About this episode
Podcast platforms are changing what gets seen and what gets shared, and if your show is still built for how podcasting *used* to work, it’ll get skipped, buried, or replaced. That’s why I brought together five industry experts to break down what’s actually shifting inside podcasting right now, and why creators who adapt early have a real advantage. Because this next era won’t reward the biggest shows. It’ll reward the ones built for how listeners behave today, which is great news for independent hosts with something meaningful to say. So if you want to stay visible as podcasting enters its next era, hit play and let’s dive in.1:04 – Why Podcasting Doesn’t Work the Way It Used To7:42 – Why “Word of Mouth” Isn’t How New Listeners Find Shows Anymore15:36 – Why Big Download Numbers Matter Less Than Listener Attention24:18 – How AI Content Puts Listener Trust (and Creators) at Risk33:51 – Why More Podcasters Are Moving Away From Ad Revenue Very Special Thanks to This Episode’s Guest Experts:Jennifer Han: Ausha | LinkedIn | PodWarsAlex Sanfilippo: PodMatch.com | LinkedIn | Podcasting Made SimpleTom Rossi; Buzzsprout | LinkedIn | BuzzcastEllie Puckett: Resonate Recordings | LinkedIn | Renegade VenturesLauren Passell: Tink Media | LinkedIn | Podcast The Newsletter Other Episodes You’ll Love: The State of Podcasting Today and Where It’s Headed__________________________________________Liked this episode?
