On the show today:

- International Podcast Advertising is Growing
We announced a deal with DAX to drive more podcast advertising opportunities to all podcasters building audiences outside of the USA into countries like UK, but are doing it in Canada, Italy, Spain and other countries.We are growing this area with our international presence.

Podcasting solution provider Voxnest announces today that it has partnered with DAX to help monetize UK audiences. Voxnest customers, including those on the company’s Spreaker platform, now have the benefit of DAX monetization, while advertisers can take advantage of advanced targeting and measurement solutions.

“It’s an exciting time to be involved in this medium, and we’re confident that our easy-to-use, efficient and scalable solution for creating, monetizing and distributing audio content will have a catalyzing effect on creators worldwide.”

This is utilizing Dynamic Ad Insertion technology at Voxnest to Spreaker to help all levels of podcasters to monetize.

- Record your podcast hand-free with Siri Shortcuts and Spreaker Studio

With iOS 12, Siri became more than just a voice assistant, it became your virtual mind reader, with the ability to recommend you things you should, or usually do, at particular times.

Siri now has the power to automatically identify your common tasks, location or calendar events and will tell you whether you should be somewhere or doing something.
Also, it suggests specific apps for specific situations, via its visual interface when you access Spotlight search or with the lock screen – meaning that you can repeat actions quickly and easily.

Now users will be able to record phrases which Siri will understand as triggers for predefined actions and this means that it’s even easier to access some of Spreaker Studio features in iOS on iPhone and iPad.

Example: Let your voice take control, use Spreaker Studio hands-free
Most interestingly though, there are two special Siri podcast commands available to use with your Spreaker Studio App which will make your podcasting life even easier.

First up, is the ‘Record Audio’ trigger, there’s no need to press a button, say the command and you’ll be recording. So even if you’re out and about and doing 200 other things at once, there’s no excuse now not to get podcasting!

- Listener Comments & Questions:

Mark Dowding - Spreaker Podcaster here - https://www.spreaker.com/user/maninbeta

I have to admit I am with Alex on the Pandora thing. Being from outside the USA

I don't even see my podcasts getting on to their platform, can we even get on to the Google platform yet?

The other issue I have is with listener feedback. Is this going to be yet another place I have to check for listener comments?

I don't want to alienate people by not responding to them. But there are too many platforms now to keep track of and see feedback on.

I am now of the opinion that if you know your audience then you know where they are mostly consuming their content.

I do a Football Manager podcast, a niche made mostly of a younger audience who consume a lot through youtube and Soundcloud. So those are the platforms I focus on (outside of the usual Apple, RSS crowd).

On the show today:

- Pandora Podcasts Is Finally Here
Yes, Spreaker is working with Pandora
Yes, Your show will have the opportunity to be considered for inclusion
We will be announcing a path for that next week
What is the Pandora Podcast Genome Project
Pandora's podcast genome project, which aims to do for podcasts what its music genome project did for music, has launched in public beta. The new initiative hopes to introduce listeners to podcasts they might enjoy based on prior listening habits, and was first announced earlier this year.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181113005338/en/Pandora-Launches-Podcast-Offering-Powered-Podcast-Genome
- You can ask for early beta access here if you are a current pandora user - http://pandorapodcastbeta.splashthat.com/PR
Pandora will roll out beta access to select listeners on mobile devices. Those interested in early access to the offering can sign-up here, with general availability in the coming weeks.
“It might feel like podcasts are ubiquitous, but, eighty-three percent of Americans aren’t yet listening to podcasts on a weekly basis, and a majority of them report that’s because they simply don’t know where to start,” said Roger Lynch, Chief Executive Officer, Pandora. “Making podcasts – both individual episodes and series – easy to discover and simple to experience is how we plan to greatly grow podcast listening while simultaneously creating new and more sustainable ways to monetize them.”
genres including News, Sports, Comedy, Music, Business, Technology, Entertainment, True Crime, Kids, Health and Science
With the introduction of podcasts, listeners can now easily enjoy all of their audio interests – music, comedy, news, sports, or politics – on Pandora, the streaming service that knows their individual listening habits the best
The Podcast Genome Project’s unique episode-level understanding of content knows exactly what podcast you’ll want to discover next, and will serve it up through a seamless in-product experience that is uniquely personalized to each listener and will continue to grow with their tastes over time.

