6 Cautions When Using Redirects in Podcasting (plus best practices)
Redirects come in multiple types. When misused, they can cause some major problems, as even happened to me recently. Here are some warnings to watch for whenever you use redirects. Check out my past episode and article, “Redirects and How to Use Them in Podcasting” to learn more about how redirects work and the different options there are. (As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases through some —but not all—of the following links. But I recommend things I truly believe in, regardless of earnings.) Caution #1: 301 redirects are “permanent” and cached In podcasting, we throw around the term “301 redirect” or “permanent redirect” often without realizing what that actually means: it is (or at least it's assumed to be) permanent! I often use the physical mail or US Post Office metaphor when explaining redirects. Think of a permanent redirect as a “change of address” notice sent back to everyone who mails you something. A 301 redirect is permanent and is essentially telling apps, “This thing has moved to over there. Please stop looking here and always look there instead. So don't look at me again.” This is great when you actually made a permanent move—or at least intend for it to be permanent. Like when you permanently move homes and change your address! But if you ever change your mind or—even worse—make a mistake in the redirect, that redirect will be followed and the old URL will stop being checked. So if you make a “/feedback” page that 301-permanently redirects somewhere else, then even if you change where “/feedback” goes, any app that previously loaded “/feedback” will bypass it altogether and go straight to the destination it has saved in its cache. That cache is sometimes cleared, but you should assume it never will be! (However, this doesn't apply for anyone visiting your redirect for the first time.) So if you get your 301 permanent redirect wrong and you don't fix it immediately —like within a few minutes —the best thing to do is to also redirect that incorrect destination to the correct one. And, unfortunately, that's not always possible. Thus, I recommend that, if possible, you make your redirect a 307 or 302 temporary redirect first, test it over a few days, and then change it to a 301 permanent redirect. Caution #2: Your redirect destinations might change or disappear Contrary to the Stanley cup craze of spring 2024, my favorite water thermos has been a <a class="aawp-link" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5GRCZB?tag=theaudacitytopodcast-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1" title="Contigo Ashland Chill Autospout Water Bottle with Flip Straw, Stainless Steel Thermal Drinking Bottle,Leakproof,Grey

11 Tips for Sharing URLs in Your Podcast
There comes a point in every podcast when it's necessary to say a URL. If for nothing else, at least your podcast's own home on the Internet. (And you should have a domain for your podcast!) Beyond your podcast website, you might also want to share affiliate links, resources, episode notes, past episodes, sponsors, and more. Here are 11 tips for how to share URLs effectively in your podcast. (As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases through some of these following links. But I recommend things I truly believe in, regardless of earnings.) 1. Speak as few URLs as possible (per episode) Every URL is essentially a call to action. That could be where to follow you on social networks, the episode's webpage, your support page, where to send feedback, and much more. And calls to action are most effective when there are very few of them, but they are reinforced multiple times. This is why you'll hear most ads give the call to action (like visiting a website) at least 3 times. That's a good practice for your podcast, too. But with all the URLs you might want to share, you'll start overwhelming your audience and making each URL less memorable. For this reason, I recommend that you say as few URLs as possible—maybe only one! But don't make it the same URL across all your episodes! For example, if I kept telling you to get the links for this episode at “TheAudacitytoPodcast.com,” that works best only when this is my latest episode. But the more episodes I publish, the more this episode gets shifted down my website's front page, and eventually pushed off the front page. Thus, I recommend having a unique URL for each episode that will always take your audience to the correct information—whether they listen immediately or 5 years later. This is easy to do on WordPress with my favorite plugin Pretty Links Pro . 2. Defer to your chapters or episode notes If you follow tip #1, then your single URL should be your episode webpage. There, you can include all the things you want your audience to get or see: images, videos, links, buttons, and more. Make sure this stuff—at least the links—appear in your episode notes within the podcast apps, too! Because many publishing tools and podcast apps follow different standards, the best thing to do would be to ask the maker of your publishing tool how to ensure your links show in your top podcast apps, and they can give you the right guidance for your situation. But the most universal case is—unfortunately—that a full, ugly URL, like “https://theaudacitytopodcast.com” will work more often than an HTML hyperlink, like <a href="https

