WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD
Video Clips May Boost Podcast Discovery Amid Potential Ban

The platform, which might soon face prohibition, has been promoted as a tool for finding new podcasts. However, even popular podcasters have noticed that the link between audience interaction and downloads isn't always reliable. The general belief is that video is crucial to discovering new podcasts: you select the best parts from your show, aim for it to become trending on TikTok occasionally, and then attract a larger (and younger) audience who become your regular listeners.

In a revolutionary step to connect video and audio content, Blubrry Podcasting has unveiled Vid2Pod. This new tool easily turns YouTube channel playlists into top-notch audio podcasts.

Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles, both former participants of the Golden Bachelor, are joining forces to present Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour. They'll discuss various topics including life, love and relationships in this show. The inaugural episode will be aired on March 28.

Podcasting has seen a surge in popularity over the last two years. The common use of smartphones and easy access to the internet have caused a major increase in demand for audio content, including podcasts. As this form of entertainment becomes more mainstream, consumers can select their preferred content. This continuous growth provides an excellent chance for brands to reach out and connect with their audience.

PODCAST TIP OF THE DAY
Choose the Best Podcast Hosting Platforms for You

Getting your podcast online isn't just about recording it on your computer. Sharing it can also be a bit complicated, especially if you want to put it directly onto your website. Podcasts are usually big files and they need lots of server space and fast internet connections for smooth streaming to listeners. This is why you should use a podcast hosting platform to get your podcasts out there. But don't get too stressed out by all the choices out there - just focus on what you need right now.
