1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,720
Good morning podcasting Morning
Chat.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:14,280
Today is Wednesday, October 8th,
2025, and today we're unpacking

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,320
the week in podcasting.
Stephen Bartlett introduces a

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,160
bold new video platform launch.
To. 4th graders giving NPR a run

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,520
for their money, plus AIDJS
award shows and more.

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,640
So if you're listening live on

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,080
seconds.
We'll get things rolling.

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:01:22,680
Thanks for being here.
Good morning again, podcasting,

13
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Morning Chat.
Thanks so much for being here.

14
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,840
I am your host Mark Ronick and
currently on stage with me we

15
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,240
have producer Ashley Feller,
Nick Nolback, Sid Meadows,

16
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,680
Jonathan Howard, Dr. Fey, Alex
Baelish and Phil Better.

17
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,800
Welcome to the cast and crew and
welcome to those of you here

18
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,320
listening live on Clubhouse and
potentially I haven't really

19
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,840
looked yet over on YouTube live.
I don't see anybody yet, but

20
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,440
yesterday I know we had a couple
people pop in and that was cool

21
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,840
to see.
Really trying to, well, I

22
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,360
shouldn't say I'm trying to grow
the YouTube thing, but I am

23
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,560
trying to be very consistent
with the lives on YouTube.

24
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,920
I say that because I admittedly
haven't put in a big effort into

25
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,440
really growing this YouTube side
of things.

26
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,480
It's on the radar for 2026.
So more to come there.

27
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,520
In the meantime, today, like I
said, we are covering all the

28
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,080
headlines around the world of
podcasting.

29
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,480
So I think why don't actually
before we do that, I just

30
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,000
remembered what I wanted to do.
Phil, who I mentioned a moment

31
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,200
ago on stage with us.
Phil, I saw on Facebook that you

32
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,720
have a client that got nominated
for a Signal Award.

33
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,960
And I wanted to give you an
opportunity to share that client

34
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720
and what that award nomination
is all about.

35
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840
And maybe then we can put a link
in the show notes to try to get

36
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,640
some people to vote.
So go ahead, Phil.

37
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,400
Tell us a little bit about it.
Yes, the client that we have is

38
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,480
a podcast called Nice Jeans.
It's a podcast fully on the

39
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:05,240
genomic world, but they so they
talk about the genomes and a

40
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,600
whole bunch of great scientific
stuff, but in the fun,

41
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,280
entertaining ways.
This season we're doing it as a

42
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,720
more detective series.
That's the through line.

43
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720
So it's all about storytelling,
telling stories about why elite

44
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,200
athletes collapse in the middle
of a, a sports game that we

45
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,800
we've all seen how waste
management actually affects your

46
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,320
health and your genome, your
genome, your DNA and poo

47
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,600
detective or poo done it.
And we have so many other

48
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,480
amazing episodes coming out.
So the podcast is called Nice

49
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,960
genes.
We are nominated for a signal

50
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,240
award under the science and
education, under branding, the

51
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,960
branding style.
And it is a podcast that is

52
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440
fully Canadian as well.
So it's a fully Canadian team

53
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,800
that's creating it, producing it
and actually doing all the real

54
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,000
work for it.
So it's a great podcast, it's a

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,640
very entertaining, it is
phenomenal.

56
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000
We've we're trying to win and we
would love for everybody who's

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,720
listening to go ahead and check
it out.

58
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,120
So it's the Signal Awards.
Is Sydney Sweeney your sponsor?

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,480
No, I can promise you we do not
have Sydney Sweeney or her good

60
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,000
jeans in it.
I know.

61
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Unfortunately, she doesn't fit
into the science world, only

62
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,920
into nice jeans from American
Eagle.

63
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,160
And there you go.
So what?

64
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
We will put that in the show
notes so that everyone can

65
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,920
support Phil and his client.
I would encourage you to

66
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,200
actually go listen to an episode
before you vote just for

67
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,160
integrity's sake.
And it's always nice to support

68
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,840
a fellow community member.
Were you going to say something,

69
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,520
Phil?
I was just going to say thank

70
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,600
you and yes, check out the Poo
Done It episode.

71
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,000
It's actually a lot of fun.
Silliness abound night.

72
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,640
Phil, go ahead and put that in
the link.

73
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,280
If you can find a link to that
episode, put it in the chat and

74
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,640
then we will make sure to put it
in the show notes so that people

75
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,240
can go directly to it and press
play and then give their vote.

76
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Check out the Signal awards,
lots of nominations.

77
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,600
I believe our friend, community
leader Dominic Lawson was

78
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200
nominated for two Signal awards
as well.

79
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,560
It's kind of, of course he is
right.

80
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Dominic's always nominated for
awards and wins a lot of those

81
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,520
nominations as well.
So good luck to Dominic.

82
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,880
All right, now I'm going to hit
the correct button here.

83
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,480
Let's get in to news as soon as
I pull up my news stories.

84
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Stand by.
Where did it go?

85
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Darn it.
All right, unprepared, Mark.

86
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Well, I was prepared.
It's just I have way too many

87
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,160
windows open at the moment.
Here we go.

88
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,160
OK, so as of today, let's start
with some podcast data, shall

89
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,880
we?
And let me, yes, let me make

90
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,440
sure this is correct.
It is as of October 7th,

91
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,480
yesterday, the number one
podcast on Apple the past #1 has

92
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,040
been dethroned.
It's now Crime Junkie by audio

93
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Chuck.
I will save the top podcast on

94
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,720
Spotify because A, we all know
it and B, because we all know

95
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,800
it.
We do a top five for Spotify.

96
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,720
We will get to Dr. in just a
second.

97
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,480
I did want to share that
according to the podcast index,

98
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,440
if you look up podcast index,
you'll see that website, there

99
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,000
are now more than 4.6 million
podcasts listed with over

100
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,760
146,000,000 episodes published.
Just a stat I haven't shared

101
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,680
terribly or often.
That averages out to about 31

102
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,440
episodes per show.
And Spotify actually has the

103
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,760
biggest podcast catalog, partly
because it includes a lot of

104
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,200
shows made directly through
Spotify for creators that don't

105
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,520
appear anywhere else.
Apple Podcasts, on the other

106
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,640
hand, has fewer listings because
not every show these days are

107
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,240
choosing to be there.
And that's just some

108
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,000
speculation, really.
I'm not saying that's the hard

109
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,080
truth, but I think Spotify has
been making such a big push and

110
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,120
creating ways of being, of
making it enticing to be

111
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,480
exclusive to the platform.
But here's the number that

112
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960
really matters.
How many of those shows are

113
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,960
still active that I talked
about?

114
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:41,240
Those 4.6 million podcasts as of
right now, about 181,000, let's

115
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,000
say 182,000 podcasts have
released a new episode in the

116
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,680
past week.
That's a much smaller group gang

117
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,760
and if you're creating shows, I
don't want to call it the real

118
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
competition.
I can't think of a better way to

119
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,840
put it, but it this is the real
competition, here are the ones

120
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,360
that are still producing and
putting out new content.

121
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,520
I think we shouldn't let that
4.6 million discourage anyone

122
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,680
because there it's a little bit
of a false story there when we

123
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,520
know that really only 182,000 of
them are actually putting out

124
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520
podcast episodes this past week.
Jonathan, did you want to say

125
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,640
something?
Yeah.

126
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040
I just wanted to say that on the
monthly because I pulled it from

127
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,440
my presentation at Empowered
Podcasting.

128
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,440
For each month, it's 500,000.
So that's still a much smaller

129
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,120
number than 4.6 million and it's
still against your one podcast,

130
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080
but you have ways of making your
podcast stand out.

131
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,039
Yeah, think about, I think it's
safe to say, think about when

132
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,200
you're starting a social media
account and compare that to

133
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,960
podcasting, because they're,
correct me if I'm wrong,

134
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,280
Jonathan, but a lot more social
media, we'll call them channels,

135
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280
profiles.
Then there are podcasts out

136
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,840
there, yet everybody rushes to
start their social media and

137
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,760
they don't seem to.
Well, I'm sure there are some

138
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,760
people, but it seems that people
are quicker to start a social

139
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880
media with the understanding
that there is so much

140
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,760
competition, for lack of a
better word yet.

141
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Yet I feel like more people get
discouraged about starting a

142
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920
podcast because, quote,
everybody has one.

143
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,680
I.
Agree.

144
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,240
All right, cool.
So now let's go to.

145
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Thank you, Jonathan.
Let's go to Dr. for the top five

146
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:28,720
on Spotify and the top five in a
specific category that she likes

147
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,480
to pick for us every week.
Go ahead, Dr. So Spotify #5 is

148
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,200
the Tucker Carlson show #4 is
this past weekend with Theo von

149
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,080
#3 is true crime with Kimber.
I think that's how you pronounce

150
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,120
her name.
And #2 is good.

151
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Hang with Amy bowler #1.
Take a deep breath.

152
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Take a deep breath.
Is the Joey Rogan experience.

153
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Shocker.
All right, where?

154
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,920
What's the category of the week?
I just wanted to say that number

155
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,000
2, good hang with Amy Poehler.
Some of the video shorts that

156
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,320
have been put out are so
freaking funny.

157
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,640
They are so good.
Agreed.

158
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,840
So I that is going on definitely
that's going on my weekly list.

159
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,480
OK, so the second chart that I'm
going to read off today, we're

160
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,040
doing comedy, fiction, comedy
fiction.

161
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:33,440
OK, so #5 is sorry about that
murder or it could read sorry

162
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760
about that murder.
There's different reads that you

163
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,280
could do on that.
Number 4 is Legends of Adventist

164
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,520
or Adventris.
There's an R there, Legends of

165
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:50,360
adventurous #3 is Worlds Beyond
numbers #2 is Midnight Burger

166
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880
and #1.
Nice.

167
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Is the Adventure Zone.
There it is.

168
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,480
So first of all, by the way, you
mentioned that number 5, the

169
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,760
sorry about the murder.
I think that Phil will

170
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,600
appreciate this.
This is a Canadian show based on

171
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,360
Canada, and we know that sorry
is kind of a word associated

172
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,720
with Canadians.
Sorry that we have such great

173
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,520
comedy.
I'm sorry.

174
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Like, I'm really sorry about
that.

175
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,800
It's nice to have a Canadian
back on the crew.

176
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,760
By the way, I'm.
Telling you that's awesome.

177
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,520
So we thought we'd go back and
tell you a little bit about each

178
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,560
one of these.
And we've got some sound effects

179
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,160
now.
This can be a teaching moment,

180
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,240
y'all.
This tells you how much richer

181
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,240
the read can be if you just have
some backing music to go with

182
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:49,200
it.
So with that said #5 is Suri

183
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,240
about about the murder?
Every day in a nice little

184
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,920
Canadian town of of Bereave,
Mount Ontario, a Zamboni driver

185
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,880
must solve a grisly murder to
clear his Quebecois name.

186
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Quebec what?
Is that see, let's let's ask

187
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:14,720
Phil's Phil, It's QUEBECOIS.
To the qua, it's someone from

188
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,240
Quebec that's.
Quebec qua.

189
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,440
That's Quebec qua.
OK, got it.

190
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,960
So OK, that makes sense.
Grisly murdered to clear his

191
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,920
Quebec qua name and the ice for
tonight's hockey game.

192
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,720
There you go.
Anyway, let we won't go through

193
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400
all of these, but I am curious
about a couple.

194
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,920
Let's do #4 as well.
I'll I'll take that one.

195
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Legends of Avantress 7
chuckleheads were reading there

196
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,360
descriptions, goofing off,
telling stories and laughing way

197
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,720
too loud.
Usually playing D&D the podcast.

198
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,800
No shit.
The podcast, what did you say?

199
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,120
Usually playing D&D really.
Yeah, exactly.

200
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,400
The podcast features are stories
that all take place in

201
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,920
interconnected world of
adventurous.

202
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,880
Even if you know nothing about
tabletop games, we think you'll

203
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,280
enjoy the improv comedy
narrative, voice acting drama

204
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,720
and friendship along the way.
D&D podcasts are definitely a

205
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,200
thing these days.
Let me do #3 only because it's

206
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,520
so funny and I forgot to tell
you the name of the show is What

207
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,560
is it, World?
'S beyond numbers.

208
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,600
World's Beyond Numbers.
It's four friends hang out

209
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,880
together and use games to make
stories.

210
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,000
It's pretty good.
That's the read.

211
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600
It's pretty good.
Could be read as it's pretty

212
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,600
good, or it's pretty good read
either way.

213
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,480
Yes, and Midnight Burger is an
audio drama about the adventures

214
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,720
of time travel, dimension span,
time traveling, dimension

215
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,680
spanning diner.
And that is actually that caught

216
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,520
enough of my attention to get
curious and I've added one an

217
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600
episode to my cue to hear more
about that.

218
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,920
And you want to.
Quick.

219
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,680
Do the next one.
I don't think it's anything

220
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,000
funny.
OK, the Adventure Zone is that

221
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,880
first one again.
Well, obviously it's got to be

222
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,440
funny, but maybe the description
isn't that funny, OK.

223
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Yeah, but some of these sound
really funny that I think I

224
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,320
might add to my list.
Yeah, absolutely.

225
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,760
All right.
We're going to keep it moving.

226
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,480
And I know D Rs got cooking
time, so go for it, Dr. enjoy

227
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,240
the eggs and let's do some
events Speak Fest, which I've

228
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,760
been talking about and that's
spelled Speke Night of the

229
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,080
living pod.
That's coming up here in just a

230
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,280
couple of days, October 10th in
Houston, TX.

231
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,080
So if you're in that area and
curious, check that out.

232
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,280
The 7th annual Afrozen Audio
Podcast Festival is coming

233
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,120
October 16th to Baltimore, MD
once again.

234
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,320
And here's a cool one.
Again, it's like a Canada theme

235
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,640
today, Phil, and I'm curious if
this is near you and of interest

236
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,000
to you.
Campfire 2025 in Toronto, ON.

237
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Campfire hosted by Pod Camp
Toronto.

