Podcasts Will Be The Savior of Radio, But Don't Call Them Podcasts: “A 'podcast' is a meaningless term left over from that historical piece of technology called an iPod. Your dad might have had one. It’s nothing more than a delivery method for audio, but holy moly it has opened the floodgates to a whole new world of possibility.”
Join the Blubrry Affiliate Program: Affiliate payday was last Wednesday. Lots of BIG payments went out! We had a very successful 2017 with the affiliate program.
Facebook Changes — How will it affect your podcast?: You might be seeing more from your aunt than the businesses that you Liked on Facebook.

Support:

Passwords — The biggest problem tech support sees is that people do not write down passwords or remember them. Set yourself up with LastPass or another password management system. It will make your life easier (not just for podcasting).
Program Keywords / Web Friendly Names / Blubrry Directory URLs — Don't overthink them. They are not THAT important.
NOTE: They can’t be changed after the fact if you are hosting or using stats at blubrry.com.

3rd party media players and themes. There are lots of players available for WordPress to play podcasts, they are all fine but not all play well with PowerPress. We can help you with the stuff that PowerPress does, but we really can’t help much with the 3rd party players. If there is an issue with one of the players that we do not supply with PowerPress, you need to contact that player’s support team to troubleshoot it. If you have trouble with your RSS feed from PowerPress, we can help.
Do not pre-load or autoplay your podcast in the player on a page. Lot's of reasons to not integrate either of these on your website.

To ask questions or to comment on the show, contact Todd and Mike here: yourpodcast@blubrry.com. For MacKenzie, email MacKenzie@blubrry.com

It's a new year and you should have new goals for the year. Due to taking some time off for the holidays – which gave MacKenzie some time to think of new goals for herself – the following episode is a re-run.

Past show notes from the episode release in September of 2017:

Back in September of 2015 MacKenzie was tasked with restarting Blubrry’s show, the PowerPress Podcast. With consistent bi-weekly episodes, it’s finally the two year anniversary of the show. The official date, birthday, whatever one wants to call it, is September 10th, 2015. Podcasting comes with highs and lows, regardless of how much support a podcaster has surrounding them. To help MacKenzie celebrate, she brought on Jane Ellen, a past guest to talk about what they’ve learned, experienced and changed over their time podcasting. Thanks everyone for listening and subscribing to the show for the past two years. Many good things to come!

Glistening Particles – Take a listen to Jane Ellen’s show about conversations with random acquaintances and more.
Old PowerPress episode with Jane – From October of 2016.
She Podcasts – For any female podcasts our there, join this group. It’s full of great advise, conversations and ideas.

Podcasters’ Hangout, Podcast Community – There are more Facebook groups as well, search for them!
Columbus Podcaster’s Meetup – We meet at the end of every month – in September we’ll be talking about monetization.
