  • The Secret To Growing Podcasting Is More IHNIs [Episode 17]

    As much as I love podcasting, there are some statistics I find troubling. Specifically, there's the fact that podcasting is the slowest growing "media" medium... ever.

    Why is it that more than 70% of the population think that it's just not worth their time to check out podcasts?

    Part of the problem is the conflation of quality and popularity. Just because something is "the biggest", it doesn't mean it's "the best".

    Worse, often times "the best" isn't palatable for those who assume that they don't need (or won't like) the content.

    We can fix that by only suggesting shows that deliver "I Had No Idea" experiences. Do you know any? Go find some. And listen to this episode to learn more.

    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.

  • Podcasters: Stop Making Sh**ty Show Notes! [Episode 16]

    Wow, but do we podcasters abuse the term "show notes". This whole rant was predicated by two podcasts I recently listened to that didn't care at all about the Listener Experience, making it incredibly hard to take the action the hosts (and their guests) wanted me to take.

    Why? The vast majority of listeners can click on the show to get more details that can contain links to other content on the web!

    Yet most ignore that fact. And it really upsets me, as you'll hear in this episode. Idiots.

  • Is Google Podcasts Making A Play For Everyone? [Episode 15]

    Recent changes indicate Google Podcasts is about to go beyond the Android, likely to iOS. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    What changes are endemic when a powerhouse like Google can make a consistent user experience across Android and iOS?

    At a minimum, it changes how (and where) people -- all people on a mobile device -- find and discover new podcast episodes.

    For the better. For more ideas on this, listen to this episode (recorded in my car right before I went into physical therapy for my bum shoulder.)
