Does Castbox Understand Podcasting? #211

June 30, 2018 ~ Mike ~ Leave a comment

Todd Cochrane of Blubrry and Rob Greenlee of Voxnest dig into the issue surrounding the podcast feed hijacking and mirroring of feeds that Castbox undertook to apparently swing Google search results to their site and the ramifications of this action. It’s time again for podcasters to protect the intellectual property of their highly valued RSS feed, and ensure that third parties do not hijack and or mirror them ever.

We have not seen any company do this in a long time but with the recent Google Podcast player this is likely to show up again as companies try to manipulate listeners onto their platforms versus their home sites.

James Cridland – PodNews.net #210

June 16, 2018 ~ Mike ~ Leave a comment

Todd Cochrane and Rob Greenlee welcome James Cridland from PodNews.net to the show this week to talk podcasting and what is happening in the international scenes. Lots of ground covered here and some very good thought points on growing the industry and questions that we should be asking. He hammers home some of the same topics we have been raising on this show for a very long time. Plus reminds us of the common enemy we had at the beginning of the podcasting space. The question is who is that common enemy now.

Happy Podcasting!

Time Machine #209

Rob Greenlee and Todd Cochrane take a trip back in the Time Machine and do some compare and contrast in regards to what is happening in the podcasting space today. I think you will find this conversation stimulating as we challenge all of you that are listening to this show in helping us educate new podcasters coming into the podcasting space.
