Let's get into the show:

- How Important is Distribution?
- Spreaker’s NEW Announcement: One-Tap Podcast Distribution in Spreaker Studio on iOS
Our goal is to create the best all-in-one podcast creation app, one which is portable, flexible and works for every level of podcasters.
This year we’ve made two further steps towards achieving this goal: in February we announced our first post-production feature, allowing iOS users to edit while on-the-go, and in January we added a new navigation bar, giving users clear access to their episodes drafts, previous episodes, and stats.
Continuing this mission of creating an app tailored to podcasters’ needs, we’re super excited to announce the launch of a new update.
Be ready to enjoy our one-tap podcast distribution feature, a function we know will help to remove some of the complications and fuss out of creating a podcast!
One Tap Distribution – Minimum Effort, Maximum Results. One tap will give you (both Android and iOS users) the power to reach literally millions of new listeners by publishing to Apple Podcasts via Podcast Connect Apple ID login as we pass your feed URL to Apple Podcast Connect No Cut and Pasting, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Spreaker.

Also, once a podcast is available on Apple Podcasts it automatically becomes available on other key listening platforms such as Breaker, Pocket Casts, Overcast and more – giving you the opportunity to literally double your audience.
The importance of good distribution is equally as important as creating excellent content,...

Let's get into the show:

- Power of Impactful Content & Being Easily Found
Deliver Value and being entertaining drives desired sharing and word of mouth recommendation. I subscribe to a podcast when the content matches my interests and name, audio quality is good, focused, and they drive value to listener life - What does the listener get from the content or what emotions are driven… impactful!!
Deliver undeniable value first, and then ask for the commitment of a subscribe in Apple Podcasts or other listening apps.
Send listeners to your website and place “Subscribe” links to Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can include directions on what to do with these links if you want… many folks just don’t understand all that stuff

- Voxnest Data Shows Women Over the Age of 55 Listen to More Podcasts than Men +55
When looking at the gender split, podcast listening takes a turn when looking at age groups. 2019 might be the year of the woman, with listening jumping from 41.5% to 44.9% for women, while decreasing from 58.5% to 55.51% for men.
Females aged between 55-64 and over 65 have been listening to more podcasts than males in the same age groups. This likely is due to more content being published for a female audience, as shows focused on genres such as true crime surge in popularity.

Let's get into the show:

-The Power of Joining or Starting Podcaster and Listening Communities
Spreaker has published a terrific blog post about this topic at Blog.Spreaker.com
The two platforms that dominate for building these communities are Meetup and Facebook or mix of both, but Google Groups does still exist but is a little old school

The one exception is “Telegram” a platform that has gained traction in Spanish speaking countries.

Generally Meetup excelled in event discovery by attendees, but Facebook was more appropriate for group discussion. Totally makes sense to me.

Seems like the power is to use both Meetup and Facebook Groups
Organizers discussed in the blog post generally feel like Meetup is great for RSVPs but those people aren’t as likely to show up. Those that find out about events on Facebook do tend to show up more. Meetup attendees are notoriously flakey”. I agree, I have run Podcaster Meetups in Seattle for Years.

Attendance will vary a lot based on month of the year, venue and purpose of the event
Communities attract all levels of podcaster

Being an Event Organizer can have many professional benefits - building your leadership brand can help your podcast grow too.
On the listener community side, I would recommend to create just a Facebook group for your listeners to engage with each other and ge listener feedback on topics and building intra-listener relationships.

On the show today:

-5 Steps to Creating a Podcast Budget
It’s a myth that setting up a podcast needs to be costly or expensive (of course it can be!) but podcasting on a budget is totally achievable. Whatever your budget or level, you can make podcasting work for you

-Understand Your Income

Therefore step number 1 is to make a clear goal of exactly what you want to do with your new podcast. By defining the purpose of your show and its format (how and where you are producing it etc) will help you create the foundations of the budget you need to create.

TIP: Always remember to take into consideration whether this is your profession or a hobby – how much you initially input will differ if you see this having cash rewards or not!

Determine your fixed costs
Next on your to-do list is to identify all of your fixed costs necessary for running your show.

Based on your planning around how you’re going to produce your show, you’ll need to do some research what options there are for your show’s needs and requirements. The things you need to take into consideration are items like your host platform, microphone.

-One of the main fixed costs (your host platform) can be kept to a minimum, by choosing free or low-cost podcast hosting platforms such as: Free getting started plan options.

TIP: Make sure you haven’t missed anything by taking a look through past bank statements and tick off everything in there.
Identify your variable (and one-off expenses)
Variable costs are those which are necessary for your business to continue functioning but change from month to month. And, if this is the beginning of your podcasting journey you’ll also need to include your one-off costs – money to cover your basic equipment: microphone and headset and also some $ to create some awesome cover art (we’ve written a guide to creating great cover art, here).

