    Rob Greenlee: What is a Podcast in 2025?
    Jun 3 2025
    What is a podcast in 2025? We called in Rob Greenlee to provide insights into the evolving landscape of podcasting, focusing on the rise of video podcasting. He discusses how platforms like YouTube and Spotify are reshaping the industry, challenging traditional RSS-based distribution. We tried to land on the definition of a podcast, emphasizing content over distribution method. We talked metrics, monetization, and content creation for new podcasters. Rob highlighted the importance of personal branding and adapting to technological changes, including the potential impact of AI on media. The group debates the future of local podcasting and the difficulties creators face in generating revenue. Things are changing. Fast. ⁠A full transcription of the episode is available on our website.⁠ Check out more from the Superfriends below: Johnny Peterson - ⁠⁠Johnny Podcasts⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.johnnypodcasts.com⁠⁠ Catherine O’Brien -⁠⁠ Branch Out Programs ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.branchoutprograms.com/⁠⁠ Jon Gay: Jag in Detroit ⁠⁠https://www.jagindetroit.com⁠⁠ David Yas: Pod 617 -⁠⁠ The Boston Podcast Network⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.pod617.com/⁠⁠ Matt Cundill - ⁠⁠The Sound Off Media Company⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://soundoff.network⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How We Evaluate Podcasts

    How We Evaluate Podcasts
    May 14 2025
    The Podcast Super Friends discussed the importance of and evaluating podcasts. We focused on technical quality, content, and promotion. Johnny got us started with microphones, managing echo, and maintaining consistent loudness levels (LUFS -15). For video, using high-quality cameras and proper lighting was emphasized. Jag shifted us over to content, stressing the importance of engaging introductions, avoiding overly long episodes, and asking hard questions respectfully. The friends were complimentary of Valerie Geller's recent appearacne on the Sound Off Podcast with Matt Cundill, where she spoke about her book and offered up OODLES of excellent podcast related tactcis on creative content. YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT HERE. Matt is all about the packaging of a show; including the artwork, metadata and how you show looks and appears in places like Apple, Spotify and Amazon. Catherine got us going on promotion strategies like sharing episode links, using visual cues on YouTube, and leveraging guest networks. The conversation also touched on the importance of making podcasts about the audience and being involved in relevant communities. Catherine also suggests using those subtle warm calls to engage existing customers or fans when promoting a podcast, especially for branded podcasts with built-in audiences. We missed David Yas on the show today but Johnny managed to promote his show called Past 10's Top 10 Time Machine. We are 5 Podcast Producers who make podcasts for People and Companies.