- Growing Interest in Complex Storytelling Podcast Productions?
Up in Vancouver I saw some Masterclass type sessions on very advanced reality and fictional story telling productions
But we need more workshops on how small groups can pull together interesting shows using simple processes and tools - using hacks and tricks to reduce production time and expense to expand the numbers of people and companies wanting to product really great sounding podcasts


- Coming Events Spreaker will be at:
Podcon.com in Seattle - Jan 19-20, 2019 - Large event

- Listener Comments & Questions:

Mark Dowding
Some of those fictional shows are great - Wolverine is amazing, Weird Al is involved in one which is a period drama based in Hollywood during the golden era.

But at the end of the day they are just radio plays - and this is really where radio will help raise the bar in podcasting, by bringing greater creativity to the medium. They can keep their over advertised, music heavy shows.

- How to Submit a Podcast to Spotify
the most famous digital audio content platform in the world with 159 million users worldwide and a reported 83 million paying subscribers in June 2018 (up from 57 million in June 2017).
Spotify re-hosts your show which means if you have your ads set with Dynamic Ad Insertion they won’t be played – but keep your eyes peeled as Podnews recently stated in one of their recent newsletters that Spotify are currently testing pass-through shows!
What’s Needed To Get Approved on Spotify
This is where we want to explain to you the basics for getting your audio content “Spotify ready”! At a basic level, to submit your podcast to Spotify you need to make sure it is in the following format:

-MP3 format with a good quality level: audio with bitrates between 96 and 320 kbps).
-Size: Each episode needs to be under 200MB. 200MB works out to be around 83 minutes at 320Kbps or over 200 minutes at 128Kbps.
-Podcast Image: your artwork must be square (1:1), the highest resolution possible and either a JPEG or PNG.
-Podcast feed values: special characters, in particular the ampersand (&) character must be HTML encoded (&). HTML tags such as or will be removed by Spotify.
-Episode titles: should not exceed 20 characters to ensure they sit well on all Spotify screens.
-Podcast feed fields: All podcast feeds must have a title, image and at least 1 episode to qualify.
-Last but definitely not least, always make sure that your content doesn’t include any copyrighted materials (Podsafe content is fine!).
How Long Does it Take and How Do I Know if I’ve Been Approved?
Now you’ve sent your podcast to Spotify it’s all just a waiting game! Approval can take anywhere between a few hours to 5 days.
The best way to get your podcast on Spotify is to host it on one of the recommended platforms, such as: Spreaker, Libsyn or Podbean. If you’re hosting your podcast on SoundCloud you might use the form from Spotify. https://artists.spotify.com/faq/popular#how-do-i-get-a-podcast-on-spotify
https://podcasters.spotify.com/
Where do you see Spotify statistics?
After your show starts to get plays on Spotify you’ll no doubt want to see what effect it has on your listens! Although Spotify doesn’t give podcasters direct access to their stats and data, most of the numbers you need to know you’ll find by checking your host platform.
Spreaker has made sure your Statistics Dashboard on your CMS page includes your Spotify plays and downloads and when you access your Sources page

- Is Apple iWatch Dramatically Changing Podcast Listening?
- Does Podcasting Need a New Professional Association
- Enabling your Spreaker Monetization Tools
- Listener Comments & Questions


On the show today:

-Is Apple Watch Dramatically Changing Podcast Listening?
9-10% of the Downloads for this Show is going to Apple Watch and “AirPods”
Voxnest the parent company Spreaker has said that data on average is showing, 9.4% of all podcast downloads on an Apple Watch device. With Amazing 'bumps” higher to 13% on Weekends..
Apple Watches gained the option to play podcasts in mid September.
That is fast adoption and change. Not sure if it is growth in listening, but could be?
the ability to have Podcasts app on the watch has been added by watchOS 5, the latest operating system available for Apple Watch. It goes together with iOS12 (on the iPhone).
For sure, you can both download episodes on the watch and play them later (offline) but also play them as a stream.

