How Do You Consume Podcasts – PCI 481
How Do You Consume Podcasts?
Podcast consumption looks different for everyone—and it continues to change as audio, video and short-form content become more connected.
In this episode of Podcast Insider, Mike Dell, Dave Clements and MacKenzie Bennett share how they discover and consume podcasts. MacKenzie primarily listens through Apple Podcasts but often discovers new shows through social media. Dave has shifted from traditional podcast apps toward YouTube and audiobooks, while Mike maintains organized podcast playlists but also consumes much of his long-form content through YouTube.
The conversation explores how video can help podcasters become more discoverable, even when their audience ultimately prefers to listen. The team also discusses the value of short promotional clips, simple video workflows and experimenting with different formats without turning podcast production into a full-time job.
In This Episode
- How podcast listening habits change over time
- Why social media is becoming an important podcast discovery tool
- The difference between how people discover and consume content
- Why YouTube is increasingly part of the podcast ecosystem
- Whether podcasters should create audio, video or both
- Simple ways to create promotional video content
- Why consistency and quality may matter more than publishing frequently
- How podcasters can test new formats based on audience behavior
One key takeaway: podcasters should think like consumers. Experiment with audio, video and short-form content, pay attention to how your audience responds and focus your effort on the formats that work best for your show.
How do you consume podcasts? Do you listen through a podcast app, watch on YouTube or discover shows through TikTok, Instagram or another platform? Let us know.

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:07.700
- Welcome back to Podcast Insider.
2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.359
- I'm Mike Dell here at Blueberry, and, with
3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:12.980
- me as Dave and Mackenzie.
4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:14.320
- There you go. Dave,
5
00:00:15.164 --> 00:00:16.844
- tell them who you are. They probably forgot
6
00:00:16.844 --> 00:00:18.445
- since the last time they did one of
7
00:00:18.445 --> 00:00:18.945
- these.
8
00:00:19.725 --> 00:00:21.644
- Actually, if they've been watching YouTube, they see
9
00:00:21.644 --> 00:00:23.404
- me almost every week when I get a
10
00:00:23.404 --> 00:00:26.545
- video out. Yeah. I'm Dave Clements. I am,
11
00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:29.085
- one of the support team members, and I
12
00:00:29.085 --> 00:00:29.824
- am making
13
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:31.579
- video content
14
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.679
- for our YouTube channel. So go check that
15
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.179
- out too. Alright. And, Mackenzie,
16
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.340
- reintroduce
17
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.039
- yourself. I'm sure everybody knows us, but let's
18
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.799
- let's do this just in case we get
19
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:44.700
- some new people.
20
00:00:45.094 --> 00:00:46.615
- I hope there's some people who don't know
21
00:00:46.615 --> 00:00:48.954
- me at this point listening to this podcast.
22
00:00:49.575 --> 00:00:51.734
- Mackenzie Bennett. I am director of marketing here
23
00:00:51.734 --> 00:00:52.695
- at Blueberry and,
24
00:00:53.895 --> 00:00:56.454
- cohost for Podcast Insider for many years now.
25
00:00:56.454 --> 00:00:59.690
- So, hopefully, we get some new listeners. Yeah.
26
00:00:59.690 --> 00:01:01.390
- We as you guys know,
27
00:01:01.929 --> 00:01:03.850
- that have been with us all along, we
28
00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:05.150
- took a bit of a hiatus.
29
00:01:06.329 --> 00:01:08.890
- We're revamping the show a little bit and,
30
00:01:09.290 --> 00:01:10.189
- being less,
31
00:01:11.715 --> 00:01:14.994
- techy, geeky, and preachy and, just having a
32
00:01:14.994 --> 00:01:15.494
- conversation.
33
00:01:15.875 --> 00:01:17.875
- And, Dave came up with a really good
34
00:01:17.875 --> 00:01:19.474
- topic for this episode,
35
00:01:20.834 --> 00:01:22.215
- that, you know,
36
00:01:22.674 --> 00:01:25.340
- for a pod caster, this is also kinda
37
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:27.579
- good things to know about your audience. So
38
00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.659
- if you can figure it out what they're
39
00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:30.159
- doing,
40
00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:34.299
- you can, adapt what you're doing to, what
41
00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:36.859
- works for them. So we're gonna be talking
42
00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:37.359
- about
43
00:01:38.534 --> 00:01:41.575
- how we consume podcasts. And I and I
44
00:01:41.575 --> 00:01:44.694
- hesitate to to say the word listen because
45
00:01:44.694 --> 00:01:47.415
- there's more to podcasting these days than just
46
00:01:47.415 --> 00:01:47.915
- listening.
47
00:01:48.454 --> 00:01:50.075
- It's much to my chagrin,
48
00:01:50.614 --> 00:01:51.114
- but
49
00:01:51.734 --> 00:01:53.354
- it's okay. You know?
50
00:01:54.010 --> 00:01:54.510
- So
51
00:01:55.049 --> 00:01:56.829
- how do you consume podcast?
52
00:01:57.209 --> 00:01:58.270
- And, I guess,
53
00:01:58.890 --> 00:01:59.390
- Mackenzie,
54
00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:01.390
- I think, probably best
55
00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:03.150
- to start with you.
56
00:02:03.530 --> 00:02:04.030
- Okay.
57
00:02:04.329 --> 00:02:05.049
- Yeah. I
58
00:02:06.194 --> 00:02:08.615
- I've always been a bit of an oddball
59
00:02:08.754 --> 00:02:10.995
- in the blueberry group, I feel like. Yeah.
60
00:02:10.995 --> 00:02:13.074
- Oddball. You can send the sentence there. No.
61
00:02:13.074 --> 00:02:14.594
- I'm kidding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. That's
62
00:02:14.594 --> 00:02:15.094
- perfect.
63
00:02:16.594 --> 00:02:17.655
- Podcast done.
64
00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:22.650
- I I have never been a subscriber,
65
00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:23.610
- so
66
00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:26.150
- I am not subscribed to any podcast out
67
00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:26.650
- there.
68
00:02:27.189 --> 00:02:29.750
- Following some of the other apps? Yeah. Ex
69
00:02:29.909 --> 00:02:30.810
- yeah. Exactly.
70
00:02:31.110 --> 00:02:32.250
- I have never been
71
00:02:34.305 --> 00:02:34.805
- connected
72
00:02:35.264 --> 00:02:38.084
- to a show in that, you know, automated
73
00:02:38.144 --> 00:02:39.764
- way, I guess you could say.
74
00:02:40.384 --> 00:02:41.685
- So I just
75
00:02:43.104 --> 00:02:44.965
- typically would find the show
76
00:02:45.264 --> 00:02:46.405
- on social media
77
00:02:47.025 --> 00:02:47.525
- or,
78
00:02:49.389 --> 00:02:50.770
- I mean, back in the day,
79
00:02:51.469 --> 00:02:54.510
- I listened to like, I I started listening
80
00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:56.290
- to podcasts because of NPR.
81
00:02:56.909 --> 00:02:57.409
- So
82
00:02:57.790 --> 00:02:59.650
- that was just like I was listening,
83
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:01.250
- to their radio
84
00:03:01.914 --> 00:03:03.675
- and they got me on there by talking
85
00:03:03.675 --> 00:03:04.574
- about the shows.
86
00:03:05.034 --> 00:03:05.534
- But
87
00:03:06.155 --> 00:03:07.055
- I am mainly
88
00:03:08.395 --> 00:03:10.474
- and I'd say mainly when I say, like,
89
00:03:10.474 --> 00:03:12.155
- 99.9%
90
00:03:12.155 --> 00:03:14.014
- of the podcasts that I consume,
91
00:03:15.594 --> 00:03:18.469
- are through Apple Podcasts with just the audio.
92
00:03:18.770 --> 00:03:19.270
- But
93
00:03:19.730 --> 00:03:21.990
- I'm finding it through social probably.
94
00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:24.629
- A friend recommended it maybe.
95
00:03:24.930 --> 00:03:26.069
- I heard about it
96
00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:27.590
- on some interview
97
00:03:27.969 --> 00:03:28.469
- somewhere,
98
00:03:30.164 --> 00:03:32.185
- or I found it in the
99
00:03:32.645 --> 00:03:33.145
- directory,
100
00:03:33.604 --> 00:03:34.745
- like, through Apple.
101
00:03:36.564 --> 00:03:37.444
- Through, like, the
102
00:03:38.084 --> 00:03:40.724
- you know, their algorithms have gotten better or
103
00:03:40.724 --> 00:03:41.224
- worse,
104
00:03:41.525 --> 00:03:42.344
- whatever you
105
00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.050
- whatever you think depending on how yours shows
106
00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:47.050
- up. But, you know, it's I think it's
107
00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.469
- definitely done both over the years, especially with
108
00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:50.590
- AI
109
00:03:51.050 --> 00:03:52.990
- taking over every algorithm nowadays.
110
00:03:54.010 --> 00:03:54.510
- So
111
00:03:54.810 --> 00:03:55.310
- generally,
112
00:03:56.134 --> 00:03:57.034
- that's how I listen
113
00:03:57.734 --> 00:03:59.495
- to podcasts. And I say listen because that
114
00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:00.775
- is the majority of the way that I
115
00:04:00.775 --> 00:04:02.614
- consume them. Do do you listen to a
116
00:04:02.614 --> 00:04:03.594
- lot of podcasts?
117
00:04:04.614 --> 00:04:06.234
- So I go through binging.
118
00:04:07.414 --> 00:04:10.020
- During the summer when I'm maybe in the
119
00:04:10.020 --> 00:04:10.840
- car more,
120
00:04:11.540 --> 00:04:13.319
- going on trips and whatnot,
121
00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:15.080
- yes. For sure.
122
00:04:16.580 --> 00:04:19.139
- I'd say spring and fall, not so much.
123
00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:20.519
- And then winter again,
124
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.699
- maybe with some holidays or just like being
125
00:04:23.699 --> 00:04:24.600
- cooped up,
126
00:04:25.495 --> 00:04:26.235
- I will,
127
00:04:26.615 --> 00:04:28.314
- but I'll listen to them,
128
00:04:31.495 --> 00:04:33.254
- like once or twice a week at this
129
00:04:33.254 --> 00:04:33.754
- point,
130
00:04:34.294 --> 00:04:36.394
- for like random episodes. I'm not
131
00:04:37.349 --> 00:04:39.990
- solely invested in, like, a handful of shows
132
00:04:39.990 --> 00:04:41.829
- at the moment. I just there's so much
133
00:04:41.829 --> 00:04:42.329
- content.
