Hello Rob (and Alex)

Thank you for the work you put into the Spreaker Live Show every week. Since I found out about it about a year ago, I don't think I've missed more than a few episodes, and the information on the Spreaker platform and the industry in general has been great.

You have asked for a few promos for shows that use the Spreaker platform, and I have, well, a lot currently. I am attaching a :30 and a :60 promo for my Weekly News & Current Event Review Show, and hope one makes the cut for a shoutout soon.

Thanks,
J Cleveland Payne | jclevelandpayne.net

We chose a name that we knew no one would have.

We had created our web site, Facebook page, Twitter and You Tube accounts two and a half weeks ahead of our first launch date on Spreaker.

We started our show based on what we did in television 20 years prior.

Jason Rigden
Thanks for mentioning the Seattle Podcasters Guild! What makes a "podcast city" is the community of podcasters. A strong local ecosystem makes for strong shows. It is just like in music. Cities with strong interconnected music communities produce exceptional bands. I think the same thing will work for podcasting. We just need to start building those communities and that is exactly what the guild is trying to do.

The DMVShow
Hey guys! I actually started my podcast doing live shows roughly 2 yrs ago. It is definitely challenging being the host, producer, sound engineer and all in between. I never edited anything.. I love doing it live unfortunately, I ran out of material. But i am planning a reboost to the show....fine tune....thxs for all the advise

- Top Reasons To Podcast Live
- 2018 Saw Fast Growth in NEW Podcasts Published
- Podcon 2 is coming this Weekend Jan 19-20 in Seattle at http://Podcon.com
- Listener Comments & Questions

On the show today:

- Top Reasons To Podcast Live - Is LIVE Podcasting A Thing?

When I started podcasting in 2012, live podcasting was a relatively new thing. Podcasts were always an “on-demand” medium, allowing you to consume pre-recorded content later via RSS. In fact, only a few podcasting companies allowed you to podcast live, like my podcast host Spreaker.com.

Like other users I played with the go-live option, but preferred to take the safe, traditional route and pre-record the show. It wasn’t until I did a live all-day marathon that I found the true power of doing a live broadcast.

Now, in 2018, I’m all in on live broadcasting! Here are the top reasons why you should consider going live.

Instant Interaction And Feedback - Listener Friendships

Did you just hit your listener’s funny bone? It’s easy to see with the string of LOLs and emojis in the comments section.

Shock your audience into silence? Silent phones are a dead giveaway.

Did you piss off all your listeners? The ALL CAPS comments full of bite and bile tell the tale.

If you wonder how listeners are reacting to your show, going live is a great way to get instant feedback. Most podcasts may get five to 10 comments max per episode, but go live and it is common to get hundreds of comments per episode. Granted, many of the comments are from the same users, but the overall interaction and feedback is far and beyond any on-demand podcast you might do.

Immediate Satisfaction - Both Host and Live Listener

When I was an actor doing live theater, I loved the immediate satisfaction of hearing the audience gasp from a dramatic moment on stage. My fellow thespians and I would become motivated and energized by their reaction. You will find the same thing happening to you when broadcasting live.

Don’t forget this goes both ways. Your audience will get immediate acknowledgement in real time and it will encourage them to give even more feedback.

Less Production Time - Pre-planning makes a difference

Pre-production not your thing? Going live can help with that. Just play a quick intro and get into the meat of the show. No need for fancy sound bites, effects, royal music, etc.

Find post-production editing too time consuming? No worries, since the show is already published. When using platforms like Spreaker.com you have the option to have the live broadcast archived. The download is then available to those who prefer to listen on-demand.

It’s Exciting! --- Thrill and Scary Too!

I still get a rush when I see the “Live” light turn on. There is a certain energy that comes with broadcasting live. Part of the excitement is not knowing what might happen next.

There is a vibe you just don’t get recording a podcast by yourself in an empty room. On-demand can actually feel a bit boring after going live for a while.

Alex Exum is the host of ‘Live Talk’ Monday – Thursdays 7 p.m. PST at livetalk.live and thefringe.fm.

2018 Saw Large Growth in NEW Podcasts Published - Doubling of Episodes
Successful podcasters know they need to earn listeners’ time, attention, and loyalty. It’s never been more important to produce original, high-quality, creatively brave shows. It’s never been more important to invest in audience development and show marketing.

The crowd is getting bigger. How will you stand out?

Listener Comments:

Shelf Addiction
That day I was featured, I think there was a small spike in listens. It wasn't drastic, but I did notice a small bump. ~Tamara

THE FRINGE FM
I think another thing people need to ask themselves is.....Are they ready to be heard by thousands? Is the show ready to go? Because listeners give you one or two chances and that's about it.

Linda Irwin
Get onto as many platforms as you can because you catch new people that way. I very recently returned to You Tube. Before you join those platforms, be sure to read the fine print on their terms of service. Many newer ones claim full ownership to your content.

- More Show Distribution is Coming to Spreaker via airable API deal
To align with CES in Vegas Spreaker has done a deal to enable shows to be distributed via new electronics devices.

VOXNEST's SPREAKER podcast platform has inked a partnership deal with TUNE IN GmbH's airable platform which allows hardware manufacturers to integrate internet-delivered media to their devices. Under the pact, SPREAKER podcasts will be available to enabled device users and a collection of SPREAKER shows will be featured in a dedicated content channel via the API.

With SPREAKER being on consumer electronics and high-end audio equipment, it’s important that customers using these devices have access to podcast content as well, not just music. Partnering with airable is a great opportunity to promote the podcast content across consumer electronics platforms and devices.”

Interesting intro conversation about live/radio. Alex spoke about the audio quality. I agree it needs to be of a certain standard, but have you heard talk radio? Some of that quality is poor - even the BBC. Content is king.

