Transcript
1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600
I am flying to Los Angeles to speak at Podcasting

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,440
Movement next week. And if I wanna go anywhere once I

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,974
land and I get to my hotel, I have to figure out what is the

4
00:00:10,974 --> 00:00:14,415
address of the hotel because to get from

5
00:00:14,415 --> 00:00:17,855
here to there, I have to know where here

6
00:00:17,855 --> 00:00:21,520
is. Well, right now, a group of

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,980
awesome podcast developers are trying to take podcasting

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,955
from here to there with more features,

9
00:00:29,414 --> 00:00:32,795
more engagement, and a better experience growth for the podcaster

10
00:00:33,415 --> 00:00:37,020
and the listener. And that initiative is called Podcasting

11
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,920
2.0. And so what I wanted to know is

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,700
what are your thoughts on Podcasting 2.0 so I can figure out where

13
00:00:44,895 --> 00:00:48,495
here is, so I can go back to the team and go, alright. This is

14
00:00:48,495 --> 00:00:51,635
what people are thinking. So if we want to get them to

15
00:00:51,935 --> 00:00:55,379
there, where everyone is embracing it, we gotta figure out

16
00:00:55,379 --> 00:00:58,920
first where is here. Also,

17
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:02,600
Google Podcasts is going away in just a few weeks,

18
00:01:02,805 --> 00:01:06,645
and so I spent some time with apps. None of them do

19
00:01:06,645 --> 00:01:10,405
what I want an app to do, but I'm gonna give you 3 that come

20
00:01:10,405 --> 00:01:13,210
very, very close. Hit it, ladies.

21
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:23,115
Podcasting since 2 1,005. I am

22
00:01:23,115 --> 00:01:26,715
your award winning hall of fame podcast coach, Dave

23
00:01:26,715 --> 00:01:30,475
Jackson. Thanking you so much for tuning in. If you are new to the

24
00:01:30,475 --> 00:01:34,159
show, this is where we help you plan, launch,

25
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:38,080
grow, and monetize, if you want to, your podcast.

26
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,515
My website is school of podcasting.com.

27
00:01:42,174 --> 00:01:46,015
If you throw on a slash listener to that or just use the coupon code

28
00:01:46,015 --> 00:01:49,799
listener, you will save on either your monthly or yearly subscription.

29
00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:54,579
And one of the things I do is the last episode of the

30
00:01:54,579 --> 00:01:58,274
month, we have a question that I throw out to you and

31
00:01:58,274 --> 00:02:02,034
then you answer it, then you promote your show a little bit. And

32
00:02:02,034 --> 00:02:05,850
so one of the things that started about 3 years ago

33
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:10,009
is an initiative called podcasting 2.0.

34
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:14,495
And the technology that runs

35
00:02:14,495 --> 00:02:18,334
podcasting is called RSS. We're not gonna get that nerdy

36
00:02:18,334 --> 00:02:22,129
about this just for the record. But there are people that would come along

37
00:02:22,129 --> 00:02:25,969
and, like, man, this would be so much better. We should ditch RSS and

38
00:02:25,969 --> 00:02:29,409
use this. And this way, no. We should use this. And then we should nah.

39
00:02:29,409 --> 00:02:32,775
Nah. Nah. Right. And then the one of the guys that invented

40
00:02:33,155 --> 00:02:36,515
podcasting, Adam Curry, said, what if we just make RSS feed

41
00:02:36,515 --> 00:02:40,190
betters? And people went, oh. And so that's

42
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:43,410
really the heart what podcasting 2.0

43
00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:47,765
is. And it's been adopted by a

44
00:02:47,765 --> 00:02:51,444
fair number of people. I'll get into that a little later. But for

45
00:02:51,444 --> 00:02:54,550
me, I've always kinda thought that maybe

46
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:59,250
it's lacking kind of a marketing initiative. And Daniel j Lewis

47
00:02:59,250 --> 00:03:02,855
from the Audacity to podcast and James Gridland from podnews.net

48
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:07,495
have created a site to help that. But one of the things

49
00:03:08,275 --> 00:03:12,020
when you are trying to drive someplace, the first thing you have to

50
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:15,459
figure out is, well, where am I? Right? The

51
00:03:15,459 --> 00:03:18,980
GPS has to figure out where you are so it can figure out where to

52
00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:22,665
go. And so my thought was, well, you know, we've been talking

53
00:03:22,665 --> 00:03:26,265
about podcasting 2.0. How confused are

54
00:03:26,265 --> 00:03:29,990
people? Do they understand what it is? What's the pros? What's the

55
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:33,450
cons? What's going on when somebody says podcasting 2.0?

56
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:38,005
And that's the question of the month. And I'll tell you,

57
00:03:38,545 --> 00:03:41,965
at the end of this, there are some things that are very cool about

58
00:03:41,965 --> 00:03:45,480
podcasting 2.0. I'm gonna compare what's

59
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,860
called value for value. This is one of the the benefits

60
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,175
of being podcasting 2.0 enabled is you

61
00:03:53,175 --> 00:03:56,795
can let your audience give you money directly.

62
00:03:57,335 --> 00:04:01,130
So if somebody says, hey, man. You said booger, and that's

63
00:04:01,130 --> 00:04:04,970
offensive, and I'm offended. And and and I'm gonna go after

64
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:08,725
your sponsors, and you just basically birds a waving at them. Just

65
00:04:08,725 --> 00:04:12,505
go, yeah. I don't have any sponsors. And you'll be amazed

66
00:04:13,045 --> 00:04:16,880
at what people sometimes give you. So that's coming up. That's the that's a

67
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,680
lot of the big things that people talk about. That's also here's that's the good

68
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,980
side. Like, oh, I like money. The bad news is it's still

69
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,794
pretty nerdy. But let's get back to the question,

70
00:04:28,014 --> 00:04:31,506
what do you think when you hear the phrase podcasting

71
00:04:31,694 --> 00:04:35,220
2.0? Hi. This is Ethan Rees with The

72
00:04:35,220 --> 00:04:39,000
Daily Sports History Show. And for me, podcast 2.0

73
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,055
is super technical, and I know almost nothing about it.

74
00:04:43,055 --> 00:04:46,735
Really, all I know is what you talk about on your different shows, Dave,

75
00:04:46,735 --> 00:04:50,560
and that's how I've learned about it and how I know about it. And I

76
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,400
see it every now and then mentioned in news articles and things, but I

77
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,145
don't really dive too far into it because, first off, I don't

78
00:04:58,145 --> 00:05:01,985
wanna find another podcast app. It's very difficult for me. I had

79
00:05:01,985 --> 00:05:05,105
to do it. I used Stitcher before and had to find a new one when

80
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:07,680
they closed down. It was hard for me to find a new app, and I

81
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
think it would be hard for others to find new apps. So I think that

82
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,640
podcast 2.0 needs to be integrated into these current

83
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,465
apps, which may be difficult. I know nothing about it, so I

84
00:05:18,465 --> 00:05:22,224
have no idea. But changing to an app that already uses it, I think, is

85
00:05:22,224 --> 00:05:26,020
gonna be very difficult for current users. Maybe someone getting new

86
00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:29,780
into podcasting would be more apt to learn it and get it

87
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:33,345
directly from a podcasting 2.0. But for me, it's not

88
00:05:33,585 --> 00:05:37,285
anything I think I would do at the moment. And if you enjoy

93
00:05:52,205 --> 00:05:55,884
Ethan, thank you so much. There are no wrong answers, by the way. This is

94
00:05:55,884 --> 00:05:59,550
not it's just an opinion poll, and that was a great opinion. Thank you, Ethan.

95
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:03,310
And I'll say this now. Everybody that contributed, they get a link in the

96
00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:07,155
show notes back to your website. So if you're listening to this and you're

97
00:06:07,155 --> 00:06:10,595
gonna hear the question of the month come up a little later, yeah, it's something

98
00:06:10,595 --> 00:06:14,435
called free publicity. Hey, Dave. It's Ralph from the Ask Ralph podcast. You can

99
00:06:14,435 --> 00:06:17,070
find that at ask ralph podcast.com

100
00:06:18,090 --> 00:06:21,870
where I tackle all of your financial questions from a Christian perspective.

101
00:06:22,410 --> 00:06:26,175
So the question of the month is podcasting 2.0. I thought about

102
00:06:26,175 --> 00:06:29,455
it for a moment. Is this something I have to download or update? So I

103
00:06:29,455 --> 00:06:32,995
guess the immediate answer to your question is, what is podcasting

104
00:06:33,135 --> 00:06:36,690
2.0? Well, since that time, I did a little digging, and the

105
00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:40,370
features of the Podcasting 2.0 really look pretty cool to me. And there's

106
00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:44,074
gonna be some nifty features coming our way. So I'm looking forward to the

107
00:06:44,074 --> 00:06:47,535
2 point o platform and unlocking those new and exciting

108
00:06:47,595 --> 00:06:51,330
avenues for my podcast, and I hope others will find value in them too.

