The Podmaster: podcasting growth advice and insights for people and brands

I'm 'The Podmaster', here to help you with podcasting growth advice and insights, whether you're a brand or an individual who's looking to grow your podcast and attain 'podmastery'. My name is Neal Veglio and I've been in the podcasting game since 2001, when I became the first person in the UK to upload audio of my then radio show online, and generate an audience. This audience followed me throughout my radio career and engaged with my various other podcasts. But it wasn't always easy. And when I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency. I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals through my company Podknows Podcasting. Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my clients do with our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful!

    Learn your REAL podcast global ranking - NOT your listen score!

    Forget Listen Notes - this is how you learn your true rankingIt's one of the most perplexing and annoying parts of podcasting—understanding your podcast's global ranking. Let's face it, it's a complicated mess. You log into your host's dashboard, see some numbers, but what do they truly mean? How do they stack up against others? More importantly, how can you use this data to improve and maybe even monetize your show? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you how to decipher your podcast's performance against the global landscape. Let's get one thing straight: a lot of the so-called ranking tools and sites out there are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Once you've heard this episode, you'll get why IAB downloads are just a piece of the puzzle and how individual hosting companies have their own methods that can distort your view. (Here's a useful link that explains what IAB downloads actually are! You'll learn that the so-called 'top 1%' status many flaunt might not be as genuine as it seems.

    Welcome to "The Asylum - LinkedIn Won't Like This", a podcast that gets messy into the depths of the world’s largest professional networking platform. We'll be ruffling feathers and spilling the secrets behind the connections, the phony influencers, and the scammers who make up LinkedIn’s dark, creepy underbelly. Each week, we tackle a new topic that goes beyond the polished profiles and perfect endorsements. From scams and fake influencers to the effectiveness of networking and the point of verification or LinkedIn Premium, we're definitely not here to make friends. But we're not just going to dish on the 'din – we're also bring in some of the platform's experts to share their insights on business, LinkedIn strategies, and the realities of professional networking. But let me be clear. This is not a LinkedIn educational podcast. Our goal isn't to make you better informed about LinkedIn. There are plenty of LinkedIn themed podcasts that will do that far better. This podcast has one goal. To provide you with a critical, humorous, and insightful look at the darker side of LinkedIn, so you can be better equipped to avoid the shysters, the cringey try hard wannabe influencers, and the copy-paste PDF peddlers.