11 Warnings about Using AI in Content-Creation (including podcasting)
“Artificial intelligence” (“AI”) has made huge leaps in abilities within a very short time. It was only a few years ago that I felt on the cutting edge teaching how to use AI tools like Jasper (originally called “ Conversion.ai ” and “Jarvis”), even before ChatGPT was released. Now, AI has become so prominent, that it's almost surprising if a software company of any size is not offering some kind of AI-based solution. While inflation has skyrocketed the prices of almost everything, the cost for accessing AI has significantly dropped. When I first started using AI, a good plan with access to only one central AI system cost $99 per month. But now, you can use a tool like Magai to use a whole bunch of different language- and image-based AI tools starting at only $19 per month! (As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases through these links. But I recommend things I truly believe in, regardless of earnings.) All this potential means we need to quote the line from Spider-Man, “With great power comes great responsibility.” And thus why I want to share these warnings with you, to advocate for responsible use of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), machine learning, or whatever you want to call it. This warnings apply to any kind of content-creation, not only podcasting! (And in case you're wondering, I did not use AI to create any of this content, but I might be using some AI to transcribe or help me market this content.) Aside: most warnings apply to generative AI, but not repurposing or enhancement AI Before I get into my list of warnings about using AI, I want to clarify that these are focused using AI to essentially create something from nothing. I still think AI can be a great assistant on your content. For example, processing audio or video, clipping excerpts, suggesting marketing approaches, improving how things communicate, repurposing, and more. All of those things start with your intelligence, and then the AI works from that. But I see most of these warnings as applying solely to generative AI, or when you start with nothing but a prompt. Now, on to the warnings! 1. Undisclosed use of generative AI can get you in trouble YouTube, social networks, and lots of other websites and platforms are starting to require you to disclose whenever you're putting out content generated by AI. And I think this is a good thing

Should Your Podcast Have Inside Jokes?
Inside jokes can offer fun potential for your podcast, but also some potential costs. Here are some brief things for you to consider as you engage with your podcast audience. In my signature fashion, I started preparing a whole list of pros and cons, and some big thinking on inside jokes. But it's really not that complicated! An inside joke is some form of callback, trope, catchphrase, or similar that only those “in the know” will get and enjoy. Because of this, inside jokes can be hilarious, but only for those who get them. Inside jokes can be a sort of reward your loyal audience, but alienate your new audience. I've heard some people advise against inside jokes exactly because your new audience won't get them. But that seems overly focused on the new audience and at the cost of engaging your existing audience and making them feel special. I think it really comes down to this simple guidance: avoid inside jokes with your cohosts and guests, but embrace inside jokes with your audience . Where inside jokes come from First, some examples of inside jokes I've heard from podcasts: “Lemons, lemons” from That Story Show “Hit in the mouth” from No Agenda “KEDAKAI!” from Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend “Super easy; barely an inconvenience” from Pitch Meeting (series on YouTube, so it is not a podcast! ) “Mail Kimp” from Serial (first season) If you've been a loyal follower of any of these shows, then you probably know exactly what these jokes are about, or at least can laugh at them. So where do these come from? Some jokes will arise naturally as your audience essentially feeds their growth. That's what I've seen with inside jokes from That Story Show , No Agenda , and Serial . While other things become inside jokes because of how often the host(s) use them, such as the examples from Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend and Pitch Meeting . It's the audience-feed jokes that I think you should work more to embrace because they will more deeply reward and engage your audience. What about the new listeners? There are three approaches I've seen and experienced with podcasts regarding inside jokes: Letting your podcast audience eventually catch on with your inside jokes (even if they might not know their origins). Occasionally explaining or pointing to the origins. Making a glossary of inside jokes—this could ev

Why You Should Put Podcasting P.R.O.F.I.T. First
Monetization is not the only profit you can get from podcasting! And you shouldn't be the only one to profit, either! Nonetheless, here is why I think you should put P.R.O.F.I.T. first in every aspect of your podcast. The order of podcasting cornerstones Before we focus on podcasting P.R.O.F.I.T., I want to revisit how I've taught the 5 podcasting cornerstones for several years: Content—What your podcast is about Presentation—How you share your content Production—The technical side to reduce distractions and increase understanding Promotion—How you market and grow your podcast P.R.O.F.I.T.—How you and your audience benefit from your podcast. Despite the fact that these cornerstones have always had an alliteration problem with no suitable solution, I realized it had an even bigger problem while I was preparing to teach podcasting at the National Religious Broadcasters convention. The problem was the order: P.R.O.F.I.T. should not be last! It should actually be first! But stick with me and don't click away because you think this doesn't apply to you! Before I can explain why P.R.O.F.I.T. should be first, I want you to understand what it is, and why I keep writing it like an over-obvious acronym (it's actually an acrostic). The Podcast P.R.O.F.I.T. Paradigm™ Several years ago, I was inspired by a typo I let go to press in an advertisement for my now temporarily retired Podcaster's Society™. As a result of that typo, I wanted profit to stand for something! Not only in the metaphorical sense, but also literally as an acrostic. Now, it's my Podcast P.R.O.F.I.T. Paradigm, which is a list of whys you can benefit from your podcast: Popularity—growing a following, being an influencer, becoming known Relationships—gaining friendships, building community, and finding your “tribe” Opportunities—opening doors for things like public speaking, travel, testing products before they're released, and such Fun—simply having a good time, with or without laughter Income—yes, earning money! Tangibles—getting things you get to use or keep, which is especially profitable when they're relevant to your podcast topic! While most people think “profit” means “money,” I challenge you to change your thinking and look at the much bigger ways you can profit from your podcast—especially if you don't even want to monetize your podcast. The other paradigm shift is that your podcast should not only give you P.R.O.F.I.T., but also offer it to your audience! I'll explain that more in a moment. P.R.O.F.I.T. is for all podcasters, not only professionals Lest you think P.R.O.F.I.T. is only for people who podcast for business purposes or to

