This week Thom and Aaron talk alongside successful podcast host, Colin Nottage, creator of the Interesting Health And Safety Podcast, about Thoms 2022 Predictions for podcasting!

The team discuss their predictions about innovations in the world of podcasting in 2022, and the trends you should be looking to expect, and how to plan for them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building an engaged following isn’t about huge numbers. It’s far better to niche down to a more nuanced and interested audience. The more connected you are to your audience, the more valuable your message becomes.
• The modern world, and the new methods of delivering content, mean that competition in the podcasting space is redundant. There is plenty of room for shows to exist in harmony, and no need to choose one above another.
• A decentralised social media experience, in which multiple channels can be used, means that you are never at the mercy of one channel and its codes. Putting too many eggs in one basket can lead to a loss of income should access be revoked.
• Always ensure that the nature of your content is evergreen. You need to produce content that will live beyond the current time, so that it can be used and discovered at any time.
• Ads can be a powerful way of monetising your show, but always work more effectively if your audience is engaged, and wants to hear about what you are recommending.
• The best way to attract guests is to know them well, appeal to them by proving how valuable they are, and explaining not just how they could impact your content, but how yours could benefit them.
