My Long Winter's Nap is over, and the podcasting landscape has never looked brighter. And maybe a little different? No, a lot different. I'm convinced the changes are just getting started. Hold onto your butts!
I'm back, baby! As happens some significant changes have happened to my relationship with podcasting while I was been away. All positive!
Let me start with the one that has the biggest impact on more than just me: I am no longer an advisor to Captivate.fm because Captivate was acquired by Global, a leading UK media company!
Podcast Pontifications shall remain hosted on Captivate, as it's a great service with phenomenal UX and a forward-thinking leadership team. But that does mean I'm now free of conflicts if you're seeking out a new member to join your podcast-related company's advisory board. Brad.
Next is that I'm hosting yet another podcast about podcasting! No, I'm not building a publishing empire like Dave Jackson. But I am taking over hosting duties for 3 Clips, a role previously filled by the person who started the show back in late 2019, Jay Acunzo. Thanks to the fine folks at Castos for choosing me to handle Season 2.
3 Clips is a lot of fun and a very different show from Podcast Pontifications. 3 Clips and Podcast Pontifications are complimentary shows, I think. Subscribe/follow at 3ClipsPodcast.com and see if you agree.
Finally comes some changes to how I produce and publish Podcast Pontifications. Starting now, I'll no longer write, record, produce, and release each episode, article, and issue promotional shares in a real-time, four-hour block four days a week.
Yes, that's insane. No, I don't recommend it.
Instead, I'm working ahead, like a sane person. Sadly, that means no more live recordings. Sorry to disappoint Betty, Arlen, Kevin, and maybe three or four other regular watchers who enjoyed my daily live tapings. Hopefully, better episodes will make up for it!
Those three really big changes for me personally are indicative of what's to come for all of us in 2022. Expect more acquisition and consolidation this year. Expect your favorite podcast hosts to launch or host additional podcasts.
Those factors, plus the huge influx of advertising dollars, new namespace changes, and creative people clawing back from two years struggling with a pandemic that just won't go away... 2022 is going to be a wild year for podcasters. I hope you're ready.
