11/15/2017 The rise of the podcast adaptation
To succeed, a podcast adaptation should draw on televisions strengths. When the makers of This American Life, the genre-defining audio series, turned to creating a documentary series of the same name (broadcast on Showtime in 2007 and 2008), they applied their storytelling nous and feel for unusual characters to new stories. It blended the essence of the radio show with stunning visuals—one episode followed a photographer, another illustrated a couple’s disintegrating marriage with animations—and went on to win two Emmy awards. It kept the feel of the podcast, but it was not beholden to it.

11/13/2017 Podcasting App Transcribes Shows for Better Search
We called this one, a long time ago. Since then, we’ve been watching the development of natural language processing in the podcasting space ever since. It is starting to come together.

Podcasts are a product driven by words, spoken words, but, unlike words in text, they are not words that are easily indexed by the crawling robots of Mountain View and Redmond (that is, Googles and Bings). A lot of good information is hiding in podcasts that could be useful to people, but they ca n not access it because it’s not searchable.

11/11/2017 Here is Exactly How You Build A Seven Figure Podcast
Podcasting and spoken word audio has been all the rage these days with a number of influential entrepreneurs and online personalities such as Gary Vaynerchuk touting its potential.

11/07/2017 How To Jumpstart Your Online Profile With A Podcast
With the best will in the world, even if you started a blog today, it would take months if not years for you to grow an audience of readers. That’s if you don’t run out of steam first. Even as far back as the blogging hey-days of 2009, the New York Times released data showing that 95% of blogs were abandoned. It’s not surprising. Writing well is not something everyone can do (despite what many business leaders think about their blogs). An even greater barrier is the time they take to make. Given that research from BuzzSumo now shows it’s long-form content (3000+ word articles) that are more likely to get shared - that is a big time commitment.

And from the elected officials perspective, the appeal is obvious. They can sidestep media gatekeepers and beam their personalities and priorities straight to their constituents ears, all while heightening their national brands, perhaps in anticipation of seeking higher office. It is less clear what the constituents get out of the deal.
