The Advice We Needed When We Had 7 Listeners (Classic)

Our indiepod legends have given us many insights, tips, and words of advice this season. They're speaking from positions of authority and experience, but they didn't get there overnight. On the final episode of Season 20, we'll dig into what they wish they'd known before they started and ask about some mistakes they see new podcasters make.

YouTube Can Get You Discovered. But Can It Deliver?

When Apple Podcasts announced vastly improved video capabilities back in February, I'll admit that my first thought was, "Will anyone care?" To my mind, if someone already watches video podcasts on YouTube, what incentive would there be to change platforms? But, I missed one crucial aspect. Delivery. On YouTube, you can hit subscribe and smash as many bells as you like; there's still no guarantee the platform will show you the new episodes of your favourite podcasts. This is the crucial difference with video on Apple Podcasts, where you can follow a show and get all new episodes sent to you as soon as they're published. For podcasters creating video, this provides a real incentive to let your YouTube viewers know there's a better place for them to keep up with you. The Big Y might be helping you get in front of potential new fans, but can you trust it to serve up your new content to them week after week? Even if the answer is "yes", it's brilliant to have other options available. And on this week's episode of Podcraft, I thoroughly enjoyed picking the brains of Buzzsprout's Alban Brooke, who really has his finger on the pulse with all of this.

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

Does "Owning Your Audience" Confuse Reach With Trust?

If you build an audience on a third-party platform, it's often said that you don't "own" that audience. But does this miss the point of what an audience actually is?

Are Solo podcasts harder to grow than interview shows?Are interviews the laziest form of podcasting?Is owning your email list more important than growing your podcast?Will AI replace most podcast editing within 2 years?If you let AI write for you, will you lose the ability to write?Are long-form podcasts dying?Does consistency matter more than quality?If your podcast isn’t growing, is it your fault?

Using Copyrighted Music or TV/Radio Clips in Your Podcast

Can you legally use music, TV clips, or radio audio in your podcast, or is it a fast track to takedowns and trouble? In this episode, we unpack how copyright actually works for podcasters. What fair use really means, why it is a legal defence rather than permission, and where creators most often get caught out. We look at the practical risks, including automated copyright detection, platform removals, and takedown requests from rights holders. A quick note before you listen: we are not lawyers. This episode is based on our experience and understanding of how copyright is applied in practice, not legal advice. If you plan to rely on a fair use defence, you should understand the risks involved and make that call deliberately. Our conversation also widens into modern podcasting workflows. We discuss why video podcasts still need to work as audio-first shows, how many “video listeners” are actually listening in the background, and how relying on visuals can quietly break the experience for most of your audience.

How to Sell Audio-First Podcasts to Potential Sponsors in 2026

On last week's episode of Podcraft, we agreed that sponsorship was broadly overrated for the average indie creator. But... that doesn't mean it isn't the right fit for you. Maybe you podcast within a specialist hobby, professional field, or enthusiast community. In many niches, sponsorship fits naturally because you're talking about certain tools, products, or services anyway. Getting paid for those endorsements can help support your work without any disruption to your content. It's only a matter of reaching out and asking. But that's the tricky part. Does the person you speak to understand the power of audio? And do they want to make a split-second decision based on comparing your download numbers to the social media metrics of your average "influencer"? On this quick episode of Podcraft, I run through what I learned after creating a 2026-proof media kit for my own hobby podcast. If you're even considering sponsorship, I think you'll get a lot from it... Podcraft is brought to you by Alitu and The Podcast Host
