00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,120
Good morning podcasters.
Today is Wednesday, May 14th,
2
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,840
2025 and today is Newsday.
We're going to tell you about
3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,120
all the events happening all
over the podcasting world and a
4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,440
few other goodies.
And if you're listening via
5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,320
podcast, please share this
episode with a fellow podcaster.
6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,680
And now give us about 30 seconds
ish and we'll get to things.
7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,240
We'll get things rolling.
And as always, thanks for being
8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:01:24,920
here.
Good morning, podcasters.
9
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,960
I'm Dr. Fey.
I am filling in for Mark, who is
10
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,800
still in.
Where is he now?
11
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Is he in Portugal?
Is he in Spain?
12
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,040
He's over there.
He's having a great time, but we
13
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,560
are looking forward to having
him come back on stage.
14
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:51,000
With me is Ashley, Dan,
Jonathan, Nick, Sid, Amanda, and
15
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,800
James is joining us today.
Thank you so much.
16
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,360
How is everyone today?
So I had three ice breaker
17
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,440
questions that I had people vote
on and they came up with option
18
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,280
number C.
So here is the ice breaker
19
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,240
question today.
If AI could instantly handle
20
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,120
one, just one podcasting task
for you forever, what would that
21
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200
task be?
And remember, oh, Ashley, go
22
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,520
ahead.
So technically you could do this
23
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,160
if you have Operator, but I'm
not ready to splurge and I think
24
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,200
it's 200 bucks a month for
Operator.
25
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,240
But it would be to always
correctly number my podcast
26
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,280
episodes.
I have this thing with numbers.
27
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240
If you asked me to write down a
series of numbers, I would
28
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120
probably get some of them wrong.
So I'm super self-conscious when
29
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,960
it comes to numbering podcast.
So if I could have AI make sure
30
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,160
those numbers are always right,
that would be great.
31
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,640
I guess some platforms have it
to where you can put bonus
32
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,200
episodes and the ones that don't
have that bonus episode feature,
33
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,920
it screws up all the numbers.
All the numbers.
34
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,840
Jonathan, I see your hand up.
I would love if it automatically
35
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,560
spit out SEO optimize show notes
and a title.
36
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
But can't you do that with the
right prompt?
37
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Yeah, but I want it to happen
automatically, like not even
38
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040
thinking about it.
Like it records it in a poof.
39
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,480
It's there the right with the
right title.
40
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Right, right.
And I would be amiss if I didn't
41
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,440
call out Nick on this.
He is our resident AI guy I.
42
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320
I don't know if they use AI.
So many things already, yeah.
43
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480
I know, and that's why.
It's a weird thing.
44
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,840
The.
The thing I use the most would
45
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,120
probably be more along the lines
of what Jonathan's talking about
46
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,880
for SU optimized other content.
So I personally like taking the
47
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560
audio or video content and then
turning that into more content.
48
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,280
So I will take a podcast
episode, turn it into a blog
49
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,320
post, or take a YouTube video
and then have AI and then slide
50
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,200
down into a blog post so that
you're not just creating one
51
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,760
piece of content.
When you do finish an episode or
52
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,519
a video, you're actually turning
out multiple pieces which give
53
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,920
you more opportunities for SEO
because now you have more
54
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,480
content on the topic and
websites.
55
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,880
SEO, at least as of right now,
still love the rich media on the
56
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,560
pages.
So additional videos, audio,
57
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760
pictures to compliment the blog
posts.
58
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,560
That's something I was actually
doing a lot with the YouTube
59
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,240
videos is create a YouTube
video, get it turned into a
60
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,800
blog, publish the blog and
actually embed the video right
61
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,160
on that page and that can help a
lot, as he was.
62
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,480
One, thank you.
I appreciate it.
63
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,840
Good.
Good morning.
64
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,080
I would say that I want AI to do
everything related to guest
65
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,760
management.
So finding the guests free,
66
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,240
interviewing the guests,
scheduling the episode, giving
67
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
me notes about what I should
talk about, what I should ask
68
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760
the guests of, anything in their
thank you notes, like follow up,
69
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040
all that, anything relative to
guest management.
70
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,160
I agree guest management is
tough.
71
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,360
I don't know what my answer
would be because isn't a lot of
72
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800
this stuff already.
I mean, you can prompt it to the
73
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,920
hilt, right?
I consider myself a pretty good
74
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960
prompter.
Every now and then I get screwed
75
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,400
up and I have to go to knit and
say how would you prompt this?
76
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,800
And also, I kind of feel that I
am getting overwhelmed with SEO,
77
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,880
that I'm kind of losing the
other aspects of podcasting,
78
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,920
that everything is the chase,
the SEO chase, and I'm starting
79
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400
to resent it a little bit within
myself.
80
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,680
That's all within myself.
So I'm thinking of just
81
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800
outsourcing the whole SEO thing.
That's what I'm thinking of
82
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,640
doing because I want to start
loving what I'm doing again and
83
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,160
I just don't love the whole
world with SEO.
84
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,040
That's where I'm at today.
I'm.
85
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Going to jump in here.
Yeah, go ahead.
86
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,360
One, once we get to the AI news,
remind me to address Jonathan
87
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,560
and Sid's comments about AI.
But two, on the the SEO side of
88
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,680
things, you have to remember
like SEO for one is a moving
89
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,280
target.
So it's always going to be
90
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:43,280
changing and it's if it's not
your full time job to do SEO,
91
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,960
there's no possible way that you
could ever account for every
92
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,520
aspect of SEO.
There's a lot of times when we
93
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,960
talk about here in the room is
just the on page SEO, what
94
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,040
people are seeing.
And there's a whole other back
95
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,960
end side technically that plays
into SEO as well.
96
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,120
And it can be incredibly
overwhelming.
97
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,320
So rather than totally
overwhelming yourself, beating
98
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,400
yourself down because there's
too much to do, focus on a few
99
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,280
elements.
Focus on your titles, focus on
100
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,720
your subheading, focus on the
linking, how you link your pages
101
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,400
to each other.
Like little things that you do
102
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,120
can make a big impact.
