Instagram’s New Algorithm Change Podcasters Can’t Ignore

What if we told you Instagram is rolling out a way for users to control their own algorithm and decide what they see? That experiment alone has big implications for podcast discovery and creator visibility. For today’s news day, we’re walking through several updates, such as Apple Podcasts adding automatic chapters and timed links. We also dig into recent AI updates that are making image editing easier and opening the door for new collaborative workflows, especially for creators working in teams. We also highlight several upcoming virtual and in-person events that podcasters may want to keep on their radar.Episode Highlights:[02:04] Preview of an upcoming evaluation episode[04:16] Podcast statistics and top charts[11:13] Upcoming events for podcasters[25:51] Exploring new AI features[26:28] ChatGPT’s image generator[31:20] Group chat feature in ChatGPT[36:24] Empowered Podcasting Conference video library[39:04] Instagram’s algorithm customization tools[43:38] Instagram’s move into a TV app[45:00] Apple’s podcast interaction updatesLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Our upcoming podcast evaluation, Shared Delights (Wedding Crasher): https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pfvQbyTC2J4j7f07RlgTb?si=DAciGVe4TRqSeyq5Glnb3wShared Delights Naked Eureka: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gIMkfSyZDCZb07Jzzlx5pMeetUp & MatchUp use discount code PMC for free entry: https://podnews.net/event/meetup-matchup-with-podcasters-speakers-and-authors-20Podfest Expo:  (use coupon code MARC for 10% off)https://podfestexpo.comNYC Podcast Awards: www.silver-nyc.com/nycpodcastawardsPRX Training: https://trainingteam.cmail20.com/t/i-e-zavil-iihydjihuh-h/PodNews: www.podnews.netPodcast Creator Summit: https://confirmsubscription.com/h/i/711FAA94F8F3A173Apple’s Next Move for Podcast Interaction:https://bit.ly/4iZtr2tRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
