Matt Cundill, Jon Gay, Johnny Podcasts and eventually David Yas explore the shifting landscape of podcast production and distribution. We talked about Apple's Podcasts video rollout and asked if it has reached meaningful adoption among creators and listeners. We examine new measurement standards proposed by the Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting, including redefined metrics for plays and ad impressions that could reshape how the industry values downloads. The story was breaking as we were recording so if you want a better understanding, click here on the story from Ashley Carmen (paywalled), Sounds Profitable or check out the interview with Dan Granger on the Podnews Weekly Review.

Later in the show, Johnny demonstrates his creation, Podcast Engine AI, a custom tool he built to streamline show notes, social posts, and metadata generation from transcripts.

Catherine O'Brien was attending an event and was missed. Especially when we were talking about marketing and Apple.

Other Things We Talked About:

- The challenge of solo podcasting compared to interview shows and how to approach it authentically

- Why YouTube Premium's bundling strategy signals a larger consolidation trend in media

- How AI tools like Riverside's editor and Descript's clip generator are compressing production timelines
