Steve Henn the co-founder of 60db, about the podcast discovery service and what he sees as the future monetization strategies that will benefit the podcasting space.

Glenn Rubenstein, founder of Adopter Media and author of  "Podcast Advertising Works: How to Turn Engaged Audiences into Loyal Customers" joins us to talk about the advertising landscape and what you need to keep in mind as a podcaster and advertiser.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Krimitsos at DC Podfest in 2016.  This was one of the nicest, most genuine people that I have ever interacted with in the space.  Now, this was all after podtopod had decided to sponsor his podcast documentary The Messengers, (click to watch trailer) but he spoke with so much passion and was just an incredible person to meet.

It is because of that passion and warmth that I was super excited to book my ticket to attend his Podfest Multimedia Expo.  This is a podcasting conference taking place at the end of February in Orlando, FL. 

But even before Chris had sold me on the merits of this event, loads of people were telling us about and posting on social media about podfest and why this is an incredible event to check out.

There is still time to get your tickets and get down there for this friendly, intimate, and highly educational podcast event. I was excited to talk to Chris about the show and I hope you’ll hear his passion and genuine desire to grow this space.

Like most great startups creators, Mark Steadman was trying to solve his own problem and realized he had stumbled on to something he could share with the whole world.  Podiant is a new podcast hosting platform that offers a beautiful U/I and incredible promotional tools. 

Podiant is focused on your final website which is an important tool for podcasters.  It’s also a lot of work and can take away from your true passion, creating content.  You can look at the site that was created for his podcast as a result of using the platform at MoodElevator.org

The other great feature of Podiant right now is that it is free! That probably won’t last forever, but if you are just starting out and want to dip your toe in the podcasting water, this is a great, easy-to-use platform that can help you do that. Now, Mark could use some help, so we do encourage you to donate to Mark so he can continue to build it out and create a better experience for podcasters.

Check out his platform at podiant.co and take a listen to his podcast at MoodElevator.org.