And you don't have to spend your
103
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880
entire life worrying about every
aspect of SEO.
104
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,800
As long as you can get some of
the the major things down,
105
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,080
you're going to be way better
off than a lot of people who are
106
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,320
out there doing their podcasts
and just slapping something
107
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,680
together and throwing them on a
website.
108
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,360
So don't let it overwhelm you.
Just focus on a few things that
109
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760
you can control and that you
know you can focus on and it's
110
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,560
easy to kind of knock off the
list.
111
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160
Just those little things can
make a big impact.
112
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Yeah, words of wisdom.
Oh, look who came up on stage.
113
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680
Oh, look who went back down into
the audience.
114
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,000
That was fast.
OK, well, Mark was here for a
115
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,520
second and then he he left.
So.
116
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Oh, he's coming back up.
Let's see if you can give us a
117
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,160
little something.
Something.
118
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,720
Very good morning.
Hello, Mark.
119
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Good morning.
How are you?
120
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,800
I'm doing well.
We are currently walking over to
121
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,080
a boat to take a ride, but about
a three hour tour.
122
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,159
And for for those that might
know that reference.
123
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,559
And then we're going to they're
going to take us both dolphins
124
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,840
watching and also through all
these beautiful caves.
125
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,400
So we're going to spend most of
the most of the afternoon doing
126
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,080
that today.
But yeah, good to hear you guys
127
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,120
and good to talk to you guys.
Good to hear you.
128
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,080
We can hardly wait for you to
come back.
129
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,600
I'm excited.
I actually I do.
130
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,800
I really miss you guys and I'm
looking forward to jumping back
131
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,320
in.
It's been a great trip and I was
132
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,280
just telling my wife I'm I'm
having a little bit of creative
133
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,400
withdrawal.
Even though I'm thoroughly
134
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,440
enjoying myself here.
There's something about, I don't
135
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,560
know, it's been almost two weeks
and I just feel like it would be
136
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,400
really nice to get back to it.
So I actually posted something
137
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,280
this morning just to get some of
the creative juices out.
138
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,320
Awesome.
Good to see you Mark.
139
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,000
OK, so we are going to resume
our news and Ashley is going to
140
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,360
help me today with some things
that Mark usually reads off and
141
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,880
so Ashley take it away.
Thanks, VR.
142
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,280
Let's start with the top podcast
as of May 13th, 2025.
143
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,720
Here's a quick look at who's
sitting at top of the charts at
144
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,400
#1 The number one show is the
Mel Robbins podcast, and that's
145
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280
for Apple.
And as far as Spotify goes, the
146
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360
number one show is, I bet you
can guess it, that is the Joe
147
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,000
Rogan Experience.
Shocker.
148
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,440
And as far as podcasts
published, there are 202,699
149
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,240
podcasts published at least one
new episode over the past week,
150
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,160
and that is down slightly, about
0.8% lower than the previous
151
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720
week.
But it's still a huge sign
152
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920
showing the creators are staying
consistent.
153
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,000
And you've got the next one
right, DRI?
154
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,040
Do and by the way, most of this
news comes straight from Pod
155
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,200
News and we have James Credlin
on stage with us.
156
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,880
So James, thank you so much for
being such a great source for
157
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,240
us.
We really appreciate you.
158
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,680
Let's see Spotify, I don't think
we have the drum roll without
159
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:46,640
Mark here, but that's OK.
So #5 on Spotify is the daily #4
160
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,840
is good.
Hang with Amy Poehler #3 this is
161
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:57,880
a surprise for me #3 is Club
Random with Bill Maher #2 is
162
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,320
this past weekend with Theo Von
and #1 We all know Joe.
163
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:08,600
OK, so I don't think that I have
seen Club Random in the top five
164
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440
ever.
I mean, since at least since
165
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,320
we've been doing calling out the
charts and the random chart of
166
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,240
the week.
This week is going to be
167
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,840
business.
So #5 is the Game with Alex
168
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,040
hermosi #4 is the Morning Brew
Daily.
169
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,280
I actually really enjoyed that.
Morning Brew Daily is number 4
170
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:35,400
#3 is PD.
I'm sorry I screwed it up.
171
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,280
PBD podcast #2 is the Ramsey
Show.
172
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,720
And number one, I mean, this is
kind of like a Joe Rogan thing.
173
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,080
Number one is Diary of a CEO
with Stephen Bartlett.
174
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120
So that was through the charts.
And what we're going to do is
175
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,520
we're going to go straight to
Nick.
176
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,880
I know he has an early leave, so
we're going to go straight to
177
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Nick for some AI news.
Take it away, Nick.
178
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Before I get to the news, I do
want to address quickly what
179
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Jonathan and Sid were talking
about and that was the
180
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,160
automation of a lot of the AI
things that they want to do.
181
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,720
So SEO titles, show notes, blog
posts, content, etcetera.
182
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,680
So right now in the AI tools
themselves, as I'm sure you guys
183
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,760
all know, ChatGPT, Gemini,
etcetera, without prompting
184
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760
that, without physically going
to it and saying, hey, give me
185
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,000
this thing.
There isn't a way to just have
186
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000
it do it for you necessarily.
But with tools like Make and
187
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,440
Zapier, you can make that
automation happen.
188
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,720
And it's actually a very similar
process to what I was doing with
189
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,000
the AI briefing to basically set
a trigger to be OK when I drop a
190
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
transcript from this episode or
when I dropped a script in.
191
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,040
I want you to carry out tasks XY
and Z and for the AI Briefing
192
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,840
that include give me a title for
the episode, give me a
193
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,560
description of show notes for
the episode, give me YouTube
194
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,200
tags that I can include in that.
And all of that was set up
195
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,400
through make.
And just before you called my
196
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,800
name, I was looking through the
YouTube videos that we have on
197
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,720
the Night Stream podcaster
channel because I did do a
198
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,000
pretty in depth tutorial on
make.com and I want to share
199
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080
that in the show notes.
If I can find that link here,
200
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,440
I'll put it in the chat as well
because it's a pretty simple
201
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,320
tool to use.
