But with the return, I want to address several somber and even controversial questions you might have related to podcasting.

For example:

• How should you prepare your podcast for your own death? • Should you address current issues or tragedies in your podcast? • Should you talk about morality or politics in your podcast?

Please send me your own additional questions you would like me to address! Send written or voicemail feedback (optionally anonymously) to:

https://podcastfeedback.com/audacity

The Audacity to Podcast will return on September 24.

But how do you find the first shows you should try getting on?

Who is the IAB?

What are IAB stats

• These IAB guidelines get updated every few years. As of March 2024, the latest version is 2.2 still in proposal stage for public comment.: https://iabtechlab.com/press-releases/iab-tech-labs-podcast-technical-working-group-announces-podcast-measurement-updates-for-public-comment/

IAB "compliance" versus "certification"

• You can see the list of certified podcasting companies here.: https://iabtechlab.com/compliance-programs/compliant-companies/#

Why IAB-certified podcast stats are good

But every standard will have loopholes

• Some podcast networks put ads in mobile games: https://time.com/6217261/podcasters-buying-listeners-mobile-game-ads/
• In my past research for testing the fastest podcast hosting: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/who-offers-the-fastest-podcast-hosting-tap335/

Why you don't actually need IAB-certified podcast stats

I've changed my mind about IAB certification

Although I didn't plan it this way, the timing of this episode is perfect because I just launched a new feature on Podgagement that automatically transcribes audio feedback from your audience!: https://podgagement.com/

Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/transcripts

1. Don't believe the myths about podcast transcripts

Myth 1: "Transcripts are good for podcast SEO"

Myth 2: "Transcripts make your podcast accessible"

2. (Optional) Use transcripts with podcast-production tools

• Here are my current favorite transcription-based tools to help when your episode is still in this early post-production stage right after you've record:
• Descript (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/descript
• Adobe Podcast (audio)
• Adobe Premiere Pro (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/audition
• Adobe Audition (audio transcript features coming soon)
• Hindenburg (audio)

3. Make properly formatted podcast transcripts

• Easy access to artificial intelligence (AI) tools has made creating transcripts a whole lot faster, easier, and cheaper. The editing tools I mentioned all use AI to generate their transcripts, or you could use other services, too:

• Castmagic: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/castmagic

• Capsho: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/capsho

• Auphonic

• Buzzsprout's Cohost AI addon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout

• Transistor's AI transcripts feature

• Otter

• Rev

• These use OpenAI's free and open-source Whisper model.

• MacWhisper Pro (macOS, free and paid versions)—this is what I used and usually get really good results from: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/macwhisper

• Whisper GUI (Windows, free): https://grisk.itch.io/whisper-gui

• Run Whisper from the command line (free, but super geeky): https://github.com/openai/whisper

4. Edit your podcast transcripts

5. Put the podcast transcripts in the right places

6. (Optional) Use your podcast transcripts for promotion

• Magai: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/magai
• Castmagic: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/castmagic
• Capsho: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/capsho
• Buzzsprout: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout

How duplicate podcast listings happen

Reason 1: a secondary feed was automatically discovered and indexed

• Podpage: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/podpage
• a feed proxy: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-proxies-and-ios-14-5-affect-your-podcast/

Reason 2: the podcast was resubmitted

The duplicate podcast listing problem gets worse, especially in Apple Podcasts

• But it's even worse in Apple Podcasts since iOS 14.5!: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-proxies-and-ios-14-5-affect-your-podcast/

How to fix your duplicate podcast listing in proxy-based services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify

Step 1: Ask the platform to merge your listings

Step 2: Redirect properly

Step 3: Make a new RSS feed with a single announcement episode

Step 4: Change the feed URL in the platform's portal

Step 5: Redirect and delete after a few months

Unfortunate conclusion: it's messy and you might still lose some numbers

Important reminder: do not resubmit your feed!

Sidenote: "genre" and "category" are often used interchangeably in podcasting, but I'll stick with the "category" term for this episode.

Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/categories

Categories in Apple Podcasts

• Apple's 110 podcast categories: https://podcasters.apple.com/support/1691-apple-podcasts-categories

Podcasts can be in more than one category

The primary category matters most

4 steps to pick the right categories for your podcast

• Apple's 110 podcast categories: https://podcasters.apple.com/support/1691-apple-podcasts-categories

1. Ignore the charts and saturation

• Apple Podcasts statistics from Podcast Industry Insights: https://podcastindustryinsights.com/apple-podcasts-statistics/

2. See where your "competitors" are

3. Pick what best describes your content

4. Pick where your audience would expect to find your podcast

With that update, your audience on Apple Podcasts is no longer getting your podcast directly from your RSS feed, but from a proxy. And that has some potentially bad implications!

Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/proxies

What is a proxy?

• Feedburner: https://feedburner.google.com • Podcast Mirror: https://podcastmirror.com

Why use a feed proxy?

• Why you may NOT want to host your own podcast RSS feed: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/why-you-may-not-want-to-host-your-own-podcast-rss-feed/

What did iOS 14.5 change?

• How many podcasts are in Apple Podcasts? https://podcastindustryinsights.com/apple-podcasts-statistics/

The potentially dark side of Apple's (or any app's) own feed proxy

But would Apple actually use this power?

Spotify, Stitcher, and some others also use their own feed proxies

Hello, censorship?

• China censors censorship: https://share.america.gov/in-china-you-cant-say-these-words/

Somewhat similar to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and such

A technical aside for and explicit episodes

Podcasting 2.0 provides better solutions!

Here's some more information and statistics on the podcast industry, with data from My Podcast Reviews.

I'll help you decide whether you should start using Gutenberg for your podcast's WordPress website.

What is the Gutenberg Editor?

Gutenberg's benefits 1 - Make repeatable content and templates with reusable blocks 2 - Unlock more content-formatting options 3 - Replace many separate plugins with Gutenberg features 4 - Use high-quality themes and plugins to get more Gutenberg blocks and options 5 - Paste formatted text without so many worries 6 - Edit faster and without page-refreshes 7 - Navigate your post quickly with an outline 8 - Access advanced options more easily 9 - Edit a block in HTML for advanced needs

Gutenberg's disadvantages 1 - It's a drastic change 2 - There are still some compatibility issues with other plugins 3 - It may slow down some editing functionality 4 - Managing reusable blocks is a little weird right now 5 - Many features may be more simplistic than you want

Tips for using Gutenberg 1 - Install the plugin version if you want the latest version 2 - Install the "Classic Editor" plugin 3 - Don't worry about your past content

1. You don’t have to know HTML, CSS, PHP, or JavaScript to design your own webpages
2. A page-builder makes web-design fast with WYSIWYG drag-and-drop editing
3. A good page-builder can be used anywhere on your site
4. A page-builder lets you build sections and pages “in your own image”
5. Page-builders will probably someday integrate directly into the Gutenberg editor

Tips for using a WordPress page-builder

1. Ensure your theme is compatible
2. Use a page-builder only when you need more than Gutenberg can offer
3. Avoid page-builders for full post content
4. Use global styles over single styles whenever possible
5. Look for free or premium add-ons to extend your chosen builder

Our favorite WordPress page-builders

1. Elementor Pro
2. Divi Builder
3. Beaver Builder
4. Themify Builder
