- Sep 10: Getting your own dot-com is the most sensible thing you can do to own your podcast. Some podcast hosts like Buzzsprout allow you to use your domain name for your podcast website; or companies like Podpage will let you have a more advanced website wherever you host your show, all powered by your RSS feed. (There’s a discount for Podnews readers). And there’s always GoDaddy to grab a domain - use these codes to save on your own dot-com.
- Sep 1: Buzzsprout is relaunching Podcasting Q&A today. It's a short-form podcast that answers common questions about podcasting in 5–10 minute episodes. The show covers a wide range of topics from launching a podcast to editing audio, making the process clear and approachable.
- Aug 27: Last week, your Editor managed to record an entire episode of the Podnews Weekly Review on the floor of the Podcast Movement expo hall - while using his laptop microphone instead of his hand-held. Luckily, Buzzsprout’s “Magic Mastering” tool has a feature called “Power Clean”, which rescued the pretty awful audio and turned it into something much better. Here’s a little bit of audio to compare the two. (Buzzsprout is a show sponsor).
- Jul 10: Buzzsprout has, ah, added some sort of new tools to, er, its Magic Mastering tool. The tool now has “filler killer”, a tool that “cautiously detects and removes filler words”, and “power clean”, a tool you can manually turn on when required that can remove complex noises like chatter, wind, traffic, or reverb.
- Jul 3: The total number of new podcast episodes published in June was 4.7% fewer than in May on a normalised basis, says Livewire. Spotify for Creators saw a small decrease, but still retained its leading market share of 26.6% of new episodes. Spreaker (at 15%) and Buzzsprout (at 8.7%) saw increases in share, as did Podbean and Libsyn. Amazon Cloudfront still serves the majority of podcast episodes (now 60.79% of them).