109
00:06:51,409 --> 00:06:55,250
Thank you, Ralph. Ralph is a member of the School of Podcasting, and that man

110
00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:58,770
is inquisitive. And that's a good thing. That's as a teacher, that's what you

111
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:02,615
want. And I think one of the we only got 4 answers to this.

112
00:07:02,615 --> 00:07:06,294
This is probably the one that I was really sweating. I'm like, is this gonna

113
00:07:06,294 --> 00:07:09,580
be the month when I'm like, nobody answered the question. But I think there are

114
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:12,759
a lot of people, like, I have no I don't even understand the question.

115
00:07:13,220 --> 00:07:15,940
And I love people to send it in. I'm like, I don't know what you're

116
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:19,685
talking about. So that is an acceptable answer, and I'll get

117
00:07:19,685 --> 00:07:23,445
into kinda what it is a little later in very plain English here. But we

118
00:07:23,445 --> 00:07:27,190
got 2 more answers. Podcasting 2.0. What do I

119
00:07:27,190 --> 00:07:30,970
know about it? And, if I do know about it, what do I think?

120
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:34,410
That is the question that's being asked of me.

121
00:07:35,385 --> 00:07:38,985
Hi. My name is Zo Richardson from Backlook

122
00:07:38,985 --> 00:07:42,365
Cinema, the podcast. You can find us on backlookcinema.com.

123
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:47,730
And that is a great question. The honest answer is

124
00:07:48,670 --> 00:07:51,970
I don't know much about it. I know that is a thing

125
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:55,895
that is happening that people inside podcasting

126
00:07:56,195 --> 00:08:00,035
talk about a lot. And my understanding is that it's

127
00:08:00,035 --> 00:08:03,560
some type of upgrade to podcasting

128
00:08:03,699 --> 00:08:07,139
that I guess makes the podcast story your

129
00:08:07,139 --> 00:08:10,440
podcast more accessible to your listeners,

130
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:14,884
but everything else in it and about it is a

131
00:08:14,884 --> 00:08:18,485
little bit fuzzy. I remember listening to The

132
00:08:18,485 --> 00:08:21,970
Feed, the official Lipson podcasting, and Elsie

133
00:08:21,970 --> 00:08:25,729
Escobar said that we're just getting people to

134
00:08:25,729 --> 00:08:29,430
understand podcast itself, just the concept

135
00:08:29,889 --> 00:08:33,554
of listening to an audio program on your

136
00:08:33,554 --> 00:08:37,235
phone. So anything beyond that is so

137
00:08:37,235 --> 00:08:41,049
advanced that it really isn't worth

138
00:08:41,049 --> 00:08:44,810
the conversation, at least not right now. For

139
00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:48,355
the most part, people who are my

140
00:08:48,355 --> 00:08:52,035
age and older, like, I'm in my fifties, so even somebody in their

141
00:08:52,035 --> 00:08:55,820
forties, they hardly know what a podcast is, and

142
00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:59,420
the adoption rate among the younger crowd is much higher

143
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:03,235
than the adoption rate among the older crowd. And

144
00:09:03,235 --> 00:09:06,755
the people that I normally talk to, just getting them to

145
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:10,195
understand how they can listen to and enjoy

146
00:09:10,195 --> 00:09:13,480
podcasts is much more challenging

147
00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:18,019
than talking to them about something like a movie or

148
00:09:18,019 --> 00:09:21,725
TV or radio. Those are easier concepts for

149
00:09:21,725 --> 00:09:25,345
someone to wrap their heads around. So those are my thoughts.

150
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:29,325
Thanks, Dave, for asking the question. Oh, thank you so much.

151
00:09:29,325 --> 00:09:33,060
Here's the thing. Back in the day, like, many, many like,

152
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:36,899
decades ago, I used to teach sales. And one of the things you have to

153
00:09:36,899 --> 00:09:40,625
know is when somebody has an

154
00:09:40,625 --> 00:09:44,305
objective, you have to have an answer. And these are

155
00:09:44,305 --> 00:09:47,820
great where somebody's like, yeah. That's not gonna work for me. You have to go,

156
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:51,339
oh, and then you have to explain the benefit. And in some cases, I don't

157
00:09:51,339 --> 00:09:54,720
know that we have a answer for some of these objections.

158
00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:58,925
Hello, Dave. This is Brandon. I am pleased to announce that I have just

159
00:09:58,925 --> 00:10:02,704
launched my first podcast. It's not the personal productivity

160
00:10:02,845 --> 00:10:06,420
podcast that I've been working on. That is coming. But in the meantime,

161
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:10,019
I decided that I wanted to document my progress and share some

162
00:10:10,019 --> 00:10:13,620
lessons that I've learned on my journey as a volunteer reader for

163
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:17,285
LibriVox. I started recording for LibriVox about a year

164
00:10:17,285 --> 00:10:20,885
ago as a way to practice mic technique and to up my game in

165
00:10:20,885 --> 00:10:24,370
editing. Now there's a lot to learn about the LibriVox community

166
00:10:24,510 --> 00:10:28,350
beyond just simple narration. I suppose you could call this a soft

167
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:32,095
launch since I don't have a domain name and I haven't registered the podcast

168
00:10:32,095 --> 00:10:35,714
on any of the indices yet. But you can find it at brandonreeds.github.io.

169
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,959
And a link to the RSS feed is provided. More about

170
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:46,420
that in a moment. Now, about podcasting

171
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,215
2.0. I work in the field of software development,

172
00:10:50,515 --> 00:10:53,795
and I've been keeping an eye on this spec since the day I first heard

173
00:10:53,795 --> 00:10:57,509
about it. Of the 29 new tags, 3 of

174
00:10:57,509 --> 00:11:01,029
them in particular interest me, especially in the context of using

175
00:11:01,029 --> 00:11:04,635
podcasting as an instructional medium. The

176
00:11:04,635 --> 00:11:08,475
first is chapters. When I watch a YouTube video to learn

177
00:11:08,475 --> 00:11:12,240
something, and for me that's almost always something technical, I really

178
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,020
appreciate it when a table of contents has been added to the video's description.

179
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,954
It allows me to jump ahead to just the content I need to view. And

180
00:11:19,954 --> 00:11:23,795
that's what I want for podcasting too. Granted, this is not something I

181
00:11:23,795 --> 00:11:27,555
would use for casual listening. But for instructional podcast, I think it is

182
00:11:27,555 --> 00:11:31,080
a necessity. I also really like the concept of chapter

183
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,760
art. This can turn a podcast episode into a slideshow

184
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,345
presentation. Again, not super useful when I'm mowing the

185
00:11:38,345 --> 00:11:42,185
lawn, but really handy for educational purposes. And it's nice to

186
00:11:42,185 --> 00:11:45,660
see that this tag is popular. It's currently supported by 19

187
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:49,279
apps. The next tag is seasons and the ability

188
00:11:49,339 --> 00:11:52,995
to name seasons in particular. This seems like a great

189
00:11:52,995 --> 00:11:56,495
way to group content by topic. I'm talking about

190
00:11:56,495 --> 00:12:00,115
monetization, of course. Fiction podcasting have an obvious use case

191
00:12:00,115 --> 00:12:03,890
for seasons. But imagine a podcast that covers various topics

192
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:07,490
in, say, mathematics. Episodes could be grouped by the

193
00:12:07,490 --> 00:12:10,915
specific type of math. Geometry and calculus

194
00:12:11,214 --> 00:12:15,055
would have their own episode lists. One observation though, the

195
00:12:15,055 --> 00:12:18,690
documentation for this tag states that the decision to display the

196
00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:22,130
season number can be left up to the app. But I'd like to see

197
00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:25,430
an additional attribute that allows the podcaster

198
00:12:26,004 --> 00:12:29,064
to override this decision and to hide the season number.

199
00:12:29,524 --> 00:12:32,185
Only 6 apps support this tag right now.

200
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Finally, I find the social interact tag intriguing. If I

201
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,960
understand it correctly, this puts a link to the conversation about the

202
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,715
episode right there in the player. Again, I'm thinking about how useful

203
00:12:44,715 --> 00:12:48,235
this could be for students. I'm also happy to see the

204
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:51,855
activity pub protocol being highlighted so prominently in the documentation.

205
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:56,140
I've spent some time on the Mastodon platform and I see a lot of

206
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:59,875
promise in the future of the Feddy verse. So

207
00:12:59,875 --> 00:13:03,635
in case you are wondering about that GitHub address where my new podcast

208
00:13:03,635 --> 00:13:07,315
is hosted, this project is as much a development project for me

209
00:13:07,315 --> 00:13:10,900
as it is an audio endeavor. I'm actually coding the RSS

210
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:14,660
feed by hand. And in the next few weeks, I plan to incorporate some of

211
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:17,800
the podcasting 2 dot o tags. Beginning with chapters.

