Podcasting 2.0 in Practice

Let's talk about the three main hurdles faced by podcasters and podcast listeners, and start to consider how Podcasting 2.0 can help us leap effortlessly over them.

Before we get onto the features – or tags – of Podcasting 2.0 – basically the things that you can do – I want to focus on why you need them and how they can help you, without going into the details of what they are – yet.

Features of Podcasting 2.0 can offer solutions to common problems that podcasts experience around:

• Discovery
• Interactivity
• Monetization

Sam Sethi and I look into how these problems affect podcasters and listeners, and touch on how the rest of this course will start to present solutions to these common problems.

Why have you made this podcast Claire? And why should we bother to listen?

In this introductory episode of Podcasting 2.0 in Practice, find out who I am and why I chose to make this show.

You'll also learn how the show works, since this is not a passive listen but an interactive course.

In this new course-style podcast we’ll look at the ways that Podcasting 2.0 features – also known as tags – can help podcast creators with discovery, interactivity, and monetization, and help listeners to support and contribute to the success of their favourite shows.

I will be joining you in your learning as I chat with guest experts and ask the questions

• What is the ‘thing’?

• How can it enhance my listening or podcasting experience?

• How do I do it?

The show features ‘learning’ and ‘practice’ episodes, so will guide you through the process of doing the ‘thing’ as a listener and a creator, including tailored guidance for specific apps and hosts, supplemented by imagery and links in the chapters – you’ll learn about those too!
