Fickle Podcasters And The Next Big Thing

Podcast Pontifications

What happened to all the tech advancements that were supposed to change podcasting forever and usher in a brand new era for us?

GTP-3 promised that machine learning algorithm would write better scripts and text for our podcasts. Drop-in or social audio was supposed to, if not replace podcasting, then at least be a viable option for podcasters who’d rather do a live show.

Back in 2014 I remember an audience member arguing to me during my Podcast Movement keynote that Stitcher would revolutionize how people listen to podcasts.

Today, we’ve nothing but breathless enthusiasm for Podcasting 2.0’s namespace changes they’re pushing forward and whatever new magic Descript is coming up with.

But keep this in mind: most podcasters aren't going to use these tools or services. They don't even know about these advances. And they’re just not interested in disrupting their own status quo.

That’s good news for us more forward-thinking podcasters. It means we don’t have to trip over ourselves to be the first to try something. And that when we do adopt new tools & tech into our podcasting, our shows stand apart from the masses.

So yes, find some time to play around with the next new thing, but do it on your schedule.

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. 5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more. We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
