The Jag Show: Podcast Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices30 Mar 2022

I'm a Radio DJ Again...Sort Of

I've decided to try being a music radio DJ again - except in the podcast world.

I read about Amazon's new "Amp" project that lets you create audio shows with music from Amazon's library. But when I tried it, I couldn't play music until I had live viewers/listeners. Not an easy ask for a program that's still in beta.

Then I remembered that Anchor allows you to create shows using Spotify's music library. This is content that's available on demand as a podcast. So I decided to create the Jag Throwback Show, telling stories from my 20 year radio career, and counting down my 5 favorite songs each year from 1998-2017. You can check the show out here:

Just before we "went to press" this morning, James Cridland broke some pretty significant news in PodNews. YouTube is working on a podcast strategy, that will include pulling data from podcast RSS feeds, even for audio-only shows. This is a game changer. If YouTube can pull from your feed, your podcast host will be able to give you ONE aggregate number of plays across all platforms. You won't have to add your downloads to your YouTube views anymore. Here's the PodNews piece:
