The Future of Podcasting

[Editor's note: Please check out the blog post for the editorial cartoon by John Cox & Allen Forkum, Instagram photos, and my tweet.] After doing some introspection, listening to fellow podcasters on different topics (e.g., hobby versus indie podcasters, and so called procasters / mainstream media radio broadcasters), and checking my book plan, I have decided to mix it up a bit and test a new podcast format and I will develop my workflow, over a period of time. This post has percolated for a couple of days, so I want to say cheers to the attendees at the podcasting conference, Podcast Movement. As my thoughts on the future on my podcasting have been sinking in and I have "chewed" on the challenges with the workflow of EGO NetCast, I stumbled upon a transcription service called Trint, thanks to Fizzle's blog post (10 Killer Links for Entrepreneurs in 2017) for Fizzle Show podcast, episode 226. After I have finished tinkering and pondering, I have to catch up with the backlog of my guests provided by PodcastGuests.com. Avery Breyer - planned for the month of July. Ash Said It - planned for this month, August. In the pipeline: A follow-up conversation with Ileane Smith. Read her post, The Future of Blogging. An EGO Search on Jenn Herman of Jenn Trends. Read Jenn's post, Which Instagram Metrics Really Matter? An EGO Search on StargatePioneer of Better Podcasting. Listen to episode 93, Embracing Emerging Internet Trends. Through the grapevine: A guy who picked my brain in a positive way asked me about the optimal length of a podcast. He will launch his podcast in September. I have become Nita Silverspjuth’s web PT, and she will launch her podcast, Management Studio (in Swedish), in September. I am working with a couple of members of the Swedish Civil Protection Association, in Gothenburg, as they will start their own podcast on the notion of being prepared for 72 hours… In November I will talk about the future of podcasting regarding new technologies, trends, and the potentialities for the podcast industry, at a podcast conference in Stockholm.
