    Matty Staudt: Podcasting, Podle.co and the Podcast Academy

    Matty Staudt: Podcasting, Podle.co and the Podcast Academy

    Matty Staudt is the owner of Jam Street Media, a board member of the Podcast Academy, about to launch Podle.co and .... looking for his next opportunity. All at once.

    In this episode, we are going to talk about podcasting growth and opportunities with industry experts, the pros and cons of remote work in the podcast industry, and his experience of starting a network, despite initial reservations, and the importance of cross-promotion within the network.

    As two radio veterans, we expressed our frustration with working alone in the podcast industry, desiring more human interaction and creative collaboration, the challenges of building a podcast network in today's industry, including the need for dedicated sales and content that resonates with listeners.

    And naturally, Matty expressed concern about the lack of monetization in podcasting, particularly in comparison to video content, and the potential for low-quality ads to harm the industry. He pulls no punches and that it why we love having him on the show.

    A transcript of this episode is available here.

    We also discussed his upcoming business venture called Podle.co which pairs creators and producers. Matt Cundill Voiceovers might just get involved with this. As well the value of the Podcast Academy and our uncertainty around celebrity podcasts, with many failing to gain traction or provide valuable content.

    Thanks to our supporters!

    Craig Baird: Canadian History Ehx

    Craig Baird: Canadian History Ehx

    Fellow Canadian history buffs, rejoice: Craig Baird has a cool podcast and radio show.

    Actually, that call to action may not resonate with very many of you, but that's exactly why Craig Baird started his podcast. Canadian History Ehx is a show dedicated to proving that Canadian history isn't nearly as boring as everyone thinks. Sure, it may not be as long and storied as European or Asian history. Sure, it doesn't have the plethora of bloody battles that American history provides. But you're doing your country and yourself a disservice if you think that means there aren't tons of great stories in the Canadian history books.

    Unfortunately though, as Craig and I discuss, you may have to do a bit of digging to find them on your own. Which is what makes Craig's podcast so great: he does the digging for you. All you have to do is listen.

    Craig talks to me about the most interesting parts of Canadian history, including tales of little-known Indigenous battles and would-be revolutionaries, from the country's inception to present day. We also explore the failings of the Canadian education system in terms of actually teaching our history, as evidenced by Craig and I being taught completely different things about figures like Louis Riel. Depending on which province you grew up in, there's a lot of important details you might have missed, but thankfully Craig is here to fill in the gaps.

    A video of this episode is here.

    I mentioned that you should take a Canadian Citizenship test online to determine how little you know about Canadian History - embarrass yourself here.

    If you want to hear more, check out Canadian History Ehx on Craig's website, or wherever you get your podcasts.

    You can also follow Craig on Facebook, Twitter/X and Instagram.

    Thanks to our supporters!

    Steve Goldstein: The New Rules of Podcasting

    Steve Goldstein: The New Rules of Podcasting

    Steve Goldstein is back after a nearly three year absence from the show to talk about video and podcasting. Last summer - video was the main topic of conversation at Podcast Movement, largely on the heels of a presentation by Steve Goldstein from Amplifi Media and Jay Nachlis from Coleman Insights.

    The study surveyed podcast listeners on how they "consume" podcasts across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple etc. Key findings were that 72% use multiple apps to listen, and 75% said a podcast can be audio or video. Steve and I also discussed how people are consuming podcasts in different ways - watching full videos, clips, highlights etc. Podcasters need to make content available in multiple formats to reach wider audiences. How? Well that's still something each individual podcaster needs to figure out.

    The Sound Off Podcast started recording a video version of our episodes shortly after this study was released. We are interested to know what you think.

    In the spirit of the study and this episode - we released this episode a few days early on YouTube, and spent a little more time than we would producing a video product.

    Thanks to our supporters!