And this could bring you some of
202
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,800
that automation that you're
looking for, Jonathan and Sid,
203
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,080
where you get done recording the
episode, you transcribe or you
204
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,120
drop the episode in.
And that essentially triggers an
205
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,960
entire workflow of AI content.
It can save you a lot of time,
206
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,760
even if it's not perfect first
time around.
207
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Like you basically are setting
up a prompt ahead of time that
208
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760
says grab this file, grab this
transcript, grab this, whatever
209
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,040
and run that prompt.
And it it is a pretty powerful
210
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,200
workflow. make.com actually is,
as far as I recall, I think it's
211
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,080
free for so many scenarios that
you want to run and you can get
212
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,480
a lot done in a single scenario.
So I'll kind of find that link,
213
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,880
but said, I see.
Yeah, you kind of.
214
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,840
So I just want to simplify this
for those of us in the room that
215
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,640
need simplification.
So I grab a transcript from the
216
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Google folder and I go to stat
GPT and drop the transcript in
217
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,840
there.
I ask it to write a e-mail and a
218
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,680
LinkedIn post about based on the
transcript about that podcast.
219
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,440
I grabbed bus sprouts blog and
edit it and use it.
220
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,960
But in theory, basically what
you're saying is I could make
221
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,640
all of that automated, right by
dropping the transcript into
222
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,800
make or whatever and say these
are the tasks that I want you to
223
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,720
do.
And a few minutes later all
224
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,000
those tasks are done.
And did I simplify that enough,
225
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,680
Nick?
It's even SIM.
226
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,080
Yeah, that, that was good, good
breakdown.
227
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,360
And it's even simpler than that.
Once that file hits your Google
228
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,840
Drive, that starts the
automation.
229
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,200
So you don't even have to take
that file and you're saving
230
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,880
everything into Google Drive.
As soon as that file hits Google
231
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,880
Drive, that triggers the
automation.
232
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Or you can set it up on a
specific time to run.
233
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,280
You can set up a bunch of
different triggers like that.
234
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,960
But yeah, as soon as that file
hits Google Drive, it starts
235
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,360
running it through the workflow.
And that workflow, the way I had
236
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,440
it set up in the video link that
I just shared in the chat, it
237
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,600
automatically calls out to
ChatGPT or Gemini wherever you
238
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,680
want to call out to and starts
running the whole post thing.
239
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,040
OK, so one last question.
So could I also tell it to go
240
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,040
publish the blog in Kajabi and
go write the e-mail in Kajabi
241
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,440
and send it to my list at on
Tuesday at 9:15 in the morning?
242
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Can I even go that detailed with
it?
243
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
I would have to verify if Kajabi
is one of the connected apps.
244
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,280
I'm not positive if that is or
not, but if as long as it
245
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,960
supports Kajabi, I'd be willing
to bet that that's possible.
246
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,280
I know they zappier and make
they both basically connect to
247
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,400
different applications and as
long as they already have a
248
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,080
connection built, they already
have prebuilt like publish A
249
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,760
blog post or schedule a
newsletter kind of thing.
250
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,400
So we just have to make sure
that Kajabi was one of those
251
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,480
supported apps.
But yeah.
252
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,920
OK, so I.
Mean the the transcript, TBT and
253
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Bosprout saved me a lot of time.
Usually this task per episode
254
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,600
takes me Takes me about an hour
to get the blog post copied,
255
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,360
uploaded, published with the
specific date to publish in
256
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,560
Kajabi, the e-mail.
The LinkedIn post usually takes
257
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,000
me about an hour to do all that.
So what you're saying is if I
258
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,560
can figure out how to set all
this up, it could end up taking
259
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,080
me 5 minutes to do it if it
works fully.
260
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,720
So that's saving quite a bit of
time.
261
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,280
So it's a great example.
Thank you, Nick.
262
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,520
Yeah, absolutely.
I would check out that video.
263
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,480
Ashley is going to put it in the
show notes hopefully.
264
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,240
I actually said putting this in
my notes perfect.
265
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,400
So I would definitely check that
video out.
266
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,520
It's a it's more specific to how
I was doing the AI briefing, but
267
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,000
the setup like the concept of
how it all works is you'll get a
268
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,839
pretty good grasp on how it
works.
269
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,319
But then if we need to sit down
or if anyone's interested and
270
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,720
talking about their specific use
case or like you said, wanting
271
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,040
to connect to Kajabi and stuff
like that, we can hop on a call
272
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
maybe and kind of go through
that a little bit more.
273
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,760
But yeah, definitely, in my
opinion, Zapier, everyone talks
274
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,200
about Zapier.
I think make is a lot easier to
275
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,320
use my personal preference.
Now as far as the news goes, one
276
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,360
of the big things that I saw
this week with ChatGPT.
277
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Some of you may know that they
have this function inside of
278
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,480
ChatGPT called research and you
can basically give it a topic,
279
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,000
give it a something that you
want to go deep into.
280
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Then you can tell ChatGPT to do
that research for you.
281
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,200
They'll spend a significant
amount of time, like it'll go
282
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,920
520, sometimes even 30 minutes
digging through coming the web,
283
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,600
finding all the information it
can on that topic.
284
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,360
And one of the kind of features
they added into that was being
285
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:26,000
able to generate APDF report out
of that research that it
286
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,120
created, which doesn't sound too
crazy.
287
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,720
But one of the examples I wanted
to share, one that I actually
288
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,040
used recently and actually a
different tool, not chat you can
289
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,760
teach specifically, but same
kind of concept, was shortly
290
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:50,320
after Mark had talked about J
Klaus recognizing that we were
291
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,280
talking about his episode and
he's talking with Jay about
292
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
getting an interview done on the
show.
293
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,160
I thought, I wonder if AI could
do some like deep research on
294
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:06,880
Jay, find content topics,
questions to discuss, kind of
295
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,840
dig into Jay's history a little
bit and generate a report for
296
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,400
me, almost like a prep sheet for
the host.
297
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,480
So I set AI on that task and it
went deep.
