<p>Independent podcasters are slowly losing control of their reach. In this episode, the PMS cast and crew talk with podcasting veteran Rob Greenlee about RSS, platform control, and AI-generated content. They explore why creators are being pushed into closed systems, how video and API distribution could erode podcasting's open foundation, and why trust keeps surfacing as the real problem underneath everything. The conversation also covers AI creeping into production, cloned voices, and the feeling many creators share when the tools move faster than they can keep up. You won't leave with easy answers, but you'll probably think differently about who actually owns your audience and your future in podcasting.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights:</strong></p><p>[01:51] Rob Greenlee Joins</p><p>[02:10] Podcasting 2.0 Fringe Debate</p><p>[04:55] Podcasting 2.0 Explained</p><p>[08:49] Rob’s Podcasting Origin Story</p><p>[11:40] Is RSS Still the Heart?</p><p>[14:57] APIs, HLS, and Platform Control</p><p>[24:58] What This Means for Indies</p><p>[28:15] AI in Podcasting: Trust and Slop</p><p>[37:16] Disclosure and Labeling Standards</p><p>[43:49] Wins of the Week Wrap-Up</p><p><strong>Links &amp; Resources:</strong></p><p>Content Creators Accountant:</p><p><a href="http://contentcreatorsaccountant.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">contentcreatorsaccountant.com</a></p><p>AI disclosure guidance site:</p><p><a href="http://shouldidisclose.ai" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldidisclose.ai</a></p><p>Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/spotlight" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlight</a></p><p>The Podcasting Morning Show:</p><p><a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠</a></p><p>Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/</a></p><p>Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠</a></p><p>Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Book A Free Call With Marc:</p><p><a href="https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall</a></p><p>Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:</p><p><a href="https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠</a></p><p>Join us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠</p><p><a href="http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/⁠⁠</a></p><p>Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p><a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/house/empowered-podcasting-e6nlrk0w%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouse⁠⁠</a></p><p>EPC3 Speaker Application:⁠⁠<a href="https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakers" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ⁠https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakers</a></p><p>Powered by<a href="http://ironickmedia.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠ and<a href="http://contentcreatorsaccountant.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠</a></p><p>Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠[email protected]⁠</a></p><p>Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?
