Welcome to the Replay of Live Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee of AdoreNetwork.com! From Thursday, March 6, 2025, 7 PM EST, and we’re diving into the seismic shift shaking up podcasting in “Wake Up, Podcasters: The 2025 Media Revolution is Here! Big platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple are tightening their grip, video is rewriting the rules, and AI—yes, artificial intelligence—might just out-podcast us all. This is your wake-up call: the game is changing fast, and we’re here to help you survive and thrive.

The podcasting landscape isn’t the Wild West anymore. Platforms are consolidating power, scooping up creators, audiences, and ad dollars, while legacy media crumbles. Audio-only growth is flatlining, and big shows are dominating the cash flow. Meanwhile, video is crashing the party with deeper metrics and bigger revenue—though Spotify’s push for video is stirring up trouble for RSS-based audio. Their caching strategy is disrupting dynamic ad insertion, leaving audio revenue flat while video hogs the spotlight. Is RSS on borrowed time? Not yet, but the old podcast highway is getting a flashy new offramp.

So, what’s the play? Podcasting is going pro. Video is in, hosting is cheap, and platforms are offering revenue shares—but audiences demand polish, and the days of “just hit record” are gone. Too many podcasters have podfaded, burned out by the grind and lack of instant payoff. Starting a show in 2025 takes skills, strategy, and a plan to scale—or you’re toast. Stick with us weekly to mine the gold still out there.

And then there’s the wild card: AI. Artificial intelligence—and soon, superintelligent ASI agents—could script, record, edit, publish, and market your podcast before breakfast. Media creation is about to flip upside down. Will AI out-podcast us, or become our secret weapon for pro-level content on the cheap? The choice is yours: team up with the machines or get left behind.

Podcasting in 2025 isn’t dead—it’s evolving. Video is rising, platforms are flexing, and AI is rewriting the script. Whether you’re starting fresh or growing your show, now’s the time to adapt, professionalize, and dream big. Drop your thoughts in the comments, hit subscribe, and join us next week for more Podcast Tips. Keep creating—the revolution won’t wait!

In today’s Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee – Episode 52, we’re diving into the art of storytelling—but with a refreshing twist. What happens when you ditch the visuals and focus entirely on your words? That’s precisely what we’ll explore as we uncover how going back to storytelling basics can help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

Many creators risk putting style over substance in an era dominated by flashy graphics and attention-grabbing visuals. Imagine crafting your narrative without a camera, fancy graphics, or slideshow. What’s left is your most valuable storytelling tool—your words. How do you turn them into a compelling narrative that resonates? We’ll strip everything back and show you how to refine your storytelling skills.

Without visuals to rely on, every sentence becomes sharper and every idea more purposeful. Words alone can evoke emotions, create vivid imagery in your audience’s minds, and build a narrative arc that lingers long after your story ends. Going back to basics forces you to focus on clarity and purpose—key ingredients in storytelling mastery.

True storytelling is about more than entertaining; it’s about connection. And connection comes from authenticity and vulnerability. By stripping away visuals, you’re left with your voice, your face, and your words—pure and human. This vulnerability resonates with your audience and helps them relate to you more deeply.

Let’s be clear: we’re not anti-video. Video is an incredible medium, but too many creators get lost in style and lose sight of the story’s substance. A polished video means nothing if your story lacks authenticity.

Here’s an exercise to elevate your storytelling: For your next podcast, video, or social post, focus entirely on your words. Write with intention. Build a narrative that paints vivid images, evokes emotions, and draws your audience in.

No matter the medium—text, video, or images—the heart of storytelling lies in making your audience feel something. What do you want them to take away? Please focus on the essence of your story, and your audience will remember it.
