Whoa.We're back!Jerod Morris and Jonny Nastor and reunite to talk podcasting ... for the first time in almost 18 months! We are actually killing two birds with one stone: a Lunch & Learn for folks in the Unemployable Initiative (a community that Jerod runs) and a new episode for this long-dormant Showrunner feed.Learn more about the community: http://unenployable.com/communityWe cover:• Takeaways from the annual Infinite Dial survey on the podcasting industry.• Why our four pillars of successful are still just as important now as when we developed them; in fact, they are probably more important.• What authenticity in podcasting actually means.• Why it's not just about connection anymore, but about developing something on top of that.• Umm ... what is a "podcast" anymore?• What impact with Spotify and other streaming services have on listening habits and the way we should think about our podcasts.• A few technological advancements worth considering.• A massive podcasting opportunity that not a lot of people are considering.We also answer several questions from the live folks:• How do you promote a new podcast and drive attention to it?• What should you consider if you have a thick accent?• Are short-form podcasts a good option for hyperlocal websites?And more. It was a jam-packed conversation. And you know what? It was just really fun. The Showrunner podcast worked because Jonny and Jerod have a lot of respect for each other, good chemistry, and different viewpoints. I think all of that was still there 18 months later. :-)
