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, 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.

Customer Reviews
Fusion Podcast Education Value
Dave and Jim both bring unique perspective on the world of podcast media tech, great huge value is given from both these guys week after week they both bring greater insight than you would of had before.
Unique Podcast about Podcasting
Love this show! Just Podcasting love and no selling. I also like that Dave & Jim question the standard practices and conventions of Podcasting.
I would like to hear Dave a little more though - sometimes it sounds like he is just interviewing Jim - but that's a tiny gripe in an otherwise awesome show.
Keep it rocking lads!