134
00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:45.849
- Yes. There's a lot of content and,
135
00:04:46.310 --> 00:04:49.189
- you know, finding new stuff. You know? Like,
136
00:04:49.189 --> 00:04:51.129
- I'll I'll go in spurts, you know, just
137
00:04:51.634 --> 00:04:53.475
- where I'll listen to a lot of new
138
00:04:53.475 --> 00:04:55.555
- podcasts, and then I don't listen to very
139
00:04:55.555 --> 00:04:57.314
- many at all. And, you know, I have
140
00:04:57.314 --> 00:04:59.415
- my core bunch. But Mhmm.
141
00:05:00.115 --> 00:05:01.975
- So but, yeah, that makes sense.
142
00:05:02.514 --> 00:05:05.490
- And that's kinda you know, we get these
143
00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:08.529
- tech, you know, tech support calls and and
144
00:05:08.529 --> 00:05:10.370
- emails and what, you know, how come my,
145
00:05:10.770 --> 00:05:13.490
- listenership's down this month or up this month
146
00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:15.350
- or, you know, we get both questions.
147
00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:17.990
- And a lot of that is cyclic.
148
00:05:18.314 --> 00:05:18.975
- You know, your
149
00:05:19.595 --> 00:05:20.495
- core audience,
150
00:05:22.314 --> 00:05:23.915
- you know, maybe they got better things to
151
00:05:23.915 --> 00:05:25.915
- do. You know, like, the beginning of summer
152
00:05:25.915 --> 00:05:26.814
- is always,
153
00:05:27.754 --> 00:05:30.095
- you know, at least in the Northern Hemisphere,
154
00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.800
- beginning of summer is always a slow period,
155
00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:36.100
- you know, both in, you know, our support
156
00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:36.539
- calls,
157
00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:39.959
- podcast listening in general, new show startups,
158
00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:41.319
- all that stuff
159
00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:44.600
- kinda takes a break in June and July
160
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:46.875
- and then starts to roll back
161
00:05:47.415 --> 00:05:49.915
- in, you know, octo or August, September,
162
00:05:51.014 --> 00:05:52.615
- October for sure. But,
163
00:05:53.894 --> 00:05:55.035
- anyway so,
164
00:05:55.574 --> 00:05:57.435
- Dave, how how do you consume
165
00:05:57.814 --> 00:05:58.314
- podcasts?
166
00:06:01.149 --> 00:06:03.389
- You know, my my listening has changed a
167
00:06:03.389 --> 00:06:03.889
- lot.
168
00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:04.910
- I've
169
00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:08.290
- I know I've been listening to podcasts for
170
00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:10.509
- a long time. Like, I've been doing this
171
00:06:10.509 --> 00:06:12.509
- for almost fifteen years, but I've been listening
172
00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:14.029
- for at least a couple years longer than
173
00:06:14.029 --> 00:06:14.504
- that.
174
00:06:14.985 --> 00:06:15.485
- And
175
00:06:16.425 --> 00:06:16.925
- I
176
00:06:17.944 --> 00:06:18.764
- used to,
177
00:06:19.944 --> 00:06:22.345
- like, if I was on, at the time,
178
00:06:22.345 --> 00:06:24.185
- Twitter and somebody was like, yeah. I got
179
00:06:24.185 --> 00:06:25.485
- a podcast. Immediately,
180
00:06:25.865 --> 00:06:29.110
- subscribe, listen to whatever episodes were out. Again,
181
00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:31.189
- kinda like Mackenzie, like, I would binge, except
182
00:06:31.189 --> 00:06:32.949
- I would stay subscribed because it was like,
183
00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:35.269
- oh, I gotta get the next one. So
184
00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:37.289
- at some point, I probably had,
185
00:06:38.229 --> 00:06:40.970
- I don't know, like, a 100 different shows
186
00:06:42.125 --> 00:06:44.444
- that I was subscribed to. And then I
187
00:06:44.444 --> 00:06:46.925
- couldn't keep up, so I deleted everything. And
188
00:06:46.925 --> 00:06:48.925
- then I go back and find new shows
189
00:06:48.925 --> 00:06:51.185
- or find the same old shows again.
190
00:06:52.524 --> 00:06:53.024
- Primarily,
191
00:06:54.710 --> 00:06:55.530
- I was
192
00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:56.569
- using,
193
00:06:59.590 --> 00:07:02.069
- I've totally forgot what it's called. Oh, Podcast
194
00:07:02.069 --> 00:07:02.569
- Addict.
195
00:07:03.030 --> 00:07:04.710
- Yep. And then when I went all in
196
00:07:04.710 --> 00:07:05.370
- on Apple,
197
00:07:06.150 --> 00:07:07.910
- I did not use the Apple Podcasts app.
198
00:07:07.910 --> 00:07:08.970
- I use Overcast.
199
00:07:09.615 --> 00:07:10.115
- Mhmm.
200
00:07:11.615 --> 00:07:14.095
- And now, I'm kind of in this weird
201
00:07:14.254 --> 00:07:16.495
- and this is where I can definitely connect
202
00:07:16.495 --> 00:07:16.995
- with
203
00:07:17.375 --> 00:07:20.254
- the overall industry vibe of going more toward
204
00:07:20.254 --> 00:07:24.115
- video. I tend to listen to stuff more
205
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:25.959
- on YouTube,
206
00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:27.639
- which
207
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.240
- feels very,
208
00:07:32.899 --> 00:07:33.399
- blasphemous,
209
00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:34.759
- because,
210
00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:37.879
- you know, I've always been an audio podcast
211
00:07:38.504 --> 00:07:39.004
- guy.
212
00:07:39.705 --> 00:07:41.305
- But a lot of the content I consume
213
00:07:41.305 --> 00:07:43.545
- is on YouTube. And, like, literally before we
214
00:07:43.545 --> 00:07:44.444
- started recording,
215
00:07:44.745 --> 00:07:47.384
- I was working on some stuff. And I
216
00:07:47.384 --> 00:07:50.425
- had a YouTube video playing on my phone,
217
00:07:50.425 --> 00:07:52.264
- and I was just listening to it Right.
218
00:07:52.425 --> 00:07:53.645
- While doing my work.
219
00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:57.110
- So that's shifted a lot for me.
220
00:07:57.490 --> 00:07:58.710
- And I will say
221
00:07:59.170 --> 00:07:59.670
- that
222
00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:03.089
- I don't listen to near as many shows
223
00:08:03.089 --> 00:08:05.330
- as I used to. And Mhmm. Now those
224
00:08:05.330 --> 00:08:08.550
- have almost been replaced with audiobooks or YouTube.
225
00:08:09.904 --> 00:08:12.225
- There are some shows that I still am
226
00:08:12.225 --> 00:08:14.384
- subscribed to that I'll listen to every once
227
00:08:14.384 --> 00:08:16.545
- in a while. So I'm kind of in
228
00:08:16.545 --> 00:08:19.185
- a dip era right now as far as
229
00:08:19.185 --> 00:08:21.585
- my audio or as far as my podcast
230
00:08:21.585 --> 00:08:23.525
- consumption goes in general.
231
00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:27.110
- I I've really gotten into almost
232
00:08:28.050 --> 00:08:30.850
- making the video essays that I love to
233
00:08:30.850 --> 00:08:33.410
- watch, turning those into podcast because I have
234
00:08:33.410 --> 00:08:35.649
- YouTube premium. So I can just shut my
235
00:08:35.649 --> 00:08:37.029
- phone screen off
236
00:08:37.410 --> 00:08:38.790
- and just listen to them.
237
00:08:39.524 --> 00:08:42.164
- Sure. And, yeah. Like well, with me, I
238
00:08:42.164 --> 00:08:44.324
- don't know. I started way back in the
239
00:08:44.324 --> 00:08:45.444
- day, and that's,
240
00:08:46.164 --> 00:08:46.824
- you know
241
00:08:47.125 --> 00:08:50.084
- you know, before there were phone apps and
242
00:08:50.084 --> 00:08:52.804
- all that, I had the iPod and the
243
00:08:52.804 --> 00:08:53.304
- iPodder
244
00:08:54.889 --> 00:08:57.230
- app and synced it with iTunes,
245
00:08:57.690 --> 00:08:59.710
- which is, no longer a thing.
246
00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:01.230
- Yep.
247
00:09:02.330 --> 00:09:04.190
- And, you know, so I've always
248
00:09:04.809 --> 00:09:05.309
- subscribed
249
00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:06.669
- and downloaded
250
00:09:07.850 --> 00:09:09.470
- things that I listen to,
251
00:09:10.225 --> 00:09:11.044
- But I've
252
00:09:11.424 --> 00:09:13.345
- evolved too, you know. And when you get
253
00:09:13.345 --> 00:09:14.945
- to the phone, you know, for a while,
254
00:09:14.945 --> 00:09:16.325
- I used Apple Podcasts.
255
00:09:17.105 --> 00:09:19.264
- I've tried a whole bunch of them. I
256
00:09:19.264 --> 00:09:21.424
- mean, I probably got eight apps on my
257
00:09:21.424 --> 00:09:24.040
- phone still, you know. And I have certain
258
00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:26.279
- shows I listen to on certain apps just
259
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:26.779
- because
260
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.379
- they're kinda
261
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:31.800
- you know, like, podcasting two point o, is
262
00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:34.680
- a show that Adam Curry and Dave Jones
263
00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:35.180
- does.
264
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.940
- And they go live,
265
00:09:37.674 --> 00:09:39.754
- and so I listen to them on an
266
00:09:39.754 --> 00:09:41.934
- app that picks up the live
267
00:09:42.795 --> 00:09:43.934
- so I can listen
268
00:09:44.475 --> 00:09:44.975
- live,
269
00:09:45.514 --> 00:09:47.195
- when they can when they come on on
270
00:09:47.195 --> 00:09:48.174
- Friday afternoons.
271
00:09:49.035 --> 00:09:49.195
- And
272
00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:53.179
- but for my day to day, I'm I
273
00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:56.059
- I just counted it up. I've got 27
274
00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:58.559
- shows that I'm following and or,
275
00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:02.320
- subscribed to on Pocket Casts.