212
00:13:18,685 --> 00:13:22,365
I currently have 5 podcast players installed on my phone and

213
00:13:22,365 --> 00:13:25,565
one on my home computer, and I will be using all of them to test

214
00:13:25,565 --> 00:13:29,410
the feed. So do I think it is difficult to get listeners to

215
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:33,010
switch apps? Not at all. At least not as long as the

216
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:36,845
benefits are clearly communicated. As always, thank

217
00:13:36,845 --> 00:13:40,384
you, Dave, for all you do to educate and encourage our podcasting

218
00:13:40,524 --> 00:13:44,110
community. That was amazing. This is why I have to

219
00:13:44,110 --> 00:13:47,630
say you have to know who your audience is. Obviously, a

220
00:13:47,630 --> 00:13:51,365
much technical background than maybe some of the other listeners, and

221
00:13:51,365 --> 00:13:55,045
you get a completely different answer. Thank you so much for the

222
00:13:55,045 --> 00:13:58,805
homework you did on that. That's helping me explain some of the cool things that

223
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:02,089
are coming down the pike. We're gonna send it over to York to bring it

224
00:14:02,089 --> 00:14:05,529
home. Hi, Dave. This is York from Welcome to Earth

225
00:14:05,529 --> 00:14:09,145
Stories, a sci fi original show. When I

226
00:14:09,145 --> 00:14:12,904
think of podcasting 2.0, I have

227
00:14:12,904 --> 00:14:16,685
2 different minds on this. My first thought is that

228
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,680
it's geeky and I'm into geeky things. In fact, I

229
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,520
host a sci fi podcast that's listened to by

230
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,185
geeks from Japan, Jamaica, from all

231
00:14:28,245 --> 00:14:32,085
over the world, and I think they'll be interested in this. But my

232
00:14:32,085 --> 00:14:35,900
other mindset of this is the marketing aspect

233
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:39,500
of the 2.0. It's overwhelming. I mean,

234
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:43,340
it's kind of mixed in not deliberately, but it's just the

235
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:46,975
perception with Bitcoin. I know that it's 2

236
00:14:46,975 --> 00:14:50,655
separate things, but for a lot of people when

237
00:14:50,655 --> 00:14:53,740
they hear about it, that's what they think.

238
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,300
And Bitcoin has some kind of a bad reputation

239
00:14:59,079 --> 00:15:02,585
in certain circles and so they don't want to get

240
00:15:02,585 --> 00:15:05,945
involved in that. And that's unfortunate because it

241
00:15:05,945 --> 00:15:09,465
gives the Podcasting 2.0 a

242
00:15:09,465 --> 00:15:12,960
bad name as well. I think what would be good is some

243
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,100
clarity, some commercials and some

244
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,463
marketing tools just to make sure that the Podcasting

245
00:15:20,685 --> 00:15:24,145
2.0 is distinct, and I know that there's

246
00:15:24,365 --> 00:15:27,745
so many features. This kinda reminds me of

247
00:15:28,410 --> 00:15:31,770
2,007 when when Apple came out with their

248
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:35,529
beloved iPhone. There was other smartphones competing at

249
00:15:35,529 --> 00:15:39,225
the time, but they were all about the

250
00:15:39,225 --> 00:15:42,605
tech and all their commercials was about

251
00:15:43,145 --> 00:15:46,930
all the things that the software in the

252
00:15:46,930 --> 00:15:50,629
device could do. But Apple, they did a different take entirely.

253
00:15:51,009 --> 00:15:54,795
They didn't talk all about the technology. They talked about the

254
00:15:54,795 --> 00:15:58,555
experience. They made you feel that you

255
00:15:58,555 --> 00:16:02,149
want to be a part of their tribe. IPhone owners,

256
00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:06,230
they were a part of that community, and all of their commercials

257
00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:10,395
made you feel that, wow, if I have this product, then

258
00:16:10,395 --> 00:16:13,915
I have it all. And I think the same thing could be done with the

259
00:16:13,915 --> 00:16:17,675
Podcasting 2.0. I know that the

260
00:16:17,675 --> 00:16:21,510
Die Hard Geeks it's all about the Podcasting namespace.

261
00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:26,050
But for the rest of the regular folks out there, they

262
00:16:26,050 --> 00:16:29,725
really wanna know what's in it for them. They

263
00:16:29,725 --> 00:16:33,025
want to get that kind of vision, that vibe,

264
00:16:33,085 --> 00:16:36,765
that that fire in their belly to say, yes, I

265
00:16:36,765 --> 00:16:40,420
want to listen to this Podcasting a Podcast 2.0

266
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,480
app. I don't think we're there yet. I hope that

267
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,214
we will be soon, but I just don't think so. And, also, I

268
00:16:48,214 --> 00:16:51,574
did say there's 2 things, but the third thing, I listen to my

269
00:16:51,634 --> 00:16:55,090
podcasting on Pocket Cast. It's not one

270
00:16:55,470 --> 00:16:59,230
of the Podcasting 2.0 apps. I could switch and I thought

271
00:16:59,230 --> 00:17:02,750
about switching, but I I really enjoy my Pocket

272
00:17:02,750 --> 00:17:06,494
Cast. I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of

273
00:17:06,494 --> 00:17:10,035
the other ones, the Podcasting 2.0, that is,

274
00:17:10,175 --> 00:17:13,540
but it feels like home. There's gonna be a long

275
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,839
climb up the wall of people's comfortability. I'm not

276
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,585
sure how they're gonna do that. If you wanna check out my show,

277
00:17:21,965 --> 00:17:24,328
you could go to welcome to story.

278
00:17:25,885 --> 00:17:29,510
We're on Season 6 and Season 7

279
00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:33,210
is coming out later this year. This is a sci fi podcast.

280
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:37,215
There's also some government conspiracy theories thrown

281
00:17:37,215 --> 00:17:40,510
in for good measure. Welcome to earth story

282
00:17:41,295 --> 00:17:44,980
dot com. Thanks, Dave. You take care. Way to bring it

283
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:48,820
home, York. I deeply appreciate that. So in just

284
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:52,360
a second, we're gonna get into what is podcasting 2.0

285
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:56,345
in English, and I'm going to explain how if you

286
00:17:56,345 --> 00:17:59,565
compare that to, hey. I wanna start a podcast and get ads.

287
00:18:00,505 --> 00:18:04,250
Yeah. You'll be amazed. If you're new

288
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:07,630
to the show, I love analogies. So let's start off with 1.

289
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:11,309
Back in the fifties, if you bought a car,

290
00:18:12,315 --> 00:18:15,675
it had 4 tires, brake gas steering

291
00:18:15,675 --> 00:18:19,515
wheel, and maybe a radio, and a glove

292
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:22,860
box. That was about it. Probably some bucket seats in there.

293
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,000
And then somebody came up with a thing called power steering, which made it

294
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,385
much easier to turn the wheel. We went from,

295
00:18:31,085 --> 00:18:34,445
I remember when I was growing up, we had a car instead of having one

296
00:18:34,445 --> 00:18:38,240
big window for the, you know, in the front seat, you have these little

297
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,280
triangle things, and you could push them out and a bunch of air would come

298
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,580
rushing in. Then eventually came air conditioning. You get the idea.

299
00:18:45,335 --> 00:18:49,174
And so you start one place and you add more features. That's

300
00:18:49,174 --> 00:18:53,015
one way of looking at podcasting 2.0. So some of

301
00:18:53,015 --> 00:18:56,420
those features, and this is just some of them, one is

302
00:18:56,420 --> 00:19:00,260
called Podroll. And if you remember Myspace back in

303
00:19:00,260 --> 00:19:03,895
the day, you could pick x amount of friends. In fact, I think you do

304
00:19:03,895 --> 00:19:07,595
this now on Podchaser. But what's cool about it is you can say,

305
00:19:07,655 --> 00:19:11,360
hey. If you like this show, you should check out the Audacity of podcasting, and

306
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,039
you should check out, In and Around podcasting with Mark

307
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,515
Asquith and Danny, and you should check out this. Right? It's a way for you

308
00:19:18,515 --> 00:19:22,275
to suggest other shows, or you could point people if you have more than

309
00:19:22,275 --> 00:19:25,890
one show with that. Now the beauty of that is

310
00:19:25,890 --> 00:19:29,730
that's now data, and all the nerds

311
00:19:29,730 --> 00:19:33,429
can get together and make a chart based on that,

312
00:19:33,490 --> 00:19:36,595
based on the podcasting' recommendations.

313
00:19:37,615 --> 00:19:41,455
Pretty neat o. Then there are transcripts. Those are already here.

314
00:19:41,455 --> 00:19:44,820
In fact, that was everybody got all giddy. Giddy, I tell

315
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,440
you, because Apple used a podcasting 2.0

316
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:52,295
spec or a feature. Then you hear a lot about this one,

317
00:19:52,595 --> 00:19:56,355
value. There are 2 types. 1 is where you just put a link to maybe

318
00:19:56,355 --> 00:19:59,919
your PayPal or buy me a coffee. That's kinda cool.

319
00:20:00,059 --> 00:20:03,740
And then the other one is the Bitcoin thing. We'll talk about the Bitcoin thing,

320
00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:07,274
but here's the beauty of it, is the

321
00:20:07,274 --> 00:20:11,115
audience decides how much Bitcoin to

322
00:20:11,115 --> 00:20:14,809
send you per minute. And they do it in the same way

323
00:20:14,809 --> 00:20:18,590
that here in the US, we have the dollar, and then the smallest denomination

324
00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:22,270
is a penny. And there are 100 pennies in a dollar. Well,

325
00:20:22,815 --> 00:20:25,635
you have Bitcoin, and then I think it's 1 1 millionth

326
00:20:26,575 --> 00:20:30,390
of a Bitcoin is called a satoshi. And so you

327
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:34,150
can pick how many satoshis per minute you wanna send. And it'll

328
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:37,690
actually I use the podcasting Matic.

329
00:20:37,985 --> 00:20:41,505
And I have told you, if you listen to the old episodes, I loved and

330
00:20:41,505 --> 00:20:45,345
I still love Overcast. But the maker of Overcast said,

331
00:20:45,345 --> 00:20:49,039
nope. Not gonna implement it. Just I like my app the way it is.

332
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:52,779
It's his app. He can choose what he wants to do with it. And luckily,

333
00:20:52,779 --> 00:20:56,615
on the iOS side, there came Cast O Matic which looks

334
00:20:56,615 --> 00:21:00,155
and smells and tastes just like Cast O Matic, but it has

335
00:21:00,375 --> 00:21:03,675
that streaming value thing, and we'll get to that in just a second.

336
00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:07,770
But I can see how much I'm sending people. Now, you

337
00:21:07,770 --> 00:21:11,309
can also do this thing called a boost, sometimes called a boostogram.

338
00:21:11,995 --> 00:21:15,755
And this is the bravo, basically. If you're if you go to

339
00:21:15,755 --> 00:21:19,355
the theater, and at the end, you know, the the cast comes

340
00:21:19,355 --> 00:21:23,120
out after doing that play, and they take a bow and people go, bravo.

341
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,480
Bravo. And they stand up. Right? It's a way of going, look, I'm I know

342
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,195
I'm already clapping, but I'm gonna stand and just to show you

343
00:21:30,195 --> 00:21:34,035
my more appreciation. And this is a way for people to go, hey. I really

344
00:21:34,035 --> 00:21:37,715
like that. Have, you know, 5,000 satoshis or

345
00:21:37,715 --> 00:21:41,290
whatever, things like that. And it sounds great, but we'll we'll talk about that in

346
00:21:41,290 --> 00:21:44,270
a minute. Like, how what is 5,000 satoshis?

347
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:48,190
But you all said the same thing. When it came to Bitcoin, we're all like,

348
00:21:49,315 --> 00:21:52,674
eee. Yeah. It's a little new now. I you can you can buy and

349
00:21:52,674 --> 00:21:56,434
sell Bitcoin with PayPal and the Cash App, which is really

350
00:21:56,434 --> 00:21:59,700
popular, and it is coming on board. But right now,

351
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,540
it's, you know, it's not exactly what I call. And

352
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,365
if your name is Sheryl and you're an aunt, I don't mean

353
00:22:07,365 --> 00:22:10,905
any disrespect by this, but my brother had,

354
00:22:11,605 --> 00:22:15,045
an aunt in law named aunt Cheryl, and she was a lovely

355
00:22:15,045 --> 00:22:18,730
woman, but she was really technically challenged.

356
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:23,210
And I'm kinda like, yeah. This isn't ready for aunt Cheryl yet.

357
00:22:23,525 --> 00:22:27,304
But if you're doing a show about Bitcoin or banking or

358
00:22:27,684 --> 00:22:31,385
money, you know, if your audience is sniffing and playing with Bitcoin,

359
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,480
it takes, like, maybe 5 minutes to set your show

360
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,925
up. So it's something to think about. But,

361
00:22:39,245 --> 00:22:43,005
I do a show with Daniel j Lewis from the Audacity of the Podcasting. And

362
00:22:43,005 --> 00:22:46,780
one of the things I wanna talk about, just about like York said,

363
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:50,320
it's got kind of a bad monetization, Bitcoin, because a lot of people think

364
00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:54,425
that it chews up too much energy energy. We're not gonna get into it.

365
00:22:54,505 --> 00:22:57,945
Just know you've got a computer that is running so

366
00:22:57,945 --> 00:23:01,545
hard to generate Bitcoin that it needs

367
00:23:01,545 --> 00:23:05,370
extra fans, and people are like, it's it's enter it's not energy

368
00:23:05,370 --> 00:23:09,130
efficient. And that's one side of the story. And where there is the left

369
00:23:09,130 --> 00:23:12,855
side, there's always the right side. And Daniel's looking

370
00:23:12,855 --> 00:23:16,615
into it because he's like, it may not be as inefficient as

371
00:23:16,615 --> 00:23:20,294
people think. So we're we're diving into that. I just

372
00:23:20,294 --> 00:23:23,110
know that when I go, okay,

373
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:27,750
you you have to, let's say, go to get albi.com,

374
00:23:28,770 --> 00:23:32,615
which is like this little wallet, and you have to

375
00:23:32,615 --> 00:23:36,215
use your credit card. You can't use your debit card to buy some

376
00:23:36,215 --> 00:23:40,030
Bitcoin. Already, you're like, wait. I gotta can't use my

377
00:23:40,030 --> 00:23:43,710
debit card. Nope. Gotta use the credit card because if you try a debit card,

378
00:23:43,710 --> 00:23:47,434
your your bank is gonna block it. Again, not the

379
00:23:47,434 --> 00:23:51,054
greatest reputation, little bit of a red flag for some people.

380
00:23:51,515 --> 00:23:55,054
And so when you buy a you your credit card, it goes into your wallet,

381
00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:58,950
and then you just go into the app, and you say, oh,

382
00:23:58,950 --> 00:24:02,790
here's my Get Alby account blah blah blah, and everything's safe and secure, and

383
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:06,554
you can now stream satoshis. But there's a few little hurdles there.

384
00:24:06,554 --> 00:24:10,155
Right? Little couple of little red flags. Now the good news is this was what

385
00:24:10,155 --> 00:24:13,630
I love about this is you do have an army of nerds

386
00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:17,290
that are looking into it. Like, how do I make it easier? And one of

387
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:21,054
them is Sam Sethi who does a website, Tru Fans.

388
00:24:21,054 --> 00:24:24,735
It's a podcast app. And if we wanna get nerdy, technically, it's not

389
00:24:24,735 --> 00:24:28,389
really an app like you get from the App Store. It is, a

390
00:24:28,389 --> 00:24:31,909
web app, meaning you can basically go to the website and basically say, hey. Put

391
00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:35,690
this on my my front screen of my phone, whichever one you have.

392
00:24:36,105 --> 00:24:39,784
And, Sam, because it's not an actual

393
00:24:39,784 --> 00:24:43,544
app in either the Google Play Store or the Apple Store, the problem with

394
00:24:43,544 --> 00:24:47,130
those, both those companies take a a chunk of the change, like Apple takes

395
00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:50,490
30%, and they can kinda stop you from doing

396
00:24:50,490 --> 00:24:54,250
ecommerce. Well, because Sam's isn't really an app and it's not in the

397
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:57,695
App Store, he has discovered that you can actually take your

398
00:24:57,695 --> 00:25:00,755
wallet, just a good old fashioned credit card,

399
00:25:01,135 --> 00:25:04,760
and put money into it. So he's testing that. And I was,

400
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,520
like, that's good. Let's make it easy. And then, of course, the

401
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,200
other one is for the podcaster. Yeah. I I had somebody give me some

402
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,975
money. Now how do I get it into my actual like, how

403
00:25:15,975 --> 00:25:19,575
do I buy groceries with us? Like, they don't take Bitcoin at the Piggly

404
00:25:19,575 --> 00:25:23,280
Wiggly. That is a fun story to say, isn't it?

405
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,040
Come on. Go ahead. Say Piggly Wiggly. It's just it just makes you smile. I

406
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,775
wish we had Piggly Wiggly's in Ohio. I know that's a a South thing

407
00:25:30,835 --> 00:25:34,615
and have a pig for a mascot. Okay. End of tangent.

408
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:38,690
But so that is a ways to go.

409
00:25:38,690 --> 00:25:42,390
Now, the other thing people have said, which is absolutely true,

410
00:25:43,010 --> 00:25:46,825
I, myself, swore you would pull overcast from my

411
00:25:46,825 --> 00:25:50,205
cold dead hands. I love that app. It did everything I wanted.

412
00:25:50,745 --> 00:25:54,205
And so it wasn't until its clone came out

413
00:25:54,490 --> 00:25:57,530
with this bonus thing that I even thought about it. But even with that, and

414
00:25:57,530 --> 00:26:01,290
it is easy because you can export all your podcasts, like, all

415
00:26:01,290 --> 00:26:05,105
the settings and then import in into the other app so you don't

416
00:26:05,105 --> 00:26:08,065
lose, you know, your shows. You don't have to go back and okay now I

417
00:26:08,065 --> 00:26:11,590
gotta subscribe to this show. Now I gotta subscribe to that show. That's

418
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:15,110
easier. We'll talk about that because the whole Google thing is coming down the

419
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:18,809
pike. So that's easier. But the money transaction,

420
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:22,934
which, you know, well, who would have thunk it? That's the part that

421
00:26:22,934 --> 00:26:26,615
seems to grab people's attention. But the thing I love about

422
00:26:26,615 --> 00:26:29,975
it is the fact that it is directly from your

423
00:26:29,975 --> 00:26:33,790
audience. So let me give you one example because if it's like,

424
00:26:33,790 --> 00:26:37,010
well, why should I even do this? And so nobody

425
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:40,610
sneezes when you're like, oh, well, you can do programmatic ads.

426
00:26:41,295 --> 00:26:43,795
They're gonna pay somewhere between 0.003¢.004¢

427
00:26:47,054 --> 00:26:50,674
a download. Your mileage may vary, but somewhere that's in the ballpark.

428
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,659
Now one of the fun things about podcasting

429
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,320
2.0 is there are certain numbers. I think it's

430
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,125
1701 is what people call a Star Trek boost. It has something to

431
00:27:02,125 --> 00:27:05,105
do with the Enterprise. But let's just take this one, 5150.

432
00:27:06,205 --> 00:27:09,730
That is an album from Van Halen, was the name of their

433
00:27:09,730 --> 00:27:13,250
album, which also, coincidentally, is a police

434
00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:16,610
call for someone who is not in their right mental

435
00:27:16,610 --> 00:27:20,255
state. And so people will send a

436
00:27:20,255 --> 00:27:23,715
podcaster a 5150. They'll send them 5,150

437
00:27:24,575 --> 00:27:28,270
satoshis along with a message. And so how

438
00:27:28,270 --> 00:27:30,930
much is that if somebody sends you 5,150

439
00:27:32,270 --> 00:27:35,975
satoshis? Well, right now, as it is

440
00:27:35,975 --> 00:27:39,335
March 22, 2024, that is

441
00:27:39,335 --> 00:27:43,100
$3.28. So if you

442
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:46,880
have 3 people, let's just stick with 1. So $3.28

443
00:27:48,300 --> 00:27:51,920
is what I earn for that. So what you can do that's right. It's time

444
00:27:52,125 --> 00:27:55,645
for fun fun math with

445
00:27:55,645 --> 00:27:58,945
Dave. Yay. So $3.28.

446
00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:05,230
And now let's divide that by let's say we got a killer deal. We're making

447
00:28:05,230 --> 00:28:08,850
0.004¢ per download from our programmatic

448
00:28:09,070 --> 00:28:12,425
ads. Well, that means you would have to

449
00:28:12,425 --> 00:28:16,265
get 820 downloads to

450
00:28:16,265 --> 00:28:19,889
make up the money from a

451
00:28:19,889 --> 00:28:23,409
single boost from 1 person who sent you

452
00:28:23,409 --> 00:28:26,470
51.50. And so the question is,

453
00:28:27,044 --> 00:28:30,645
what's easier? To get somebody to send you a Van Halen

454
00:28:30,645 --> 00:28:34,345
boost or to get 820 additional

455
00:28:34,645 --> 00:28:37,140
downloads? And that's when I was like,

456
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,500
and that's where you'll hear people say the phrase value

457
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,995
for value. And so if somebody wants to

458
00:28:46,995 --> 00:28:50,615
go attaboy, Dave, they can send me

459
00:28:50,995 --> 00:28:54,820
however many satoshis that they want. Now do I get a lot of boost? No.

460
00:28:55,139 --> 00:28:58,500
But I did get one I'll talk about here in a second. But,

461
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:02,120
nonetheless, the question is comparing it to programmatic

462
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:06,185
ads, when Daniel and I first started, doing the future

463
00:29:06,185 --> 00:29:09,865
of podcasting, we have because that audience is really

464
00:29:09,865 --> 00:29:13,350
nerdy, we're getting a fair amount of

465
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:17,110
incoming, just streaming satoshis where people

466
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:20,875
are streaming anywhere from 3 satoshis a minute up to

467
00:29:20,875 --> 00:29:23,775
over a 100, and that adds up.

468
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:27,855
But that, again, is with a really nerdy audience.

469
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,160
But you never know. You're letting your audience pick. So one of the cool

470
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,840
things about this is you can go in to

471
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,684
different websites and see how many like, I've received

472
00:29:39,764 --> 00:29:42,804
well, we'll get to that as I've received a fair amount of sats and how

473
00:29:42,804 --> 00:29:46,539
many I've paid. But recently, Sam Sethi

474
00:29:46,539 --> 00:29:50,320
from truefans.fm sent us 100,000

475
00:29:51,659 --> 00:29:55,225
satoshis. Now that sounds like an like, almost like a

476
00:29:55,225 --> 00:29:58,664
bazillion dollars. Right? Well, it's not a bad chunk of

477
00:29:58,664 --> 00:30:00,684
change. That's $63.71

478
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:07,140
on March 22nd in 2024. If you divide that by

479
00:30:07,140 --> 00:30:10,680
0.004, that is 15,927

480
00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:15,305
downloads if you're getting paid 0.004¢,

481
00:30:17,045 --> 00:30:20,825
which is $4 CPM in case you're wondering. $4 per 1,000.

482
00:30:21,980 --> 00:30:25,679
What's easier to get? One crazy app developer

483
00:30:26,380 --> 00:30:29,840
that I love dearly. Thank you, Sam. Go to truefans.fm.

484
00:30:31,235 --> 00:30:34,775
It's a great app, and it's got a great web interface.

485
00:30:35,235 --> 00:30:38,695
So is it easier to get, you know, a crazy generous

486
00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:42,330
donor or 15,927

487
00:30:45,270 --> 00:30:48,915
downloads? And that's the beauty of it. Like, some people like,

488
00:30:48,915 --> 00:30:52,275
$63 to some people may be like, I got that in my couch

489
00:30:52,275 --> 00:30:55,415
cushions. And other people are like, I could give you

490
00:30:55,635 --> 00:30:59,250
$3. It's up to the audience. But the the

491
00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:02,929
hurdles right now are still the whole getting

492
00:31:02,929 --> 00:31:06,610
money in and getting money out. So we're happy to see things like

493
00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:09,965
the Cash App and PayPal. But even like PayPal

494
00:31:10,424 --> 00:31:13,705
okay. I bought some Bitcoin. It's in PayPal. Okay. Now you gotta send it to

495
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:16,365
Alby. That's not super easy.

496
00:31:17,259 --> 00:31:20,559
But it's features made to

497
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:24,480
enhance the listening and engagement

498
00:31:25,725 --> 00:31:29,245
with your audience. One of the things they're also working on you know how if

499
00:31:29,245 --> 00:31:32,545
you go to YouTube, you can leave a comment, and you'll see it on YouTube,

500
00:31:32,684 --> 00:31:36,090
and then you see it on the YouTube app? Those are are, you

501
00:31:36,090 --> 00:31:39,450
know, comments. We're trying to get cross app

502
00:31:39,450 --> 00:31:43,024
comments. So I could maybe leave a comment

503
00:31:43,024 --> 00:31:46,784
in Goodreads I'm story. Good, pods, and it would

504
00:31:46,784 --> 00:31:50,630
show up podcasting matic, and then somebody else could leave a comment

505
00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:54,149
in Podcasting Guru, and it would show up in

506
00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:57,510
Podverse, cross app comments, and there are a lot of

507
00:31:57,510 --> 00:32:01,155
nerds working on that. And my

508
00:32:01,155 --> 00:32:04,915
buddy Craig Van Slyke from AI Goes TO College made a

509
00:32:04,915 --> 00:32:08,360
great great point once. He goes, you know, it kinda sounds

510
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,020
like it's a bunch of nerds

511
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,715
just doing nerdy things to see if they could do

512
00:32:15,715 --> 00:32:19,554
it. And I go, you know, yeah. I could I

513
00:32:19,554 --> 00:32:23,130
could see that point of view. So that's what it is.

514
00:32:23,130 --> 00:32:26,750
Now here's my point. It doesn't cost you anything

515
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:30,745
to make your show available

516
00:32:31,445 --> 00:32:34,805
to receive Bitcoin. So why not do it? Because there

517
00:32:34,805 --> 00:32:38,245
are a number of people that are listening to

518
00:32:38,245 --> 00:32:41,980
this. And if nothing else, set it up to receive.

519
00:32:41,980 --> 00:32:45,740
And if you never figure out how to get it out, you know, there's

520
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:49,435
the kids' college fund. And now, I wanna peel back the

521
00:32:49,435 --> 00:32:52,975
curtain because I'm gonna do something just to prove a point.

522
00:32:54,155 --> 00:32:57,850
You ready for this? I'm gonna hit you with a bunch of stats and

523
00:32:57,850 --> 00:33:01,150
just watch your brain tune out. When you do math

524
00:33:01,690 --> 00:33:05,395
or a bunch of facts and stats in a podcast, your brain is just like,

525
00:33:05,395 --> 00:33:08,835
do I need milk? Do I need I'm gonna just here we go. First of

526
00:33:08,835 --> 00:33:11,570
all, there are 19 1,395

527
00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:16,110
shows already using podcasting 2 point

528
00:33:16,110 --> 00:33:19,925
o. If you look at the number of shows that have put out an

529
00:33:19,925 --> 00:33:23,465
episode in the last 30 days, that's 357,841.

