The Jag Show: Podcast Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices3 Huhti 2024

Google Podcasts Gone, Transcripts in Apple, and Infinte Dial Listening Data

OK, fine, I podfaded. Other client projects took priority, and it's been awhile. But today was the perfect day to bring back The JAG Show.

Google Podcasts, as of April 3rd, is no longer available to listen to shows on. Users are going to have to go elsewhere. If you want to take your subscriptions with you, you can TRY. Here's Google's how-to. https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/thread/249139848/migrate-your-podcast-shows-from-google-podcasts-us-only-%F0%9F%87%BA%F0%9F%87%B8?hl=en

Meanwhile, Apple Podcasts has unveiled auto-transcriptions, beginning with iOS version 17.4. I found the transcriptions to be pretty good, except that there are no timestamps or speaker labels. I found it very difficult to upload my own transcript, and my podcast host (Simplecast) advised me to just use Apple's automatic transcript for now. Apple did not give podcast hosts an early heads up about this, and they are playing catchup.

Speaking of Podcast Hosts, Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor) is the decisive leader for episodes published in March, 2024. I'll tell you why I'm very lerry of using Spotify as a host, though.

Finally, Edison Research's Infinite Dial survey is out. This is THE benchmark survey for podcast listening every year. I'll go through some key takewaways on podcasting being at an all time high, its growth among women, and its potential to steal ad dollars from television.