238
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,800
We've talked about some of their
events in the past, invites

239
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,280
podcasters and creators to
gather around a cozy campfire in

240
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,320
Toronto.
It's a chill hangout where you

241
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,440
can network, share ideas, and
spark collaborations in a

242
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,840
relaxing setting.
Join us for insightful

243
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
discussions, community
connections, under the stars.

244
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,400
I think that's a pretty cool
concept.

245
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,880
I love the idea, you know, to be
honest with you.

246
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Phil, have you heard of this and
is this something you would

247
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,520
attend?
I've heard.

248
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,040
Of it, pretty sure I saw it one
month on Pod news, their

249
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,880
newsletter.
It's about a six hour drive, 6-7

250
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,000
hour drive depending because
it's in Toronto.

251
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,200
So that's close to, not close to
Niagara Falls, but it's in that

252
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,920
area.
So I'm more closer to like

253
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,560
Vermont, so.
It's it's gonna be a long Yeah,

254
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,640
I'm on.
The other side, I would go to

255
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240
it, I'm always interested in
meeting more Canadian

256
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,240
podcasters, so there there is a
potential seeing when it is.

257
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600
What's the date again?
October. 18th Yeah, I'll give

258
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,480
you guys a.
Report.

259
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Yeah, let us know.
Sean from the.

260
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Night from one of the other
rooms.

261
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,040
He's been a speaker there
several times and he's very

262
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,360
involved in it and supposed to
be a good time it seems like.

263
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,400
It I think, you know, I would
thinking about the the people

264
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,800
that we had at Empowered
Podcasting, doing a campfire

265
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,800
with them and talking podcasting
and networking.

266
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,440
I think it would go really well.
I think it would be a perfect

267
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,800
thing.
Who knows, maybe we'll

268
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,200
incorporate something like that
in the future.

269
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,120
I don't think the hotel.
Would like the fire, no Yeah, I.

270
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Don't think we would do it in
the hotel Phil, but yes, we

271
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,160
would be a little more smart
about where we where we host the

272
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,160
fire.
What else do I have for you?

273
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,000
2025 Latinas in Podcasting
Virtual Summit.

274
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,080
That's October 23rd.
I don't have a link for you

275
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,920
handy, but I can tell you go to
podnews.net/events and you can

276
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,440
get that information there.
And of course, we'll put it in

277
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,520
the show notes as well.
I'm going to do this one, next

278
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,119
one for Dr. and Dr. if you're
listening, you're welcome to

279
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,359
chime in because I think this,
yeah, you added this one.

280
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Podcasters directory, virtual
networking event.

281
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,880
This is something you've been
sharing with us each week

282
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,319
lately.
The next one is tomorrow,

283
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:26,079
October 9th, 3:00 to 4:30
Central time.

284
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,960
And you can use PMC for the
discount code to get involved

285
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,000
for free, no cost to you as a
PMC community member.

286
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Just use that PMC code and Dr.
Do you want to add anything to

287
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,920
it?
Yeah, make.

288
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Sure.
And read off the topics.

289
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Do I put the topics in?
Yes.

290
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,400
Focus topics are business,
entrepreneurship, money,

291
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,640
finance, tech and AI.
Thank you, Sir.

292
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,320
You're welcome.
All right, now let's jump ahead

293
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,320
for a minute.
I say that because sometimes we

294
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,280
save AI news for a little later
down the road, but I think this

295
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,880
is worth jumping the line,
especially while we have Dr.

296
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520
still cooking and then we can
get back to some other news.

297
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,920
Here's something interesting
that I know Nick will jump in on

298
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,960
here.
ChatGPT plus Spotify equals your

299
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,960
new AIDJ for music and podcast
discovery.

300
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,720
So now Spotify plugs into
ChatGPT directly.

301
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760
Nick will tell us a little more
about that, letting you ask the

302
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,680
chat bot for music or podcast
recommendations that flow right

303
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,200
from your listening history and
mood.

304
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,080
The feature is an opt in.
It's available in 145 countries

305
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,240
and gives both free and premium
users conversational discovery

306
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,280
tools with some privileges
reserved for subscribers.

307
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,760
So, Nick, tell us a little bit
about this.

308
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,000
Good morning.
Everybody earlier this week's

309
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,840
Open AI held their yearly dev
day event that happened on

310
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,800
Monday and they announced some
pretty cool stuff.

311
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,880
One being what Mark was talking
about here with the Spotify app

312
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,800
living inside of ChatGPT or a a
version of the app inside of

313
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,960
chat.
And it's actually part of a

314
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,680
broader release or feature that
they've added into ChatGPT

315
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,960
itself called apps.
Right now, there are several

316
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,640
different apps that you can
actually access through ChatGPT.

317
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,960
One of them being Canvo on
Spotify, I think Zillow.

318
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,840
And there's another one, there's
probably 5 to 10 different apps

319
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
that are already built and
connected with ChatGPT.

320
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,920
If you click, if you're on your
profile and you click on your

321
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,920
little picture down in the
corner, you'll see apps and

322
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,000
connections or connections that
will give you a list of all

323
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560
different apps that you can
actually speak to and connect to

324
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,440
inside the platform itself.
And essentially what it does is

325
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,520
allows chat GPTA direct
connection to in Mark's example

326
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
to Spotify.
So you can tag with like a

327
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,800
little at sign Spotify and ask
it to give you recommendations

328
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,040
and see what the latest episode
was of your favorite podcast or

329
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,680
find you playlists based on your
wing or whatever you want to do.

330
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,960
But.
It'll actually open the app side

331
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,680
of your chat, DDT chat and you
can interact with Spotify app

332
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,320
directly inside the chat there.
But I think it's pretty cool.

333
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040
It's very cool.
I I tested it out.

334
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,040
I tested it out, Nick, by the
way.

335
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,680
And yeah, it's really cool.
You can ask it to give you

336
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,760
podcast recommendations, ask
specifically for the types of

337
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,320
podcasts and it will it will
deliver that.

338
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,120
So I guess.
My one question because I

339
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,680
haven't actually played with the
features.

340
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,800
I've been my phone non-stop.
As far as I can tell it's only

341
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,960
working on desktop at the
moment.

342
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,880
Does it play music from there as
well or does it just give you

343
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,520
the playlist?
So what I.

344
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Discovered and I only used it
once or twice.

345
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840
What I discovered was well,
first it connects it, you know,

346
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,400
it asks just like when you
connect other apps, Internet

347
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,600
apps, it'll ask you, you know,
permission and and all that

348
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,000
stuff.
And then I think what happened

349
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,760
was I asked it for podcast
recommendations about podcasts.

350
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,880
I wanted to see if we came up.
We did not damn it and it

351
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560
opened.
What happened was it had a

352
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,280
really nice graphic looking, you
know, a design.

353
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,920
It looked almost like a player
in within ChatGPT, like a

354
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,880
playlist type of thing that you
could click on.

355
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,160
But also, I think once you click
play, it opens up Spotify for

356
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,480
you and plays Spotify alongside
your ChatGPT window.

357
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,000
So that's how it works.
That's really cool.

358
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:54,960
So this is actually it's part of
a, a broader release that

359
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,680
they're opening up to creators,
app creators and developers.