276
00:10:04.274 --> 00:10:06.615
- I like to playlist my shows.
277
00:10:07.714 --> 00:10:10.115
- So, you know, I I subscribe to a
278
00:10:10.115 --> 00:10:10.615
- bunch
279
00:10:11.154 --> 00:10:13.815
- of aviation related shows, a bunch
280
00:10:14.355 --> 00:10:16.934
- of podcast related shows for work,
281
00:10:17.954 --> 00:10:18.694
- some other,
282
00:10:19.389 --> 00:10:21.709
- you know, like daily I have some dailies,
283
00:10:21.709 --> 00:10:23.809
- you know, a couple of new shows that
284
00:10:23.870 --> 00:10:25.490
- that put out daily episodes.
285
00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:28.750
- You know, and then I have just a
286
00:10:28.750 --> 00:10:30.610
- a gee whiz fun playlist.
287
00:10:31.245 --> 00:10:33.325
- So if I feel like listening about airplanes,
288
00:10:33.325 --> 00:10:35.565
- I start that playlist. If I feel like
289
00:10:35.565 --> 00:10:38.065
- listening to podcasts about podcasting,
290
00:10:39.004 --> 00:10:40.304
- I listen to that playlist.
291
00:10:42.125 --> 00:10:44.764
- But, yeah, I've I've pretty much completely switched
292
00:10:44.764 --> 00:10:46.065
- over to Pocket Cast
293
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.779
- for my daily driver.
294
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.799
- But I too have been sucked into the
295
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:51.299
- YouTube
296
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.259
- ecosystem.
297
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.139
- My main television
298
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:57.059
- is YouTube.
299
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:57.940
- I
300
00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.379
- rarely watch
301
00:11:00.424 --> 00:11:03.144
- any other thing on my big screen TV.
302
00:11:03.144 --> 00:11:05.804
- It's, you know yes. I've I've
303
00:11:06.184 --> 00:11:08.664
- subscribed to Paramount because I'm a Star Trek
304
00:11:08.664 --> 00:11:11.144
- person. You look above me over here, there's
305
00:11:11.144 --> 00:11:12.044
- a an enterprise
306
00:11:12.424 --> 00:11:12.924
- poster.
307
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.120
- And then I'm also, we have Netflix because
308
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.879
- my wife likes Netflix, and, I'm kinda stuck
309
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.500
- on the blacklist here lately
310
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.779
- on Netflix.
311
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.320
- But, for the most part, you know, we
312
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.500
- have an antenna for regular television.
313
00:11:31.654 --> 00:11:34.855
- Everything I watch myself is pretty much YouTube.
314
00:11:34.855 --> 00:11:36.235
- And I too now
315
00:11:36.695 --> 00:11:38.774
- do what you do, Dave, is I'll start
316
00:11:38.774 --> 00:11:39.835
- a YouTube video,
317
00:11:40.695 --> 00:11:43.754
- silence the phone, and listen on my earbuds
318
00:11:43.894 --> 00:11:45.514
- or walking around or
319
00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:47.450
- driving or whatever.
320
00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:49.850
- I went to Dallas
321
00:11:50.549 --> 00:11:52.409
- a while back for a conference.
322
00:11:53.509 --> 00:11:55.049
- And on the way down,
323
00:11:56.309 --> 00:11:58.070
- it was the first time because I always
324
00:11:58.070 --> 00:11:59.669
- used to say, oh, you can't jump on
325
00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:01.884
- a airplane and watch YouTube. Yep. I I
326
00:12:01.884 --> 00:12:04.384
- watch YouTube the whole way, both directions.
327
00:12:05.324 --> 00:12:08.464
- You know? Starlink on the airplane was just
328
00:12:09.324 --> 00:12:11.504
- flawless and worked worked great.
329
00:12:12.125 --> 00:12:15.345
- So can't say that no more. But Yeah.
330
00:12:16.049 --> 00:12:17.750
- Yeah. I think that it shows
331
00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:20.309
- a a big shift.
332
00:12:20.929 --> 00:12:23.570
- You know, a couple years ago, I remember
333
00:12:23.570 --> 00:12:26.529
- when, like, the, you know, video podcasting, quote,
334
00:12:26.529 --> 00:12:27.029
- unquote,
335
00:12:29.105 --> 00:12:31.504
- when that conversation kind of started now video
336
00:12:31.504 --> 00:12:34.545
- podcasting's, like, almost always been a thing. It's
337
00:12:34.545 --> 00:12:36.785
- just now we have the Internet speeds and
338
00:12:36.785 --> 00:12:38.884
- the technology to keep up with it,
339
00:12:39.425 --> 00:12:41.445
- to be able to take your phone
340
00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:43.360
- and, you know, walk outside
341
00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:45.740
- and put it around the yard while having
342
00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.679
- a YouTube video play in the background.
343
00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.580
- Now you have to pay them to do
344
00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:54.480
- that. That's that's the one disadvantage of YouTube.
345
00:12:55.225 --> 00:12:57.384
- That's that's true unless you wanna, you know,
346
00:12:57.384 --> 00:12:59.945
- fry your phone and just Yeah. Leave your
347
00:12:59.945 --> 00:13:02.345
- screen. On the whole time. Yeah. But then
348
00:13:02.345 --> 00:13:04.424
- you also have to keep touching it, right,
349
00:13:04.424 --> 00:13:06.125
- to make sure it doesn't black out?
350
00:13:06.825 --> 00:13:08.745
- No. You can I mean, the YouTube will
351
00:13:08.745 --> 00:13:11.360
- hold hold it open? Yeah. Yeah. It depends
352
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.919
- on how you set things on your phone.
353
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.419
- But,
354
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.879
- you know, like, I remember just it was
355
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.120
- literally just a couple of years ago where
356
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.379
- that was the conversation is like,
357
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.534
- oh, you like, video podcasting. That's this big
358
00:13:25.534 --> 00:13:27.075
- thing. And I just remember
359
00:13:27.615 --> 00:13:29.454
- going, I don't understand that. I don't know
360
00:13:29.454 --> 00:13:31.154
- why anybody would want to
361
00:13:32.334 --> 00:13:34.334
- make a video podcast because video is a
362
00:13:34.334 --> 00:13:35.954
- lot of work. And then,
363
00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:38.050
- you know, I don't know. I just I'm
364
00:13:38.050 --> 00:13:40.210
- gonna listen to you anyway. And now I'm
365
00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:42.629
- sitting here doing that exact same thing,
366
00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:45.809
- and it just kind of came naturally because
367
00:13:45.809 --> 00:13:48.389
- I watch a lot of YouTube. So, well,
368
00:13:48.929 --> 00:13:50.769
- I got something to do. So phone goes
369
00:13:50.769 --> 00:13:52.495
- in the pocket, and I go and I
370
00:13:52.495 --> 00:13:54.975
- do something else. Sometimes I have earbuds. Sometimes
371
00:13:54.975 --> 00:13:56.355
- it's just playing from my phone.
372
00:13:56.735 --> 00:13:57.235
- Mhmm.
373
00:13:58.095 --> 00:14:00.514
- And I don't know. It's just it's interesting
374
00:14:00.735 --> 00:14:01.235
- to
375
00:14:02.894 --> 00:14:03.375
- see where
376
00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:05.660
- you know, we, as people who are in
377
00:14:05.660 --> 00:14:07.440
- the industry, may resist
378
00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:10.399
- some of these trends and just be like,
379
00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:12.480
- And, you know, video podcasting
380
00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:14.639
- may not ever be
381
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.000
- super popular,
382
00:14:16.684 --> 00:14:18.865
- but it's something that we can't really ignore.
383
00:14:19.084 --> 00:14:19.824
- No. And
384
00:14:20.204 --> 00:14:22.204
- it's kind of nice to feel like, hey,
385
00:14:22.204 --> 00:14:24.784
- you know what? I have embraced this, but
386
00:14:25.164 --> 00:14:26.784
- now I have an opinion
387
00:14:27.164 --> 00:14:29.565
- on it. Whereas a couple years ago, I
388
00:14:29.565 --> 00:14:30.865
- didn't. And I was pretty
389
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.740
- I was pretty
390
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.420
- down on video podcasting. I remember telling people,
391
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.179
- nah, don't do video.
392
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.379
- My my thought has changed on that
393
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.899
- where I just go,
394
00:14:44.934 --> 00:14:47.014
- audio is easier to get into. So that
395
00:14:47.014 --> 00:14:49.095
- will always be the number one thing I
396
00:14:49.095 --> 00:14:51.174
- recommend. If you wanna play around, if you
397
00:14:51.174 --> 00:14:53.834
- want to figure out if making a podcast
398
00:14:54.615 --> 00:14:57.589
- is your thing, start with audio. It's so
399
00:14:57.589 --> 00:15:00.870
- much less overhead. It's a lot less work
400
00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:01.370
- too.
401
00:15:01.909 --> 00:15:04.070
- But if you have the resources and you
402
00:15:04.070 --> 00:15:05.049
- have the time,
403
00:15:05.909 --> 00:15:08.230
- make a video podcast. But just make sure
404
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:10.730
- that you're doing it well because then
405
00:15:11.045 --> 00:15:13.524
- people will want to watch it. Yeah. But
406
00:15:13.524 --> 00:15:14.884
- they may not watch it. Like, there are
407
00:15:14.884 --> 00:15:17.764
- statistics in the most recent video as of
408
00:15:17.764 --> 00:15:18.585
- this recording
409
00:15:18.965 --> 00:15:19.945
- that I posted
410
00:15:20.245 --> 00:15:21.545
- to our YouTube channel.
411
00:15:22.884 --> 00:15:24.105
- I think it was like
412
00:15:24.649 --> 00:15:26.750
- like, YouTube kind of was leading,
413
00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:28.350
- versus
414
00:15:28.730 --> 00:15:30.110
- Apple and Spotify
415
00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:31.070
- in
416
00:15:31.450 --> 00:15:31.950
- listenership.