530
00:33:25,365 --> 00:33:28,570
I know there's 4,000,000 podcasting, but only

531
00:33:28,790 --> 00:33:32,310
357,000 have put one out in the

532
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:35,675
last 30 days, which means that is

533
00:33:35,735 --> 00:33:38,955
5.4%. Yay. Fun with math.

534
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,734
That's how many people are currently embracing the

535
00:33:45,734 --> 00:33:49,580
podcasting 2.0 value for value feature.

536
00:33:50,325 --> 00:33:53,924
Now one of the reasons this was even invented is

537
00:33:53,924 --> 00:33:57,765
because Apple Podcasts started pulling some shows that they

538
00:33:57,765 --> 00:34:01,460
disagreed with the content out of Apple Podcasting,

539
00:34:01,460 --> 00:34:05,140
which is kinda called censorship. Now let's not get crazy. There's

540
00:34:05,140 --> 00:34:08,980
some people you know, everybody's favorite word. You know what I'm gonna say right now.

541
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:12,264
Right? Because if I disagree with you, that makes you

542
00:34:12,965 --> 00:34:16,744
begins with an end. That's right. Nazi. Everybody's a Nazi,

543
00:34:16,949 --> 00:34:20,630
and so some people got pulled out just because they said booger, or

544
00:34:20,630 --> 00:34:24,329
something of that nature. And that's, again, one of the guys that invented

545
00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:27,315
podcasting said, yeah. That's not cool. He's really,

546
00:34:28,175 --> 00:34:31,855
like like, a 100% freedom of speech. And so he said, we should have a

547
00:34:31,855 --> 00:34:35,635
backup in the event this goes really wrong with Apple. So they invented

548
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,680
this thing called the podcasting index, and that's where there are some of

549
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,120
these new apps that only look

550
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,815
at the podcast index. Like, if your show is in Apple

551
00:34:46,815 --> 00:34:50,655
Podcasts, but you're not in the podcast index, they can't see

552
00:34:50,655 --> 00:34:54,500
your show. So it's like the nerds are building

553
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:58,260
an alternative universe to Apple. Not that

554
00:34:58,260 --> 00:35:01,859
we hate Apple. I love Apple, especially for everything they've ever

555
00:35:01,859 --> 00:35:05,615
done. But the nerds, that I say that with

556
00:35:05,615 --> 00:35:09,295
love, got tired of waiting for these cool

557
00:35:09,295 --> 00:35:13,099
things. They're like, no. We could do this. Oh, well, Apple's not implementing

558
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,760
them. You know, Apple's you know, they've been a great custodian of

559
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,460
podcasting. But as you might imagine, they're not making any money

560
00:35:20,595 --> 00:35:24,355
with podcasting unless you do the whole subscription thing. But

561
00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:27,174
they just went, well, let's quit waiting on Apple.

562
00:35:27,980 --> 00:35:31,440
And that's what's basically happening. So the

563
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,580
last stat I thought I would leave you with, and I believe this is

564
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:37,655
over 3 years, I've received 894,030

565
00:35:39,875 --> 00:35:43,635
SATS, Satoshis. The cool kids call them SATS, of

566
00:35:43,635 --> 00:35:46,349
course. Which means in 3 years, I've made $574.95.

567
00:35:49,290 --> 00:35:52,750
Not a bad. Right? Better than a poke in the eye.

568
00:35:53,425 --> 00:35:57,045
And if we were to continue with our math problem,

569
00:35:57,265 --> 00:35:59,605
you know, why stop now? $574.95

570
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:06,980
divided by point let's go crazy. Let's say we got

571
00:36:06,980 --> 00:36:10,360
0.005¢ a download.

572
00:36:11,345 --> 00:36:14,805
Well, what would that mean? That would be a 114,990

573
00:36:17,585 --> 00:36:20,390
downloads. So which one's easier?

574
00:36:21,090 --> 00:36:24,930
Especially, I'm here. I if it was me, I would just set it up and

575
00:36:24,930 --> 00:36:27,990
forget about it. You do have to kinda let your audience know.

576
00:36:28,575 --> 00:36:32,335
Hey. This show is now podcasting 2.0 enabled. If

577
00:36:32,335 --> 00:36:36,150
you'd like to send a boostagram, feel free. And

578
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:39,990
you can go to modern podcast apps if you'd like to try

579
00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:42,890
a new app. And I agree with everyone who said,

580
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:47,704
that's a hurdle. Because once you find an app

581
00:36:47,704 --> 00:36:50,925
you like, boy, you really don't wanna change.

582
00:36:51,464 --> 00:36:54,910
And that leads us to our next topic. Yeah.

583
00:36:54,910 --> 00:36:58,610
Yeah. Yeah. And I kinda feel like I'm giving this

584
00:36:59,070 --> 00:37:02,735
too much of a stage, but I'm gonna talk about

585
00:37:02,735 --> 00:37:06,575
Google Podcasting going away. I've mentioned this before. And the reason I say

586
00:37:06,575 --> 00:37:10,300
that, they only had 3% of the market. But

587
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,040
it's hard to get any part of the market, and they're going

588
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,720
away. And from what I've heard, Google is not going to

589
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:21,515
redirect the link that you have that goes to Google Podcasting to

590
00:37:21,515 --> 00:37:25,355
Google, YouTube Music. And I need to

591
00:37:25,355 --> 00:37:29,100
double check this, but according to James Cridlin, you can't link directly

592
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:32,700
to a show in YouTube Music. Just one of the many

593
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:36,495
reasons why I'm not recommending my audience, migrate if

594
00:37:36,495 --> 00:37:39,935
you're on Google Podcasting to YouTube

595
00:37:39,935 --> 00:37:43,555
Music. It's kind of an app that is like

596
00:37:43,820 --> 00:37:47,660
they bolted on podcasting to it. I want an app that was designed

597
00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:51,414
from day 1 to listen to podcasting. And

598
00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:55,474
I have a list of what I want in an app, and the thing that

599
00:37:55,474 --> 00:37:58,914
makes me kinda nuts is none of them on the

600
00:37:58,914 --> 00:38:02,210
Android side do it. My favorite app

601
00:38:02,910 --> 00:38:06,750
on the iOS side podcasting Matic. If you

602
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:10,555
are a Overcast user and you want some of

603
00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:13,215
that podcasting 2.0 functionality

604
00:38:14,315 --> 00:38:17,861
if I'm Marco, the guy from Overcast, I'm suing the guy from

605
00:38:17,861 --> 00:38:21,670
Podcasting Matic because he somehow, like, really cloned

606
00:38:22,210 --> 00:38:25,675
his app. But my problem is there's

607
00:38:25,675 --> 00:38:29,275
nothing there are a couple that are close on the

608
00:38:29,275 --> 00:38:33,040
Android side. And so this is that's my

609
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,240
stance on this. Like, well, this is the best I got at this point if

610
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:39,984
you're on Android. And so what I'm

611
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:43,744
looking for is a smart playlist. I love that

612
00:38:43,744 --> 00:38:47,505
feature. And what this is is I can say, hey. I'm following this

613
00:38:47,505 --> 00:38:51,190
show now. Then when it comes in, go to the

614
00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:55,030
money, you know, playlist story go to the health playlist or go

615
00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:58,595
to the podcasting playlist. And I don't have to do anything. It just

616
00:38:58,715 --> 00:39:02,155
when I'm ready to listen about money, I click on the money playlist, and they're

617
00:39:02,155 --> 00:39:05,910
all my favorite shows. So I love those. And then I want controls

618
00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:09,589
over when the files are downloads, and I do want them to

619
00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:13,130
download. And I want controls that allow me to download

620
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:17,005
when I'm on Wi Fi. I do a lot of stuff outdoors in the

621
00:39:17,005 --> 00:39:20,765
summer, and my I don't have to rely

622
00:39:20,765 --> 00:39:24,599
on AT and T to stream stuff for me. So number 3, speaking

623
00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:27,960
of streaming, I want speed control on a show by show

624
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,405
basis. Some shows, the host just

625
00:39:31,405 --> 00:39:34,925
talk slower. And those people, I

626
00:39:34,925 --> 00:39:38,730
listen at 1.8 or something like that. So I want

627
00:39:38,730 --> 00:39:42,490
that on not on a, like, hey. Here, speed up everybody. No. No. No. Because

628
00:39:42,490 --> 00:39:45,050
other people talk like me, and they're really, really fast, and you need to slow

629
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:48,165
me down because you can't understand what I'm saying. So,

630
00:39:48,885 --> 00:39:52,265
speed control on a show by show basis. Volume leveling.

