Ask the Podcast Coach Dave Jackson

Today we talk about some of the changes at Spotify (the good and the bad). Some audio quality comparisons and some new tools aimed at podcasters (and one that isn't but could be a great feedback tool).

I heard a podcaster talking about different "Classes" of podcasters (think upper and lower class). He mentioned "Elites" and it made me sad.
Likewise, there was an article about podcasting not having hits lately and it made me scratch my head.

Video Version

Dave and Jim are back after a week off!.
We tweaked some things with the show. We've done away with the "shout out" section as it was getting a bit long. The definition of a Patron is "a person who gives financial or other support to a person, organization, cause, or activity" and the result of that patronage is you allow the artist (podcaster) to continue to do their art.
