Podcasting Power Hour

22. Podcast Movement, Ambies & AI and The Infinite Dial Review

"The first thing you got to do to determine whether or not your podcast is a podcast that is time to quit is to look at the indicators that you create at the outset to determine whether you're making progress." - Tanner Campbell Tanner Campbell is a philosophy podcaster and former podcast consultant. Edward Havens is a podcast host on The 80's Movie Podcast. Listen to Tanner's Show - https://open.spotify.com/show/0cGh6rftss6NfjK3GM7gFO Listen to Ed's Show - https://open.spotify.com/show/41M6lOaLM47dtZVXQLRued Tanner Campbell and Edward Havens, two experienced podcasters, discussed on Podcasting Power Hour the question of when it is time to quit a podcast. They discussed the idea of setting KPIs to measure progress and that sometimes the best decision is to pivot to something else. They shared their own experience and advice of when they have quit their own podcasts or decided to change direction. Dave Jackson shared his experience of starting and stopping his podcast three times due to COVID and his journey to play in the local podcasting space. In the end, the conclusion is that it is up to the individual to decide when the time is right to quit a podcast, but it is important to be honest with yourself and have a conversation with someone else to make sure the decision is the right one. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How do you know when it's time to give up and quit on your podcast? 2. What are the key performance indicators to look for in order to determine if your podcast is making progress? 3. How do you balance two podcasts without taking away from either one of them?

Every week, an experienced panel of podcasters and other experts will tackle your podcasting questions. [00:00:48] Jeff Townsend: I've got the gift to Gab and the fifth to Jab. After that, they get weirder every week. Do you just talk too much? It sounds like a good thing. [00:01:44] Well, hello, everybody. Oldest guy in podcasting on the mic. It is an honor to be here. This is a long intro, though. Well, edit it's, because you're making it long. [00:02:08] Jim Mallard has the Mallard report for ten years strong. Ed Havens is here from the 80s movie. This is the greatest podcasting power hour of all time. [00:03:09] Chuckles is here in her first-ever Podcasting Power Hour. That's who you hear hitting all the sound effects. As far as my self-control is concerned, I also muted myself for quite some time. I think you're displaying a solid use of the controls there, so thank you. [00:03:56] This week was the very first week that all my TV movie fandom shows are live. The Indie Drop-in Network is 100% a feed drop network. The show shows are all about podcasters. [00:05:44] A feed drop is when you take an episode of your show and give it to another podcaster to play on their show. For most podcasters, you want very few feed drops in your feed. If there are too many feed drops, the audience starts to get pissed. [00:09:34] Jeff: Maybe we can talk about how to choose a show for a Feed Drop. I think Jeff, you feed dropped on True Crime, which has like a million-something downloads. But very few people go on the show notes and click the subscribe link. [00:12:20] The downloads are great, but I didn't see the conversion on my end. It's because the True Crime fans I've marketed to are very specifically true crime listeners. There just was no reason for them to convert to a listener of Indie podcasters. If done right, it really can work. [00:16:46] comedy is not really like a niche, it's more of like something that you add to a niche. These shows are consistently funny, their tone is consistent. Those convert higher. When the show doesn't have a personality, it doesn't have a vibe. That's when it seems to struggle. [00:22:44] A feed drop is when you use a previous show of a friend to fill in a slot. The best thing to do is do feed drop swaps because it's good for everybody. If you're taking a week off, record a different intro than a regular swap. [00:30:49] And it doesn't work if you don't tell people what their show is about. What I started doing is saying, hey, Jim, just feed Dropped a show. He doesn't talk paranormal all the time, but he had this awesome ghost hunter on. It's totally different. [00:32:06] Who you swap with is much more important than how large the show is. It's like a massive filter for quality listeners. Having people on your show is content for your listeners, not really to grow it. [00:37:17] Jeff: Niche is so important, and I think it's more important than ever in podcasting. Your show needs to be amazing before you get featured on. People should definitely submit to ads. The key is you have to do that stuff when you're ready. [00:40:39] Gregory: How do you approach the other podcast that you're wanting to feed Drop swap with? Greg: I would start with under 200 reviews on Apple podcasts. You could probably do it every single month successfully and without pissing off your fans. [00:45:54] This week's podcasting power hour airs live every Monday at 09:00 p. m. Eastern. The show is produced by Jeff Pearlman. Everyone is free to participate on Twitter every Monday.

"One of the things I like about podcasting is that as it changes and things get better, sometimes they get worse. Not always linear. You sometimes have to revisit things that you were very certain of eight months ago." I joined Podcasting Power Hour because I wanted to learn more about how to podcast. I was really excited when I found out that Dave Jackson was going to be a guest. I had heard of him before, but I had never really listened to his show. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the industry and his willingness to help people. I also thought it was funny when he talked about his "podcast Rodeo Show." I had no idea what that was, but it sounded like something I would enjoy. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The story of how one podcast saw a significant increase in downloads after creating a TikTok account 2. Dave Jacksons Podcast Rodeo Show is great for a critique and cheap too! 3. Build the best calls to action to engage your listeners and generate revenue. Resources: Podcasting Power Hour is recorded live on Twitter Spaces every Monday at 9 pm Eastern Time.

"I just knocked over a Barbie metal lunch box filled with bracelets, and I've been cursing loudly up until this point." I'm the host of Podcasting Power Hour, and every week we tackle questions from listeners about podcasting. This week, we're talking about video. I've started posting short videos on YouTube and TikTok, and I'm curious to see how they perform. Our panel of experts is divided on the issue – some think video is a great way to reach new audiences, while others think it's not worth the effort. Personally, I'm still on the fence. I think it depends on the platform and the type of content you're creating. In any case, it's important to remember that it takes time to build an audience on any platform, so don't expect overnight success. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The pros and cons of repurposing audio content for video platforms 2. The best ways to create video content for specific video platforms 3.

Highlights Adam Curry and Dave Winer met 12 years ago while working on a project called the AECT for poets. They later spun out of that project to create the Freedom controller, which became the basis for Adam's no agenda show. The podcast index is the first product that they launched together. It is a way to collect and read RSS feeds. The podcast index is a free API for app developers to use to write podcast apps. The podcasting 2.0 side of things is just our effort to push podcasting forward, feature wise, to build crazy new stuff that will eventually end up in every player and hosting company, as new features that are not bound behind some huge company like Spotify or Apple. Apple and Spotify will both adopt podcasting 2.0 features for different reasons. Apple will do so because it is ultimately good for their customers, while Spotify will see the benefits of adopting these features without having to incur the costs.