360
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,320
So I know they already have a
whole list of apps that are

361
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,080
coming next.
But as developers, creators, as

362
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,120
they start creating their
software, they have the ability

363
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:13,560
now to incorporate a ChatGPT
element to it.

364
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,720
Where we could end up seeing
more of like a ChatGPT App Store

365
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960
where the apps that you're using
every day, you can bring

366
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,120
directly and communicate
directly to them from ChatGPT.

367
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,920
And the Canva one, like I said
earlier, I didn't quite get the

368
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Spotify one.
Like I kind of get it, but I

369
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,800
probably won't use it a lot.
The one that I was really

370
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,280
interested in was their Canva
connection or Canva app

371
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,120
connection.
And the reason I was interested

372
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,480
is I watched them do a demo of
this during the Dove Day event.

373
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,400
And they essentially they have
this business idea that they

374
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,200
were this little scenario that
they were running through and

375
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,320
they had to generate with the
Canva app a poster for this

376
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,120
company or this business that
they wanted to create.

377
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,480
And it presented them with
several different poster

378
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,240
options.
And then they took it a step

379
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,920
further and said, OK, I want you
to create a pitch deck for this

380
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,400
business that we're creating
based on this poster that I

381
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840
selected.
And it went and created like 8

382
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:22,160
to 10 slide pitch deck that to
me looked almost like a perfect

383
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,360
Instagram carousel.
At that point, you can choose to

384
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,640
open it up in Canva and continue
working on the design or doing

385
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,560
whatever you want with it.
But to me, I was thinking if

386
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,040
that works as well as they're
demonstrating, that would be so

387
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,280
easy for creators now to upload
a transcript of their episode or

388
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:45,080
their videos and tell Chet GBT
to use Canva to design either

389
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,040
pitch decks, Instagram
carousels, images, graphics,

390
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,640
etcetera, highlighting key
moments of the episode, some of

391
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,000
the funniest quotes or most
important points mentioned in

392
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,040
the episode.
And Chad, JBT and Camba would

393
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120
kind of take care of a lot of
the heavy lifting.

394
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,160
Basically get you past that
blank page that we all encounter

395
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,680
when you open up the camera for
the first time.

396
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,640
No, I really like it.
I did.

397
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,960
But I didn't go far with it
because it was the end of the

398
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,280
day and I wanted to wrap up my
my day.

399
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:21,160
But what I did tell it, I wanted
it to create a 7 slide carousel,

400
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,120
something podcasting related.
I forget what I told it and it

401
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,680
what it did.
Was it first that as far as I

402
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,960
got was it gave me like 5 or 6
different templates to choose

403
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,440
from.
It gave me just the first slide

404
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,960
and they were all completely
different.

405
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,520
I didn't love them what it came
up with.

406
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,760
I mean they looked decent, but
it just wasn't really my style.

407
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,400
It felt a little too stuffy, a
little too formal for me.

408
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,920
But I what I take away from that
is I gave a very vague prompt,

409
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,760
right?
I think if I gave a little more

410
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,760
detail about the branding, maybe
even shared with it a style that

411
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,520
I use and then tell it to create
something similar, I think it

412
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,640
would work just fine.
But I love the fact that it did

413
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,120
give me options and then I could
click and choose one of the

414
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,200
options and then have it build
out.

415
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,960
And like you said, it, it even
told me it would send it

416
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,200
straight to Canva if I wanted to
go in and work on it in Canva,

417
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,440
which I think is really cool.
Nick, quick question, like do

418
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,240
you think that this new thing
from ChatGPT VS apps and these

419
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,200
app connections, do you think
this is kind of what they wanted

420
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,440
to do when they first introduced
apps and started teasing the App

421
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Store that they have within
their own?

422
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Or do you still see these as two
entirely different things I

423
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,440
guess?
Are you more referring to like

424
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
the GPTS?
Yeah, the GPTS.

425
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,360
Yes.
Yeah.

426
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:55,720
So I I see them as two totally
different things.

427
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,360
One, because the GPT, it's very
limited in the functionality,

428
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,760
but it allows you to kind of
build and cater the kind of

429
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,560
responses that you want to get
out of ChatGPT, which saves you

430
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,560
the time on the prompting,
setting the AI up to understand

431
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,480
your what you're after, your
goals, all that kind of thing.

432
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,360
I mentioned at the conference,
like almost like individual

433
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,400
workers or V as working for you
that have a strict line of

434
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,200
instructions that they need to
follow and these app

435
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,480
connections.
Now I see this more getting into

436
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,400
almost like the automation of
the apps and things that we use.

437
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,720
To where?
Now you can just talk to the app

438
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,680
that you want to do something
on.

439
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,360
And ChatGPT can right at this
point pull information out of

440
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,280
those apps or potentially even
in the future certain doing

441
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,120
things on those apps for you.
And I think it's just like the

442
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:55,960
next the next step towards
getting that full agent

443
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,720
experience that we keep hearing
people talk about being AI right

444
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,760
now.
Yeah, I.

445
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Love this idea.
Yeah, I just think.

446
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,760
It's funny because you're still
going to end up listening to the

447
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,040
same 5 songs that you listen to
all the time because those are

448
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,200
your favorites.
And just that, that's kind of

449
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,560
what I was thinking in my head.
I'm like, it's all well and

450
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,960
good, but it's still going to
end up the algorithm.

451
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,640
Still going to go back to the
same song that you like anyways

452
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,720
so I can relate to.
That I know that when I tell

453
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,440
when I tell Spotify to play
music.

454
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Pardon me if I'm using like an
Alexa.

455
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Hold on a second.
If I use an Alexa, then I'll

456
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,120
just say play music, right?
And then it'll just play usually

457
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,480
the same stuff.
But I think my, my optimism it's

458
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,960
towards ChatGPT and telling it,
you know, give me some music

459
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,160
based on what I like.
Give me some new

460
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
recommendations, something that
you think I'll like.

461
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,920
I think that maybe this will
help expand it a little bit.

462
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,760
But you're right, when it just
defaults to playing, it usually

463
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,640
just goes right to the things it
knows you love the most.

464
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,160
By the way, I just have to call
out in our live audience.

465
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,480
I love seeing some updated
profile pictures.

466
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,920
I mean, Tim, this has been his
picture since he started joining

467
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,800
us after the conference.
Janae, I see updated his

468
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,520
picture.
It's so cool to see them with

469
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,960
the empowered podcasting step
and repeat sign behind them from

470
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,360
the conference a couple weeks
ago.

471
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,920
Just makes me smile.
Thank you for updating those and

472
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,240
giving me that smile this
morning.

473
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,160
Nick, anything else you want to
share on the AI front before we

474
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,800
move into more podcast casting
and content creation news so

475
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,520
along?
With that dev event, so the apps

476
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,880
was a big feature that they
launched.

477
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,520
And then the second big thing
that I'm excited about is what

478
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,560
they're calling their agent
builder.

479
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,600
And I know we've we've talked
about Zapier make any then was

480
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,960
one of the more recent AI tools
that we had talked about.

