14:16In this episode, I dive into the world of podcasting statistics, shedding light on the potential inaccuracies and unreliability of common metrics. Don't solely judge your podcast's success based on numbers like episode count or downloads. Success is more than reaching arbitrary thresholds â it's about creating meaningful content that resonates with your audience! Remember, podcast ranking metrics can be misleading and vary across platforms. Look beyond the numbers to truly understand your podcast's performance and impact. Keep creating authentic content, and don't get discouraged by the stats! Highlights: Discussing the misleading and unreliable nature of podcasting statistics and rankings. Exploring different measurements used to determine a podcast's ranking. Challenging the significance of being in the top percentage of podcasts for success. Highlighting the flaws in commonly used podcasting metrics. Questioning the validity of defining podcast success based on episode count or download numbers. The variability of podcast ranking metrics across platforms and criteria.

16:31From the vault we are diving back into episode 43: Should I Quit My Podcast! Are you thinking of quitting your podcast? In this episode, we explore the taboo topic of wanting to quit or take a break from podcasting. Quitting your podcast doesn't equate to failure, but it's important to consider your reasons for wanting to quit before you actually give up your podcast. I'll discuss the common reasons why podcasters give up podcasting, such as a lack of immediate results or effective strategies. We also talk about the attrition rate of podcasters, with many quitting before their eighth episode due to unrealistic expectations and time commitments. I'll then go through six signs that indicate it might be time to quit, including loss of passion, running out of quality content, and feeling overwhelmed. Instead of quitting outright, we'll also discuss taking a break from podcasting to re-evaluate your podcasting goals and strategies. đ§ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://veritysangan.com/newsletter Recording equipment: đ Riverside: https://veritysangan.com/riverside đ Blue Yeti Microphone: https://amzn.to/3pxNvSa đ iPhone: https://amzn.to/44q0x30 Freebies: â

12:20In this episode, I'm joined by Kendall from Riverside, and we're recording this episode at the Podcast Show London. Kendall and I have been trying to get together for almost a year now to record an episode. Our schedules and timezones just haven't aligned until this event when I basically accosted her at the Riverside booth. No time like the present, right? We start by chatting about the rise of video podcasting, which a fun quiz at the Spotify booth revealed is the fastest growing segment of podcasting right now. Kendall shares her insights on why video is taking off - it allows creators to connect with their audience in a more personal way and repurpose content for social media. Her top tip? Just start recording video alongside your audio recordings. Don't overcomplicate it at first. Simply use a tool like Riverside's video recording capabilities to capture video versions. Then see how you like working with that video content before potentially expanding into a bigger video strategy. We also discuss the tendency creators have to want to do ALL THE THINGS right away, when a gradual buildup is much more sustainable. As Kendall says, the flashy "overnight successes" you see have usually been quietly creating for 5+ years beforehand.

39:29In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Mark from Captivate.fm. We kicked things off by discussing the fantastic Podcast Show London 2024 that we were lucky enough to attend. Can you believe Mark has been attending podcasting events like this since way back in 2014? His experience in the industry is truly impressive. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy when he mentioned going to all those iconic events like Podcast Movement and PodFest in the States over the years. A girl can dream, right? But what really got me excited was our deep dive into the world of Podcasting 2.0. For those of you who are still wrapping your heads around this concept, let me break it down for you. Essentially, Podcasting 2.0 is all about taking the traditional podcasting experience (let's call that 1.0) and supercharging it with a whole host of new features and capabilities. We're talking monetization opportunities, enhanced listener engagement, better analytics, and so much more! Mark did an incredible job of explaining how Podcasting 2.0 works its magic through the use of specialized tags or enclosures within the good ol' RSS feed structure. These tags act as gateways, unlocking features that were previously unavailable or a real pain to implement. I mean, who wouldn't want an easier way to integrate things like cross-app commenting, alternate content formats (hello, video!), and even value-for-value contributions from listeners? Now, I know some of you might be feeling a little overwhelmed by all this talk of Podcasting 2.0. But fear not! Mark reassured me (and all of you) that there's no need to panic. The beauty of this evolution lies in its seamless integration with existing podcasting practices. You can continue creating and distributing your amazing content as you always have, gradually adopting the new features as they become relevant to your needs. And let's not forget about the benefits for us listeners! Podcasting 2.0 promises enhanced content discovery, seamless multi-format experiences, increased engagement with our favorite shows, and improved accessibility. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved in this wonderful world of podcasting. Of course, we couldn't resist indulging in a little Star Wars banter (because what's a conversation without a few nerdy references?). Mark even shared the name of his very own Star Wars podcast, "Spark of Rebellion" â how awesome is that? I may or may not have pestered him about the possibility of a Podcasting 3.0 in the future, but you'll have to tune in to find out his thoughts on that! All in all, this episode was an absolute treasure trove of information and insights. I walked away feeling energized and excited about the future of podcasting, and I hope you did too. So what are you waiting for? Hit that play button and dive right in! Until next time, keep those podcasts rolling, and may the force of Podcasting 2.0 be with you! Highlights: Unique microphone setup at Spiritland Media for recording Mark's experience at the Podcast Show London and involvement in talks and panels Insights about Captivate - hosting, distribution, and monetization platform for podcasters Podcasting 2.0 - enhancements to the original podcasting concept Evolution from Podcasting 1.0 to 2.0 and speculation on a possible Podcasting 3.0 Role of AI in podcasting and dispelling concerns about AI taking over Tips for growing a podcast audience - being a guest on other podcasts, engaging with new audiences, and prioritizing consistency Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:36 Captivate at the Podcast Show London 00:06:55 Understanding Podcasting 2.0 00:19:37 Exploring the Future of Podcasting 00:24:08 The Role of AI in Podcasting 00:31:38 Tips for Growing a Podcast Audience đ Try Captivate.fm free for 7 days >> This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free. đ§ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://veritysangan.com/newsletter Freebies: â