8 Things You Should Check in Apple Podcasts Connect
Apple provides a portal for you to submit and manage your own podcast in Apple Podcasts. It's called Podcasts Connect. Plus, countless other podcast apps and podcasting tools rely on Apple's data through their free API. Whether your podcast has been in Apple Podcasts for years, or you're just starting out, I suggest you check these 8 things right away! 1. Check that you have agreed to Apple's terms of service Apple usually updates their terms of service when they launch major new features. For example, Apple started generating transcripts for all podcasts in February, 2024. And that requires your agreement to their terms of service so that they can make those transcripts, which they won't do until you agree. Apple makes it easy to know whether you've agreed to the latest terms. Simply log into podcastsconnect.apple.com ! If you're let into your account, then you've already agreed to the latest terms. If not, you will be prompted to read and agree to the terms before you're allowed to manage your podcast(s). And if you're offering a paid subscription to your audience through Apple Podcasts, check the Business tab to see if there are any actions you need to take. There might be additional new terms you must agree to, or you might need to provide legal or financial information . (This page will also display your invoices and tax information if you have any sales.) 2. Check that your podcast is in your Apple Podcasts Connect account Many podcasters don't actually control their own catalog listing for their own podcast! This is because they either submitted their podcast before Podcasts Connect existed, or they allowed someone else to submit their podcast for them. This might have been a podcast-hosting provider or someone helping them with their podcast. But at least the process to reclaim ownership is fairly easy! Make sure you've checked all your possible Apple ID accounts. Log into the account you want to hold your podcast(s) and contact Apple through this form and select the “Missing podcast(s)” option (which should already be selected with this link). Fill in all the other form fields completely. Await and then follow Apple's instructions, which will have you enter a special code somewhere in your podcast RSS feed to verify your ownership or control of that feed. This is crucial to do with all your podcasts, especially any duplicate podcast listings you might have (which is probably more likely i

Do IAB-Certified Stats Matter for Your Podcast?
You might have heard people talk about IAB podcast stats, measurement guidelines, compliance, and certification. Here's what all of that means, and whether it even matters! Who is the IAB? Once upon a time, podcast measurement was considered the “wild, wild west”: without standards. Everyone measured what was right in their own eyes. But like most things that start with “Once upon a time,” that was only fairy tale. And yet a fairy tale that many corporate podcasting companies believed. Many years ago, there was the Association of Downloadable Media (ADM) that included Blubrry , Libsyn , Podtrac , and other podcasting companies. The ADM came up with standards for measuring podcast downloads still in the extremely early days of podcasting. The ADM eventually dissolved and top podcasting companies improved on the measurement standards within their own proprietary systems. Then along came the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB), involving many of those same original podcast-hosting providers but also large distribution networks like PodcastOne and more. As its name implies, the IAB is all about internet advertising. And the podcasting industry needed a standard way to measure podcast ad impressions. And thus, the IAB podcast measurement guidelines were born with version 1.0 in September 2016! What are IAB stats IAB's podcast measurement guidelines are actually not rigid standards, but mere guidelines for podcast-analytics providers to use. Like Elizabeth Swan said in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl , “Hang the code and hang the rules! They're more like guidelines anyway!” Without getting into the technical details, these guidelines are intended to filter out any kind of invalid podcast download in attempts to get an accurate count of how many people actually downloaded or streamed the episodes (and with the hopes, backed by survey data, that most of the people actually listen to most of those episodes). (Sidenote: podcast “streams” are also downloads, simply not downloaded until the person presses play.) These guidelines involve things like the following. Ignoring all downloads from an IP address blacklist (such as data centers, bot farms, and such) Ignoring all downloads from known invalid user agents (how a downloading app or service identifies itself)

