Do Podcast Ads Do More Harm Than Good?

Back in November, our Independent Podcaster Report found that only 15% of creators were actively monetising their shows. Of those that did, the majority were running ads and sponsorship. If you missed it, the full report is here. This week on Podcraft, we got into the thornier side of that: can ads erode audience trust? Are they an annoyance? And how many is too many? We picked apart some other claims, too: AI voices will become indistinguishable from real hostsOne viral clip can change everythingYouTube rewards podcasters more than podcast apps doIf you don't have 5+ hours a week, don't start a podcastYour podcast idea isn't uniqueIf you're not getting feedback, your podcast isn't memorable Podcraft is brought to you by Alitu and The Podcast Host

Autism & Podcasting: Life In The Ted Lane

Lindsay from the content team helps produce a show called Life In The Ted Lane with her brother, Ted (apparently the name ‘Ted Talks’ was taken, unfortunately). "Ted and his sister Lindsay talk about Ted’s adventures, news from Broadway and Hollywood, Muppet News, and also what it’s like to be autistic." https://lifeinthetedlane.buzzsprout.com/ Joining Matthew on this episode of Podcraft, Lindsay talks us through both the positive experiences and challenges of running the show, as well as the nuts and bolts of how it’s made. Among the many positive aspects of this podcast is the feedback from parents and caregivers of other autistic people. Ted and Lindsay's adventures have entertained on many a long car journey, and helped give others the confidence to get out there in the world.

Getting Booked on Other Shows, Listener Pet Peeves, & How to Get Feedback

Being interviewed on another podcast is a great way to bring value to a wider audience and grow your own as a result. But most podcasters (even those who don't run interview shows) have inboxes choked full of spammy and cynical requests to guest on their show. On this episode, we'll show you how to create a compelling pitch that actually gets seen by its intended recipient. Who knew such things were possible? On top of that, we discuss podcast listener pet peeves, as well as the various ways you can (effectively) get feedback on your podcast!

How to Fund Your Projects, with Phil Charnock

In the second episode of Inside Indie Games, we speak to Phil Charnock of Draw & Code. His company raised over £25,000 on Kickstarter to fund their first product, SwapBots. Phil brings some fantastic insights and advice for those interested in funding future projects. Draw & Code is a unique company; Phil describes them as creative content marketers who stay ahead of the curve by embracing immersive technology and spatial computing. But like any company, revenue and turnover are vital to survive and thrive long term, and the bulk of Draw & Code’s revenue still comes from client work. We explore how they sourced that work in the early days, and how they’ve continued to ensure that they find interesting collaborators and partners who are a good fit for them.
