Podcast State of the Union - Blk Pod Festival

From the Keynote session from Blk Pod Festival, Podcast State of The Union,  Blk Pod Collective's founder Ona Oghogho, sits down  with Donald Albright, Sierra Reed, and Nidia Serrano. Donald is the President and Co-Founder of TenderFoot TV – an independent podcast production studio. Sierra is the Director of Podcasting at WABE and Nidia Serrano is the Senior Director of Podcast Marketing at SXM Media. Together, they discuss important matters as it pertains to the current landscape of the podcasting industry. They kick off the session by discussing what a podcast is – a question that might seem simple but seems to have a lot of discrepancies when it comes to the platforms and formats involved. Then, they discuss whether the rise of more social media platforms serves as competitors or companions for podcasters and their shows. They also share their thoughts on what is lacking and missing from big hosting platforms and what they’d like to see change. And as more big players enter the podcast ecosystem (such as HBO and Netflix), they discuss what this means for smaller, independent podcasters who don’t have the same budget to compete, and how they might be able to stand out in this space. This is a great episode for anyone who is interested or currently in the podcasting industry. So sit back and tune in to this episode to catch up to speed on the current state of podcasting.Support the show Become a Member Follow Us on Instagram Join Our Mailing List Get your tickets to Blk Pod Festival 2023 today, in Atlanta, GA, from September 30 - October 1, 2023!