Wondering how to identify your variable costs? Look at what you’ve spent on office supplies, marketing / promotional costs or replacing old equipment over the last 6 months and calculate an average outgoing cost. About to start your podcast? Try and predict what you might spend (we’ve written a blog on launching a podcast you might want to take a look at) and use this to structure your budget for...

-Listener Comment - My name is Ricky from the 5ive (Five) Star Wrestling Show and I am a HUGE fan of the Spreaker Live Show and it has helped tremendously!

I also am a huge fan of Alex Axum and read his articles "Top Reasons to Podcast Live" and "The Biggest Problem Podcasters Have (And How to Fix it)" in the podcast business journal. Very insightful and straightforward.

My listener comment: This is a question for both of you. Are there any aspects (timing, concepts, equipment) in the radio world that podcasters are not utilizing to help their show be more entertaining, engaging or structured?

Sorry for the book! Thank you for your consideration!

-How or When to add Advertising to your Show -
Optionally, you can have advertising to your show from your first episode on Spreaker, but is up to you and your plan
If you are wanting growing income from your show, you need to plan for that.
Many choose to build audience first, then slowly get into advertising, keep in mind audience size is important to gaining revenue from advertising as is most of the time based on a CPM model or getting paid based on an increment of 1,000 download/plays of your show.
Ad’s can be either baked in “Host Reads”, typically only available to large audience shows in the 10’s of thousands range.
The other type is the monetization offered by Spreaker with every paid pro account utilizes Dynamic Ad Insertion and we do all the ad sales for you. You can enable Preroll, Midroll and Postroll Ads and it will just do it all for you and you get a revenue share on it. Just need to set your Midroll positions in each of your episodes.

- We got a show PROMO this past week and wanted to play them here.

Hello Rob (and Alex)

Thank you for the work you put into the Spreaker Live Show every week. Since I found out about it about a year ago, I don't think I've missed more than a few episodes, and the information on the Spreaker platform and the industry in general has been great.

You have asked for a few promos for shows that use the Spreaker platform, and I have, well, a lot currently. I am attaching a :30 and a :60 promo for my Weekly News & Current Event Review Show, and hope one makes the cut for a shoutout soon.

Thanks,
J Cleveland Payne | jclevelandpayne.net

Jason Rigden
Thanks for mentioning the Seattle Podcasters Guild! What makes a "podcast city" is the community of podcasters. A strong local ecosystem makes for strong shows. It is just like in music. Cities with strong interconnected music communities produce exceptional bands. I think the same thing will work for podcasting. We just need to start building those communities and that is exactly what the guild is trying to do.

The DMVShow
Hey guys! I actually started my podcast doing live shows roughly 2 yrs ago. It is definitely challenging being the host, producer, sound engineer and all in between. I never edited anything.. I love doing it live unfortunately, I ran out of material. But i am planning a reboost to the show....fine tune....thxs for all the advise

On the show today:

- Top Reasons To Podcast Live - Is LIVE Podcasting A Thing?

When I started podcasting in 2012, live podcasting was a relatively new thing. Podcasts were always an “on-demand” medium, allowing you to consume pre-recorded content later via RSS. In fact, only a few podcasting companies allowed you to podcast live, like my podcast host Spreaker.com.

Like other users I played with the go-live option, but preferred to take the safe, traditional route and pre-record the show. It wasn’t until I did a live all-day marathon that I found the true power of doing a live broadcast.

Now, in 2018, I’m all in on live broadcasting! Here are the top reasons why you should consider going live.

Instant Interaction And Feedback - Listener Friendships

Did you just hit your listener’s funny bone? It’s easy to see with the string of LOLs and emojis in the comments section.

Shock your audience into silence? Silent phones are a dead giveaway.

Did you piss off all your listeners? The ALL CAPS comments full of bite and bile tell the tale.

If you wonder how listeners are reacting to your show, going live is a great way to get instant feedback. Most podcasts may get five to 10 comments max per episode, but go live and it is common to get hundreds of comments per episode. Granted, many of the comments are from the same users, but the overall interaction and feedback is far and beyond any on-demand podcast you might do.

Immediate Satisfaction - Both Host and Live Listener

When I was an actor doing live theater, I loved the immediate satisfaction of hearing the audience gasp from a dramatic moment on stage. My fellow thespians and I would become motivated and energized by their reaction. You will find the same thing happening to you when broadcasting live.

Don’t forget this goes both ways. Your audience will get immediate acknowledgement in real time and it will encourage them to give even more feedback.