481
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
But this essentially brings that
kind of functionality into

482
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,960
ChatGPT, I guess, not ChatGPT
directly, but within open AI.

483
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,720
And it's essentially a drag and
drop editor that you can have AI

484
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,640
models connected to it.
You can have different MCPS

485
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,080
which you've talked about which
essentially allow AI to take

486
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600
action on apps.
So just as an.

487
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Example one of them that I'm
messing with right now.

488
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,040
I want to be able to have
ChatGPT almost do stuff for me

489
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,320
in my Notion board.
And Notion has their own MCP

490
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,400
server which allows it to create
pages, read information from

491
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,720
Notion, etcetera.
So you can set up work flows

492
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,440
that talk directly to Notion and
start taking action inside of

493
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600
your Notion board.
Like I want you to create a new

494
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,120
page or a new task called this,
set the new date for that,

495
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,600
whatever, and the AI will
actually go do that for you

496
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,120
without you even having to open
the app.

497
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,200
So that is.
Another new feature that that

498
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,200
you just launch that you should
have availability to right now,

499
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640
but you'll likely you'll likely
have to serve.

500
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,640
I mean, you will for agent
builder to actually find that

501
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,560
it's not going to be in the the
ChatGPT app itself.

502
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Very cool.
All right.

503
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,000
Thank you, Nick.
Appreciate the AI updates.

504
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,920
I'm going to keep things moving.
It sounds like you just got to

505
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,680
the office.
So let me keep things going with

506
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,760
some news bites.
These are some stories worth

507
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,400
sharing.
I I think they, they fall under

508
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600
this particular category.
We call them bites because we

509
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,280
make an assumption that maybe
there won't be tons of things to

510
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,760
talk about, but these are
important stories that we think

511
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,440
you want to hear.
So big update in creator tools.

512
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,720
If you're familiar with podcast
page dot IO, this is not pod

513
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,280
page that we use.
This is a competitor.

514
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:50,240
I believe podcast page dot IO is
rebranding as Beamly.

515
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,480
And it's not just a name change.
Beamly is evolving podcast page

516
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,080
dot IO from a podcast website
builder into a full creator hub,

517
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,320
a place to publish podcasts,
both audio and video, blog

518
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:10,160
posts, courses, digital
products, all under one roof.

519
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,600
So if you are a podcast page dot
IO user or searching for a

520
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,040
website builder that has a lot
more or a lot different a

521
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,440
variety of bells and whistles,
go and check that out.

522
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,960
You will be able to use this and
monetize in more ways.

523
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,800
Memberships, premium podcasts,
one time digital downloads, all

524
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:40,160
with pay attention here all with
0% platform fees on those native

525
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,600
tools.
The transition promises to be

526
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,080
smooth for existing users.
Your domain, your domains,

527
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,600
plans, member data, nothing
changes but the actual service

528
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,280
itself.
Instead of stitching together

529
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,160
multiple platforms, your podcast
host website, course tools,

530
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,760
paywall services, Beamly is
aiming to be the all in one

531
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,680
stack for creators.
Check out that I I was going to

532
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,480
say check out podcast page dot
IO, but I believe check out

533
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,000
Beamley BE AM LY for more info.
Dr. you want to take the next

534
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,680
one?
I sure do.

535
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,440
So Bartlett, Diary of the CEO
just made the leap to the big

536
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,240
screen, and we'll have more on
that in just a second.

537
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,560
Now, last week, Pod News
reported that select episodes

538
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,160
were being shown in the UK
cinemas for about 20 bucks a

539
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,280
ticket.
OK, even though those same

540
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,640
episodes drop for free on
YouTube and Spotify just 12

541
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,480
hours later.
Naturally, the Internet had

542
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,920
thoughts.
Like, who's paying for that?

543
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,520
Well, turns out a lot of people
are OK.

544
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,640
Glasgow's nearly sold out.
Manchester's about 80% full.

545
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,600
One London screen is packed with
another's over halfway there.

546
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,720
Even the largest screen in
London is moving tickets, so

547
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,640
he's pulling it off.
Let's say it's.

548
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,320
So fascinating.
I'm curious, would anybody,

549
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,200
let's say it's maybe this isn't
your favorite podcast, so just

550
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,360
put insert your favorite podcast
here and imagine them putting

551
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,040
the podcast up in a movie screen
in a movie theater that you

552
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,640
could get earlier than the
release date.

553
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,200
Would you do it?
Would you pay for it 20 bucks?

554
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,360
Hell no.
What if it was?

555
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,400
What if it was Conan's podcast
DRI still?

556
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,320
Wouldn't do it.
I'm so busy I can't even tell

557
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,720
you.
The last time I actually stepped

558
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,400
into a movie theater, I can't
even tell you.

559
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Well, a lot of.
People can say that these days,

560
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,000
apparently.
Nobody's going well.

561
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,920
I know.
It's not a podcast, but Taylor

562
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,560
Swift's movie made $30 million
this weekend, and it's a movie.

563
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,800
It's not a movie.
It's a video of one of her, I

564
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,960
don't know, one of her concerts.
No, it's not even a concert.

565
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,760
It's heard a new music video.
It's literally an MTV music

566
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,880
video.
And the behind the scenes of it

567
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,560
made $30 million this weekend.
So how?

568
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,360
Long Is it in late?
Do you know It's about an hour?

569
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Oh wow, that's hard to compare
it to the old MTV videos because

570
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,360
they they weren't usually in an.
Hour.

571
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,199
I mean, it's more like the.
Thriller video, if anything, by

572
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,679
Michael Jackson.
Yeah, I could totally.

573
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:27,679
See like something like
Smartlist or something like that

574
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560
and they went on tour.
People spent money for that,

575
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,280
but.
Going on tour live is a

576
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,840
completely different thing than
stepping into a movie theater

577
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,040
and sitting down and watching it
on the screen.

578
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,040
Agreed.
Agreed.

579
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,600
And I'm, I'm wondering this is
where I think it could work,

580
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,920
especially for these more
popular, these bigger shows.

581
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400
It does it's it provides
community.

582
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,840
Now you can actually sit with a
bunch of people who are as

583
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,480
passionate about your favorite
podcast as you are.

584
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,960
So yeah, you're not necessarily
going for the appeal of actually

585
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,000
seeing your favorite podcast
host live in front of you, but

586
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,560
maybe the appeal is that you get
to sit and enjoy it.

587
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,520
Alex with his example of
Smartlist, like that one I could

588
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,400
really see being a thing because
I know they have a passionate

589
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,960
audience and it's usually pretty
funny.

590
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,640
So I I'm just picturing people
laughing and just like you would

591
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,760
at a comedy movie.
I think it could work, But I I'm

592
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,920
not saying like you're crazy for
thinking Dr. like, like how can

593
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,640
this be pulled off?
But I think it could.

594
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,280
I think that movie theaters need
to find a new way of getting

595
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,440
Yeah, and.
They're doing that.

596
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,720
Whole thing where they're
they're showing a live events,

597
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:45,800
yeah.
Throughout the.

598
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,320
World I forget.
What it's called, but you see

599
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,200
them when you, you know, go to a
movie.

600
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,960
They have to reinvent their way
of doing things.

