Don't just listen to podcasts - watch them, says YouTube CEO

- Podcasting is a mainstream media in Australia, the US and UK with over 50% of people listening to a podcast every month in each country. Our time and attention is limited so what other media is declining? - YouTube is the main access point for news podcasts in the US. - Why are more users willing to pay for ad-free quality digital content (behind paywalls)? What does this mean for the future of advertising if the people who can afford to pay for ad-free content are the same people advertisers want to reach? - Why are "Downloads decreasing for many podcasts" but podcast listen/watch time is growing? - YouTube CEO Neal Mohan spoke at Cannes Lions this week and unsurprisingly he said "people don’t want to just listen”. More worryingly, he also spoke about a new form of branded commercial advertising for podcasts. Will this be more like uninterruptible TV commercials? Finally James has launched https://podnews.net/extras and Sam has submitted a native version of TrueFans to the Apple & Google stores.

Insightful, concise and witty

15/02/2024

'Casters enthusiast

I decided as a long term podcaster I must become more professional about my industry and learn. So I did a tour of podcast 'industry' podcasts and this was far and away, I mean by a country mile the finest. It is insightful but also a joy to listen to. Sam and James get on really well, and it is not over verbose. I mean there was another one which shall remain nameless (but is in fact Libsyn) where I wanted to eat my own liver. I heartily recommend it.
Fresh and fascinating

Unlike so many others this podcast is well-focussed and professionally presented. Concise and easy to listen to. Good notes too, all that makes a nice change.

Please fix sibilance, it is so irritating, you cannot stop noticing from the beginning of the latest EP. Especially on headphones I have to stop listening it’s so bad, you can only hear accented S’s..
