What if there's a podcast that has less listeners but has 100,000 paid subscribers? Does that make it better or is it only based on downloads?” - Molly “I create things as a way to connect with other human beings. There's nothing wrong with creating something purely out of the desire to profit from it. But if I'm going to create this exclusive thing that only a small group of people get to hear, just for the sake of making money, it goes against what I think podcasting is all about.” - Marcus “The community's got to be strong to make any one of these NFTs relevant, that's kind of how a lot of it happens.

Podcasting is a fast-growing and fast-changing industry that’s been greatly affected by the pandemic, but those COVID-related curveballs have brought some new and exciting changes to podcasting over the past year. On this episode of The Podcast Club, Molly, Marcus and Adam share thoughts on the year in podcasting and look ahead at what trends they think are here to stay. Episode Summary With 2021 drawing to a close, The Podcast Club hosts huddle to reflect on the year and look ahead. On this episode, Molly, Marcus and Adam discuss the role of transcripts and inclusivity in the podcast world, why podcasters need to be on YouTube and the increased awareness of branding and monetization opportunities in podcasting. They note the lawsuit brought against SiriusXM for not having transcripts available for their podcasts. “We are about to see a whole new world of inclusion,” Molly says. “I love seeing stuff like that because it just means we're going to get more and more regulated in the industry. It'll become more and more accessible.” The hosts also discuss the expansion of video: podcasters are increasingly seeing the value in uploading to YouTube — a trend that will continue to grow in 2022. “People just spend so much time on YouTube,” says Marcus. Overall, it’s been an exciting few years in podcasting with many new developments, and The Podcast Club can’t wait to see what’s next. Tune in to hear what they think about inclusion in podcasting, branded podcasting, the amount of work that goes into creating a quality podcast, and the swing from remote to in-person podcasting, and back.

Creating a podcast is time-intensive, so having an easy-to-use, reliable website platform that aggregates everything — from your reviews to your YouTube videos — can make all the difference. On this episode of The Podcast Club, Molly, Marcus and Adam talk to Brenden Mulligan, creator of podcast website builder Podpage, about the importance of a solid podcast website. Having a website for your podcast that you can navigate seamlessly is crucial, both for presentation and as a direct connection to your audience. On this episode of The Podcast Club, Molly, Marcus and Adam sit down with Brenden Mulligan, the founder of podcast website builder Podpage, to talk about the importance of having a podcast website, and current trends in the industry. With a background in the music industry, Brenden saw how artists invested in building their fanbases on MySpace back in the day when it was a thing. Musicians often built their following on MySpace rather than developing their own websites. When MySpace fell apart, so did those fanbases. “I was searching for some podcast a couple years ago. And I was like, you guys don't have websites, you're relying on these distribution channels,” Brenden says. When he discovered that podcasts are syndicated through RSS feeds and the data is available for anyone to use, he realized he could easily build a website because he only needed to build the frontend. He created Podpage, which allows you to set up a website for your podcast that won’t be time-intensive or difficult to set up or maintain. “There are a lot of people who set up one of these pages and then never come back again,” Brenden says. “They don't have to worry about the website, we’ll automatically Tweet and post to Facebook if you want.” Tune in to hear their thoughts on using tools to automate processes, why the focus needs to be on creating good content, as well as trends that have emerged and waned since the beginning of the pandemic. Guest of the Pod: Brenden Mulligan 🎙️ What he does: Brenden is the founder of Podpage, which helps podcasters build a professional looking website for their podcast quickly and easily. 💡 Key quote: “I don't need to build a database. I just need to build a front end that reads the feed and puts the data on a website. And because it's structured, we can do all kinds of great SEO work.” 👋 Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Podcast Pro: Molly Ruland 🎙️ What she does: Molly is the founder and CEO of Heartcast Media, a full-service podcast production company and content creation lab based in Washington, D.C. 💡 Key quote: “I want to set people up for success, and force them into it.” 👋 Where to find her: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Podcast Pro: Marcus dePaula 🎙️ What he does: An audio engineer, podcast producer and website designer, Marcus runs Me Only Louder, a podcast production company in Franklin, Tenn. 💡 Key quote: “I feel like there's this contingency of people that feel like it's the apps job to help podcasters be discovered. And I think that is complete bullshit. I do not think that is a realistic way to live.” 👋 Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Podcast Pro: Adam Levin 🎙️ What he does: Adam is the manager of Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center and is the founder of Podcast Outfitters, which specializes in podcast equipment. 💡 Key quote: “They gravitate towards one thing and another thing and I see what the consumer behaviors [are] as it's evolved. Cameras are not the requirement anymore for everybody, it just depends on how you create and how you're doing it.” 👋 Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Tips for Podcasters Top takeaways from the episode ⭐ Having a podcast website that you can control is important. Create a website that you can use to engage with your audience directly. Relying solely on outside distribution channels to reach your audience isn’t a good strategy, because it takes the control out of your...

