545. Riverside 2.0 and The Future of Podcast Creation | Podcast News

Podcasting keeps changing, and creators are constantly deciding which tools, platforms, and formats are worth their time. In this episode, the morning show cast and crew discuss the future of podcast creation, including Riverside and other AI-powered production tools, all-in-one workflows, video, newsletters, audience behavior, and why listeners often follow creators instead of platforms. The conversation looks at what these changes mean for independent podcasters without losing sight of what keeps people coming back. Here's the thing: new technology, including platforms like Riverside, can make creating easier, but strong relationships with your audience still matter most.Episode Highlights:[05:50] Podcast Stats and the Summer Slump[13:59] Midyear Money Checkup[20:09] News Bites: Mel Robbins Goes Audio-First[21:57] The Audio vs. Video Editing Debate[27:18] Why Audio Still Comes First[31:23] Car Brands, Radio, and Listening Habits[34:32] CarPlay, Radio, and Earbuds[39:23] Tech Updates: Substack and Captivate[48:15] The Risks of All-in-One Platforms[53:30] Why Fans Follow CreatorsLinks & Resources:Mid-Year Money Check by Ralph Estep:contentcreatorsaccountant.com/blog/mid-year-money-checkRiverside's Big Announcement:riverside.com/blog/riverside-2-0Podcast SEO Workshop (Arielle Nissenblatt):luma.com/p9u6idp5People Follow Creators, Not Platforms:podnews.net/press-release/podcast-atlasSubstack Recording Studio:https://on.substack.com/p/introducing-the-substack-recording Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠Powered by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠[email protected]⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?
