Podcasting Insights with The Podmaster: growth advice for people and brands

The Podmaster (Neal Veglio)

Want podcasting insights? I'm 'The Podmaster', here to help you with podcasting growth whether you're a brand or an individual who's looking to grow your podcast and attain 'podmastery'. My name is Neal Veglio and I've been in the podcasting game since 2001, when I became the first person in the UK to upload audio of my then radio show online, and generate an audience. This audience followed me throughout my radio career and engaged with my various other podcasts. But it wasn't always easy. And when I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency. I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals through my company Podknows Podcasting. Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my clients do with our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful! And ensuring you can avoid the dreaded 'podfade'! This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policy

YouTube Podcasting: Step-by-Step Guide to Ingesting Your Podcast into YouTube

In this episode of "The Podmaster", I'm sharing the process of adding your podcast to YouTube using its simple ingest system.

If you're a Libsyn customer, you probably won't need to go through any of this because they offer an easy way to add your show using their destinations page, and a similar tool is planned for Captivate customers.

But in case you're needing to add your own podcast to YouTube, here I am walking you through it.

To start with, you'll need to go into your show settings to obtain your RSS feed from your podcast hosting company.

Then, make sure you're logged into your YouTube account.

You'll be using the YouTube Studio tab to create and upload your podcast.

It goes without saying this is audio, so if you're the kind of person that needs to follow along these steps, here's the video version.

I'll also be sharing my views on audiograms and offering you suggestions for a far better use of your time!

Fancy working with me?

Give me your ears!

Not literally, keep those; you’ll need them for what you're about to hear.

1: How you need to reframe your current audience stats.

2: What you can do to increase them if you're still seeking dopamine.

By the time we’re done, you’ll have a noggin brimming with tactics tailored to your individual podcast challenges.

Because, let’s face it, moulding a prosperous podcast it’s not about rolling dice, it’s about strategy.

Welcome to this episode of "The Podmaster" which delves into the continuing debate around the trend of 'video podcasts' and whether we need to take it more seriously in 2025.

The article that inspired this episode is this one from Vulture - https://www.vulture.com/article/will-video-kill-the-audio-star-in-2025

Hi, I'm Neal Veglio, The Podmaster, and I want to open this topic by acknowledging that I'm an OG in podcasting and massively fond of its origins as an audio format.

Audio podcasts have traditionally provided a unique intimacy and portability for listeners.

However, with the recent surge in popularity of video podcasts, spearheaded by influential figures like Joe Rogan, there’s a palpable shift in how creators engage with their audiences.

So I'm posing a critical question: Is the move towards video a genuine evolution in the medium, or merely a passing trend?

And talking of video podcasting, is Spotify trying to muscle in on YouTube's turf?

Suck this article down now because we'll be covering this off in a future episode of The Podmaster soon!
