A Faster Way To Edit Transcripts

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! If you’ve edited a few podcast transcripts, you probably know which words you’ll need to fix before you even open the next one. For Buzzcast, it’s often our own name: “Buzz Sprout” instead of “Buzzsprout.” Kevin wanted a way to make that correction without repeating it every time he went to edit a transcript. So, we updated the transcript editor to include Autocorrect, Autosave, keyboard shortcuts and more! With Autocorrect, you can fix a word or phrase and choose Add to autocorrect. The remaining matches in your transcript update immediately, and Buzzsprout applies that correction automatically when generating future transcripts for your show. We’ve also made the editing process itself quicker. Autosave saves your changes in the background, and double-clicking a word selects it so you can start typing your correction. You’ll also find improved Find & Replace, keyboard shortcuts, and chapter markers to help you get around the transcript. Kevin walks through the changes and more in this week’s Buzzcast. Listen to the episode to learn how you can save time editing your next transcript! Learn More New to Buzzsprout?

Keep The Indie Spirit Of Podcasting

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Alban and Jordan are back from Podcast Movement in New York, and they came home with a lot to talk about. Podcasting has changed dramatically since Buzzsprout attended the first Podcast Movement in 2014. This year’s conference made that growth especially clear with bigger businesses and new conversations about where the industry is headed. But some of their favorite moments were still the familiar ones: meeting other podcasters, hearing great ideas, and talking about why people keep making shows in the first place. That led to a bigger conversation about the future of indie podcasting. Is there room for smaller, more focused events built around creators who simply love making podcasts? They also share their favorite talks from the conference, updates from the Podcast Standards Project, and a great reminder from Ira Glass about something audio can do better than almost any other medium. If you want to know what’s changing in podcasting and what it could mean for indie creators, listen to this episode of Buzzcast! Listen to Buzzcast New to Buzzsprout?

Who Should Hear Your Podcast?

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Most of the time, we’re trying to get our podcast in front of as many people as possible. But there are times when reaching a smaller, specific group makes more sense. Maybe you want to give subscribers bonus episodes, create exclusive content for your biggest fans, or add a podcast to a course or coaching program. That’s where a private podcast can be really useful! In this episode of Podcasting Q&A, Cara walks through three ways to offer private content and how to choose between them based on what you want your listeners to experience. You can keep a podcast out of the public directories, build it into a membership, or use Buzzsprout Subscriptions to put premium episodes behind a paywall. If you’ve ever considered tailoring some of your content for a smaller group of listeners, listen to Podcasting Q&A! Listen to Podcasting Q&A New to Buzzsprout?

From Podcast to Stage

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! A few months ago, Jordan needed to pitch a talk for Podcast Movement. There was just one problem: the deadline was coming up fast, and she was having trouble narrowing down what she wanted to talk about. So she went back to her podcast, Buzzcast. Jordan uploaded years of transcripts to ChatGPT and asked it to find the topics she kept coming back to. And it came back with a lot to work with! One idea jumped out from an old episode about getting listeners to actually do what you ask. Jordan remembered loving that conversation, and suddenly, she could see the whole talk coming together! So, she used the episode as a framework and submitted the pitch. Now, she’ll be giving that exact talk at Podcast Movement in New York this week! In this episode of Buzzcast, she walks through the process and even tries it with a few listeners’ podcasts to see what ideas are hiding in their back catalogs. Chances are, there are some good ones hiding in yours, too. Listen to this week’s Buzzcast to learn how to find them! Listen to Buzzcast Buzzsprout Meetup at Podcast Movement Buzzsprout is headed to Podcast Movement 2026, and we want to hang out with you! Join us this Thursday, September 17th, from 5-6:30 PM for a fun afternoon of food, drinks, and networking! RSVP to save your spot. RSVP for Meetup New to Buzzsprout?

How Podcasting Changes You

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! We spend a lot of time thinking about how to grow our podcasts. But after a year of hosting Podcasting Q&A, Cara realized her podcast had been growing something else: her confidence. Before taking over the show, Cara was used to being given a task and completing it. Now, she was responsible for writing, recording, editing, publishing, and figuring out what the show should become. A year later, she noticed that confidence following her into other parts of her life. When she started coaching cheerleading, creating routines and leading the team didn't feel nearly as intimidating because she'd already spent a year learning how to trust her own ideas. And Cara isn't the only one. In this week's Buzzcast, the team shares some incredible stories about what can happen when people pick up a microphone! If you've been podcasting for a while, you've probably gotten better at more than podcasting. Listen to this week's Buzzcast to hear the stories that made us look at podcast growth a little differently! New to Buzzsprout? Join us today at 1 pm EST for a Buzzsprout Orientation hosted by our Podcaster Success Team. We'll walk you through your Buzzsprout account and help you prepare for a successful podcast launch!

Buzzsprout Creator Spotlight: Yasha

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Jeremy Gendelman had the recordings for Yasha sitting in a drawer for almost ten years. He'd recorded his grandfather telling the story of fleeing across the Soviet Union during the Nazi invasion of World War II. At the time, Jeremy was mostly a curious grandson with an old camcorder. He had no idea what he'd captured! Years later, after his grandfather passed away, Jeremy listened again. This time, he heard a podcast. "I have his voice. I already have his story. I have it told in the way he wanted to tell it." The problem was Jeremy had never produced a podcast before. So he learned as he went. He researched the history, practiced writing for narration, found a sound designer who could bring the story to life, and slowly built five episodes over three years. Jeremy's advice is: "If you have a story that matters to you, that's the qualification right there." If you’re curious what became of those tapes after ten years in a drawer, or need some inspiration for a show you've been waiting to make, check out Yasha. Listen to Yasha New to Buzzsprout?
