Predictions from Last year:

Second Podcast movement – Less “Entrepreneur” focused - SORT OF

NMX/NAB – Best podcast event ever! - Was good, but the best? Might have been the last one :(

I will release “The NO BS Guide to Podcasting” in March and it will reach #1 on Amazon for Podcasting. (yes, bold and wishful thinking!) - BONK! nope…

I will Produce 50 episodes of Podcast Help Desk in 2015. (Leaving myself room to skip a couple but maybe even 52) - Nope… 37

This will be the year of the Story-telling podcast copy-cat. Like 2014 was the year of the Entrepreneur podcast. - Sort of

At least one popular Entrepreneur podcast will pod-fade (likely 100’s of copy-cats as well) - Several have pod faded, not sure about any major ones

Soundcloud will be sold and their Podcasting “Beta” program will be turned off. - Not yet, but we still have a few days left in 2015

Google will announce that Feedburner is going away in 2016 - not yet

Google will announce a Podcast listening app and directory for Android. (Crossing my fingers) - DING DING DING! Google Play

At least one “podcasting company” will shut down unexpectedly. (Not much of a stretch because it happens at least once every year) - We have had several shut down

In April, I will celebrate my 10 year anniversary in podcasting (Not sure of exact date) - Ding ding ding ( April 2015 was my 10 year anniversary in podcasting)

Predictions for 2016 in Podcasting

Soundcloud will no longer be a podcast media host

There will be at least one new podcast media host

There will be at least one new podcast media host go out of business

I will release “The NO BS Guide to Podcasting”. No Really…. I am going to finish it :)

Feedburner will still exist all year long.

Podcast Movement will be a big success. (no brainer)

Blab will start charging “something” for service or will start some sort of advertising. (Not talked about in the show)

A major player in the podcasting space (company) will change names / rebrand.

There will be a major Movie announced that features podcasting in the central plot. (not a documentary or independent film)