417
00:15:32.410 --> 00:15:34.509
- So I thought that was really, really interesting,
418
00:15:34.730 --> 00:15:37.129
- and I'll be I'll be interested to watch
419
00:15:37.129 --> 00:15:39.105
- it as, you know, the next couple of
420
00:15:39.105 --> 00:15:40.084
- years come and go
421
00:15:40.784 --> 00:15:41.924
- as more
422
00:15:42.384 --> 00:15:42.884
- video
423
00:15:43.264 --> 00:15:46.464
- adoption comes because we've got, you know, HLS
424
00:15:46.464 --> 00:15:47.764
- coming with Apple Podcasts.
425
00:15:48.784 --> 00:15:50.144
- Spotify has podcast
426
00:15:50.625 --> 00:15:51.524
- video podcasts,
427
00:15:51.985 --> 00:15:52.485
- and
428
00:15:52.910 --> 00:15:54.830
- rumor has it they're gonna open that up
429
00:15:54.830 --> 00:15:55.730
- at some point.
430
00:15:56.190 --> 00:15:56.690
- So,
431
00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:00.529
- yeah, it's been interesting to watch and
432
00:16:01.070 --> 00:16:03.149
- actually have an opinion on it. Yeah. There
433
00:16:03.149 --> 00:16:03.889
- is still
434
00:16:04.910 --> 00:16:08.110
- something special about audio, and there'll always be
435
00:16:08.110 --> 00:16:08.610
- audio.
436
00:16:08.964 --> 00:16:10.884
- Oh, yeah. And and, you know, I I
437
00:16:10.884 --> 00:16:14.164
- look at the TV industry. Okay. Radio came
438
00:16:14.164 --> 00:16:15.544
- first, then TV,
439
00:16:16.565 --> 00:16:17.705
- but there's still radio.
440
00:16:18.245 --> 00:16:21.065
- And it's still you know, now the radio
441
00:16:21.125 --> 00:16:23.845
- business isn't doing so hot right lately. But
442
00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:27.740
- but there's always gonna be that. And, you
443
00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:28.960
- know, I I argue
444
00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.560
- a little bit
445
00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:33.340
- that you should still even if you're doing
446
00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:35.180
- video, you should also put it out as
447
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:35.680
- audio
448
00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:36.960
- because,
449
00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:39.725
- you know, like, YouTubers,
450
00:16:40.264 --> 00:16:43.065
- you know, our Vidapod product is because is
451
00:16:43.065 --> 00:16:44.605
- pretty popular with YouTubers
452
00:16:45.465 --> 00:16:47.384
- that say, hey. You know, if we're just
453
00:16:47.384 --> 00:16:48.285
- doing a YouTube
454
00:16:48.825 --> 00:16:49.325
- channel,
455
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:51.579
- I'm just on YouTube.
456
00:16:51.959 --> 00:16:53.339
- It doesn't go anywhere.
457
00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:57.240
- At least with the audio side of it.
458
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.720
- You know, now not all YouTube videos lend
459
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.860
- themselves to
460
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.539
- audio,
461
00:17:03.195 --> 00:17:05.835
- But the ones that do can really, you
462
00:17:05.835 --> 00:17:08.634
- know, gain some audience for both for their
463
00:17:08.634 --> 00:17:10.955
- YouTube channel and just people that aren't gonna
464
00:17:10.955 --> 00:17:11.775
- watch YouTube.
465
00:17:12.474 --> 00:17:14.795
- Yep. You know? And so it's it's an
466
00:17:14.795 --> 00:17:17.214
- advantage to be as everywhere as you can.
467
00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:20.259
- You know? And then I know I I
468
00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:22.899
- don't wanna sound like we're YouTube fanboys and
469
00:17:22.899 --> 00:17:24.019
- girls here. But,
470
00:17:24.659 --> 00:17:27.380
- Oh, I am not. You know? And I
471
00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:29.299
- was just getting ready to to say something.
472
00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:32.440
- Like, I talked to you recently, Mackenzie, about
473
00:17:33.065 --> 00:17:34.984
- some video that I was like, oh, you
474
00:17:34.984 --> 00:17:36.585
- might be interested in watching this, and you're
475
00:17:36.585 --> 00:17:37.325
- just like,
476
00:17:37.704 --> 00:17:39.644
- that is not my thing. I'm sorry.
477
00:17:40.424 --> 00:17:41.484
- And I'm like, okay.
478
00:17:42.825 --> 00:17:46.109
- Which I find fascinating because, like so age
479
00:17:46.109 --> 00:17:47.950
- age wise, like, there is a few years
480
00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:50.829
- difference Yeah. In in in us. We we're
481
00:17:50.829 --> 00:17:51.730
- the same generation,
482
00:17:52.029 --> 00:17:54.450
- but different ends of that generation.
483
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:58.029
- Yeah. So it's interesting to see how you
484
00:17:58.029 --> 00:17:58.529
- consume
485
00:17:59.095 --> 00:18:01.894
- content versus the way I do. Yeah. I
486
00:18:01.894 --> 00:18:03.495
- mean, the entire time, like, when you were
487
00:18:03.495 --> 00:18:03.995
- saying,
488
00:18:04.535 --> 00:18:05.195
- it is
489
00:18:06.055 --> 00:18:08.795
- easiest for for content creators to
490
00:18:09.495 --> 00:18:11.735
- do audio at this point. Like, if they're
491
00:18:11.735 --> 00:18:13.575
- gonna start a podcast, it's probably the easiest
492
00:18:13.575 --> 00:18:14.795
- to just do audio,
493
00:18:15.950 --> 00:18:18.369
- which is true. But I feel like it
494
00:18:18.910 --> 00:18:21.650
- might be the opposite for consumers.
495
00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:24.349
- The easiest thing to find right now to
496
00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:25.570
- consume is video.
497
00:18:26.109 --> 00:18:28.609
- Oh, good. That's a great observation.
498
00:18:29.224 --> 00:18:30.365
- Like, it really is.
499
00:18:30.825 --> 00:18:32.424
- I hadn't thought about it that way. And
500
00:18:32.424 --> 00:18:35.724
- that's one of the advantages of a video
501
00:18:36.105 --> 00:18:38.285
- is you are in more places.
502
00:18:39.625 --> 00:18:40.125
- You
503
00:18:40.585 --> 00:18:42.744
- can get found I mean, YouTube's one of
504
00:18:42.744 --> 00:18:46.660
- the big biggest search engines out there. And
505
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.099
- you'll be found there
506
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.460
- if people are looking for your particular content
507
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.599
- that you'll be found there where you may
508
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.160
- not be found on Apple Podcasts. You might
509
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.539
- not be found on Spotify.
510
00:18:58.565 --> 00:19:00.644
- So, you know, I'm always I've always been
511
00:19:00.644 --> 00:19:03.384
- an advocate of being as everywhere as possible.
512
00:19:03.605 --> 00:19:06.164
- Now you can put just plain audio on
513
00:19:06.164 --> 00:19:08.585
- YouTube. We have that integration here at Blueberry.
514
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.279
- I don't find that compelling. It's you know,
515
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.600
- I'm gonna be staring at if I'm looking
516
00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:17.440
- at the screen, I'm gonna be staring at
517
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.660
- your podcast logo
518
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:20.980
- and hearing the audio.
519
00:19:21.600 --> 00:19:24.880
- Yeah. From from a video marketing standpoint too,
520
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.474
- this is something I've
521
00:19:26.954 --> 00:19:30.075
- I've again, watching YouTube. I learned Yeah. That,
522
00:19:30.075 --> 00:19:31.855
- like, the way that people watch
523
00:19:32.154 --> 00:19:34.494
- YouTube is they look at the thumbnail.
524
00:19:34.954 --> 00:19:36.394
- They look at the title. They look at
525
00:19:36.394 --> 00:19:38.654
- the thumbnail again. And if
526
00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:42.220
- if that if the thumbnail is interesting enough
527
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:45.019
- and matches the title well enough, people will
528
00:19:45.019 --> 00:19:47.440
- watch your video. Mhmm. And so
529
00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:50.220
- it's it's interesting because, like, that's a big
530
00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:52.720
- reason that I've always been,
531
00:19:53.315 --> 00:19:55.474
- like, do I really wanna put my audio
532
00:19:55.474 --> 00:19:56.855
- podcast on YouTube?
533
00:19:58.434 --> 00:20:00.275
- Even though I know people are just listening,
534
00:20:00.275 --> 00:20:02.115
- they're not looking at it. It's always been
535
00:20:02.115 --> 00:20:03.315
- one of those things in the back of
536
00:20:03.315 --> 00:20:04.835
- my head. I don't want them to just
537
00:20:04.835 --> 00:20:07.019
- look at my cover art, but I also
538
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.759
- don't wanna have to develop some kind of
539
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:10.519
- video. I don't wanna have to make AI
540
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.740
- video for
541
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.700
- my audio podcast. It just doesn't make sense.
542
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.660
- So,
543
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.640
- yeah. It's
544
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.960
- Interesting. Okay. So you guys are, yeah, you
545
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.424
- guys are definitely YouTube people. I have never
546
00:20:22.424 --> 00:20:24.345
- been and never will be a YouTube person.
547
00:20:24.345 --> 00:20:26.184
- If there is content that is long enough,
548
00:20:26.184 --> 00:20:28.184
- I'm watching it on my TV from a
549
00:20:28.184 --> 00:20:29.244
- production company.
550
00:20:30.265 --> 00:20:30.765
- If
551
00:20:31.865 --> 00:20:32.444
- you know?
552
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.839
- I am, however, a TikTok person because they
553
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.319
- those are short. Mhmm. And I can go
554
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:39.819
- through
555
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.059
- 10 different topics in fifteen minutes. And, unfortunately,
556
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.679
- that is how my brain works. And that
557
00:20:46.679 --> 00:20:49.000
- fifteen minutes will really be three hours of
558
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.404
- Yeah. Exactly.
559
00:20:51.424 --> 00:20:54.225
- So so I'm never gonna watch your podcast
560
00:20:54.225 --> 00:20:56.225
- on YouTube. That's never gonna happen for me.
561
00:20:56.225 --> 00:20:57.265
- However Mhmm.
562
00:20:57.744 --> 00:20:59.765
- I will see the clips
563
00:21:00.945 --> 00:21:04.325
- or someone mention your podcast Mhmm. On TikTok.
564
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:06.650
- Yep. And then I will go listen to
565
00:21:06.650 --> 00:21:09.130
- it on on Apple Podcasts. Mhmm. I will
566
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:12.009
- do that. That is in my, like, in
567
00:21:12.009 --> 00:21:12.509
- my
568
00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:15.289
- way that I consume podcasts. That's how I
569
00:21:15.289 --> 00:21:16.830
- find the show sometimes.
570
00:21:17.210 --> 00:21:19.230
- Right. And if you if you're Discovery.
571
00:21:19.894 --> 00:21:21.894
- Yeah. If it's the discovery for me, like,
572
00:21:21.894 --> 00:21:23.335
- that's how I'm gonna find it.
573
00:21:23.734 --> 00:21:25.575
- I'm never gonna watch it. I'm gonna listen
574
00:21:25.575 --> 00:21:27.815
- to it, but I'm gonna find it probably
575
00:21:27.815 --> 00:21:29.994
- through video at this point. At least,
576
00:21:30.454 --> 00:21:32.855
- you know, partially, whether someone mentions it in
577
00:21:32.855 --> 00:21:33.754
- a comment, whether
578
00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:36.099
- it is a clip from the actual show,
579
00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:38.039
- whether it is the show's actual,
580
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.400
- you know,
581
00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:41.700
- official account or if it is a fan
582
00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:44.019
- account or what or if it is just,
583
00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.839
- like, offhand.
584
00:21:45.619 --> 00:21:47.140
- That's a big way that I'm probably gonna
585
00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:47.880
- find it nowadays.
586
00:21:48.355 --> 00:21:49.654
- Right. Yeah. You know,
587
00:21:50.355 --> 00:21:52.595
- YouTube videos, I I do watch it on
588
00:21:52.595 --> 00:21:55.154
- my big screen TV 99%
589
00:21:55.154 --> 00:21:57.394
- of the time. I I'm not of the
590
00:21:57.394 --> 00:21:59.815
- demographic where I'm gonna hold my phone up
591
00:22:00.274 --> 00:22:00.774
- and
592
00:22:01.315 --> 00:22:03.799
- watch a long form video on my phone.
593
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.119
- I watch lots of shorts, and I don't
594
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.860
- do TikTok in particular, but I do shorts
595
00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:12.380
- on YouTube, which are similar things and
596
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:14.380
- and all that. I I
597
00:22:14.695 --> 00:22:17.335
- never really got into TikTok. I I loaded
598
00:22:17.335 --> 00:22:18.555
- it once, and then
599
00:22:19.335 --> 00:22:21.335
- three hours later said, no. I can't do
600
00:22:21.335 --> 00:22:22.474
- this. Mhmm.
601
00:22:23.335 --> 00:22:23.994
- You know?
602
00:22:24.375 --> 00:22:26.855
- Three hours. I'm I'm, like, six hours later
603
00:22:26.855 --> 00:22:28.480
- going, oh, I should probably go to sleep
604
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.519
- before I have to wake up in an
605
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:30.419
- hour. Yeah.
606
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.519
- Yeah. And and, you know, those even the,
607
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:36.359
- you know, YouTube shorts, same idea, you know,
608
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.640
- the Mhmm. You can really get sucked into
609
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:39.140
- it.
610
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.019
- And
611
00:22:40.365 --> 00:22:42.125
- I guess that's the goal, but, you know,
612
00:22:42.125 --> 00:22:44.285
- you do learn stuff. And then, you know,
613
00:22:44.285 --> 00:22:46.045
- like a lot of the shorts people that
614
00:22:46.045 --> 00:22:46.545
- I've
615
00:22:47.085 --> 00:22:50.144
- discovered because of watching short form video,
616
00:22:51.164 --> 00:22:52.384
- I discover them.
617
00:22:52.890 --> 00:22:55.130
- I look at their YouTube channel, and if
618
00:22:55.130 --> 00:22:58.009
- they also have an audio podcast, I'll find
619
00:22:58.009 --> 00:22:59.470
- them that way. I mean, there's,
620
00:22:59.849 --> 00:23:02.490
- you know, the the whole media I mean,
621
00:23:02.490 --> 00:23:04.330
- podcasting is, you know, you get down to
622
00:23:04.330 --> 00:23:07.529
- it. Podcasting is a distribution method, not a
623
00:23:07.529 --> 00:23:08.029
- format.
624
00:23:09.474 --> 00:23:11.095
- Sure. You know? And,
625
00:23:11.634 --> 00:23:13.394
- you know, you wanna be real stickler. It's
626
00:23:13.394 --> 00:23:16.134
- RSS, but that's, you know, the ship sailed,
627
00:23:16.994 --> 00:23:17.894
- a little bit.
628
00:23:18.355 --> 00:23:20.115
- Yeah. We don't get to decide that. The
629
00:23:20.115 --> 00:23:21.839
- the consumer is At the core, at the
630
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.640
- core, it is just a distribution method. And
631
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.779
- if you could distribute
632
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.119
- yours is that a word? Distribute? Distribute? There
633
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.279
- you go. Yeah. Infast is on the wrong
634
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.880
- syllable, but you got it. Yeah. There we
635
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.115
- go. But, you know, as long as you
636
00:23:35.115 --> 00:23:37.035
- can be as everywhere as you can, who
637
00:23:37.035 --> 00:23:39.515
- cares what they call it? You know? Yep.
638
00:23:39.515 --> 00:23:43.195
- The consumer of the media doesn't care whether
639
00:23:43.195 --> 00:23:45.595
- it's called a podcast, a YouTube channel, a
640
00:23:45.595 --> 00:23:48.849
- TV show, a radio show. Doesn't matter. It's
641
00:23:48.849 --> 00:23:49.589
- the distribution.
642
00:23:51.089 --> 00:23:52.230
- And being as,
643
00:23:52.609 --> 00:23:53.750
- you know, as
644
00:23:54.210 --> 00:23:56.710
- agile as far as putting your stuff everywhere
645
00:23:56.769 --> 00:23:58.230
- you can be reasonably
646
00:23:58.929 --> 00:23:59.990
- is a good thing.
647
00:24:00.690 --> 00:24:01.349
- You know,
648
00:24:02.184 --> 00:24:04.224
- And I you know? I
649
00:24:05.205 --> 00:24:07.085
- personally, I'm not gonna watch
650
00:24:07.625 --> 00:24:09.705
- a a video on my phone unless it's
651
00:24:09.705 --> 00:24:12.765
- a short one. But on my big TV,
652
00:24:13.224 --> 00:24:15.144
- no problem. You know? Got an hour long
653
00:24:15.144 --> 00:24:17.404
- show. As long as it's interesting and compelling,
654
00:24:17.545 --> 00:24:18.900
- I'll sit and watch it.
655
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.880
- Yep. I watch this,
656
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.599
- this one YouTube channel. He doesn't well, he
657
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.259
- does a podcast, but not of this show.
658
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.680
- But his he does a a weekly video
659
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:30.960
- that can be up to two and a
660
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.339
- half, three hours sometimes.
661
00:24:33.404 --> 00:24:35.965
- And I make sure I I watch that,
662
00:24:36.445 --> 00:24:38.545
- you know, usually sometime over the weekend.
663
00:24:40.045 --> 00:24:41.984
- It comes out on Friday. And
664
00:24:42.765 --> 00:24:45.585
- but that's not everybody's use case. You know?
665
00:24:46.650 --> 00:24:48.330
- And, then, of course, they listen to one
666
00:24:48.330 --> 00:24:50.650
- audio podcast that can be up to three
667
00:24:50.650 --> 00:24:51.869
- hours twice a week.
668
00:24:54.089 --> 00:24:56.349
- Yeah. I I did wanna touch on,
669
00:24:58.410 --> 00:24:59.630
- Mackenzie's, like,
670
00:25:00.089 --> 00:25:02.269
- you know, finding podcasts on,
671
00:25:03.194 --> 00:25:03.694
- TikTok.
672
00:25:04.075 --> 00:25:04.474
- Yeah.
673
00:25:05.515 --> 00:25:07.914
- So something we we've started to do to
674
00:25:07.914 --> 00:25:10.734
- kinda pull pull back our blueberry curtain here
675
00:25:10.875 --> 00:25:11.375
- is,
676
00:25:12.234 --> 00:25:14.490
- we do what's called social listening. Basically, it's
677
00:25:15.049 --> 00:25:16.269
- getting out into
678
00:25:16.890 --> 00:25:19.309
- the the conversations that are happening online
679
00:25:19.769 --> 00:25:22.029
- and going, what are you guys talking about
680
00:25:22.250 --> 00:25:23.069
- as podcasters?
681
00:25:23.690 --> 00:25:24.589
- Mhmm. And,
682
00:25:25.849 --> 00:25:27.849
- one thing that I see over and over
683
00:25:27.849 --> 00:25:28.829
- and over again
684
00:25:29.369 --> 00:25:29.869
- is
685
00:25:30.345 --> 00:25:31.164
- people becoming
686
00:25:31.785 --> 00:25:32.684
- very obsessed
687
00:25:34.184 --> 00:25:36.105
- with making clips of their show. And, like,
688
00:25:36.105 --> 00:25:38.424
- I've seen people just, like, bend over backward
689
00:25:38.424 --> 00:25:40.525
- to figure out how to make it work.
690
00:25:40.585 --> 00:25:42.265
- So if I could give just a little
691
00:25:42.265 --> 00:25:43.644
- piece of practical advice,
692
00:25:44.424 --> 00:25:45.484
- what I would do,
693
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:49.039
- rather than having a full blown, oh, I
694
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:51.359
- need a soft box and this type of
695
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.599
- light and this super fancy camera, and I
696
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.259
- have to spend six hours setting things up,
697
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:58.259
- grab a webcam,
698
00:25:59.005 --> 00:26:01.644
- place it somewhere wherever you record, or if
699
00:26:01.644 --> 00:26:04.125
- you record on Zoom, just record the Zoom
700
00:26:04.125 --> 00:26:05.105
- call in the video,
701
00:26:05.804 --> 00:26:08.525
- and use that to clip it. There are
702
00:26:08.525 --> 00:26:09.424
- plenty of
703
00:26:09.724 --> 00:26:11.724
- services out there that you can take your
704
00:26:11.724 --> 00:26:13.265
- video when it's done,
705
00:26:13.609 --> 00:26:16.029
- And Yep. It will find clips for you
706
00:26:16.170 --> 00:26:18.250
- and tell you, like, hey. These are pretty
707
00:26:18.250 --> 00:26:20.570
- good clips based on the transcript and things
708
00:26:20.570 --> 00:26:22.970
- like that. Just do that and make it
709
00:26:22.970 --> 00:26:24.190
- as simple as possible
710
00:26:24.570 --> 00:26:26.830
- so that you are not killing yourself
711
00:26:27.210 --> 00:26:27.710
- to
712
00:26:29.904 --> 00:26:31.845
- get all of that content out there. Because
713
00:26:32.865 --> 00:26:34.164
- even even doing
714
00:26:35.105 --> 00:26:37.984
- the simplest podcast can easily become a full
715
00:26:37.984 --> 00:26:40.625
- time job. And this comes from from a
716
00:26:40.625 --> 00:26:42.384
- guy who's done a bunch of different kinds
717
00:26:42.384 --> 00:26:44.964
- of podcasts. And, like, now I'm even going,
718
00:26:45.130 --> 00:26:46.890
- okay. Well, I'm gonna start a new audio
719
00:26:46.890 --> 00:26:47.789
- drama podcast,
720
00:26:48.409 --> 00:26:50.089
- even though I don't actually have time to
721
00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:52.730
- do it. Yeah. But I wanna do it.
722
00:26:52.730 --> 00:26:55.049
- It sounds like a lot of fun and
723
00:26:55.049 --> 00:26:57.710
- a lot of work. I'm guilty as charged.
724
00:26:57.849 --> 00:27:00.384
- I've started and stopped more podcasts than anybody
725
00:27:00.384 --> 00:27:01.045
- I know,
726
00:27:02.384 --> 00:27:03.605
- because it is work.
727
00:27:05.265 --> 00:27:07.265
- You know, I'm I'm I was doing a
728
00:27:07.265 --> 00:27:09.424
- daily here recently, and I sort of been
729
00:27:09.424 --> 00:27:11.365
- on hiatus with that one as well.
730
00:27:12.070 --> 00:27:13.990
- And that one was super easy. It took
731
00:27:13.990 --> 00:27:16.230
- me, you know, a five minute show took
732
00:27:16.230 --> 00:27:18.710
- me ten minutes to produce, and that was
733
00:27:18.710 --> 00:27:19.210
- it.
734
00:27:19.990 --> 00:27:22.710
- But another, thing, you know, along your lines
735
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:24.630
- as far as clipping the show, instead of
736
00:27:24.630 --> 00:27:27.450
- clipping it, you could also promo it by
737
00:27:27.575 --> 00:27:28.714
- picking up your phone
738
00:27:29.654 --> 00:27:32.214
- and doing a selfie video. Hey. I've got
739
00:27:32.214 --> 00:27:33.815
- this week on blah blah blah blah blah,
740
00:27:33.815 --> 00:27:35.335
- you know, and then throw that up on
741
00:27:35.335 --> 00:27:38.875
- you on TikTok and YouTube and wherever else
742
00:27:38.934 --> 00:27:41.900
- short form videos go. I mean, how easy
743
00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.559
- is that?
744
00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:44.940
- You know, it doesn't have to actually be
745
00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:46.480
- a clip of your show.
746
00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:48.400
- No. It could be a clip
747
00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:50.000
- about your show.
748
00:27:50.299 --> 00:27:52.400
- Yeah. That is good enough for me.
749
00:27:53.464 --> 00:27:55.464
- That's that's generally good enough for me in
750
00:27:55.464 --> 00:27:58.365
- terms of, like, the promotion. But Mhmm. Also,
751
00:27:58.904 --> 00:28:00.365
- in terms of, like,
752
00:28:01.065 --> 00:28:01.565
- listening,
753
00:28:03.065 --> 00:28:04.845
- I've seen this happen in
754
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.759
- the the TV shows that I'm watching Mhmm.
755
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.580
- But also
756
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.039
- in the podcast that I'm listening to. A
757
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.980
- lot of limited series because
758
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:17.580
- production has gotten
759
00:28:18.045 --> 00:28:20.525
- so long in between season one and season
760
00:28:20.525 --> 00:28:22.845
- two that I am done with it. I
761
00:28:22.845 --> 00:28:24.924
- am done with a show that only had
762
00:28:24.924 --> 00:28:26.605
- eight episodes, and then you want me to
763
00:28:26.605 --> 00:28:28.765
- come back three years later. I'm gonna do
764
00:28:28.765 --> 00:28:31.404
- it for some really damn good shows. But
765
00:28:31.404 --> 00:28:32.065
- in general,
766
00:28:32.899 --> 00:28:34.839
- like, I'm not gonna care.
767
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:37.700
- I'm just I'm not coming back. And so
768
00:28:37.700 --> 00:28:38.519
- I really
769
00:28:39.779 --> 00:28:42.819
- have have seen myself change over to I
770
00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:43.880
- wanna get in,
771
00:28:44.419 --> 00:28:45.640
- and I care about
772
00:28:47.244 --> 00:28:50.125
- this six episode show that really knocks it
773
00:28:50.125 --> 00:28:51.744
- out of the park. Mhmm.
774
00:28:53.244 --> 00:28:54.144
- Instead of,
775
00:28:55.085 --> 00:28:56.144
- you know, every
776
00:28:56.605 --> 00:28:59.184
- every day, every three days, every whatever
777
00:28:59.730 --> 00:29:02.210
- of a mediocre episode that just feels like
778
00:29:02.210 --> 00:29:03.670
- I'm I'm eavesdropping
779
00:29:04.049 --> 00:29:05.569
- on a conversation I don't care about at
780
00:29:05.569 --> 00:29:06.470
- a coffee shop.
781
00:29:06.849 --> 00:29:09.829
- Yeah. Yeah. I I want to be enthralled.
782
00:29:10.529 --> 00:29:11.809
- That's what I care about at this point
783
00:29:11.809 --> 00:29:14.289
- for my content. Try try being a Star
784
00:29:14.289 --> 00:29:15.190
- Trek fan.
785
00:29:16.825 --> 00:29:17.565
- The dedication?
786
00:29:18.025 --> 00:29:19.565
- They do 10 episodes,
787
00:29:20.184 --> 00:29:23.065
- and then three years later, do 10 more
788
00:29:23.065 --> 00:29:25.224
- episodes. And then three years later, do you
789
00:29:25.224 --> 00:29:25.964
- know, it's
790
00:29:26.585 --> 00:29:28.679
- yeah. You know? Yeah. You know? Then they
791
00:29:28.679 --> 00:29:30.440
- have a a spin off series that's a
792
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.000
- totally different name that connects to four seasons
793
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.000
- ago. Yeah. Oh my god. My friends were
794
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.160
- asking recently. They're like, are you watching House
795
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.400
- of the Dragon? No. Are you gonna watch
796
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.125
- the new Harry Potter TV series? No. No.
797
00:29:42.345 --> 00:29:43.865
- I watched all the movies. I read the
798
00:29:43.865 --> 00:29:44.365
- books.
799
00:29:44.825 --> 00:29:45.565
- I'm good.
800
00:29:46.184 --> 00:29:48.105
- Like, I'm good for Harry Potter. I don't
801
00:29:48.105 --> 00:29:49.865
- care about Game of Thrones. Also, they trashed
802
00:29:49.865 --> 00:29:51.705
- the last season. So, no, you ruined it.
803
00:29:51.705 --> 00:29:53.085
- I don't wanna come back.
804
00:29:54.289 --> 00:29:57.009
- Yeah. See, the trick there is, like, my
805
00:29:57.009 --> 00:29:58.789
- wife and I do, we pick a series
806
00:29:58.929 --> 00:30:00.230
- that is done.
807
00:30:01.409 --> 00:30:02.929
- And then you go watch it after. And
808
00:30:02.929 --> 00:30:05.409
- then we binge watch that series till we're
809
00:30:05.409 --> 00:30:05.909
- done.
810
00:30:06.450 --> 00:30:08.849
- And then we pick another one and binge
811
00:30:08.849 --> 00:30:11.144
- watch that series till it's done. You know,
812
00:30:11.144 --> 00:30:14.585
- like, Blacklist has, what, eleven seasons or something.
813
00:30:14.585 --> 00:30:16.904
- We're, like, on season eight. We've been watching
814
00:30:16.904 --> 00:30:18.044
- it for six months.
815
00:30:18.825 --> 00:30:19.325
- Yep.
816
00:30:20.184 --> 00:30:23.140
- Exactly. I I so much of my content
817
00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:26.359
- consumption well, I it's kinda interesting because
818
00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:28.359
- I feel like I
819
00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:31.000
- I just adore long form
820
00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.119
- Mhmm.
821
00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.000
- Anything.
822
00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.440
- You give me
823
00:30:34.954 --> 00:30:37.214
- an hour long audio podcast
824
00:30:37.835 --> 00:30:39.375
- Mhmm. Or, you know,
825
00:30:39.914 --> 00:30:41.055
- a a a video essay.
826
00:30:41.515 --> 00:30:43.595
- I am here for it. But at the
827
00:30:43.595 --> 00:30:44.414
- same time,
828
00:30:45.355 --> 00:30:47.115
- I will be more than happy to just
829
00:30:47.115 --> 00:30:48.575
- sit and scroll Instagram
830
00:30:48.990 --> 00:30:50.910
- on my phone for the same amount of
831
00:30:50.910 --> 00:30:52.670
- time Mhmm. And then have a dog bark
832
00:30:52.670 --> 00:30:54.269
- and be like, hey. I gotta go outside.
833
00:30:54.269 --> 00:30:56.589
- I'm like, okay. But the phone's coming with
834
00:30:56.589 --> 00:30:59.069
- me because I'm not done scrolling. Yeah.
835
00:30:59.950 --> 00:31:01.410
- So it's just kinda interesting,
836
00:31:01.744 --> 00:31:04.545
- like, how how much I do adore long
837
00:31:04.545 --> 00:31:05.045
- form
838
00:31:05.585 --> 00:31:06.965
- even in Mhmm.
839
00:31:07.744 --> 00:31:08.884
- A time when
840
00:31:09.265 --> 00:31:12.625
- short form is still super popular. Everybody's trying
841
00:31:12.625 --> 00:31:13.684
- to grab your attention,
842
00:31:14.065 --> 00:31:16.244
- but I I still love that long form.
