Not everyone is fit to host a podcast, not at the beginning at least. There is a lot of learning that goes into hosting a podcast, writing show notes, finding guests, learning how to interview, the list goes on and on. But the guest this week, Lara, was aware of what she was getting into with a strong background in marketing. They discuss attending events, with the perspective as an attendee and exhibitor, and how they’ve been the fish out of water before. It’s easy to get overwhelmed or lost in the work involved with a podcast, and she has a great outlook on how to tackle everything involved. Speaking of being overwhelmed, they end their chat by talking about streaming services – is there too much content available?

Household names have become persistent in podcasting, and Sunday evening's episode of the Simpson's and a new show called Newt's World are no exception. Longtime podcaster Marc Maron was a guest on the Simpson's recently and his character interviewed Krusty. Well-known politician, Newt Gingrich, has a new podcast on society. Many would argue that well-known names like Marc and Newt flood the podcasting space, but they certainly do bring some more popularity to the medium. This week Mike was joined by a relatively new intern, Grant Coleman. He's working with the team in Columbus as a developer.

Sometimes, podcasting is as easy as setting a schedule and sticking to it. Sure, there are a myriad of other factors that go into the production, publishing, etc. but there is no show if you can’t sit down and record. Sarah Duncan and Pamela Walker-Dees know a thing or two about managing schedules and they decided Monday evenings were their go-to recording schedule for their podcast, Motherhood on Tap.

And in the theme of setting schedules, we might have reordered this one a bit too early. A big topic of discussion on this episode was about Spotify purchasing Gimlet and in the time between recording and publishing, it happened. Regardless, still some good discussion on the topic, as well as Apple stepping up their game a bit once again by providing more opportunities for listeners and creators.

301 Redirects: Why you need them when you change from one feed to another. Do things in the correct order to avoid losing subscribers.
How RSS works: Publish a post and WAIT for the directories to PULL your episode. Subscribers will get the episode quite quickly EVEN if the episode is not listed on Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. We hate to keep saying this, but new people are unaware it’s a PUSH and it’s really a PULL. 24 hours is not uncommon for new episodes to appear.
PowerPress settings series: Website and Destinations tabs explained a bit more.

Todd should be back next episode.
