The Podcast Report

Podcasting is so fun and so "easy" that it's often our path to look at "how" we do something in Podcasting.

May I suggest that we should, sometimes, look at the "who?"

The Podcast channel you understand the least might be the source of your best audience.

You might not be a fan of Spotify. You might not even "get" Spotify. It doesn't matter.

Turn down $200 CPM? Am I crazy?

In this InbetweeniSode, I explain why I didn't take an add for this episode - even though the money was really good and the market-message match for my audience even better.

Tip - I produce assets, not episodes.

Podcasting Is A Distribution Game / Not A Platform Issue

Podcast Predictions for 2019. What do you think?

#1 - Pandora Impact Becomes Exponentially Bigger Than Google

#2 - Major Changes At Apple Podcasts

#3 - Instagram Becomes A Primary Podcaster Marketing Vehicle

The bottom line:

#1 - Podcasting Is A Distribution Game / Not A Platform Issue

#2 - Never Forget Who Owns The Playground

#3 - Market Where Your Market Is

Beware anyone who makes bold Podcast Predictions without a past history of seeing some real success in previous predictions. Next episode Paul Colligan will share his Podcasting Predictions for 2019, but in this live recording, shares the results from his last past 2 years of podcast predictions.

You can Google previous years if you want.

If you have no plan for Podcast discovery, don't complain if your Podcast isn't discovered.

Pandora just might be able to help with that. Even if it doesn't, you still need to pay attention.

Pandora now does Podcasts - and Paul Colligan examines what this means to Podcasting, and his clients, on this episode (150) of The Podcast Report.

If you want to listen to the full episode, you'll have to visit http://ThePodcastReport.com/Pandora on a mobile device.

Want the Top Ten List - send "TopTen" to (503) 966 8066.

It's pretty exciting to have this Pandora only episode of The Podcast Report. If you get a chance, please consider telling someone about it.

What is "beast mode" and why does it matter for Podcasting?

This special "InbetweeniSode" of The Podcast Report (we'll get a better name soon) is an unofficial launch of Season 6 and the beginning test of something great.

Going live to talk about Skype Cloud Recording and the Podcaster. Questions about the topic will be answered, if possible, live. Answers not about the topic won't be answered. All will make sense soon ;-)

Because nobody "owns" Podcasting, everyone acts like they do. It's what I call the "Authority Paradox" of Podcasting and it's having a big impact on our industry.