- 7 Podcasting Trends to Watch For in 2019
- Should you podcast during the holidays?
- Podcasts have an Increasingly Diverse Audience
- Listener Comments


On the show today:

- Podcasting Trends To Watch For in 2019:

1) In 2018, growth on the podcast content side has been outpacing the listening side, and that’s leading me to wonder whether all this content can realistically find an audience that will align with the projected advertising revenue in 2019 and beyond. If podcast history serves as a guide, growth in audience will catch up eventually to bring balance again. What this means is that podcasters can't simply build it and wait for audiences to come.
In 2019 and beyond, as more and more content is available, it will be increasingly important the whole podcast industry focus on converting more android smartphone and radio listeners to becoming podcast listeners in 2019.

2) Podcasters in 2019 will be looking to get in all the new music service platforms and grow big audiences while also expecting more promotional support from their podcast hosting platforms. Those platforms providing this level of support will prove challenging to do across thousands of podcast shows, but is very much part of the growing need and desire to grow the podcast listening audience for their show and the overall industry.

3) Listening trends in 2019 will increasingly be built around very diverse audience communities. No longer can podcasts be seen as a by-white-male, for-white-male medium. In fact, 2018 marked the year when the demographics of podcast audiences nearly mirrored the demographics of the United States overall. at least for gender and ethnicity

4) International growth of downloads will continue in 2019 from these top 10 fastest growing countries based on Voxnest data in 2018: Brazil, New Zealand, Ireland, Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Turkey, Mexico, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Looking at the countries with the highest quantity of downloads: United States of America, Denmark, Brazil, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland. We see that even some mature podcasting markets are still growing.

5) When it comes to mobile devices, the Android operating system is the global leader, with an astonishing 72% market share. Still, with just 24.4% of the market, Apple dominates when it comes to podcast listening worldwide. According to our metrics, the ratio of listening on Apple Podcasts versus general podcast listening on Android is about five to one. With this disparity, it seems getting a larger share of Android users to listen to podcasts would immediately increase the number of listeners worldwide.

6) When Google Podcasts launched, there was a lot of excitement around its potential to grow the industry exponentially and quickly. But after a surge at launch, adoption has slowed and usage declined. Six months in, most would classify the initiative as a big disappointment.
Many industry leaders believe the reasons Google Podcasts has struggled include a confusing app installation process and a complete lack of promotion - particularly from podcasters, who are primarily in the Apple ecosystem.

7) In 2019 will see industry wide rollout of IAB podcast audience metrics standards that will forever change the podcast advertising market as the medium will finally have a measurement of downloads that everyone is in agreement. As more podcast hosting platforms including Voxnest’s Spreaker undergo the extensive and expensive verification for the IAB v.2 Podcast Metrics Guideline certification, advertisers’ confidence in podcasting will grow. Armed with analytics that show real, growing ROI, 2019 should be a breakthrough year where more big brands turn to the medium to reach and engage audiences. Meanwhile, as the year progresses, the emphasis on audience metrics as the competitive feature that business models are built on, the industry can get back to competing based on the quality of the content.

Should you podcast during the holidays?
“Man In Beta” Posted this to comments from episode #172:

This should go back to how well you know your audience surely? Thanksgiving was only a holiday in the States. How much of your audience are you ignoring by only thinking about one market? I think you need to look at your stats and work out WHERE your audience is before answering this question. If 90% are outside the States, then you're doing your audience a disservice. But this "States first " mentality is a little odd in the modern podcasting realm considering where most the major platforms were founded - hint: most are not from the States (Spotify, Deezer, Spreaker, SoundCloud) and ignores the global reach of Google and Apple Podcasts. Americans need to get their heads out of their box and realise there is a whole world out there full of current and potential listeners. For example, my Football Manager podcast (yes soccer) has a nice little audience in Vietnam and Australia.

- Podcasts have an Increasingly Diverse Audience

No longer can podcasts be seen as a by-white-male, for-white-male medium. In fact, 2018 marked the year when the demographics of podcast audiences nearly mirrored the demographics of the United States overall. at least for gender and ethnicity.

According to a presentation by Edison Research at this year’s WerkIt conference, the podcast audience is now 48% female, up from 44% in 2016 and 2017.
2018- 52% men /48% women
2017- 56% men / 44% women
2016- 56% men/ 44% women
The nearly-even split is only part of the story. In the U.S., women buy more than 80 percent of all U.S. goods and services, making them an important audience for advertisers. Furthermore, self-identified heavy podcast listeners fall into highly-coveted demographic groups: married, millennials with kids and high earnings. It’s the growth of this audience that will bring more brands to podcast advertising to catalyze the industry’s growth.

I use different voices for my characters, too. I doubt if I could find anyone else to help me out and my comedy partner is unavailable for over a year and a half now.

I sometimes have to change the days I do shows month to month, but I warn people in the show itself before the schedule changes.

I also do not have a minimum time length but I do not go over 45 minutes. Our listeners prefer that.

On the show today:

- How to make your podcast the right length
Podcasts are a multi-tasking and very personal medium - that is, you can listen to a podcast while you do something else...many places in your life on can listen too. Does knowing how long listening opportunities are?

The average commuting time in the US is 26 minutes. If you make a podcast longer than the average commute time, would be less those listening while commuting. Shorter, can make some feel disappointed.

The overall average length of a podcast is 43 minutes
But that 43 minutes figure includes all podcasts, whether they're popular or not.

How long is a popular one? It turns out that the average length of a top 100 podcast (in October 2018) is 53 minutes. So does it really matter or should it matter for different genres… like video game podcasts are 90 minutes

My NewMediaShow is 90+ minutes long and it has 12,000 plus listeners per episode - podcast about podcasting...
