In this episode of The Podcast Report, Paul Colligan examines 3 big mistakes he see all too often in Podcasting - and what YOU can do about them.

Paul recorded this episode of The Podcast Report in front of a LIVE AUDIENCE demonstrating that there really are two skills in Podcasting - The Tech AND The Content. To show how easy the tech is, he used a simple $20 microphone on his phone to record this episode. A more traditional episode next week ...

A recent review of my "How To Podcast 2015" book said that the book “tries too hard at times to be a contrarian and gives little reason and/or evidence for many of his more "unique" Podcasting concepts.”

There is some truth to this - and some misunderstanding. Yes, I give little reason or evidence for my "unique" Podcasting concepts but i figured this is a book about "How To Podcast" - with the goal of getting them Podcasting, quickly.

So, I thought I'd take this episode of The Podcast Report to answer some of the questions brought up in this review - and, as always, ask a few of my own.

Ad blocking is a big topic these days - and will be a big topic for some time to come. Although there are no ad blocking apps for Podcasts currently, every Podcast should examine what they can learn from, and do about, this trend.

Apple made some big announcements that should cause all Podcasters to sit down and take notice. If the "future" of television really is apps, it's probably the future of Podcasts as well.
