  • The New Rules of Podcasting with Jay Nachlis, Coleman Insights

    The New Rules of Podcasting with Jay Nachlis, Coleman Insights
    2023/11/02
    Jay Nachlis leads the podcasting and digital initiatives for Coleman Insights. Along with Steve Goldstein at Amplifi Media, they released "The New Rules of Podcasting" which was a deep dive into the behaviour of podcast consumers. Jay is kind enough to join us to talk about the findings. This is a study that was unveiled at Podcast Movement back in August, and has reverberated throughout the podcast an content creation community. Do you have to have a video to accompany your podcast? Do you have to have a video strategy? Why is this happening? In this episode you will hear why the study used the word "consume" instead of "listen" or "watch" to avoid bias in a study on podcast consumption; also consumer perceptions and brand research are lacking in the podcasting industry, despite abundant analytics. Jay acknowledges that there will always be subjectivity in how consumers view a podcast and its format, and that it's okay for there to be confusion, and that podcasts don't necessarily need to be in video format, and that it depends on the podcast and its subject matter. Jay also emphasized the importance of building brand awareness and perceived value through podcasting, rather than just relying on platform-specific metrics. Also Jay suggests that podcasters should consider wider distribution opportunities, such as YouTube, to reach a broader audience and increase brand visibility. A transcription of this episode is here. If you would like to know more about the study, reach out to Jay Nachlis at Coleman Insights or Steve Goldstein at Amplifi Media.

  • Stop It! Just Stop it!

    Stop It! Just Stop it!
    2023/10/10
    The Podcast Superfriends dive into the things they want you to stop doing when making podcasts. Here are a few of the things they want you to stop. Jon Gay: Asking for ratings and reviews at the end of a podcast is less egregious but still not effective. Matt Cundill shares his frustration with the common practice of including a microphone in podcast artwork, citing it as a cliché and a missed opportunity for creativity. Catherine O'Brien suggests dropping the teaser at the beginning of a podcast and getting straight to the content. Johnny Podcasts is pro teasers at the front of his podcast, believing they help set the tone and emotionally invest listeners in what's to come. David Yas emphasizes the importance of quality audio for podcasts, particularly in terms of microphone and internet connection. Also, all the hosts share their disdain for the Blue Yeti Microphone. And that's just the first 15 minutes. A transcription of the episode is available here.
