In a recent CNBC article, they stated that Jack Conte the CEO of Patreon has said their business model was not sustainable. I did find it weird that in the video you don’t hear Jack say that. In a recent Google Hangout Jack actually explains who that was taken out of context and is blatantly…
I’ve been told that I can be a bit of a wet blanket when new tools and systems enter the podcasting space. This is often due to me being in the space over a decade. Let me share a bit of history as I want to talk about chartable.com The year is 2005. I created…
As podcasters want more downloads, they can easily get more by spending a little time on their podcast titles. I read an article that said 8 out of 10 people will actually read your headline, but only two out of 10 will read the article (this was about blogs), but it goes to show you how…
Look, I’m a geek, I like Gadgets, and I’ve heard about the Amazon Echo ($179) but when I heard about the Amazon Echo Dot (all the power of the Echo without the speaker) I was all over it (as you might imagine, being a podcaster I have a blue tooth speaker, and some audio equipment…

It seems like every time any press happens about podcasting the same shows are mentioned (Marc Maron, This American Life, Nerdist, 995 Invisible, Radiolab). These are all good shows, but there are great shows created in people’s closets, dining rooms, without a staff of 18 behind them, they deserve the spotlight as well. So here…
We need to quit being cheap. I can go on and on about how we pay for things with time or money. Currently I’m watching Game of Thrones via Netflix DVD. They ship me a DVD with two episodes. I watch it immediately and ship it back. Two days later I get another two episodes….
Well, I’ve been at Libsyn almost a month. I doing support, and it’s a really interesting look at the podosphere. Here are some of the things I see that cause problems. Free tutorials that are outdated (promoting Feedburner) (see quit podcasting like it’s 2012) People worrying about Libsyn “Going out of business tomorrow”. When I spoke…
