Navigating Formatting Challenges in Apple Podcast Descriptions

This show is equipped with Podcasting 2.0 chapters. Get a modern podcast app at https://podcasting2.org/apps  Hello everyone, Dave Jackson here, your trusty guide through the podcasting landscape, welcoming you back to another episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach." Today, we're tackling a topic that's become a bit of a thorn in the side of podcasters everywhere: Apple Podcasts Formatting Issues. I've been there, wrestling with descriptions and ensuring everything looks as sharp as an HD display, no matter the platform. Whether you're tuning in from Spotify or Apple, we've got you covered with tricks of the trade. I'm pleased to have the ever-knowledgeable MATHEW PASSY joining me today. Together, we will explore the best practices for formatting, divulging our experiences with dodging those pesky issues that can make or break the listener's experience. Expect to glean insights on doubling your paragraph spaces and placing key information where it matters most. But that's just the starting point. We've got a full slate on our hands—discussing the widgets and gadgets of the audio world. We're talking remote recording platforms, mics, media hosts, and even my own trials with the Sony ZV 1 as a webcam. It's a treasure trove of tech talk that you won't want to miss.

Engaging Listeners with Giveaways(?)

On today's episode, "Are Contests a Good Audience Builder?," we tackle a burning question: Are contests really the hidden gem for growing your podcast listenership, or are they just a magnet for spam and fake entries? I'll look at some of the crucial podcasting tools out there, like the demise of Evernote, and the rise of NOTEJOY, and STREAMYARD https://supportthisshow.com/streamyard, and we'll dissect what these platforms offer in terms of features and price points. Dave's going to fill you in on the intricate dance of dealing with explicit content in podcasts, especially for those of you hoping to go global—we've got a list of countries with specific content restrictions you'll want to hear about.

Editing Lessons: AI Tools are Not Quite There

* * Editing is a subjective art form that often includes the words, "It depends" when explaining how to do it. Today we start off with Ralph From AskRalph.com who shares somewhat of a nightmare he ran into when he let AI do ALL the editing. * *   * I also say AI instead of being Artificial Intelligence should be looked at as Assisted Intelligence because AI gets us 80-90% of the way there and you ALWAYS need a human to take one more pass to approve any edits. * * OIN THE SCHOOL OF PODCASTING Join the School of Podcasting worry-free using the coupon code " COACH " and save 20%.

Change of Plans: No Show 12/23/23

I wanted to alert everyone that you can sleep in on Saturday. I have to attend a funeral for a friend (who lost her Mom) and cant do the show.  Enjoy your holiday, and be sure to hug all your friends, family, or anyone who has meaning in your life. You just never know when someone you love will have their number called. In this case, it wasn't a surpise, but that the pain is still there.

[00:06:35] Sent it to LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube;  Ecamm is a Mac-only app for podcasting. They cater to Mac users. Spotify changes revenue share for ads. Negative press for big companies. CNN puts MP3 files on YouTube. [00:16:07] Don't do it. Podcast vs. YouTube battle. [00:21:05] Tool Toasty automates podcast transcription with AI. Other options include Magai https://supportthisshow.com/magai, Cast Magic, and Capshoo. [00:27:25] Jeff mentioned a new AI tool called Maghai. It allows you to save prompts in a library and costs $9. There is an affiliate link at audacitytopodcast.com/magai. Some people may be hesitant about AI, but it can be powerful and helpful. [00:35:26] Summary: Promotion strategies include sending images, prewritten tweets, show links, and using Discord for communication. Repurposing content and making it easy for guests to share is important. Some use t-shirts and e-cards for added promotion. [00:42:46] Send a thank you note with gift card. Promote show if interested, not pressuring. [00:48:35] Media hosting can be expensive and resource-intensive, but there are affordable options like Red Circle, Lipsyn, Buzzsprout, and Captivate. Some hosts may require a dedicated server or charge higher fees for popular shows. It's generally recommended to use a media host, although it's not necessary. Red Circle offers free hosting with good customer service, while other hosts may have limitations and additional charges. [00:54:37] "Pod ops: podcast hosting with all-in-one tools." [01:02:42] Sure MVX 2U is a new USB microphone by Sure that offers clean gain and the ability to save settings. It can be used with any non-USB microphone. Lipson allows users to use their own domain for a fee. [01:06:31] Free podcasting tips, software, and equipment recommendations. [01:13:06] Video game buyer prefers simple racing experience. Editor uses new Streamyards feature successfully. Randy asks about Sony VZ camera. User finds Sony camera inconvenient for streaming. Considering alternatives for YouTube videos. Regrets camera depreciation after new models released. Apologies for lateness, promises improvement next time. [01:16:23] There's no one way to podcast.

Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes.

This episode covered a wide range of topics, from recommendations vs feed drops to event experiences, audio engineering, and more. Here are three key takeaways that I think will be valuable for you: THE POWER OF CLEAR COMMUNICATION: As podcast hosts, it's crucial to provide clear information about your show's theme or target audience. This helps potential guests understand the interview questions better, leading to more engaging and insightful conversations. NAVIGATING THE EVENT LANDSCAPE: The episode delves into the speaker's experiences attending various conferences and events. They highlight the advantages of smaller, more intimate gatherings, such as Indipodcon in New Jersey. Smaller events foster meaningful connections and conversations, unlike larger conferences, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. FEED DROPS FOR PROMOTING PODCASTS: Dave explains the concept of feed drops, where podcasters share an episode from another show on their own platform. We discuss two options: playing the entire episode or providing a host-read endorsement and linking to the episode. Feed drops can be a great way to collaborate and introduce your audience to new content. * JOIN THE SCHOOL OF PODCASTING Join the School of Podcasting worry-free using the coupon code " COACH " and save 20%.