298
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,960
It went through basically Jay's
entire career, from the
299
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,000
beginning of his creative
elements show to the communities
300
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,040
and things he's building now, to
some of the interviews that he
301
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,440
conducted on his show, and
basically spit out this very
302
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,320
detailed PDF report for me.
And then it went as far as
303
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,400
bringing up some possible
interview questions, some
304
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,360
actually really more deep
interview questions that I
305
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:55,440
probably would have thought of
on my own and basically combined
306
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,040
with all into one report.
I know some podcasts, some of
307
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,120
the bigger podcast hosts, they
have people that'll go do the
308
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:08,200
research forum, give somebody
APDF and say, here you go.
309
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,880
Here's everything you need to
know about the guests that's
310
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,080
going on your show.
Have at it.
311
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,200
And that's kind of their
research.
312
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,840
And this is kind of.
Able to serve as that research
313
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:22,160
you say I'm going to be having
Sid Meadows on my show.
314
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,560
I need you to tell me everything
you can about Sid Meadows as it
315
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,160
relates to my podcast and help
me develop the the outline for
316
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,600
the show essentially.
And that's kind of how I see
317
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,520
this ChatGPT, this deep
research, even the PDF
318
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,040
functionality of it playing.
So I'll leave it at that.
319
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,600
I'm talking quite a bit.
Any thoughts on that kind of
320
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600
functionality?
Would you guys use it?
321
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,880
I think it would depend on the
price point to be honest with
322
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,680
you.
So I used deep research before
323
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Nick once before only once and
it comes with my $20 membership
324
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,720
to chat TPT a month, right?
And I think you only get like 5
325
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
or 6 of them and it took it
about 30 minutes or so and I
326
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,920
don't even remember the top.
Oh, I was asking it to do
327
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,320
research about small business
manufacturers in the office
328
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,000
furniture industry to give me
some statistics and things that
329
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,160
I could use to potentially write
articles about or we could use
330
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,640
on, you know, social media, that
kind of stuff, right?
331
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,880
And it took it.
So it was a topic that, you
332
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,560
know, I can spend hours
researching, but it took about
333
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,360
25 minutes.
So it came up with some really,
334
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:29,000
really good stuff and reference
some great articles that we're
335
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,240
able to capture.
So I've used it.
336
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,200
I think it's great.
You just got to really know what
337
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,800
it is you want to research
before you ask it because it
338
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640
takes so much time.
I think that's a very good
339
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,000
point, having the prompt ready
to go.
340
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,720
I guess something like that, if
you're going to do guest
341
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,440
research, giving it the
background of your podcasts,
342
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,360
understanding maybe the
direction that you want to go
343
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,440
with the show or where the
direction you're thinking you
344
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,400
want to go with the show.
Feeding all that upfront is
345
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,440
definitely huge.
But Dr., to your point,
346
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,080
depending on how much it costs,
if you have a ChatGPT Plus
347
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,240
subscription, you already have
access to Deep research and it's
348
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,040
just a little button underneath
the little text box there that
349
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,320
says Deep research, and you
click that, turn that on, it'll
350
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,520
automatically be in deep
Research mode.
351
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,760
Yeah, I'm on the the $20.00 a
month tier.
352
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Do you know how many I would
get?
353
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,080
Is it a day or a month?
So do you know is it?
354
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:27,160
I think.
I'm not sure if it's five, it's
355
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,400
a month.
DRI think you get 5 a month is
356
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,800
what I think.
I've only used it one time,
357
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,600
right.
So but again, I think you have
358
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,280
to be very intense about you
have to be very intentional
359
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,280
about what it is you're trying
to research and why you want to
360
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,680
research that thing.
Because a lot of times you can
361
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,400
just ask a prompter or ask a
question to ChatGPT is going to
362
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,480
give you information.
But if you feel like you really
363
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960
need to go deeper, then you want
to click that deep research
364
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,680
mode.
So you just got to be
365
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,920
intentional about what it is
you're trying to research, why
366
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,160
you're trying to research it.
What do you hope to do with the
367
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,240
information that you get?
Because I think a lot of times
368
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,280
that, you know, ChatGPT or any
of the other platforms will give
369
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,960
you the basis of what you're
looking for without having to go
370
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,600
into the deep research and using
your tokens, if you will, for
371
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,040
deep research.
Excellent, Nick, thank you so
372
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,400
much.
I appreciate the the AI news
373
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720
today.
Was there anything else on your
374
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,640
on your agenda?
No, that is that is what I got.
375
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,080
I didn't want to hog the show
today.
376
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:28,080
That is your AI news for today.
OK, Well, Jonathan, I think that
377
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,960
you have a couple of things to
say about social media, in the
378
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,760
social media news.
What is going on in the social
379
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,480
media world today, Jonathan?
Yeah, so just a few updates in
380
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,600
the social media world this
week.
381
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Facebook does have some
algorithm updates.
382
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,600
They've implemented some
algorithm changes that
383
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,960
prioritize authentic
interactions and reduce spammy
384
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,520
content, including irrelevant
captions, excessive hashtags,
385
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,640
and engagement baiting.
So they're minimizing the reach
386
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,040
on those sort of things and
they're looking for more
387
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,560
authentic interactions.
So that is over on Facebook.
388
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,800
On Instagram, they've got, oh
goody, the notes feature, which
389
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,840
they've gotten rid of on a post,
but they still have notes out
390
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,440
there.
Get some great updates like you
391
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,920
can customize the color because
everybody cares about that and
392
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,040
the emojis on that.
So I'm sure everybody is very
393
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,360
excited about that one.
LinkedIn did make profile
394
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:30,560
verification easier, So if you
use an alternate name there,
395
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,240
you're now allowed to verify as
long as they have your
396
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,200
additional legal name on there
and oh wait.
397
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,160
A minute which?
Which platform is that which?
398
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,960
One that's LinkedIn.
Is Jonathan.
399
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,960
Yep.
I just want to clarify that.
400
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,560
So I tried to do this was before
because I don't use Sydney,
401
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,640
which is my name.
I use Sid on LinkedIn.
402
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,280
I can now go through the clear
process and become verified,
403
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,040
verified using.
OK, I'm going to do that today.
404
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,400
That's good.
