Send us feedback/questions via TextIn this episode we talk about the following: sharing stories about our moms for Mother’s Day, discussing the latest changes with Spotify’s video podcast distribution and the shift from RSS to API models, reflecting on how these changes could impact podcasting’s open ecosystem, and worrying about being locked into certain platforms. We also dive into the increasing use of AI in content creation, how to stand out in a world filled with “AI slop,” and what it means for trust and originality. We tackle questions about the future of websites for podcasters, how much editing is too much, and what makes a podcast worth listening to. Plus, we answer gear questions about shotgun microphones, debate the human connection in sports and comedy, and share thoughts on affordable tools for video editing—all while fielding lots of great input from the chat.Sponsors:PodcastBranding.co - They see you before they hear youBasedonastruestorypodcast.com - Comparing Hollywood with History?Video Version (unedited)Mentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcastinghttps://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/joinPodpagehttp://www.trypodpage.comHome Gadget Geekshttp://www.theaverageguy.tvPodcast Hot SeatThe Audience Is Listening BookFeatured Supporter Chris StoneCast Ahead has carved a niche in the podcasting industry by providing full-spectrum podcast production services tailored to each client’s unique needs See castahead.net Leave Your QuestionGo to askthepodcastcoach.com/voicemail and leave your message to be answered on the next show.Podcast Hot Seat: Podcast FeedbackGet your show going in the right direction.