-Do We Need a New Podcasting Association?
Any industry association needs to be a) international; b) representative of the industry (so have NPR in there as well as indies); c) the blessing of Apple, Spotify and Google.

You might be asking a simple question of Why? Yes again, we have been here before and it was called the Association of Downloadable Media (ADM). It was a grassroots started organization formed by some of the larger players in the podcasting space back in 2008.

Now ten years later and much maturity in the market has occurred, but most new people to podcasting will not have known this history. It is also true that it does not matter now much what happened in the past, but what we do now going forward. I agree with that thought, but some lessons can be learned from that experience to make an organization work this time.

The ADM was mostly a failure by most measures with group in fighting and backroom closed door communications in efforts to control the efforts of the group, but some good came out of it and we did set some very basic measurement standards that has carried the overall podcasting industry till the more recent efforts by the IAB Podcast Metrics Working Group to establish v.1 and more recently IAB v.2 Podcast Metrics Standards.

The thought is to create and industry group that can collaborate to create more standards in the industry around advertising formats, best practices around dynamic ad insertion and programmatic ad buying. The large brands and agencies need some whitepapers with examples of successful advertising campaigns.

As we see host/talent read ad spots converge more with programmatic buying platforms we will see revenue grow in the podcasting medium.

Clearly we also need to keep working on audio playing client side metrics to realize the complete picture of listening from downloaded podcast audio files.

This new unnamed podcast industry association would enable everyone to come together around growing the listening side of the podcasting industry with the potential of co-op online and offline marketing and promotion.

I have a proposed name for the new association and that might be “Professional Podcast Association” (PPA) or “Global Podcast Association” (GPA). Please reach out and let me know if you have any other ideas about this proposal – rob at robgreenlee dotcom.

Linda Irwin
I listen to pod-casts when I am home (most of the time) and listen to radio when we are travelling in the truck (not very much). I really do not cross over the two.

All the National Radio Ads Running for the event on 1,000’s of radio stations
Getting your show submitted to iHeartRadio is easy on Spreaker
But radio reaches a little older audience then typical podcast listener today

Podcasting has stronger attention and engagement level to the the content then radio has?

- Listener Comments & Questions:

THE FRINGE FM
My show LTV has grown entirely off of interviews. The trick is to ALSO be intimate with your audience...don't do the entire show as an interview if possible.

Ileane
I don't think podfaded shows need to be removed, I just think they should be further down in search results -- not at the very top.

Ileane
I think that listening in the car might be impacted by how many people are in the car with you. I know that I don't listen to podcasts if I have someone in the car with me. Do you?


Andrew McGivern
Some of the podfaded shows are still relevant though. If the content is evergreen and still valuable it should still rank... but there are a lot of podcasts that rank that are not evergreen.

On the show today:

- Is Podcasting Market in an Adjustment Phase - No Podcast Bubble Burst
PODCASTING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE one of the saviors of digital media—inexpensive, addicting, profitable, and popular.
https://www.cjr.org/the_new_gatekeepers/podcast-bubble-burst.php
It is tough to say we had too much quality content in the medium
Maybe too much content for the listen side to support
Podfather Adam Curry pushes back on Podcast Bubble Bursting
https://noagendasocial.com/@adam/100786368478846505
We need more listeners and how we count it needs to yet still be certified to be consistant

- Why has In-Car Podcast Audio Listening Stalled
While podcast listening is clearly growing, for most people.
Listening to a podcast in the car can be more trouble than it’s worth to many.
The radio that is baked into the car is easy to use, comes with a lifetime of habituation, and provides good enough content (music, talk radio) for the overwhelming majority of people.
Blend that with the fact that most individual rides are not that long, and bothering with a podcast (or audiobook) is just not worth it for most people.
Edison Research unveiled some data about in-car audio. Podcasting appeared to be part of the "other" category, at less than 4% of all audio listened-to in the car.

Listener Comments & Questions:

FreeCircle Hi guys, I love the name of your show! I feel it gives you an authority like feeling in the business. Gives me that feeling you know what you are talking about. The name got me hooked. Great job to the both of you we learn a lot. Thanks.

I've taught five people at my job in the last month how to listen to a podcast and I always load mines on there first. LOL
