S9 E6 - Joe Kay

This week, long-time guest Joe Kay joins us to catch up on his show, the Play That Rock n' Roll podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@PlayThatPodcast) and discuss the evolving world of podcasting. We chat about Joe's recent trips to Nashville and Los Angeles, where he networked with other creators and interviewed legendary musicians like bassist Billy Sheehan. Our conversation explores the current "podcast bubble," Spotify's shift away from major celebrity contracts, and the industry-wide pivot toward video content on platforms like Netflix. We also dive into the frustrations of dealing with YouTube's automated AI bots and algorithms that often make it difficult for viewers to find the content they actually follow. Along the way, we discuss strategies for building an audience outside of social media, Joe’s take on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame debate, his upcoming move into live streaming and much, much more! Enjoy!
