    Use Chartable to find your Apple Podcast Chart’s Rank

    Use Chartable to find your Apple Podcast Chart’s Rank When it comes to finding your show on Apple Podcasts, use Chartable to find your Apple Podcast Charts ranking. Without a doubt, Chartable is a superior resource than the Apple Podcast App. First of all, the Apple Podcast Charts aren’t easy to find within the app. You may have to do some digging. Second of all, the Apple Podcast Charts by category or sub-category are even harder to find, and the sub-category charts don’t display the ranking numbers. So if visibility and details are what you want, again — use Chartable. How to use Chartable to find your ranking Chartable is…

    Podcasting For Film – An Ecosystem of Possibilities

    Podcasting for Film or Podcasting with Films? It’s true – the line between TV, film, apps, and media is blurring.

The value proposition was a convergence of Netflix and Clubhouse (without the IPs of the former or the scarcity and community of the latter). Quibi tried to blend short attention spans with a long back catalog positioned behind a paywall without actively involving the user. While no media (or mediums) lives in a vacuum, all media (and mediums) co-exists and can, if integrated properly, cohabitate. Podcasting is no exception. Podcasting can certainly benefit from the presence or companionship of…

Written three decades apart (one from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s), these short plays were posthumously put together as a meditation on capitalism, gender, and murder. In each story, there is an acquisition, a possession, a taking. And in each story there is a reversal of the possessor’s fate, culminating in a Greek-like tragedy where a fury takes vengeance.

    Why Podcast Content Matters

    Podcast Content is More Important than Podcast Sales People don’t buy products from podcasters. People accept advice from podcasters they know, like, and trust. As a result, the single most important thing that you can do for your podcast is to position yourself as the podcast host (or podcast GUIDE…but more on this later). The second most important thing you can do for your podcast is to create a podcast content strategy that is bigger than yourself. Ask yourself: what actually grabs my attention? What keeps me engaged? And: what is a mission that I can tackle each and every week for years to come? If you start to understand…

    On Being a New Podcaster

    How Being a New Podcaster Primes you for a Book It’s worth mentioning that as a new podcaster, when you deliver a podcast on a weekly basis it will begin to do many things. (a) It will help you build an audience. (b) It will help you nurture an audience. And (c) It will help create value and trust. Finally, then there’s (d): once “a” through “c” are in place, it will position you to sell to that audience, especially if the item being sold is a book or a course. So what does this mean for you? If writing a book is your ambition, then a podcast is a…