843
00:31:16.690 --> 00:31:17.190
- Yeah.
844
00:31:17.890 --> 00:31:20.369
- And that's, you know, that's that's just to
845
00:31:20.369 --> 00:31:23.490
- make make the content you want and consume
846
00:31:23.490 --> 00:31:24.150
- the content
847
00:31:24.849 --> 00:31:25.509
- you want
848
00:31:25.809 --> 00:31:27.650
- the way you want. And that that's something
849
00:31:27.650 --> 00:31:29.830
- that, you know, we we're spoiled now.
850
00:31:30.705 --> 00:31:32.005
- You know, used to be
851
00:31:32.625 --> 00:31:36.625
- watching TV involved, oh, Sunday night at 08:00,
852
00:31:36.625 --> 00:31:38.144
- I have to be sitting in front of
853
00:31:38.144 --> 00:31:40.404
- this box in the in the living room.
854
00:31:41.025 --> 00:31:43.359
- And that was it. I mean, there was
855
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.339
- no option
856
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:45.700
- to go online.
857
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.319
- There was no option to even record it
858
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:49.460
- when I was a kid.
859
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.880
- VPRs weren't even invented when I started watching
860
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.039
- TV. You know? Right. It's me old. I
861
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.700
- get it.
862
00:31:56.495 --> 00:31:59.775
- But, you know, and, oh, color? That's actually
863
00:31:59.775 --> 00:32:01.394
- in color now? Cool.
864
00:32:02.654 --> 00:32:03.394
- That's funny.
865
00:32:03.775 --> 00:32:04.174
- But,
866
00:32:04.894 --> 00:32:07.295
- you know, hey, that's, you know, my my
867
00:32:07.295 --> 00:32:09.795
- generation kind of bridged the gap between,
868
00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:13.359
- you know, no technology and all the technology.
869
00:32:14.299 --> 00:32:14.799
- Right.
870
00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:17.440
- Yeah. You know, we've had to adapt.
871
00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:20.400
- But, yeah, we're spoiled, you know. And and
872
00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:22.240
- here's here's where I
873
00:32:23.099 --> 00:32:24.319
- I find it funny
874
00:32:25.035 --> 00:32:26.955
- is I'm sitting there watching a TV show.
875
00:32:26.955 --> 00:32:27.855
- So we're watching
876
00:32:28.394 --> 00:32:29.695
- Star Trek or Blacklist
877
00:32:30.075 --> 00:32:32.494
- or some long form TV show,
878
00:32:32.795 --> 00:32:34.475
- and it gets to a boring part. I
879
00:32:34.475 --> 00:32:36.394
- pull out my phone and I'm looking through
880
00:32:36.394 --> 00:32:37.295
- shorts and
881
00:32:37.755 --> 00:32:39.855
- scrolling Facebook or whatever.
882
00:32:41.809 --> 00:32:44.049
- Really? You're so bored with watching TV that
883
00:32:44.049 --> 00:32:45.590
- you need to watch another one?
884
00:32:46.769 --> 00:32:47.910
- Yeah. Well,
885
00:32:48.369 --> 00:32:51.910
- I mean, this isn't necessarily podcasting related, but,
886
00:32:52.210 --> 00:32:52.710
- like,
887
00:32:53.085 --> 00:32:56.384
- Netflix has started to tell writers and directors,
888
00:32:56.684 --> 00:32:58.044
- you need to change the way that you
889
00:32:58.044 --> 00:33:00.625
- shoot your long form content because
890
00:33:01.244 --> 00:33:02.845
- you have to you have to make it
891
00:33:02.845 --> 00:33:04.924
- as a second screen. That's what they're referring
892
00:33:04.924 --> 00:33:05.825
- to it as,
893
00:33:06.284 --> 00:33:08.069
- because people are checking their phones.
894
00:33:08.630 --> 00:33:09.029
- So,
895
00:33:09.669 --> 00:33:12.069
- and along those season of stranger things for
896
00:33:12.069 --> 00:33:13.049
- that exact reason.
897
00:33:13.429 --> 00:33:16.149
- Oh, don't even that's a that's a different
898
00:33:16.149 --> 00:33:16.649
- conversation,
899
00:33:17.109 --> 00:33:19.429
- and I could be here for years. Yeah.
900
00:33:19.429 --> 00:33:20.149
- It's the,
901
00:33:21.065 --> 00:33:23.384
- you are on your medium sized screen all
902
00:33:23.384 --> 00:33:25.625
- day long, and then you you're done with
903
00:33:25.625 --> 00:33:27.224
- that. So then you sit in front of
904
00:33:27.224 --> 00:33:29.224
- your big screen to scroll on your tiny
905
00:33:29.224 --> 00:33:29.724
- screen.
906
00:33:30.025 --> 00:33:31.804
- That's what happens to everyone nowadays.
907
00:33:32.345 --> 00:33:32.845
- Yeah.
908
00:33:33.144 --> 00:33:35.170
- And, you know, as much as I hate
909
00:33:35.170 --> 00:33:36.850
- to admit it, I'm sucked right into the
910
00:33:36.850 --> 00:33:37.670
- same thing.
911
00:33:38.049 --> 00:33:40.450
- You know? I need to be entertained all
912
00:33:40.450 --> 00:33:42.690
- that. Yes. I do. Like, you know, standing
913
00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:44.769
- in line at the grocery store, and I
914
00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:46.549
- might pull out my phone. Just
915
00:33:46.930 --> 00:33:48.630
- well, I'm just standing here.
916
00:33:49.105 --> 00:33:50.644
- You know? Yeah. And
917
00:33:51.024 --> 00:33:53.984
- and and it is relevant to podcasters because
918
00:33:53.984 --> 00:33:54.724
- we are
919
00:33:55.345 --> 00:33:56.644
- competing with
920
00:33:57.345 --> 00:33:58.164
- all of this.
921
00:33:59.105 --> 00:34:00.865
- And not not in a bad way, but
922
00:34:00.865 --> 00:34:01.264
- we are
923
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:04.880
- we're part of the media landscape as a
924
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.000
- podcaster, whether you're doing an audio only show,
925
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.260
- a video show, a YouTube channel,
926
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.000
- whatever, all the above, we're competing with all
927
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.340
- of that stuff, TV included.
928
00:34:17.484 --> 00:34:20.045
- Yeah. And I I I think something like,
929
00:34:20.045 --> 00:34:21.644
- a a key thing that I think every
930
00:34:21.644 --> 00:34:23.824
- podcaster needs to consider if they're not
931
00:34:24.364 --> 00:34:24.864
- is
932
00:34:25.324 --> 00:34:27.184
- what does your audience
933
00:34:27.565 --> 00:34:28.065
- want?
934
00:34:28.364 --> 00:34:30.125
- I think when you have a new show,
935
00:34:30.125 --> 00:34:32.784
- you don't know, so play around with it.
936
00:34:33.359 --> 00:34:35.039
- We've talked about it in older episodes of
937
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.859
- Podcast Insider to just experiment with your show
938
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.319
- because nobody's going to scream at you because
939
00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:41.539
- you changed something.
940
00:34:41.839 --> 00:34:43.679
- They will tell you, hey. I enjoyed that
941
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.279
- or I didn't enjoy that thing that you
942
00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:46.099
- got rid of.
943
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:47.539
- But,
944
00:34:48.275 --> 00:34:49.735
- again, if you're a new show,
945
00:34:50.035 --> 00:34:52.195
- play around with video. It doesn't have to
946
00:34:52.195 --> 00:34:54.434
- be the thing that you do, but make
947
00:34:54.434 --> 00:34:56.835
- a video component to your audio show. Play
948
00:34:56.835 --> 00:34:58.614
- around with it. See how well it's received,
949
00:34:58.994 --> 00:35:01.380
- and then lean into that a little bit
950
00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:03.460
- more. Or don't do it if you realize
951
00:35:03.460 --> 00:35:04.599
- I got two views
952
00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:07.719
- versus I got, you know, 50 downloads
953
00:35:08.179 --> 00:35:10.579
- on my or listens on my on my
954
00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:11.559
- audio podcast.
955
00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:13.639
- Because,
956
00:35:14.815 --> 00:35:15.474
- you know,
957
00:35:15.775 --> 00:35:16.755
- while you are
958
00:35:17.215 --> 00:35:19.695
- a creator, you're also a consumer. So take
959
00:35:19.695 --> 00:35:22.594
- that consumer mindset into what you are making.
960
00:35:22.655 --> 00:35:24.195
- Mhmm. That that would be
961
00:35:24.494 --> 00:35:26.175
- a a core piece of advice that I
962
00:35:26.175 --> 00:35:27.554
- would give podcasters
963
00:35:27.855 --> 00:35:28.594
- right now.
964
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.339
- Sure. And,
965
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:33.179
- you know, like I say, it's,
966
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.079
- we're we're part of that landscape. But as
967
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.579
- podcasters
968
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:39.980
- or podcast consumers or
969
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.675
- Netflix users, you know, whatever. It's all part
970
00:35:43.675 --> 00:35:44.894
- of the same ecosystem
971
00:35:45.195 --> 00:35:45.695
- now,
972
00:35:46.235 --> 00:35:47.534
- and we need to
973
00:35:48.474 --> 00:35:50.155
- do that. And, you know, Blueberry's got some
974
00:35:50.155 --> 00:35:52.394
- pretty exciting stuff if you wanna play with
975
00:35:52.394 --> 00:35:52.894
- video
976
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:54.619
- coming very soon,
977
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.480
- so,
978
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.900
- stay tuned for that. But
979
00:35:58.679 --> 00:35:59.179
- Yeah.
980
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:00.219
- Any
981
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:02.679
- final words of wisdom on,
982
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:06.199
- podcast consumption or media consumption? Or
983
00:36:06.984 --> 00:36:08.585
- no. I I I won't open it up
984
00:36:08.585 --> 00:36:09.324
- for complaints.
985
00:36:10.105 --> 00:36:10.605
- But
986
00:36:12.184 --> 00:36:14.445
- I I have a question because I'm curious.
987
00:36:15.464 --> 00:36:17.625
- Have either one of you and maybe our
988
00:36:17.625 --> 00:36:19.945
- listeners too. Can you leave a comment, chime
989
00:36:19.945 --> 00:36:22.800
- in, email Mike McKenzie or myself?
