A Fresh Look at the Podcasting Industry - What to Expect - In & Around Podcasting
We love podcast industry podcasts - there are a lot of them and they're run by smart, passionate people who live and breathe podcasting and who are usually industry professionals.
Sometimes though, they don't give the day-to-day enthusiast, creator or indie podcaster a platform to have their say, often taking "the view from the top" as delivered by the "podcasting professionals".
In & Around Podcasting has been designed to respect and live alongside those shows and to be an accessible, inclusive podcast for every single podcaster; a show that allows everyone with an interest in the medium to have a fair, open and transparent view on the podcasting industry and how it affects them - this is your place to be heard.
The podcasting industry belongs to us all, not just the elite and it doesn't matter how long you've been in the industry, your voice is valuable.
In & Around Podcasting is a podcast industry podcast brought to you by Mark Asquith and Danny Brown.
If you're an independent creator who would like to co-host with us, please let us know via Twitter (https://twitter.com/inaroundpodcast) and we'll get you booked!
Please tell your friends that the show is available on Spotify (https://inandaroundpodcasting.com/spotify), (https://inandaroundpodcasting.com/apple) and YouTube (https://inandaroundpodcasting.com/youtube), plus wherever else they may listen to their podcasts.

Podcast Industry Perspective
I got into podcasting a decade ago. Since then, I've seen it change from a fledging industry with little revenue flowing through it and flourish into a genuine media industry with billions in ad revenue available every year, the teething problems of a measurement industry, and the "boom" of 2019-2021 (ish).
There are people who have been in this game longer than me, and we've all seen the industry change. I've spoken about podcasting becoming a genuine "industry" many, many times but right now, we're at an inflection point in the journey of podcasting and there are two ways to approach it mentally: we embrace it and do our bit to innovate, or we shout loudly that "it's not what it was, so can't be good" and let the industry pass us by.
Which will you choose?

Common Podcast Faux Pas with The Podcast Consultant
You know me, I don't sugarcoat when I feel that something isn't as good as it could be. And, with the world of podcasting growing and, in particular, the choices that consumers have about the myriad shows they can listen to, it's never been more important for your show to "get things right".
But what is "right"?
Surely that's subjective?
Yes, of course, it is - but there's little doubt that best practices now exist in podcasting and that there are objective changes that you can make to your show that will increase the allure, the stickiness, and the long-term shareability of your podcast and that don't take much to implement.
Join me and the wonderfully talented Mathew Passy, a long-time friend, and talented podcasting consultant, as we discuss the changes that you can make based on Mathew's years auditing podcasts across the globe.

Customer Reviews
Recommended listening
If you’re putting together a podcast (like myself), I recommend that you check out this show. It has some really helpful information.
The Key to Success
Podcasting successfully is hard. There are a lot of steps and a lot of moving parts and a lot of things to know, not to mention whatever personal hurdles you may have. Mark breaks it all down and encourages you to do it. He makes it easy to understand without being condescending, and he sells a great product while genuinely having your best interest at heart.
The advice you get from this show and from the newsletter and blog are actually useful and cover the whole spectrum of what it means to be a podcaster.
I love seeing a new episode on my feed in the morning because I know that it’s going to be the shot I need to get motivated to work on my podcast. And it pairs great with an egg and cheese sandwich and a coffee.
I use Captivate for my show and will be adding more as my network grows. If you want to get serious about your podcast, I highly recommend doing the same.
Podcasting Mini Morsels
I have been a podcaster for about six months. I found The Podcast Accelerator around the fourth month into my journey. I love, love, love each episode and the gold nuggets I take away from each one. Mark is fun, fast paced and dynamic. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who really wants to rock their podcast journey. Thanks Mark for shining your light and love for podcasting the way you do.🚀👍🏼😎