You what you have to do is add
405
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,320
your your legal name as a
secondary title.
406
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,800
Right, I'm going to try.
If I get stuck, I'm calling.
407
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240
OK, don't call me.
I wish Facebook, I wish Facebook
408
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,880
would do that.
I know.
409
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Having a hard time with the Dr.
Diane Romel thing and it's just
410
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,440
it's been trying for a while.
I'm OK, you did.
411
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,320
John Poop.
I'm sorry.
412
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,640
No problem.
Would you like for me to call?
413
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,680
I'll call somebody about that,
but I don't know if.
414
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,680
Yeah, I get them on the line,
will you?
415
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,800
And then the only other thing is
really that Metaview did release
416
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,120
a new the new version of their
AI chat bot.
417
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:41,400
Now Metaview is for the the
glasses, the meta glasses, so
418
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,040
they did release a new AI chat
bot that's powered by llama 4
419
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,720
and that is the those are the
updates on social media right
420
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,080
now nothing huge there was if
you haven't already go and watch
421
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,960
the video.
If you're interested in what's
422
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,560
going on in Instagram, Adam
Missouri did put out a video, I
423
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,720
believe not yesterday, the day
before, where he talked about
424
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600
just things going on in
Instagram.
425
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160
It wasn't groundbreaking.
It's mostly stuff that he's
426
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,120
talked about before, but it's
always good to see where he
427
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:15,240
where his head is.
Put a face with a yes.
428
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,960
Yes.
OK, Good deal.
429
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,040
So Ashley's coming back to tell
us some events happening in the
430
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,920
podcasting world.
And this information is directly
431
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,400
from pod news.
Thank you, James Kriblin, for
432
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,880
being such a great source on
that.
433
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,840
Ashley, go ahead.
All right, here's our events
434
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,960
roundup.
We're going to start with the
435
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,840
Empowered Podcasting Conference
and this is September 26th
436
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,480
through 28th, 2025 and it is at
the Hyatt Centric in Uptown
437
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,720
Charlotte, NC.
You can get your tickets at
438
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,720
empoweredpodcasting.com.
I went last year for the first
439
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,880
one, got to meet several of you.
I'm very grateful still for that
440
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,640
experience.
I encourage everybody to go.
441
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,440
It's going to be awesome.
And the next event we have is an
442
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,720
on online event and it is
Wednesday, May 14th and it is
443
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,520
called the Lower St. office
hours and it is at noon Central
444
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,040
Time, 6:00 BST.
And the description I have says
445
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,520
join the crew for Lower St. for
a laid back but value of your
446
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Q&A session.
And this is great for whether
447
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,040
you're working on your first
show or you're refining your
448
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,000
50th.
It's a great chance to get some
449
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,600
insights from industry pros and
maybe share a few of your own.
450
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:32,920
And then, of course, coming up
across the pond, we've got the
451
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Podcast Show 2025.
It's going to be Wednesday and
452
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,040
Thursday, May 21st and 22nd in
London, England.
453
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,120
And there are tickets available
on their website.
454
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,240
I'll make sure to have that in
the show notes for you.
455
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,160
And this is one of the biggest
podcast industry events of the
456
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,400
year.
They'll be creators, platforms,
457
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,160
marketers to networks.
It's where everything will be
458
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,200
happening across the pond.
And to go with that, there was a
459
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,360
free podcaster happy hour also
happening in London.
460
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:05,280
And it is Wednesday, May 21st
and it is a ticketed event.
461
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,760
And this will be a great event
to go alongside the podcast
462
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,160
show.
And I hope everybody who's
463
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,720
attending has a great time.
I.
464
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,120
Have a comment?
So yesterday I went and booked
465
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,200
my hotel room for the Empowered
Podcasting conference.
466
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,120
Thank you, Mark, for the rate,
hotel rate.
467
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,920
I just have a tip for everybody.
I booked it because the event is
468
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,200
Friday to Sunday and I tried to
book my hotel room Thursday to
469
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Sunday and it would not let me.
It told me that there were no
470
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840
rooms available.
So my, my tip, my pro tip if you
471
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,760
will, is to be sure that you
book for the day the conference
472
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,800
starts, which is Friday and
check out on Sunday.
473
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Then you'll see the room options
that are available.
474
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Great tips.
That's all I've got for events.
475
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,600
Back to you, Dr., and thanks so
much.
476
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,200
I just wanted to mention that we
also do have the speaker call
477
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,360
opened currently for Empowered
Podcasting.
478
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,240
So if you're interested in
speaking at the event, please
479
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600
fill out your application.
Go ahead, Diane.
480
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,880
Well, I just wanted to add then
that if you or your company are
481
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,000
interested in sponsoring, we
have opportunities to get
482
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,760
involved with the Empowered
Podcasting Conference.
483
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,880
Reach out to me or Ashley.
You don't mind putting my e-mail
484
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,600
in the show notes, do you?
I'm happy to do that for you.
485
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Thanks.
OK, absolutely.
486
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,880
I well and I'll throw it out
here then it's Dan at Dan W dot
487
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,120
US.
Just put sponsorship in the
488
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,160
subject line.
Awesome.
489
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,560
Well, thanks Dan Dr. back to you
with some more news bites.
490
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,720
And just for the people who are
listening on on the replay,
491
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:47,120
empowered podcasting is
basically the child of what's
492
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,480
going on in Mark's brain.
This is the empowered podcasting
493
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,680
meet up.
And of course, there's the
494
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,240
powered podcasting page on
Facebook that is Mark's.
495
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,600
And so this is his second one
that he's done.
496
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,800
And it's going to be, it's going
to be so good.
497
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,160
It was great, great, great last
year.
498
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,720
And this year it's going to be
even better.
499
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,000
So we're looking forward to
that.
500
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,760
James, do, are you available to
speak right now or are you
501
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,880
running around just listening to
us?
502
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Not quite sure.
Hello.
503
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,720
Hello.
Yes, I am.
504
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,960
I can talk to you.
Absolutely.
505
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,520
I'm always fascinated to hear
what the big news is.
