    What’s a Podcast Anymore?

    This fundamental question that has been challenged and even abused: what is a podcast anymore? There's plenty of misinformation and disinformation out there about what a podcast is. My efforts to help set the definition straight may be fruitless, but there's more to consider here than only the meaning of the word. This is my 400th episode of The Audacity to Podcast, to to commemorate this milestone, I want to jump back to this fundamental question because how we answer it will affect the future of our content and even of the whole podcasting industry. Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/definition The definition of a "podcast" https://whatsapodcast.com Other attempted definitions of a "podcast" What's wrong with redefining what a "podcast" is? True podcast distribution and consumption are unique Strict definition versus usage description Is the definition a "gatekeeper"? Should you really call your content a "podcast"?

    How Long Should Your Episode Opening Be?

    What is the first thing your audience hears when they play your latest episode? Are you providing value in your opening, or just keeping your audience from what they came to hear? Although the terms "intro"/"introduction" and "opening" are often used interchangeably, I'm going to be more specific to call the "opening" everything your audience hears before your episode's unique content.
