Best Practices for Podcast Co-Hosts, Cloud Storage, and Avoiding Website Fiascos

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2383476/fan_mail/new">Send us feedback/questions via Text</a>In this episode we talk about the following: sharing stories about our moms for Mother’s Day, discussing the latest changes with Spotify’s video podcast distribution and the shift from RSS to API models, reflecting on how these changes could impact podcasting’s open ecosystem, and worrying about being locked into certain platforms. We also dive into the increasing use of AI in content creation, how to stand out in a world filled with “AI slop,” and what it means for trust and originality. We tackle questions about the future of websites for podcasters, how much editing is too much, and what makes a podcast worth listening to. Plus, we answer gear questions about shotgun microphones, debate the human connection in sports and comedy, and share thoughts on affordable tools for video editing—all while fielding lots of great input from the chat.Sponsors: <a href='https://www.podcastbranding.co/?utm_source=atpc&amp;utm_medium=shownotes'>PodcastBranding.co</a> - They see you before they hear you <a href='https://www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/?utm_source=atpc&amp;utm_medium=shownotes'>Basedonastruestorypodcast.com</a> - Comparing Hollywood with History? <a href='https://www.youtube.com/live/8q96qpaXAdE?si=KkrJu4vdbNDLuYKB'>Video Version </a>(unedited) Mentioned In This Episode School of Podcasting <a href='https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join'>https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join</a> Podpage <a href='http://www.trypodpage.com/'>http://www.trypodpage.com</a> Home Gadget Geeks <a href='http://www.theaverageguy.tv/'>http://www.theaverageguy.tv</a> <a href='https://wwww.podcasthotseat.com/'>Podcast Hot Seat</a><a href='https://geni.us/tomwebsterbook'>The Audience Is Listening Book</a>Featured Supporter: Jodi Krangle Check out her show: <a href='https://voiceoversandvocals.com/podcast/?utm_source=davej&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;utm_campaign=atpc'>Audio Branding the Hidden Gem of Marketing</a> Leave Your Question Go to <a href='https://www.askthepodcastcoach.com/voicemail'>askthepodcastcoach.com/voicemail</a> and leave your message to be answered on the next show.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.podcasthotseat.com/?utm_source=shownotes&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=atpc554">Podcast Hot Seat: Podcast Feedback</a> Get your show going in the right direction.

Send us feedback/questions via Text All-in-one podcast platforms are everywhere again, and they’re selling the same dream: one login, one bill, one magical dashboard that handles hosting, editing, video, email, websites, and growth.

We get honest about the real cost of remote interviews, why Zoom at $20 a month is not the villain, and how the market always moves from free to paid once tools have to support real users at scale.Sponsors: <a href='https://www.podcastbranding.co/?utm_source=atpc&amp;utm_medium=shownotes'>PodcastBranding.co</a> - They see you before they hear you <a href='https://www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/?utm_source=atpc&amp;utm_medium=shownotes'>Basedonastruestorypodcast.com</a> - Comparing Hollywood with History? <a href='https://youtube.com/live/rFbpaXNJOYk?feature=share'>Video Version </a>(unedited) Mentioned In This Episode School of Podcasting <a href='https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join'>https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join</a> Podpage <a href='http://www.trypodpage.com/'>http://www.trypodpage.com</a> Home Gadget Geeks <a href='http://www.theaverageguy.tv/'>http://www.theaverageguy.tv</a> <a href='https://wwww.podcasthotseat.com/'>Podcast Hot Seat</a>s<a href='https://www.clubhouse.com/'>Clubhouse</a><a href='https://supportthisshow.com/streamyard'>Streamyard</a><a href='https://supportthisshow.com/ecamm'>Ecamm</a> We also draw a hard line between a podcast and a YouTube-only show.