506
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,600
And the big news apparently,
apparently appears to be
507
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,120
something to do with AI.
So that's OK.
508
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,760
Plus, we read all your content,
James.
509
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,040
We want to make sure.
So James talk a little bit about
510
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,160
the the show going on in London
podcast show.
511
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,880
It's a very big deal.
So this is its fourth year.
512
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:58,480
It claims to have 10,000 people
going, which I think is it's an
513
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,520
interesting camping exercise.
I'm not entirely convinced about
514
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,520
that, but it's certainly a very
big event.
515
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,360
And I think what I've seen in
the four years that I'm going
516
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,680
there, so I'm doing the opening
keynote and I think what, what
517
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,320
I, what I see over the four
years that I've gone there is
518
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,720
that it's become really, you
know, the event for people to
519
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,840
come to.
It seems to have passed the
520
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,000
podcast show.
Sorry.
521
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,960
It seems to have passed podcast
movement in, in some ways as
522
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,400
being a really interesting event
for both people in the industry,
523
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,920
but also people who are
podcasting as a side hustle, as
524
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,320
something that that they just
want to get better AT.
525
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,080
And the fact that it's in my
hometown, it's always a good
526
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,400
thing.
So I will be jumping on the
527
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,160
plane and going all the way over
there and looking forward to
528
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,680
him.
Awesome.
529
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,880
So this is a subject that we
have had a couple of times on
530
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:00,920
this show about the intimacy of
the smaller groups versus the
531
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,600
huge blow out groups.
So let's let's talk a little bit
532
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,240
about that for you.
What do you what is your take on
533
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,800
that?
Yeah, I think that there's
534
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,840
definitely a, a bit of both.
And it's one of the reasons why
535
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,480
I worked on this events board so
that anyone can post any event,
536
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,720
big or small.
And it can be an online event,
537
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,440
it can be a, you know, it can be
a, an in person event because I
538
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,320
think that, you know, small,
small events are really
539
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,480
worthwhile.
I I think I went to the New
540
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,480
Zealand podcast Summit, which I
think the last one of those was
541
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,480
last was last weekend, but I
went to one a couple of years
542
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,120
ago and that was great.
That was about I guess about 60
543
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,920
people and it was really good
because you really got to meet
544
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,800
everybody and talk with
everybody and understand what
545
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,280
everybody was coming from.
And that was really good.
546
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,040
But you know, these large events
are also pretty good as well
547
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,200
because you can see people who
you know, you've been following
548
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,360
for many years and you know and
understand what the what they're
549
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,680
up to as well.
I went to the podcast movement
550
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,520
when it was here in Nashville
and it was my first time.
551
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,360
And of course every everything
was a shiny penny.
552
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:19,280
I just wanted to be everywhere.
But as the years have gone on, I
553
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:25,080
realized that I really get so
much more knowledge out of the
554
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,040
smaller groups because of all
the rooms that have speakers and
555
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,800
stuff and courses and things
going on at the conventions.
556
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,280
I just, I learn a lot more at
those smaller intimate groups.
557
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:43,200
But certainly the networking
possibilities at the big ones
558
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680
are amazing.
Amazing.
559
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,000
The networking opportunities are
fantastic and I think you know
560
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,120
it.
It just takes, as with any of
561
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:58,160
these, it takes 1 good meeting
or one really good learning,
562
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,400
which changes the way that you
do things and, and that's it.
563
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,240
And you've paid for the entire
thing.
564
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
So I think, you know, certainly
worthwhile, you know, doing,
565
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,520
whether it's a big one or a
small one, certainly worthwhile
566
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,080
doing that.
That's really helpful.
567
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,280
I think, you know, podcasting is
a very solitary thing and I
568
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,400
think it's, you know, it's
always useful being able to meet
569
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,239
other people who are in in the
same boat as you.
570
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Can I cover a news story because
I'm interested in what other
571
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,400
people are up on stage?
It's not really an exclusive
572
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,159
because it was a news story that
broke last week at the end of at
573
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,760
the end of last week, which is
that Spotify is adding plays to
574
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,880
the Spotify app.
So any day now, and some of you
575
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,840
may already have it, you'll be
able to see how many plays a
576
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,000
podcast has had in the Spotify
app.
577
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,239
You'll be able to see it in much
the same way as YouTube.
578
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,560
And I was just curious from
others on stage as to whether
579
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,320
you think that this is a good
idea, whether this is the worst
580
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,800
idea that's ever happened.
They've been some podcasts that
581
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,280
have said that's it, we're
coming off Spotify.
582
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,200
How dare they?
But other people saying no,
583
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,520
that's absolutely, that's
absolutely fine.
584
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,640
So I'm just sort of curious as
to what as to what other people
585
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,640
think about them.
Well, James, it's like you have
586
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,840
my rundown in your hand because
that was a story that I was
587
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,400
going to get to a little later
on.
588
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,480
But I'm glad that you you got me
on it.
589
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,720
I see Dan's hand up.
Go ahead.
590
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,400
Well, yes, and I happen to have
cheated and saw those notes.
591
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,160
I was very interested in this
discussion, but I will just
592
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,760
quickly answer and say that I am
on the side of.
593
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,400
I believe in transparency,
though whether it's a good thing
594
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,560
or a bad thing I don't think
matters as much.
595
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,280
And I read some more of the
notes, but if the idea from
596
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:00,640
podcasters is that it's going to
drop their listener count
597
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,040
because they don't have many
plays.
598
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,720
Actually, this tied this ties to
a comment made earlier about
599
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:09,480
the.
It was was it the random news
600
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,400
Dr. or the random chart?
I have.
601
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:16,560
Yeah.
So interesting side note, and
602
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:21,400
this plays well into that, Ed
Mylett, Ed Mylett's podcast
603
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,640
often touts that they are the
number one business podcast in
604
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,440
the world.
But I've been doing some
605
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,720
homework and that chart made me
actually go dig in again today.
606
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,040
And they are consistently in the
top 20, but not even close to
607
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,560
the top ten in a consistent
fashion.
608
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,840
So there's some food for
thought.
609
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,200
That might be, that might be he
might be a victim of Listen
610
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,520
Notes.