601
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,560
And if they know, to Mark's
point, on Friday between 7:00

602
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,400
and 8:00, they're going to have
a live broadcast or whatever it

603
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,760
is.
It it may work.

604
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,840
I can see what you're saying,
Dr. about I can't even keep up

605
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,560
with the podcast that I
supposedly subscribed to.

606
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,600
How am I going to, you know,
make time?

607
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,640
But that's the point is that
it's kind of like must see TV,

608
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,520
you know, it's must see
listening or whatever.

609
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,760
And then community could create
you know what?

610
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,360
I I see in my head is especially
with the Swifties, you know how

611
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,920
in Rocky Horror Pictures show
they go in costume My.

612
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,760
My daughter does that Dr. OK,
then, yes, now I would be so on

613
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,480
board with that.
So I would think that the

614
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,240
Swifties, when they see that
movie backstage thing that

615
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,480
they're besides backstage stuff,
they went in.

616
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,240
Costume.
Yeah, see.

617
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,520
There you go.
So I think that puts a whole

618
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,640
different slant on things.
Now if people want to go in

619
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,600
costume to see Diary of Aceo,
OK, that's fun.

620
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,840
Chicken.
That just be everybody.

621
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,320
In suits and ties and business
attire.

622
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,160
Yes.
But if you.

623
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,080
Create an event about it.
I mean, I can't think of who a

624
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,440
great get for Diary of Aceo
would be, but like you could

625
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,920
create an event.
I mean, LeBron James just

626
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,440
created a huge event that he
got.

627
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,320
You know, he did it a couple
times, but yesterday in

628
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,960
particular because he has a new
brand deal and anybody in the

629
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,680
sports world, when he decided to
go to Miami, it was must see TV

630
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,240
on ESPN for him to say that I'm
going to Miami, I'm taking my

631
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,320
talents to Miami.
So I mean, I can see how people

632
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,880
can create something from
nothing.

633
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,840
We've been doing it.
You know, it's just another PT

634
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,480
Barnum scam.
But you have to have the

635
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,320
content.
I can see this, Jonathan.

636
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,120
I think you might agree with me
on this.

637
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,960
Had the New Heights podcast with
the Kelsey brothers.

638
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,840
Had they done this on the big
screen, maybe even live stream

639
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,520
on the big screen when they had
Taylor join them, I think that

640
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,200
would have killed it in ticket
sales.

641
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,120
Killed it.
It's really a.

642
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,120
Matter of figuring out what's
the must see episodes that

643
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,760
you're doing and getting, you
know, creating the event and the

644
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,120
excitement around that.
And that will get people into

645
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,040
the theaters because $30 million
is nothing to sneeze at.

646
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,640
And there's obviously an
interest of people going to

647
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,480
theater having an event or
something and making it, you

648
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,000
know, memorable.
So why not podcast?

649
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,200
With the.
Kelsey Brothers, I can see

650
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,400
something a little different
since it's sports.

651
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,680
Instead of going into a movie
theater, what I can see in my

652
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:47,400
head is various bars and pubs
having these events and showing

653
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,160
it live, live stream at all the
events.

654
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,720
That would be a lot more than,
you know, walking into a a movie

655
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:56,560
theater, but they kind of do.
That already.

656
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,440
I'm not saying them per SE, but
they've been videoing radio

657
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,640
shows for years now.
To your point, yeah, it'll work

658
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:09,040
to put it in a movie.
It's got a theater like that.

659
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,120
I don't think it can be a
regular thing.

660
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,480
It's got to be either a once a
quarter, once a year type of

661
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,080
thing because I don't think as
much as the Swifties are are

662
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,480
loyal and everything else.
I mean, Jonathan, you're the

663
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,440
head of the Swifty fan club for
this group.

664
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,480
I don't think you want to do
that every week.

665
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,160
Thank you, Alex.
I think to be honest with you, I

666
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,800
think what would work really
well is the point you made

667
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,720
earlier.
I think if podcasts did live

668
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:39,680
streaming to movie theaters,
especially the really popular

669
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,520
ones, I think that they would do
particularly well because that

670
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,320
would be the draw, right?
Like instead of saying we're

671
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,560
going to release the recorded
produced episode 12 hours before

672
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,920
like Bartlett's doing, instead,
it's we're going to release the

673
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,040
actual live episode as we record
it unedited, unfiltered.

674
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,280
You know, that would be a draw
in my opinion.

675
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,480
Sid, I want to come to you.
I saw you wanted to add

676
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,440
something.
Good morning to you.

677
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:05,120
Good.
Morning, everybody.

678
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,440
I'm not a celebrity junkie.
I would not likely do this for

679
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,800
anybody.
I just can't think of anybody

680
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,120
that I would pay 20 bucks to go
see something in a theater.

681
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,840
But here's what I do think about
it.

682
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,520
I do you think that people are
craving entertainment?

683
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,440
They're craving fun, they're
craving laughter, they're

684
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:30,120
craving joy because the world's
a shit show and this is an

685
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,640
outlet for that.
This is a way for people to

686
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,200
relax and go have a good time
and do something that brings

687
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,480
them joy.
And so if these people are doing

688
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,440
it and they can get people there
to pay 20 bucks and somebody

689
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,520
paid 20 bucks for an hour and a
half has a really good time and

690
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,440
they laugh and they smile and
they leave in a good mood, then

691
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,040
I think it's a good thing.
Thank you, Sid.

692
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,080
I can't disagree with you there.
I think that you're right.

693
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,640
I think people are craving more
entertainment.

694
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,640
And yeah, I think that this is a
creative way to provide that Dr.

695
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Would go if it was Joe Rogan.
We all know that.

696
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,960
The only thing that I think it
does.

697
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,280
Is it gets you away from your
device?

698
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,600
Yes.
Especially the.

699
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,960
Younger generation, their head
is always down in that Dang

700
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,560
phone doing something.
And this gets you away from that

701
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,960
device.
And you know, it does put you in

702
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,440
a community.
Maybe you do meet somebody,

703
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,480
right?
But you're there with people who

704
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,600
all have the similar passions.
So if I'm going to go see the

705
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,200
live premiere of a Taylor Swift
premiere of a, you know, music

706
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,600
video and I'm with a whole bunch
of Swifty that I'm having a good

707
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,280
time and maybe I meet somebody
that becomes a friend.

708
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,440
I mean, I think it has some good
thing, good positive things all

709
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,000
around it, but more importantly,
it gets you out of that device.

710
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,160
Did anyone else hear Sid saying
get off my lawn?

711
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,840
No, no.
But at this point, there's two

712
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,800
things you got to think about.
You look at a Mr. Beast 1st and

713
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,640
for instance, he's got YouTube.
He's got all these different

714
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:02,000
avenues where everybody is kind
of siloed in their own world.

715
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,640
And now you take that to the
next level where you can create

716
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,280
that community where people can
come together.

717
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,760
That's a new level to this
point.

718
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,200
Not everybody's going to be able
to do this.

719
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,000
It's only a select few, and
those select few are already

720
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,120
making a bazillion dollars.
So to Jonathan's point, you

721
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,680
know, 30 million isn't a lot to
sneeze at.