631
00:39:52,645 --> 00:39:55,685
It's sad that we need to do this, but one show will blow my head

632
00:39:55,685 --> 00:39:59,240
off. And the next one, I can't hear at all. So I need something to

633
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:03,079
adjust the volume. And I really love it if

634
00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:06,575
they have a web based version so that I can listen on my

635
00:40:06,575 --> 00:40:10,415
computer without having to plug my phone into it. And if I can pick

636
00:40:10,415 --> 00:40:13,960
up right where I left off, that's amazing. Now that's a

637
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,800
feature I'm willing to give up, but you get a lot of kudos if you

638
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,580
have one. The ability to upload files

639
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,415
like a rough draft of a podcast so I can listen to it

640
00:40:25,415 --> 00:40:29,095
through the app. I love that feature. Overcast has podcasting Matic has it.

641
00:40:29,095 --> 00:40:32,620
Pocket Podcasting has it, bunch of them, and then I'll talk about. And

642
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:36,300
then I'm hoping they're kinda nerdy because I want that

643
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:40,140
value for an for value. It's kinda weird. I've been trying different apps.

644
00:40:40,140 --> 00:40:43,964
And when I can't stream satoshis when you're used to, I kinda feel

645
00:40:43,964 --> 00:40:47,805
guilty because I'm getting this great content, and they're

646
00:40:47,805 --> 00:40:51,440
getting nothing but a smile. And like I say,

647
00:40:51,579 --> 00:40:55,280
none of these apps do all 7 of those. None of them.

648
00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:59,535
And so here's my answer so far to

649
00:40:59,595 --> 00:41:03,055
what I have. And the first one is Podorama.

650
00:41:03,914 --> 00:41:07,660
And this right now, if it had, what you

651
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:11,180
call it? The value for value, it'd be, like, my number one app

652
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:14,914
because Podurama has everything. They have a web

653
00:41:14,914 --> 00:41:18,755
based version. I can upload files. They even a cool thing where you can

654
00:41:18,755 --> 00:41:22,135
rate episodes. So as a podcaster, you can go in and see

655
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:26,260
which episodes are resonating. That's kinda cool. And,

656
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,480
I mean, it's it works on iOS. It works on Android. It's a web

657
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,985
based version. I don't know how they do it. It's some sort of freaky

658
00:41:33,985 --> 00:41:37,825
mojo that I can be listening on my computer through

659
00:41:37,825 --> 00:41:41,600
their website, hit pause, pick up my phone, and it

660
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,200
picks up and, I mean, right where I left off. It's a

661
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,880
very impressive, very pretty app. And the thing I love about

662
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,515
it, I like smart lists. Right? Smart

663
00:41:52,515 --> 00:41:56,355
playlist. Most other apps have this cue thing where they just

664
00:41:56,355 --> 00:42:00,150
dump off a wheelbarrow full of episodes and then you make

665
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:03,430
a list, like, here, put this one in the list to to listen to. That's

666
00:42:03,430 --> 00:42:06,650
called a queue. Podurama does both

667
00:42:07,085 --> 00:42:10,685
and they play video if you have video podcasting. So it's a great

668
00:42:10,685 --> 00:42:14,525
app. Everybody should go over to padurama.com, click on the support link,

669
00:42:14,525 --> 00:42:17,940
and go, hey. Dave wants you to add value for value.

670
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,099
The next one that comes the closest is

671
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:26,385
Podcast Guru. Podcast Guru works

672
00:42:26,385 --> 00:42:30,065
again on iOS and Android. And remember, I'm looking for

673
00:42:30,065 --> 00:42:33,605
an Android app for my Google Podcast people.

674
00:42:33,870 --> 00:42:37,630
It does have a web interface. And when I first started

675
00:42:37,630 --> 00:42:41,310
using it, the web interface was not updating. Now to

676
00:42:41,310 --> 00:42:44,855
their credit, I emailed them. They got back very quickly, went

677
00:42:44,855 --> 00:42:48,535
over, and, I don't know, grabbed Fonzie and had him hit the jukebox,

678
00:42:48,535 --> 00:42:52,090
and it it started syncing again. But very,

679
00:42:52,090 --> 00:42:55,690
very cool. They they do have the files thing too where you can upload

680
00:42:55,690 --> 00:42:59,290
files. So I like that. They do the value for value

681
00:42:59,290 --> 00:43:03,115
thing. Great. Amazing. They don't do

682
00:43:03,115 --> 00:43:06,555
smart list. I'm like, oh, come on. So

683
00:43:06,555 --> 00:43:10,400
close. But they're working on smart playlist. So whichever

684
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,175
one happens first, Podcast Guru brings in smart playlists

685
00:43:14,175 --> 00:43:17,760
story Padurama adds value for value. That's

686
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,545
gonna be my default app for recommending things to people. Again,

687
00:43:21,605 --> 00:43:25,205
I'm happy with my app. I'm on iOS, and I'm using Podcasting

688
00:43:25,205 --> 00:43:28,265
Matic. The other one is truefans.fm.

689
00:43:30,070 --> 00:43:33,750
This app, if you wanna see all the features that are

690
00:43:33,750 --> 00:43:37,530
available for the podcasting 2 point o space now realize,

691
00:43:37,915 --> 00:43:41,675
if your podcaster is not doing anything with that, these aren't gonna

692
00:43:41,675 --> 00:43:45,214
really come into play. But it too it's a little different because

693
00:43:45,660 --> 00:43:48,640
you're not gonna really find this in the Android app

694
00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:53,020
or the iOS iPhone App Store because it's not

695
00:43:53,020 --> 00:43:56,795
really an app. It's a website, and it's one of those if you

696
00:43:56,795 --> 00:44:00,235
go to it on your phone, you can click on it and say, add this

697
00:44:00,235 --> 00:44:03,670
to my home page. And then at that point, it's just a little

698
00:44:03,670 --> 00:44:07,510
button. So it's really like a little baby website that

699
00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:11,315
looks and smells and tastes just like an app. And it's got some really cool

700
00:44:11,315 --> 00:44:14,535
things. It is along with Podcasting Guru,

701
00:44:15,075 --> 00:44:18,674
it's new. So some of these still have, like, I still don't understand

702
00:44:18,674 --> 00:44:22,470
playlist on this. I don't think they're smart at this point. I

703
00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:26,150
do like the value for value and all the it has everything. The only thing

704
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:29,975
I'm worried about with true fans is I don't think I can download

705
00:44:30,035 --> 00:44:33,715
files. Like, I'm getting ready to go to Podcasting Movement, and this is

706
00:44:33,715 --> 00:44:37,075
one of the reasons why I download files to my phone so I can listen

707
00:44:37,075 --> 00:44:40,510
when I don't have Wi Fi. And I'm not sure how that would work,

708
00:44:40,510 --> 00:44:44,130
but Trufans looks great on your phone.

709
00:44:44,190 --> 00:44:47,875
It works on the website. Their websites, I still

710
00:44:47,875 --> 00:44:51,075
find things where I'm like, wait. In in terms of, like, if I stop on

711
00:44:51,075 --> 00:44:54,835
my phone and go to the website, that's a

712
00:44:54,835 --> 00:44:58,570
little wonky at this point. But Sam Sethi is a hardworking

713
00:44:58,710 --> 00:45:02,070
guy, and he has been working on Truefans for a long

714
00:45:02,070 --> 00:45:05,805
time. There are other ones. I like Pocket Podcasting. Pocket

715
00:45:05,805 --> 00:45:09,645
Cast kinda did a, oh, we were just kidding. They had said they

716
00:45:09,645 --> 00:45:13,025
were going to embrace value for value in podcasting

717
00:45:13,165 --> 00:45:16,830
2.0. We all got excited, and I downloaded the app. It has,

718
00:45:16,830 --> 00:45:20,590
again, all the features I want except the

719
00:45:20,590 --> 00:45:24,130
value for value. And they said they were gonna add it, and that was probably

720
00:45:25,295 --> 00:45:28,755
10 months ago, if not longer, and they haven't.

721
00:45:29,375 --> 00:45:33,214
Another app is Pocket Podcasting the only reason I would say

722
00:45:33,214 --> 00:45:37,049
try that one, it's been around forever. And I know

723
00:45:37,049 --> 00:45:40,809
they embrace some podcasting 2.0 stuff. So right

724
00:45:40,809 --> 00:45:44,325
now, if I'm looking for an easy to use now granted,

725
00:45:44,465 --> 00:45:48,305
again, none of these do them all. So I'm I'm ever

726
00:45:48,305 --> 00:45:52,019
so disappointed in all of them a little bit. But the prettiest

727
00:45:52,019 --> 00:45:55,240
one that works the coolest right now for me is Podurama.

728
00:45:56,099 --> 00:45:59,460
And so it's also very easy if you sign up for

729
00:45:59,460 --> 00:46:03,145
free. You can go in, find your show, and then just

730
00:46:03,145 --> 00:46:06,205
grab the link at the top for your show and put that on your website.