You know, where Listen Notes
611
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,400
takes all these programs, all
these podcasts that haven't
612
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:56,240
published for several years and
they put them in a big bowl with
613
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,760
the some with some that are
publishing and they mix it up
614
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,120
and they say, hey, you're number
one.
615
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,920
Well, hopefully you are #1 if
you're going against, you know,
616
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,080
10 dead podcasts that haven't
done anything, yeah, you better
617
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
be #1.
Absolutely.
618
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,880
I could see that being part of
it, but I wonder how much of it
619
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,040
is a promotion strategy.
Anyway, that's my thoughts.
620
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,840
I believe in transparency.
I think it's a good thing for an
621
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,120
industry, maybe not such a good
thing for podcasters.
622
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160
And James, what is what is your
take on this?
623
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,640
What do you think the pros and
cons are of this feature?
624
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,360
I've got plenty of pros and
plenty of cons.
625
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,480
I agree.
In terms of transparency, I
626
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,200
think that transparency is a
good thing.
627
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,720
And I publish all of the stats
for the shows that I do because
628
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:46,800
I think that that's an important
thing.
629
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,720
Particularly when you're asking
your audience for money, as I
630
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:52,720
do, I think it's pretty
important to actually say how
631
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,200
well you're doing.
I think that that's, you know, a
632
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,800
good thing.
There's a tool called OP 3,
633
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,320
which is free and which gives
you information that you can
634
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,720
then use and you'll find that at
OP 3 dot dev.
635
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,520
So I think that that's one
thing.
636
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,840
The, the only thing that I would
say on the on the reverse side
637
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,600
is that Spotify haven't said
what a play is.
638
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,840
There's no definition of what a
play is.
639
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,640
And so therefore we don't know
quite what it's measuring.
640
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,360
What I can tell you is that I
have a show on Spotify
641
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,560
obviously, and as well on Apple
Podcasts.
642
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,640
They both have the same amount
of people tuning into them
643
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,520
according to the figures.
But the amount of plays on Apple
644
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,960
Podcasts is five times as much
as the amount of plays on
645
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Spotify.
And that's not saying that Apple
646
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,880
Podcast is doing better.
That's saying that Apple Podcast
647
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,600
is measuring a play in a
different way.
648
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,680
And So what what it will give
you is it will give you the
649
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,840
opportunity of comparing
individual shows on the Spotify
650
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,320
platform.
But of course, what it won't
651
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,520
show is any plays that you're
getting elsewhere.
652
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,120
And if you're a show, which is
a, if you're a podcast about
653
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,960
podcasting as I do, then
typically that means that you
654
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,720
won't do very well on Spotify.
For whatever reason, those shows
655
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:18,120
aren't very popular on on the
Spotify platform and are more
656
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,320
popular on Apple Podcasts.
So you're not necessarily seeing
657
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,520
the whole story is what I'm
basically saying there.
658
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,760
And we don't know quite how a
play is measured.
659
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,280
By the way, we also don't know
how play is measured on YouTube
660
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,640
either, $35 billion industry and
YouTube has never once actually
661
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,600
explained what a play is.
So there's a concern.
662
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,240
But I do think that there's a
good a good thing.
663
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:48,240
And by the way, if you want to
see other people's data, then
664
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,680
the sister publication of of POD
News, which is called the
665
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,760
Podcast Business Journal.
If you have a look at podcast
666
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,720
business journals data page,
then you'll see a ton of data in
667
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:05,680
there, including loads of data
for individual shows that are
668
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,400
sharing their information out
there.
669
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,440
So if you are in the arts
category or you're in the
670
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,360
business category, then you can
actually see probably 20 other
671
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,200
shows in that same category that
you can compare with your own.
672
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,640
So it's a good, it's a good
place to go and find.
673
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,360
You know, additional stats and
information.
674
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,120
Awesome.
So getting back to this feature
675
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,960
that Spotify is going to be
doing.
676
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Although I have a story here
saying that Spotify hints at
677
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:44,040
tweaks after podcaster backlash
on to the play count roll out.
678
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,880
So they might be tweaking it a
little bit, but who knows.
679
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,040
But I want to know your take on
this.
680
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,400
Do you think that this feature I
I really don't know what else to
681
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,120
call it, that this feature will
hurt the smaller shows when it
682
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,200
comes to listen or discovery?
I don't really think it will.
683
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:08,200
I don't know how many people
would look at a show.
684
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,040
You have to get into the show
page, is my understanding.
685
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,920
Before you, before you actually
see that number.
686
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,560
So the algorithm's already done
that job in terms of chosen a
687
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,320
popular show anyway.
That's how the Spotify algorithm
688
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,200
tends to work anyway.
So I don't think that this
689
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,880
additional feature is going to
kill anybody.
690
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,320
You know who all of a sudden you
look at it and you go, oh, it's
691
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,800
only got 20 listens.
I, I don't think I'm going to go
692
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,080
and have a listen.
I'm not sure that that's a
693
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,040
particular thing that we have to
worry about.
694
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,600
If you find a great show that
only has 30 people tuning into
695
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,040
it, well, you've found something
special, haven't you?
696
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,440
Very.
True, very true.
697
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,840
James, thank you so much for
joining us today.
698
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,840
I really appreciate good luck on
that keynote speech.
699
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,120
It's a pleasure.
Yes, I should have.
700
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,080
I should have written it by last
Friday and I still haven't, but
701
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,240
still, there we are.
Say I.
702
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:12,160
Yes, or maybe not.
That's great.
703
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,480
So we're going to get back to
little news bites that we have.
704
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,400
And Ashley, you're going to talk
to us about something about
705
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,640
Metacast.
Is Metacast related to meta that
706
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,960
we know about meta.
Facebook meta?
707
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,600
I don't think so.
And actually when I found this
708
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,360
news story, I was actually
thinking about you because it's
709
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,680
it's a type of podcast player
and I know you're into listening
710
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,600
on different players.
So this one's for you.
711
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,360
So this is the new, the newest
with Medacast.
712
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,360
It has human readable URLs.