722
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,240
For, for, for.
That I mean.

723
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:28,720
It's a good day's work for them,
but I, Mr. Beast, did a video.

724
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,560
I guarantee, I mean a movie, I
guarantee it would be.

725
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,600
It would go through as.
Well, I bet it would.

726
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,600
You're right.
All right, we're going to try to

727
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,400
wrap this part of the
conversation up because we have

728
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,040
so many more headlines to get
to.

729
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,760
And let's go to Mike Short.
Janae, I do see you there.

730
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,760
I'm going to come to you because
I think you're going to want to

731
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,280
talk about the next story with
us.

732
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,080
Mike Short, Good morning.
Welcome back to the stage.

733
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,440
What do you want to add?
Thanks.

734
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,880
There's just a.
Couple of things that I wanted

735
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,360
to add specifically for the
Diary of Aceo podcast.

736
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,960
I think a lot of it is people
that are looking to connect and

737
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,880
network with people because of
the content that's in the

738
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,960
podcast.
So for them, they're willing to

739
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,760
pay for that.
But my other thought is, in a

740
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,400
lot of ways, I think these type
of events could work because

741
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,960
it's a way listeners can give
back to the content creators.

742
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,200
It's not terribly different than
somebody who supports a YouTube

743
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,400
channel by being a member for
three or $5 a month.

744
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,000
That's just the way give back to
say thank you for the content

745
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,040
that that creator is putting out
there.

746
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,080
So those are a couple of things
that I don't think we've really

747
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,360
touched on as it could be based
on the content, wanting to

748
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,800
connect kind of like what you
said about community, but

749
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,720
specifically with that podcast
looking for other entrepreneurs

750
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:48,760
or or people that want to and do
run their own business, but more

751
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,360
generally just a way to support
content creators.

752
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,000
I love that, Mike, thank you for
saying that.

753
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,840
I think that's such a great
point.

754
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,760
And and that is The thing is
that you know you don't and I

755
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,400
believe you don't have to have a
Steve Bartlett audience to do

756
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,400
something like this.
Now, the numbers might look a

757
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,400
little different, but I do think
that a podcaster that has a, a

758
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,000
strong community could, could
get away with this.

759
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,040
They may want, it might look a
little different.

760
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:21,640
They may want to offer something
that they don't normally offer

761
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,640
as a podcast and do it as part
of the movie theater experience.

762
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,400
They may want to actually be
there and the the host themself

763
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,520
may want to be there, sit in the
audience with the audience and

764
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,440
watch that special episode that
they're putting on the the big

765
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,680
screen.
I think that there are things

766
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,800
and the fact that movie theaters
are challenged right now, I

767
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,400
think that you could work out
deals like this with a local

768
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,800
movie theater.
It's something cool and

769
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,680
interesting to explore and I'm
glad that we're chatting about

770
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,360
it.
All right, I want to keep things

771
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,560
moving.
So let's get to a couple of the

772
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,880
headlines before we lose the
rest of this hour.

773
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:06,560
Flight cast takes off again.
I'm back to Steve Bartlett.

774
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,480
He and an ex Mr. Beast engineer
launched a new platform for

775
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,680
video podcasting.
Again, that's that's flight cast

776
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:23,320
and it's aimed to simplify the
chaos around video podcast

777
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,680
distribution, analytics and
growth.

778
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:33,520
So think one upload to rule them
all, unified dashboards and AI

779
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,720
doing a lot of the heavy
lifting.

780
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,640
So instead of just juggling
metrics across platforms, having

781
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,680
to go to Apple, then Spotify and
YouTube creators gets

782
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,560
everything, views, downloads,
click through, rate, returning

783
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,200
listeners, viewers, etcetera all
in one place.

784
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,800
And then with the AI features
it'll do things like what Opus

785
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,560
or Riverside will do.
It'll automatically generate

786
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,080
clips from your full episodes.
It'll suggest titles,

787
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,040
descriptions, chapters,
etcetera.

788
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,880
AI driven insights like
specifically to your analytics.

789
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,320
Like they'll tell you what parts
are performing well, what

790
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,760
aren't, and the AI is tailored
or trained on you so it mimics

791
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,560
your style.
I find this really interesting

792
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,280
and not surprised this came out.
Like I.

793
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,480
I think this has been something
that a lot of creators have been

794
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,400
clamoring for to make our lives
a little easier.

795
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,320
Let me give you some pricing
after hearing all the things it

796
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,680
does.
So the first tier is a $50.00 a

797
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,760
month tier.
It allows you to upload 1080P

798
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,000
video.
You if you are getting up to

799
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,000
50,000 downloads a month, that
would be a package for you. 3

800
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,800
terabytes of storage, unlimited
transcripts, advanced analytics,

801
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,640
dynamic ads, you can add team
members, etcetera, $50.00 a

802
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,640
month for $100 a month.
The second tier you get

803
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,160
everything I just said plus 4K
video up to 100,000 downloads a

804
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,320
month, 6 terabytes of storage,
auto YouTube and Spotify sync

805
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,320
and it says here one times AI
clip generation per month and

806
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,760
advanced AI tools.
And then there's the legend

807
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:30,080
package, 250 bucks a month for
power users.

808
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,600
So you get 200 up to 250K
downloads a month, 15 terabytes

809
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,480
of storage, 4 times AI, clip
generation, expert AI and all

810
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,000
the pro features.
Now some people might think well

811
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:48,160
you may not need all that
storage space, even 3 terabytes

812
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,360
in the basic package.
But if you are a video podcast,

813
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,480
you're going to want that
storage space 'cause that 'cause

814
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,000
that video takes up way more
space than the audio does.

815
00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:04,440
So $50.00 a month for pro level
podcast tools and and really an

816
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,960
all in one place.
How do you feel about that?

817
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,760
Does that sound reasonable for
creators just starting to scale

818
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,200
up?
Should this be something for

819
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,640
newer creators to to get
involved with right away or

820
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,080
should they find something
cheaper?

821
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,560
What are?
What's everyone's thoughts?

822
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,160
Well.
I was thinking about putting one

823
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,600
of my clients podcasts on there,
but when you got down to the

824
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:35,280
prices, I kind of took a well,
let's, let's see where, let's

825
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,280
see where it goes before I start
experimenting.

826
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,920
I want everyone else to
experiment with it before I go

827
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,000
into it.
So yeah, the, you know, after

828
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,760
having YouTube be free, free,
free, and then all of a sudden

829
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,720
plopping down $50.00 for an
experiment that we don't know

830
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,400
that will work.
That doesn't seem you're not.

831
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,880
Ready to take the plunge?
I mean, listen, here's the

832
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,240
thing.
So yes, there are free

833
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:03,560
platforms.
And when I'm thinking about

834
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,760
podcasting specifically, you
know, Spotify for creators being

835
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,320
a free platform for us to upload
our shows and distribute.

836
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,800
I think about some of the other
platforms where they can cost

837
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,400
anywhere from 10 to $30.00 a
month depending on the plan and

838
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,280
the service.
So it's not that far off for

839
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,200
those who are paying for
services like Buzz Sprout, for

840
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,120
example.
And it's the big thing that I

841
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,240
find appealing is that
everything is in one place.