731
00:46:06,744 --> 00:46:10,440
I'm not sending people YouTube music. I just in the same

732
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,980
way that Spotify, especially now Spotify with audiobooks,

733
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,025
it's just a it's cluttered. And I want

734
00:46:18,265 --> 00:46:22,105
maybe it's probably a reflection of me. I'm kind of a power user when

735
00:46:22,105 --> 00:46:25,730
it comes to listening to podcasts. So I want an app just dedicated

736
00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:29,630
to podcasting that really lets me get into the meat and bones. So

737
00:46:29,630 --> 00:46:32,925
that's that's that. On April April 2nd,

738
00:46:33,065 --> 00:46:36,825
Google Podcasts, though, you won't be able to use that anymore. And

739
00:46:36,825 --> 00:46:40,360
then, eventually, they're gonna stop it working at all. I

740
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,120
think they said in June or August, something like that. So right

741
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,100
now, that's my app. And, again, I kinda feel like

742
00:46:47,595 --> 00:46:51,275
3% of you care about this. But, also, somebody mentioned

743
00:46:51,275 --> 00:46:54,875
moving from Stitcher. I still see people with

744
00:46:54,875 --> 00:46:58,260
Stitcher buttons on their website. So go to your website,

745
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,860
remove the Google button. I'd replace it with a Podurama

746
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,920
or a True Fans or a Podcasting Guru. Take your pick or just add

747
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,664
all 3 and remove Google. And if it's still

748
00:47:09,664 --> 00:47:10,964
there, remove Stitcher.

749
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,640
As I listen to this, I realized I forgot to mention one of my favorite

750
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,285
features is chapters, especially for a show like this where I have multiple

751
00:47:23,285 --> 00:47:27,045
topics. And I'm using chapters, the 2.0 version. The

752
00:47:27,045 --> 00:47:30,619
old version was in your MP 3. So if you made a boo

753
00:47:30,619 --> 00:47:34,319
boo, you had to upload the file again. Podcasting 2.0

754
00:47:34,380 --> 00:47:38,085
makes it easier. You just go into your media host and

755
00:47:38,085 --> 00:47:41,765
update the boo boo there. You can actually have images that show up. Somebody

756
00:47:41,765 --> 00:47:45,040
talked about that. And you can have links. So marketers should love that.

757
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,660
Now if your host doesn't support any of these,

758
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,200
you need to email their support and go, hey. When are you

759
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,875
guys gonna start accepting, creating, developing

760
00:47:57,095 --> 00:48:00,455
2.0 features? Because if you don't, they

761
00:48:00,455 --> 00:48:03,735
won't. And I was in the room when this first went

762
00:48:03,767 --> 00:48:07,480
downloads, I mean, there were people out there from Lipson

763
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,780
and Blueberry and Transistor and, you know,

764
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,745
Buzzsprout, all sorts of people. And it was kinda cool because they all kinda

765
00:48:14,825 --> 00:48:18,665
we held hands. We sang Kumbaya. And we said, this isn't gonna work

766
00:48:18,665 --> 00:48:22,160
unless we all adapt these kind of at the same time, which will then

767
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,920
force the apps to add these features. And

768
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,465
so far, that hasn't happened. And it doesn't

769
00:48:29,465 --> 00:48:33,305
mean there's any animosity. Just every person, every company

770
00:48:33,305 --> 00:48:36,820
has their own version of this thing called tech debt, which just

771
00:48:36,820 --> 00:48:40,440
means it's hard to steer a giant boat quickly.

772
00:48:41,060 --> 00:48:44,840
And so right now, I would say Blueberry is the one that's adopted

773
00:48:44,980 --> 00:48:48,075
the most and then Captivate, Buzzsprout,

774
00:48:48,855 --> 00:48:52,615
and Lipson has, like, 1 or 2. And so and, yes, I know I work

775
00:48:52,615 --> 00:48:56,270
for Lipson, but that's a fact. I'm not it's not an opinion. It's a

776
00:48:56,270 --> 00:49:00,030
fact. And so if your host doesn't support these

777
00:49:00,030 --> 00:49:03,815
things and you want them, like, hey. I like that pod roll idea or,

778
00:49:03,815 --> 00:49:07,415
hey. They they don't know what you want unless you tell them. And so this

779
00:49:07,415 --> 00:49:11,040
goes for all, the the pod beans, the what other

780
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,640
ones that I don't really play with much? There are some new ones that

781
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,234
have adopted everything, but podcast

782
00:49:18,234 --> 00:49:21,855
media hosting, they will not build stuff unless you say, I want this.

783
00:49:22,395 --> 00:49:26,095
So and I'm here to tell you one email makes a difference.

784
00:49:26,190 --> 00:49:29,870
2 email, very better. So if you're listening to this and go, I'm gonna do

785
00:49:29,870 --> 00:49:33,650
that later, I'm saying, no. Do it now. And it's almost always

786
00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:37,375
support at whatever your media host is. Atlibson,

787
00:49:37,675 --> 00:49:40,875
atcaptivate, at blueberry, at, you know,

788
00:49:41,035 --> 00:49:44,759
podbean, at buzzsprout, at Donner, on Blitzen,

789
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:48,599
on Cupid, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And

790
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:52,279
the other thing that we've kind of uncovered here is

791
00:49:52,525 --> 00:49:56,204
podcasting 2 point o needs a little more marketing to help

792
00:49:56,204 --> 00:49:59,744
the end user and the listener get this. And that website

793
00:50:00,230 --> 00:50:04,010
is podcasting, the number 2, dot org.

794
00:50:04,550 --> 00:50:08,390
Podcasting2.org. So if you wanna be involved with this, I'll

795
00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:12,055
put a link to a video. It takes next to no time to get

796
00:50:12,055 --> 00:50:15,815
set up even if you do nothing else because there are people that are

797
00:50:15,815 --> 00:50:19,630
using apps that are equipped to that. And I realize it's hard to get people

798
00:50:19,630 --> 00:50:22,362
to to change an app, but there are people that are already like me using

799
00:50:22,362 --> 00:50:25,974
Podcasting Matic, that are using Podcast Guru,

800
00:50:26,115 --> 00:50:29,795
that are using these other tools, and they're more than happy

801
00:50:29,795 --> 00:50:33,635
to stream some Bitcoin at you. And so why not make it easy for

802
00:50:33,635 --> 00:50:37,290
them to do that? I'll have a link to the video. It takes about maybe

803
00:50:37,290 --> 00:50:40,349
3 minutes, and, give it a shot.

804
00:50:40,890 --> 00:50:44,555
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you are going to be in

805
00:50:44,555 --> 00:50:48,395
Los Angeles next week at Podcast Movement Evolutions, please stop

806
00:50:48,395 --> 00:50:52,050
by the Libsyn booth. I'll be there a lot of the time except on Thursday

807
00:50:52,050 --> 00:50:55,830
when I'm speaking. And I would love to say hi, take a picture,

808
00:50:56,130 --> 00:50:59,795
high five, bump knuckles, whatever you wanna do.

809
00:50:59,795 --> 00:51:03,635
I'd be happy to do that and, have a chat. And in

810
00:51:03,635 --> 00:51:07,049
May, I'm going to the Content

811
00:51:07,109 --> 00:51:10,869
Entrepreneurs Expo, better known as CEX. You can find that at

812
00:51:10,869 --> 00:51:14,515
cex.events. And the man behind

813
00:51:14,515 --> 00:51:18,275
that is the godfather of content marketing, Joe

814
00:51:18,275 --> 00:51:22,035
Pulizzi. And I interviewed him last week. Such a nice

815
00:51:22,035 --> 00:51:25,780
guy. A great interview. And I

816
00:51:25,780 --> 00:51:29,540
will be doing 2 things in next week's episode with Joe. Number 1,

817
00:51:29,540 --> 00:51:33,155
I'm gonna play the interview, and then I did a couple things that

818
00:51:33,155 --> 00:51:36,994
were so Dave Jackson, and that is I cannot I

819
00:51:36,994 --> 00:51:40,650
I start to ans the see, I'm doing it right now. I start to

820
00:51:40,650 --> 00:51:44,410
ask the question before my brain has figured out what I'm

821
00:51:44,410 --> 00:51:47,770
asking, and I end up with these mile long

822
00:51:47,770 --> 00:51:51,525
questions that I then cut down to the actual question,

823
00:51:51,525 --> 00:51:55,365
and you never hear it. Well, next week, I'm gonna show you just how

824
00:51:55,365 --> 00:51:59,070
awful I am at asking questions. And I was ever so

825
00:51:59,070 --> 00:52:02,670
slightly it wasn't nervous, but I was

826
00:52:02,670 --> 00:52:06,295
hyper focused on Joe's answers so I could

827
00:52:06,295 --> 00:52:10,055
really figure out what's the next question to ask. So that's what's coming

828
00:52:10,055 --> 00:52:13,895
up next week in the School of Podcasting. Also

829
00:52:13,895 --> 00:52:17,430
have Katie Brinkley. If you remember a couple of

830
00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:21,210
questions of the month ago, when everybody's like, I am done with social,

831
00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:24,905
I'm like, alright? I gotta find a social media strategist to

832
00:52:24,905 --> 00:52:28,585
figure out what we're doing wrong with social and how we can get it to

833
00:52:28,585 --> 00:52:32,265
work with our podcast. And Katie Brinkley is somebody I bumped into

834
00:52:32,265 --> 00:52:35,180
enough to where I was finally, like, you know what? You should come on my

835
00:52:35,180 --> 00:52:38,960
show. Now you can get all these episodes the minute they are ready
