Ray Ortega

Discussing the issues that face podcast producers and podcasting. Each Roundtable features a new podcaster from the community of viewers listeners. We talk less about the 'how-to' and more about the 'why.' You'll learn how to improve your podcast through the shared experience of other podcasters.

Podcasters' Roundtable

If you're a podcaster, do you also record your show live, as-in, do you live-stream? Why or why not? Do you even care about live? What's different about live vs time-shifted podcasts?

Podcasters Don't Care About Live-Streaming

Nearly 50% of monthly podcast downloads come from older episodes. What are you going to do with that info!?

Did You Forget to Categorize Your Podcast?

Podcasts, no longer a word you have to explain to anyone. So, with everyone knowing what a podcasts is, are the advertisers flooding into the space to reach people who might not be listening to their messages elsewhere? Is it easier for you to get an advertiser for your podcast in 2021? How do you even start to look for an ad if you want them? 
 
Roundtablers: Ray Ortega, Dave Jackson, Shane Rogers, and Martin Donison.

Paid podcasts. There are many ways to get paid as a podcaster and now Apple and Spotify are launching their own avenues for podcasters to produce premium content.
 
 
 
Beyond the differences like price setting, cost to the creator etc., all stuff bound to change over time, what does it really mean for your show?
 
 
 
Join Ray Ortega, Dave Jackson, Paul Colligan, Effie Parks, and Bryan Barletta to help figure out what works for your show, in terms of monetization and how you might begin to navigate premium podcasting.

Title: Is Spotify's big bet on podcasts failing?
 
 
 
Main Takeaway: The battle of converting music listeners to podcast listeners continues. Will it be worth playing the long game to find success? And is the podcast audience big enough to warrant platforms branching out to have exclusive shows and content?

Title: What is the Value of Platforms Anyway?...Or...The False Choice Between Reach and Revenue
 
 
 
Main Takeaway: What Platforms Should do is boost your reach. Johnny Carson used to make careers overnight because everyone was watching. Being in Amazon makes it easier to be found, but may not boost your reach. A podcaster will either get a bigger audience, or get paid to join a platform.