How to Use Podcast Transcripts
Transcripts have long been promoted as ways to make your podcast more findable and accessible. But it's only recently that podcast transcripts have become actually useful! 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 ! This topic is also very timely because of the release of iOS 17.4, which brings podcast transcripts into Apple Podcasts! ( Learn more about those implications from The Future of Podcasting . ) (As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases through some of these following links. But I recommend things I truly believe in, regardless of earnings.) 1. Don't believe the myths about podcast transcripts For many years, people have been promoting transcripts for the wrong reasons. I've also been pitched by many transcription companies pushing the wrong approach. While there are elements of truth in these two common myths, the ways people often promote and understand these two ideas are where the information become myth—of “mythinformation”? Myth 1: “Transcripts are good for podcast SEO” People have often said that you should publish podcast transcripts on your website to make your podcast findable through search-engine optimization (SEO). But that's not the full truth. Yes, transcripts are better than nothing or a mere paragraph or list of topics. But transcripts result in a lot of words and actually very little content, resulting in very low quality writing (probably even worse than AI-created text or writing from non-natives of the language). For example, a two-cohost podcast transcript might look like this: Jack: Welcome to the our podcast, where we talk about things to help you do stuff! I'm Jack! Jill: And I'm Jill. Jack: Before we get into this topic, how are you doing, Jill? Jill: The weather is sunny today, so I'm great! Jack: Great! Jill: Yeah. What about you? Jack: I'm fine, but I don't know what the weather is, but— Jill: That's sad. Jack: What do mean? Jill: I mean, you're saying that you haven't gone outside or even looked out a window in a while. Jack: Yeah, but it's okay. Jill: So anyway! Jack: Yes! Let's jump into this week's topic. … Note that in this fictional example, there are a lot of words, but you've learned nothing from this excerpt! That kind of back-and-forth is fine in a conversation and can even sometimes be okay in a podcast. But it writing, it becom

Top 5 Podcasting 2.0 Features You Should Try
Podcasting 2.0 is revolutionizing podcasting for podcasters, audiences, and developers. Here are what I think are the best features you should try now, if you can. For extra context, listen to my previous episode about Podcasting 2.0 and why it matters . Some of these features are still in development. Visit our new Podcasting2.org website to see the apps and publishing/hosting tools that support these features . (In the near future, CanIPodcast.com will let you see the complete overview of what features are supported where.) 1. Cross-app comments When I recently attended Podfest Multimedia Expo, I was talking with a woman interested to know more about Podcasting 2.0. She lit up with excitement over two things: cross-app comments and live streaming. The vision of cross-app comments is simple. Imagine being able to comment on an episode you're listening without leaving your podcast app! Even better, others can reply to you from their different podcast apps! This is what cross-app comments will allow: audience comments from multiple podcast apps but all going into the same stream of activity so you and others can engage from preferred apps. While I think this is the most exciting feature for everyone , it's also proving to be the most complicated to implement. Developers have to think about performance, data portability, authentication, and giving you moderation control. But when these features are all solved, this will be a dynamite feature! And the best part is that this engagement can occur completely without leaving the podcast app! (But there will be other systems to let you monitor and engage with your audience. For example, I'll be building this into Podgagement whenever the development issues are resolved.) 2. Live streaming When I spoke with that woman at Podfest, the other thing she was most excited about was the ability to live-stream with live engagement directly into her audience's podcast apps . That's what the “live item tag” (or sometimes called “LIT”) is designed to do! Live-streaming isn't a good fit for all podcasts or podcasters. It presents a whole new layer of complexity and multiple distractions. But when you can manage it well, live-streaming is a fantastic way to engage your most loyal audience in real-time. Podcasting 2.0's live feature will let you live-stream directly into the modern podcast apps. You start by scheduling your upcoming event, and your audience will see that in their apps. When you go live, you audience can receive push notifications and then jump to listening or watching live. There's even the potential to have yo

Best Podcast Hosting Providers (2024)
Get the latest top recommendations for the best podcast-hosting providers, whether you're just starting or you're wanting to upgrade your podcasting tools! You need good podcast hosting to help you distribute your show, keep it online, and understand your reach. Now, podcast hosting can help you with much more, too! How podcast-hosting has changed As the podcasting industry is innovating and there are new ways to engage, grow, and monetize, podcast-hosting providers have to keep up! Years ago, all we needed from a podcast-hosting provider was storage, bandwidth, stats, and maybe their RSS feed (because you might want to generate it separately). And if your show was big enough, you might have a chance at getting a sponsor through your hosting provider. But today, podcast hosting includes innovative new features, like dynamic content insertion; automatic processing for audio, images, and video; content-creation assistance; marketing tools; engagement outlets; and even built-in ways to monetize your podcast directly from your audience. This is why I've taken some time to reconsider my recommendations. And as you'll quickly notice, there is no single best podcast-hosting provider because it really depends on your needs. Thus, I hope the following help you make the choice that's right for your podcast. (As an affiliate for many providers, I earn from qualifying purchases through most of these following links. But I recommend things I truly believe in, regardless of earnings.) Best all-inclusive podcast hosting (also for multiple shows): Captivate <div class="elemen