842
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:35,960
All the analytics, I can pull
them and just go directly to to

843
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,480
this service, find out what my
YouTube stats are, find out what

844
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,480
my Apple, Spotify, it's all
there together.

845
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,920
And that is really appealing to
me too.

846
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,880
And then of course, also this
would work well for the

847
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,040
podcasting morning chat because
we need more storage space.

848
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,400
So like Buzz Sprout, we had to
leave Buzz Sprout basically

849
00:49:55,400 --> 00:50:00,120
because it was going to be
really expensive to, to host all

850
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,720
this storage space.
So I went to a free place,

851
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,160
Spotify for creators.
I just saw somebody had

852
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,200
something they wanted to add for
someone.

853
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:13,040
That doesn't know any better and
doesn't want to think it's

854
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,560
great.
And for people that do know

855
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,214
better and don't want to have
to, the all in

856
00:50:37,319 --> 00:50:38,200
Thank you.
Alex Yeah.

857
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,880
And another thing that I think
makes it really worth it is the

858
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,960
fact that the AI will help you
with your analytics and

859
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,800
understanding them and what's
working, what's not.

860
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,000
And then I find that will make
it a lot easier to make

861
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,880
adjustments along the way to
help improve your growth.

862
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,400
I'm tempted to be honest with
you, I'm not sure yet if it's

863
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,800
what I want because mainly
because we are an audio first

864
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,800
podcast.
I know I shared earlier when we

865
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,720
started, we do YouTube live and
stuff like that, but that's

866
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:15,080
really for the most part all I'm
doing on YouTube and I'm not

867
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,760
putting any video except for
clips once in a while on

868
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,920
Spotify.
So that would be the only reason

869
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,120
to hold me back.
But still, there's so much more

870
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,400
that draws me to it.
So to be continued, Mark, I have

871
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:28,360
a couple of.
Questions.

872
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,240
Is this a?
Hosting platform.

873
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,200
It's partially A hosting
platform.

874
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,720
Yes, it will distribute audio
and video OK, but it.

875
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:39,720
Sounds like it's a video first
platform.

876
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,280
Can you repeat what's included
in the $50 again?

877
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:44,880
Sorry, yeah.
Absolutely.

878
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,280
Let me grab it.
Hold on a second.

879
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,680
We've got the basic package
$50.00 a month gives you the

880
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,680
1080P uploads for video up to
50,000 downloads a month.

881
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,680
So if you are, you know, power
podcast that you have to think

882
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,120
about that.
I think for a lot of indie

883
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:06,240
podcasters that's no problem. 3
terabytes of storage, unlimited

884
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:10,520
transcripts, advanced analytics,
dynamic ad inserts and you can

885
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,960
add team members.
OK.

886
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,280
Thank you.
Listening to that, I'm not sure

887
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,360
that I would do it, but it also
because it sounds like it's a

888
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:20,720
video 1st and I'm not a video
first.

889
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:24,560
So if I had similar to what you
said earlier, if I had more

890
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,400
intent around a YouTube strategy
and trying to grow on a video

891
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,080
platform, maybe it would make
sense.

892
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:36,400
But as a secondary aspect of
where video falls for me, I

893
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,440
don't think it would be worth
it.

894
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,680
I do love the analytics and
bringing all that together

895
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,080
because that's really hard to
do.

896
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,320
To Alex's point, you got to go
all these different places and

897
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,080
takes a lot of time, and then
you got to figure out how to

898
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,440
analyze them.
So I do like that aspect, Yep.

899
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,760
I hear you said it makes sense
and I don't know.

900
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,440
It doesn't bother me that it's a
video first platform as long as

901
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,360
it still distributes my audio to
all the platforms I wanted to go

902
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,480
to.
And and I think that like you

903
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,000
said, the analytics that really
is very appealing to me.

904
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,240
Janae, did you want to chime in?
Good morning, everyone.

905
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,080
So here's some of the things I
want to talk about.

906
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,080
Flight Cast.
Let's look at the numbers,

907
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,800
right?
The Diary of a Seer has 12.8

908
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,640
million subscribers on their
YouTube channel.

909
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,160
I don't know about the other
platforms, but each of their

910
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,960
videos are getting over 500,000
views within two days.

911
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,280
But within.
Six days, nine days, they're

912
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,360
getting hitting 2,000,001 and a
half million marks on YouTube.

913
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,120
So that's because they have a
hard number.

914
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,280
Now.
They experiment like crazy on

915
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,200
every single video, the shorts,
the trailers.

916
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,960
And that's something that the
industry is also copying like

917
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,520
hey, this is the dire of CEO is
in the trailer.

918
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,040
Like we want to do the same
thing because again, they've

919
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,160
done the research, they've done
the work.

920
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:03,160
So imagine getting to work with
that team at a price of $50.00 a

921
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,920
month.
So that's what they're bringing

922
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,200
to their platform because guess
who's going to be using this

923
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,360
platform?
They're probably been using this

924
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:14,080
platform for themselves, right?
And now they've enabled it for

925
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,800
us to be able to use it.
So that's one of the reasons I'm

926
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,160
like, I'm in because I have to,
I have to spend less time.

927
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,840
They've got experts working on
this thing.

928
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,840
It's almost like working with
Gary Vee's team for your social

929
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,280
media marketing.
And now you're working with

930
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,520
somebody on that level for your
podcast.

931
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,280
So why not?
Yeah, I like that.

932
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,800
Perspective.
Yeah, thank you, Janae.

933
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,360
That makes a lot of sense.
And again, you know, to some

934
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,680
like Sid, it may not still may
not make enough sense to do

935
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,520
$50.00 a month.
But Janae, I'm curious, your

936
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,680
podcast hosting platform, who do
you use?

937
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,600
Right now I use.
Spotify because I don't want to

938
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,840
pay any money, but because of
all of these features, right?

939
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:57,600
I'm paying Zoom, I'm paying
Otter, I'm paying chat TBT, I'm

940
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,200
paying all of these other
platforms much more than $50.00

941
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,160
a month.
Opus Clips.

942
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,640
On the other one, right, So if
you consolidate all of those

943
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,440
costs and bring it to one place,
it's a it's a steal and it's a

944
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,360
deal and you're not jumping
anymore between multiple

945
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,840
different platforms to get good
results and analytics.

946
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,400
Yeah, makes sense.
OK, cool.

947
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,000
Thank you, Janae.
Appreciate your perspective as

948
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,800
well.
And we are at the top of the

949
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,880
hour.
So we a reminder that we are

950
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,480
back tomorrow, 7:00 AM Eastern
Time.

951
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,120
Tomorrow is we haven't named
this segment yet, but if you

952
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,320
remember last week, we've deemed
Thursdays as our clip days where

953
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,880
we're going to play a clip from
fellow content creators talking

954
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,920
about their tips, tricks,
etcetera for podcasting, content

955
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,960
creation, etcetera.
And we're going to talk about

956
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,560
them, whether we agree, whether
we disagree, how we do things.

957
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,040
So join us tomorrow, 7:00 AM
