Midroll - 7 Reasons why podcast ads are effective

Spotify adding podcasts

-------------

Episode Artwork??

Podcatchers (iTunes, Podcasts App, Downcast and so on) all use different parts of the feed or the ID3 tags for different things.

What the apps do with it once they get the rss feed is totally up to them.

Think of your RSS feed as your transmitter for your radio station. You can have your transmitter to broadcast stereo in hi fi. BUT, if your listener decides to listen to your broadcast on a pocket radio with a 2 inch speaker, they are not going to hear it in hi fi. You have no control over that. You just have to make sure your feed (Transmitter) is tuned up the way you want it to be, with all the artwork, tags and such and what the podcatchers (Radios) do with it is really out of your control.

I’ve had a rush of clients with feedburner issues.

Cliff Ravenscraft - The Podcast Answer Man Still recommends feedburner

John Lee Dumas - Recommends using a libsyn feed (better than feedburner!)

Pat Flynn NO LONGER RECOMMENDS FEEDBURNER!!