990
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:25.300
- Yeah. I wanna know, have you ever
991
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.099
- listened to or watched a podcast
992
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:29.619
- from
993
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.000
- a platform like Netflix or Disney plus or
994
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.315
- Hulu or anything like that? Because that is
995
00:36:36.315 --> 00:36:38.954
- becoming more popular. But I won't wanna say
996
00:36:38.954 --> 00:36:39.454
- popular.
997
00:36:39.914 --> 00:36:42.554
- It's happening more often. Yeah. It's happening more
998
00:36:42.554 --> 00:36:44.255
- often. I wouldn't say popular.
999
00:36:45.034 --> 00:36:46.574
- Yeah. You'll you'll have,
1000
00:36:46.875 --> 00:36:47.534
- you know,
1001
00:36:48.234 --> 00:36:49.679
- you know, Daredevil
1002
00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:52.640
- just came out with season two, and,
1003
00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:56.640
- now there's a Daredevil Born Again podcast
1004
00:36:57.099 --> 00:37:00.159
- about every episode. Have either of you two
1005
00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:00.719
- ever
1006
00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:02.880
- checked one of those out?
1007
00:37:03.785 --> 00:37:05.405
- I'll let you go first, Mackenzie.
1008
00:37:06.184 --> 00:37:08.505
- You mean, like, the, the, you know, the
1009
00:37:08.505 --> 00:37:10.605
- podcast about the TV show or whatever?
1010
00:37:11.065 --> 00:37:12.045
- Yeah. Yeah.
1011
00:37:12.585 --> 00:37:13.885
- Yes. I have.
1012
00:37:14.184 --> 00:37:14.664
- There was
1013
00:37:16.190 --> 00:37:18.269
- oh my god. I'm I'm dating myself. I
1014
00:37:18.269 --> 00:37:20.030
- sound like Mike saying I'm dating myself. But
1015
00:37:20.030 --> 00:37:20.690
- I remember
1016
00:37:21.230 --> 00:37:22.690
- in 2013,
1017
00:37:23.710 --> 00:37:24.210
- listening
1018
00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:25.710
- 2012,
1019
00:37:25.710 --> 00:37:26.610
- 2011,
1020
00:37:26.670 --> 00:37:27.630
- like, 2013,
1021
00:37:27.869 --> 00:37:29.730
- listening to a lot of Breaking Bad podcasts.
1022
00:37:30.605 --> 00:37:33.344
- Yeah. There was not, like, an official one
1023
00:37:33.724 --> 00:37:35.885
- through AMC at that time because that was
1024
00:37:35.885 --> 00:37:38.204
- not a thing. But I remember listening to
1025
00:37:38.204 --> 00:37:40.204
- a lot of, like, fan ones. And then
1026
00:37:40.204 --> 00:37:41.414
- I have listened to,
1027
00:37:44.070 --> 00:37:46.570
- there was a last of us podcast
1028
00:37:46.869 --> 00:37:48.010
- that the creator,
1029
00:37:49.430 --> 00:37:51.030
- the creator of the show, the creator of
1030
00:37:51.030 --> 00:37:52.710
- the game, and then the main character in
1031
00:37:52.710 --> 00:37:54.710
- the game did together. And I listened to
1032
00:37:54.710 --> 00:37:56.250
- that for season one. And then,
1033
00:37:57.670 --> 00:37:58.170
- HBO
1034
00:37:59.175 --> 00:38:01.255
- does podcast for, like, a lot of their
1035
00:38:01.255 --> 00:38:03.335
- shows now. So I've listened to some random
1036
00:38:03.335 --> 00:38:03.835
- episodes,
1037
00:38:05.175 --> 00:38:05.994
- about that.
1038
00:38:06.454 --> 00:38:08.695
- Is that right on the platform that you're
1039
00:38:08.695 --> 00:38:09.835
- watching the show?
1040
00:38:10.535 --> 00:38:12.295
- So the when I was listening to The
1041
00:38:12.295 --> 00:38:13.974
- Last of Us, no. I would go listen
1042
00:38:13.974 --> 00:38:15.199
- on my phone. Mhmm.
1043
00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:17.440
- I have watched,
1044
00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:19.519
- I think,
1045
00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.400
- like,
1046
00:38:20.780 --> 00:38:21.280
- maybe
1047
00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:24.000
- the, like, three or four minute
1048
00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:25.280
- extras
1049
00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:28.175
- that show after the HBO show
1050
00:38:28.795 --> 00:38:30.175
- that are part of the podcast
1051
00:38:30.555 --> 00:38:31.535
- Mhmm. I think.
1052
00:38:32.235 --> 00:38:32.974
- And then,
1053
00:38:34.635 --> 00:38:35.914
- I was just over at my friend's house
1054
00:38:35.914 --> 00:38:37.434
- the other day, and we were scrolling through
1055
00:38:37.434 --> 00:38:39.355
- Netflix. Then it has, like, a whole section
1056
00:38:39.355 --> 00:38:41.130
- for podcast that I have not listened to,
1057
00:38:41.130 --> 00:38:42.969
- but we were, like, scrolling through. And then
1058
00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:44.730
- we were like, we are not in the
1059
00:38:44.809 --> 00:38:46.489
- this is, like, not the type of mood
1060
00:38:46.489 --> 00:38:47.710
- that we're in right now.
1061
00:38:48.089 --> 00:38:50.409
- So no. Yeah. I've heard they're not doing
1062
00:38:50.409 --> 00:38:52.750
- great over there. So but god.
1063
00:38:53.050 --> 00:38:55.385
- I'm gonna go back to Star Trek because
1064
00:38:55.605 --> 00:38:58.425
- that's my that's my experience of that.
1065
00:38:58.724 --> 00:38:59.625
- But on Paramount,
1066
00:39:00.644 --> 00:39:02.485
- there you know, that's where all the Star
1067
00:39:02.485 --> 00:39:03.625
- Treks are now.
1068
00:39:04.085 --> 00:39:05.385
- It's on Paramount Plus.
1069
00:39:05.684 --> 00:39:07.304
- And they have a
1070
00:39:07.844 --> 00:39:08.744
- after show
1071
00:39:10.349 --> 00:39:10.849
- podcast
1072
00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:15.150
- style video. So I I don't believe it's
1073
00:39:15.150 --> 00:39:16.369
- distributed VRSS
1074
00:39:16.670 --> 00:39:18.529
- anywhere, but if it is, I might
1075
00:39:18.909 --> 00:39:19.889
- check it out. But
1076
00:39:20.750 --> 00:39:23.549
- so anytime they're premiering a new series, so,
1077
00:39:23.549 --> 00:39:26.144
- like, there's 10 episodes of Strange New Worlds
1078
00:39:26.144 --> 00:39:27.525
- coming up here really soon.
1079
00:39:27.905 --> 00:39:29.445
- And after every one,
1080
00:39:30.065 --> 00:39:33.184
- they'll have a show with, Wil Wheaton, if
1081
00:39:33.184 --> 00:39:35.744
- you know who he is. Yeah. He played
1082
00:39:35.744 --> 00:39:38.005
- Wesley Crusher on Next Gen. Anyway,
1083
00:39:38.670 --> 00:39:39.409
- he interviews
1084
00:39:39.949 --> 00:39:40.449
- actors
1085
00:39:41.469 --> 00:39:42.130
- from that
1086
00:39:42.589 --> 00:39:45.170
- episode, and they talk about that episode.
1087
00:39:46.030 --> 00:39:48.449
- Right after the episode goes live,
1088
00:39:48.750 --> 00:39:49.889
- that goes live.
1089
00:39:50.349 --> 00:39:52.375
- And I, you know, I I don't think
1090
00:39:52.375 --> 00:39:54.795
- it's a true podcast, but it's very podcast
1091
00:39:54.934 --> 00:39:55.434
- style.
1092
00:39:56.215 --> 00:39:59.015
- Yeah. And, Yeah. You know, and, you know,
1093
00:39:59.015 --> 00:40:00.695
- so I always end up watching the after
1094
00:40:00.695 --> 00:40:03.115
- show after the show. You know?
1095
00:40:03.655 --> 00:40:04.155
- Right.
1096
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.719
- Yeah. I I remember I was gonna say,
1097
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.460
- oh, no. I've never listened or watched anything
1098
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:12.199
- on those platforms. But I was like, no.
1099
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:13.019
- I do remember,
1100
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.319
- when the most recent season of Peacekeeper came
1101
00:40:17.319 --> 00:40:19.179
- out on HBO Max.
1102
00:40:19.704 --> 00:40:21.625
- I just watched a random one, and I
1103
00:40:21.625 --> 00:40:23.964
- was like, I'd rather listen to this.
1104
00:40:24.585 --> 00:40:26.505
- I don't I don't really wanna watch a
1105
00:40:26.505 --> 00:40:28.984
- couple, you know, a few people talk about
1106
00:40:28.984 --> 00:40:30.664
- the show that I just watched. Mhmm. I'll
1107
00:40:30.664 --> 00:40:31.804
- just listen to it.
1108
00:40:32.630 --> 00:40:34.410
- But I do, like, you know,
1109
00:40:34.789 --> 00:40:36.969
- early days, like, when The Walking Dead was
1110
00:40:37.910 --> 00:40:39.849
- at at, like, its height of popularity,
1111
00:40:40.150 --> 00:40:41.530
- I was listening to,
1112
00:40:42.150 --> 00:40:43.690
- you know, an unofficial
1113
00:40:45.045 --> 00:40:47.444
- show about that. So, yeah, I didn't mean
1114
00:40:47.444 --> 00:40:49.625
- to get us off into a huge topic.
1115
00:40:49.844 --> 00:40:52.085
- Yeah. That's alright. That's It's it's I'm just
1116
00:40:52.085 --> 00:40:53.844
- curious because I I was like, I don't
1117
00:40:53.844 --> 00:40:55.045
- know that I've done that. And I guess
1118
00:40:55.045 --> 00:40:57.059
- I am guilty of it. But Yeah. Yeah.
1119
00:40:57.140 --> 00:40:58.739
- And that you know, that's kind of the
1120
00:40:58.739 --> 00:41:01.480
- format we're going for here is a conversation
1121
00:41:02.019 --> 00:41:03.400
- amongst us, not
1122
00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:06.260