Less Production Time - Pre-planning makes a difference

Pre-production not your thing? Going live can help with that. Just play a quick intro and get into the meat of the show. No need for fancy sound bites, effects, royal music, etc.

Find post-production editing too time consuming? No worries, since the show is already published. When using platforms like Spreaker.com you have the option to have the live broadcast archived. The download is then available to those who prefer to listen on-demand.

It’s Exciting! --- Thrill and Scary Too!

I still get a rush...

On the show today:

- How do we get Listeners to Care About Listening to Podcasts
We need to help new listeners have a motivation to listen and even just care about podcasting.
They need to see some benefit from listening before they will take the time to listen.
What are the benefits and how we might expose them to new potential listeners

- More Show Distribution is Coming to Spreaker via airable API deal
To align with CES in Vegas Spreaker has done a deal to enable shows to be distributed via new electronics devices.

VOXNEST's SPREAKER podcast platform has inked a partnership deal with TUNE IN GmbH's airable platform which allows hardware manufacturers to integrate internet-delivered media to their devices. Under the pact, SPREAKER podcasts will be available to enabled device users and a collection of SPREAKER shows will be featured in a dedicated content channel via the API.

With SPREAKER being on consumer electronics and high-end audio equipment, it’s important that customers using these devices have access to podcast content as well, not just music. Partnering with airable is a great opportunity to promote the podcast content across consumer electronics platforms and devices.”

- Podcon 2 is coming Jan 19-20 in Seattle at http://Podcon.com
Discount on tickets is available by using discount code “spreaker” - $10 off
Spreaker will have a booth and is Silver Sponsor of the event
We will have 4 people from Spreaker (Voxnest) at the event

- Spreaker has a WordPress Shortcode Audio Player Plugin
The Spreaker shortcode plugin is an easy way to embed Spreaker audio player into your WordPress blog. It works for any Spreaker episode, show, or user. Once you install this plugin, it will work on all of your blog posts.

A simple example: [spreaker type=player resource="episode_id=3331356"]

Interesting intro conversation about live/radio. Alex spoke about the audio quality. I agree it needs to be of a certain standard, but have you heard talk radio? Some of that quality is poor - even the BBC. Content is king.

On the show today:

- Podcasting Trends To Watch For in 2019:

1) In 2018, growth on the podcast content side has been outpacing the listening side, and that’s leading me to wonder whether all this content can realistically find an audience that will align with the projected advertising revenue in 2019 and beyond. If podcast history serves as a guide, growth in audience will catch up eventually to bring balance again. What this means is that podcasters can't simply build it and wait for audiences to come.
In 2019 and beyond, as more and more content is available, it will be increasingly important the whole podcast industry focus on converting more android smartphone and radio listeners to becoming podcast listeners in 2019.

2) Podcasters in 2019 will be looking to get in all the new music service platforms and grow big audiences while also expecting more promotional support from their podcast hosting platforms. Those platforms providing this level of support will prove challenging to do across thousands of podcast shows, but is very much part of the growing need and desire to grow the podcast listening audience for their show and the overall industry.

3) Listening trends in 2019 will increasingly be built around very diverse audience communities. No longer can podcasts be seen as a by-white-male, for-white-male medium. In fact, 2018 marked the year when the demographics of podcast audiences nearly mirrored the demographics of the United States overall. at least for gender and ethnicity

4) International growth of downloads will continue in 2019 from these top 10 fastest growing countries based on Voxnest data in 2018: Brazil, New Zealand, Ireland, Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Turkey, Mexico, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Looking at the countries with the highest quantity of downloads: United States of America, Denmark, Brazil, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland. We see that even some mature podcasting markets are still growing.

5) When it comes to mobile devices, the Android operating system is the global leader, with an astonishing 72% market share. Still, with just 24.4% of the market, Apple dominates when it comes to podcast listening worldwide. According to our metrics, the ratio of listening on Apple Podcasts versus general podcast listening on Android is about five to one. With this disparity, it seems getting a larger share of Android users to listen to podcasts would immediately...

On the show today:

- How to make your podcast the right length
Podcasts are a multi-tasking and very personal medium - that is, you can listen to a podcast while you do something else...many places in your life on can listen too. Does knowing how long listening opportunities are?

The average commuting time in the US is 26 minutes. If you make a podcast longer than the average commute time, would be less those listening while commuting. Shorter, can make some feel disappointed.

The overall average length of a podcast is 43 minutes
But that 43 minutes figure includes all podcasts, whether they're popular or not.

How long is a popular one? It turns out that the average length of a top 100 podcast (in October 2018) is 53 minutes. So does it really matter or should it matter for different genres… like video game podcasts are 90 minutes

My NewMediaShow is 90+ minutes long and it has 12,000 plus listeners per episode - podcast about podcasting...
