together and that will get you close to 'subscribers'.

Look at the bump in the day-to-day trending graph on days you publish.  People that download/play it on the same day or the next day are more than likely subscribers.

Question(s) of the Week

Question: Should I be posting my new podcasts as "Posts or Pages" in WordPress?

Answer: Posts. Pages are for more static content like About pages, welcome pages, pages you use for reference and that kind of thing. Not so much for ongoing dynamic content like podcasts or blog posts. Plus, Pages are never included in the RSS feed. You could (but it’s more complicated) use a Custom post type, but that is too much to go into on a podcast :)

For the last show to 2021, we asked our staff and on social what they think might happen in podcasting in 2022.  Today's show is a bit of a format break.  Have a happy new year!  See ya in 2022!

Carolyn Berry, from Adventures with Grammy,  says her show will double its listeners in 2022.  ( good plug! )

Maxwell Ivey Jr. from What’s Your Excuse network and the blind blogger says:  I predict even more people, companies, and organizations will launch podcasts. I predict Spotify and others will continue to try to win the podcasting world like it's a game of monopoly. And I predict that more people will be hosting with Blubrry.

Dave Keeshan from The Future is Not Set, I predict the option to open a payment stream to podcasts will increase. So far Patreon and buymeacoffee.com are sorta fits. The start of tipping, or lightning/crypto payments, or anything that can be done from a handheld device will become more common. This will hopefully happen as a result of people’s frustration with the increase of ads into their podcast experience. Hopefully, this will also lead to a more dynamic podcast, where they can be delivered with and without ads.

AND

There will be more live streaming like events/productions. Clubhouse, FIreside, Wisdom, are all chasing "something". The thing, live, interactive audio, which can be recorded and released later as a podcast, maybe as different as radio shows are to podcasts (which are also released after the fact as podcasts)

@checkheadpod  The CHECK YOUR HEAD Podcast’s prediction for 2022 is that it will be the biggest year for podcast growth as more people turn to #podcasts for safe, enjoyable & free entertainment during #pandemiclife.

Josh fromTips of the Slung I wouldn't be surprised if some of the shows under the banners of bigger companies (in particular shows that were independent and successful prior to signing) try to break their contracts and go indie again. [ Josh - Tips of the Slung ]

Daniel J. Lewis from The Audacity to Podcast -  I expect we'll see another huge platform support podcasts—maybe Microsoft, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Also much bigger adoption of Podcasting 2.0.

Jim Malliard from The Malliard Report:  I predict Spotify will close the free version of anchor and try to recruit shows to only be on Spotify, only with free music accounts.

Articles:

HotPod / The Verge’s predictions (toward the bottom of this article)

Pacific Content’s Annual Prediction article

From the Team:

Toby Goodman from Blubrry Pro Production:  ​​There will be at least one best selling book about podcasting coming in late Feb! (hint: Toby is writing a book)  :)

Ultimately I say this... The industry will be split into even more subsections from a revenue-generating standpoint. I don't think paid subscriptions will grow wildly unless podcasters are prepared to give more than just... more audio away. ie: More in-person events, memberships…

Barry Kantz, RawVoice CFO -  I think the blockchain will have an impact on podcasting over the next couple of years.

Todd’s Predictions: 

Facebook will be #2 by end of 2022

More consolidation of conglomerates buying podcast companies

More advertising opportunities for independent podcasters

The growth of the podcast space will go back to pre-pandemic levels

More companies will exercise private podcasting in their organizations

Anchor will add another million dead show

Apple will open up API submission to Apple Podcasts

Mike’s Predictions: 

Facebook WILL NOT be the #2 listening platform by the end of 2022.

Soundcloud will still exist (even though I’ve been predicting its death for years).

The big companies are buying more podcast assets. Todd and Mike talk about Captivate and Whooshkaa getting acquired. Today is a no-edit show. Everyone have a Happy Holiday!

Question(s) of the Week

Question: I have a really long interview that I recorded, it’s over 2 hours. Should I break it up into two episodes or should I just put it out full-length?

Answer:  In most cases, play the whole thing in one episode.  Maybe think of editing it down to less than 2 hours.  Make sure it's not boring! But, do not break things up into 2 parts if you can help it.
