434A- Podcasting vs Social Media on smart phone

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this repurposed episode of The Podcast Reporter, we focus on the theme delivered originally by Dave Jackson in his School of Podcasting show earlier which compares the effective communication and better business results between Podcasting vs. the Social Media on a smart phone.

This topic came up previously by Dave Jackson in episode # 640, in which he interviewed Paul Colligan of The Podcast Report show.

As you will hear in this repurposed audio episode, there are main differences that define the environment of each platform — podcasts vs. social media. These include the “quick hit” of social media vs. the “listening and consumption of media with intimacy” to the listener. What is interesting for me is that Paul actually compared the landing-and-staying time of the user for each platform, and what this meant to him in the world of new media.

Another theme is the “hype” from social media vs. the full consumption of media in podcasting. In addition, there is a brief description of the “OTG” topic for those of you who may have been contemplating to get “off the grid” in order to improve your mental health — with a key example of the podcaster who has done this (namely, Adam Curry in his show, No Agenda podcast).

We hope that you find this topic relevant and interesting for you, as a podcaster — and especially if you are a profitable podcaster. If so, we hope that the value you find in this discussion will help you select the better platform for your own communication and decide to invest your time in generating content, discussion and other areas of communication.

Thank you for your attention.

417- Podcasting Pioneer — the Doug Welch story

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Note: In this episode of The Podcast Reporter, we deliver a repurposed episode that is an earlier interview with Doug Welch, one of the earliest podcasters — someone who is a real “Podcast Pioneer”. This repurposed episode is complete and not edited, but it still has a lot of good, evergreen content. It was originally prepared for a prior podcast show called “Boomers for Startups” (which has now podfaded).

It is the Doug Welch story which describes how his back catalog of content from a prior job became the main storage and archive for his very successful podcast which was called “Career Opportunities.”

As a matter of fact, the episode that posted in his podcast show, Career Opportunities, at the time of this writing used the term “New Normal” some six years before the pandemic (when it was used time and time again by the media).

But as you will hear in this audio interview, Doug did not stop there. He had this podcast run for over 10 years. And it is still now in Apple Podcasts under Career Opportunities, where he has several episodes that are of interest for any type of new media creator — podcasters, screencasters, authors, bloggers, etc. And you will also get to know more of Doug Welch “behind the scenes.”

He also started five other podcasts, as well as screencasts for video on his YouTube channels. He also is an author of several books, as well as a part-time yearly theater producer for enjoyment. He considers himself as a teacher — but just not in the classroom (as his wife is a University professor).

And, in addition, he also has volunteered his time and service to assist in setting up conferences for the high-tech and podcasting world in the BarCamp style and format. And you can also hear how he had to curb some of his activities and focus his time on planned programs, due to his health issues and his work.

And he started his flagship podcast of Career Opportunities in 2004, way before most of the early podcasters were on the map. As he said in this audio episode, of the 24 shows that had content on the early platform with Adam Curry, his was one of them.

Although this episode is really from his back catalog, Doug keeps posting updated episodes today. We encourage you to sign up and register for his show, for he is one of the few pioneers (aka “venerable elders”) in podcasting that is still publishing content which is of value to the newer and aspiring podcasters.

You can see the website of DouglasEWelch.com for more information on his programs, podcasts and his life projects.

Thank you for your attention.

416- Podcasting update with Adam Curry

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of podcastreporter.com, we focus on a podcast show called NewMediaShow.com with Todd Cochrane — because this show had a special guest, Adam Curry of No Agenda.”

In a recent episode of Todd Cochrane’s podcast show, Adam Curry took a deeper dive into the beginnings of the podosphere and his own role in creating the function of podcasting, along with Dave Winer. So notably called “The Podfather,” Adam recounts his beginnings from 2000 in the world of audio and his frustration at having to wait enormous times for any download over the internet of either audio or video.

In addition, Adam also goes into what a successful podcast show requires (e.g., number one rule is that “you have to have an outstanding product”), and especially the business model for donations that his show, No Agenda, uses from his “producers” (that’s right — no listeners, for all are producers), as well as other resources. This model is called the “Value for Value” model — and Adam spends a great deal of time in the interview to explain this, with some examples.

You can listen to the entire interview in episode number 384 of newmediashow.com (where you can choose to download it or listen to it). I highly encourage you to consume this content, as it brings about the story of podcasting and how it got started, as well as a look into the psyche and personality of Adam Curry — then and now.

We hope that you find this episode in NewMediaShow.com of great value for yourself, as a podcaster in this space.

Thank you for your attention.