Choosing the right recording platform is critical when recording a podcast. Which platforms work best? How should you decide who to choose? On this episode of The Podcast Club, Molly, Marcus and Adam discuss why Riverside is their favorite. “We’re literally producing podcasts around the world right now because of Riverside,” Molly says. The audio quality, ability to record video, customer service and its mobile app are some of the reasons why Riverside is a great option for podcast recording. But it’s not all fairy dust and roses. As a venture-backed company, Riverside is incentivized to continually introduce new features and sometimes the changes can feel too rapid for users. Speaking of problems, you will encounter them no matter which platform you use, and Marcus cautions podcasters to recognize this instead of abandoning one platform only to encounter the same issue with whichever one they opt for next. The crew shares the tools they like and what’s worked for them, but ultimately, it’s about finding what works for you. Tune in to hear their thoughts on how the mindset you need to adopt in less than optimal recording environments, the importance of not allowing yourself to become beholden to a single platform, and why it’s essential that customers know what the work you’re doing for them truly involves. Tools and tech mentioned in this episode: ✔️ Riverside ✔️ Cleanfeed ✔️ SquadCast ✔️ Podcast Business Journal ✔️ 5x5 Podcast Pro: Molly Ruland 🎙️ What she does: Molly is the founder and CEO of Heartcast Media, a full-service podcast production company and content creation lab based in Washington, D.C. 💡 Key quote: “I love Riverside. (It) changed the game for me, and (with) Heartcast Media not having a brick and mortar studio, this is the next best thing. It's opened up our client base.” 👋 Where to find her: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Podcast Pro: Marcus dePaula 🎙️ What he does: An audio engineer, podcast producer and website designer, Marcus runs Me Only Louder, a podcast production company in Franklin, Tenn. 💡 Key quote: “The big differentiator with Riverside is they have always been recording video first. … Riverside was the first one to offer the video recording aspect for each individual person.” 👋 Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Podcast Pro: Adam Levin 🎙️ What he does: Adam is the manager of Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center and is the founder of Podcast Outfitters, which specializes in podcast equipment. 💡 Key quote: “Find the tool that works for you and know how to use it. But you can't be beholden to the tool.” 👋 Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Tips for Podcasters ⭐ Riverside offers several advantages over other podcast recording platforms. The Podcast Club hosts like Riverside’s local recording (vs. cloud) approach, mobile app, branding options, as well as the company’s excellent customer service. ⭐ No podcast platform can transcend a bad internet connection or hardware issues. These are baselines no matter which platform you’re using or who’s producing your podcast. ⭐ Be aware of drift issues. These occur when multiple tracks are being recorded by different users on different devices at slightly different sample rates. Riverside has settings to minimize this. Episode Highlights 00:01:16: A recording platform to rule them all: Glitches occur on all recording platforms. But Molly explains why she thinks Riverside is the next best thing to recording in a brick and mortar studio. 00:06:00 Catching the drift: Stories about drift issues have caused Marcus to steer clear of other platforms. Riverside’s mobile iOS app prevents this common problem, in which tracks recorded on multiple devices don’t sync properly because they have slightly different sample rates. It will be available for Android soon. 00:09:24 (Not) lost in the cloud: Another major advantage, Adam says, is that local records are integral on Riverside. (It records...

The systems you use for podcast editing and workflow can mean the difference between calm and insanity — for you as well as your clients. On this episode of The Podcast Club, Molly, Marcus and Adam get down and dirty on systems for managing podcast production workflow. “[Clients] like to know that we have a system in place,” Molly says on this episode. “Systems are so important, and so many people are really intimidated by [them].” Project management tools like Trello offer the ability to connect and communicate with clients and your team. It makes your job easier and is critical for helping scale your business (if that’s what you want). Setting up a public workflow system has the added benefit of showing clients the value they’re getting from working with you. Even though the crew shares the tools they like and what’s worked for them, ultimately, it’s about finding what works for you and your business. “It's not one big thing,” Marcus says. “It's all these little things along the way that add up.” Tune in to hear their thoughts on how to set up a workflow system, which project management tools are helpful, whether it ever makes sense to do custom work, as well as which mics they’re digging and other podcast industry hot topics.

Trello, Asana, ClickUp are some that are familiar and recommended by The Podcast Club. ⭐ Don’t spend hours on custom work. Create and reuse templates, which is more efficient and will help you produce an even higher quality product. “Take the fastest path to the money.” ⭐ Showing your workflow can help with client retention. An added benefit of building a trackable project management system for clients is that they get to see all the behind-the-scenes work and it will make them feel like their money is well spent. ⭐ Don’t create an impossible job that only you can do. If you don’t create solid systems, you’re the only one who will know what you do. This might just seem like an inconvenience for now, but if something happens and you can’t work for a while, you could really be in a pickle! Share the love with your team by creating templates and procedures instead of working randomly. Episode Highlights Inflection points from the show [4:41] Podcast systems: Molly talks about how implementing systems for your podcast production process or podcast company is the key to growth.
