In the Season 3 Finale we have a topic that was two-seasons in the making - returning from a hiatus. This week we reflect on our experience returning from a hiatus including some of the successes we had, as well as some of the areas we wish we had handled better. In this week's Better Podcasting Download we discuss Generative AI in podcasts, how we think it's not ready yet, but where we think it might start finding its home soon. For the Better Podback we have a listener asking about mic arms, we talk scheduling a guest far ahead and one listener follows up about the Procaster comment.

In the year 2023 there are a lot of places you may consider cross-posting your podcast to. Is it easy? Is there any ongoing maintenance? Should you let your media host do it for you? These are some of the areas we discuss in our conversation about posting to multiple distribution destinations. In this week's Better Podcasting Download, we express our disagreement with the tone of a Bloomberg article about YouTube Podcasts. Finally, in this week's Better Podback we round up audience feedback, including one video submission that was so good that we had to talk about (even if it doesn't make much sense for our audio listeners). We also have a follow-up about one listener that we previously mentioned who has a TikTok account for their podcast.

Last week we talked about exploring other communities to help grow your podcast, and in the process we briefly touched on social media.

Audio/Video Production by Stephen Jondrew of GonnaGeek Productions, proudly Canadian.

In this episode we talk about the idea of anonymous podcasting. We discuss some of the reasons you might consider podcasting under a nickname, some of the reasons you may not want to, some of the challenges you may expect to see by using your real name, and some of our experiences using pseudonyms. We'll also discuss some of the places we think you just may not be able to escape using your real name. Plus, SP has a big reveal regarding his pseudonym. In this week's Better Podcasting download, we talk about Facebook Audio Rooms going away. In our Better Podback, we give a follow up to last week's discussion about an editing mouse, and share a funny store that happened to us.