Gone are the random strings of
713
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,600
letters and numbers.
Medacast has slugified all URLs.
714
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,880
So now I looked at it when they
published the story, instead of
715
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,680
having a bunch of random
characters, you can actually see
716
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,640
your podcast website in the URL
and it's just, it looks a lot
717
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,080
nicer.
There's also cleaner copy links
718
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,680
when you share a podcast or
episode, only the link gets
719
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,280
copied now.
No extra clutter.
720
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,920
Like the title, it makes pasting
into the notes, slack and text a
721
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,840
lot cleaner.
There's an AirDrop bonus for
722
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,200
Apple users if you're sharing
from an iPhone to a Mac via
723
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,280
AirDrop.
I know this won't apply to you.
724
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:32,080
Dr. Medacast links now auto open
in your browser and this is
725
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,120
great for pulling the full
transcript or referencing
726
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,840
episodes on a bigger screen.
And it also does deep linking
727
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,240
that it still works.
I guess that might have been
728
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:44,680
something that they had some
problems with that they fixed.
729
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,800
It says if you copy a specific
transcript segment, you'll still
730
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,440
get the quote plus episode title
and a deep link that jumps right
731
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,000
to the moment in the episode.
So that's pretty cool.
732
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,960
And lastly, better cross device
flow.
733
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:03,000
It says all Medacast links now
open in your web browser and
734
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,840
you'll see a open and medacast
button at the bottom of your
735
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,720
episode page.
And on mobile it opens in the
736
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:13,440
app and on desktop it can show
you AQR code and you can scan
737
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,600
that and open on your phone.
So this player might be worth
738
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,080
checking out.
Oh yeah, thank you.
739
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,720
I am going to try and download
that today.
740
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:24,920
That sounds awesome.
So you have here on the rundown
741
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,080
why this matters for podcasters
and listeners alike.
742
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:33,160
These changes make referencing,
quoting, and sharing podcast
743
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,200
content easier and faster,
especially if you're pulling
744
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,800
notes for an interview or
collaborating the script.
745
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:45,000
So the quick question for the
room is, are human readable
746
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,560
links and smooter sharing
features a big deal to you or
747
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,640
are you just pasting links and
hoping for the best?
748
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,760
I want them to be a big deal.
You know, I think that placement
749
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,040
really matters and the ease of
access for people really, really
750
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,800
matters.
And sometimes when you post a
751
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,800
link and it's just a bunch of
jumbled garbling gook, it can
752
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:12,040
put a bad taste in some people's
mouth, maybe make them not want
753
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,840
to click on it.
But I think that if you had your
754
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,680
brand recognizable in every
aspect of what you share, then
755
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,240
that could really help.
So I think this is a really cool
756
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:27,400
tool for making things more
visually pleasing and making it
757
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,080
easier for your folks to find
you.
758
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,920
So my whole thing is that if I'm
working this app on a phone,
759
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,360
it's all, you know, I've got fat
finger syndrome.
760
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,640
So whatever I point to, whatever
my intention is to copy and
761
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,800
paste, it's totally different
because my finger is like all
762
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,560
over the fricking screen.
So but if it's on laptop, then
763
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,760
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
764
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,720
But the phone thing is, is a
challenge for me, that's for
765
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:00,680
sure.
Anyone else?
766
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,280
All right, yeah, I'll jump in
really quick.
767
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,120
We're talking about meta, and
meta tracks everything, So I
768
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,000
much prefer a human readable
link that I can go out and
769
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,240
separately follow versus
clicking on directly if there's
770
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:19,440
something that I want to explore
a bit further.
771
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,680
Agreed.
Agreed, Jonathan.
772
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,680
I'll say that links do matter.
I use pretty links for all my
773
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,600
stuff and I just bring it in and
and direct it to whatever, you
774
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,000
know, link I want to send it to.
But yeah, an easy to read link
775
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,480
is key when you're sharing
stuff, so.
776
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,760
So here's a random question here
that has to do with what you
777
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,920
name your file like on YouTube.
I'm still trying to understand
778
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,320
YouTube and everything.
That's that's why I have sourced
779
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,040
it to someone else.
But if you name your file
780
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,320
something, something that only I
would understand, you know, the
781
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,600
initials of the show and the
date, they count that against
782
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,080
you or do they?
Does that have an effect on the
783
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,080
algorithm?
Anyone.
784
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,240
Jonathan, do you know?
So my understanding is it does
785
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:17,480
impact your SEO, maybe not the
algorithm, but it does impact
786
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,520
SEO from my understanding.
But Ashley might have a
787
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,040
different understanding.
She's got her hand up.
788
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,880
I don't know how true this is,
I'll just say that, but I have
789
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,960
been told that your file name
and the title of your video
790
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,560
should match and therefore it
could perform better.
791
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,800
But again, I I don't have any
evidence or foundings and that's
792
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,560
just something I've been told
many times.
793
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,760
Yeah, Janae, I see has thumbs
down on that.
794
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,440
OK, Janae.
Well, I'm I'm still learning.
795
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,160
So anyway, everyone, I
appreciate you all being here
796
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,800
today and we're going to cut it
short and give you a few more
797
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,440
minutes of your morning left to
you.
798
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,240
And again, I want to thank
Ashley, Dan, Jonathan, Amanda,
799
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,080
who is on The Who we didn't
speak to today.
800
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,600
Amanda, how are you dude?
Did you have anything to say
801
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:09,800
today?
Anything to ask?
802
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,800
Good morning.
Well, you know, Newsday is
803
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,920
always so I just sit here in
silence support.
804
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,320
OK, thank you.
I appreciate it here today.
805
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,040
And of course, much thanks to
James Criblin from podcast.
806
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:31,160
I'm sorry from Pod news and
everyone have a great day.
807
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,880
We're going to leave you a few
minutes early so you can go out
808
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,000
and enjoy whatever you have to
enjoy.
809
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,360
Is there sunshine where you're
at?
810
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,360
Because it's completely overcast
where I'm at.
811
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,800
So we will talk to you tomorrow
and next week.
812
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Mark will be back for Newsday.
OK, bye.
