YouTube Podcast News - Coming soon additional analytics, improved discovery and search for podcasts - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips

YouTube will fully support ingestion of RSS feeds for podcasts by the end of the year, it was announced at Podcast Movement by the Product Lead Podcasting at Google, Steve McLendon, speaking to Ausha’s Jennifer Han. He also made the first public acknowledgement of the ongoing beta testing that we reported on in May. (It ingests RSS audio feeds and turns them into YouTube-hosted video, like CNN One Thing which we understand is using it.)
- Within the YouTube Music app, podcasts are currently available in the US, Canada and Latin America, and are on track to complete a global rollout by the end of the year, including a podcast section on the website. The company is also planning additional analytics, and improved discovery and search for podcasts, especially for users who have engaged with podcast content.
- Podnews has also learnt that YouTube Music updates to expect relatively soon are show-level auto-downloads; and you’ll also soon be able to add any RSS feed to your YouTube Music app - even private RSS feeds - in countries where podcasts on YouTube Music are supported.
- McLendon stressed to creators that for best results you should mark your show (“playlist”) as a podcast in YouTube Studio, which unlocks additional places where your show will be promoted.

A Question From Mark About His Proposed Podcast Show Name and Some Thoughts For You When Naming Your Show - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips

Mark left a question for the show - his new podcast idea is a travel and local focused show the N B Traveler - thanks Mark for leaving your question - we will talk about Mark's podcast show name and talk through some considerations for you when determining the name for your show!

When choosing a title, think of a dynamic name that can expand to fit your wildest dreams. The possibilities of audio creation are always expanding, and you never know how your personal brand might grow. Relying on the word “podcast” from the get-go might leave you feeling boxed in down the road.

In short, here are some guidelines from fellow podcasters around picking a great podcast name:

Aim for 4 words or less.
Choose a name that aligns with your content.
Keep it succinct and intriguing.
Try to avoid the words “The” and “Podcast.”
Avoid special characters, misspellings, abbreviations, and punctuation.
Your name should be easy to spell and pronounce.
Make sure it’s not already taken.
Gather some outside opinions.
Think about how your show might evolve over time.
Choose a name you like saying out loud.

Picking a podcast name might feel difficult, but don’t let it prevent you from sharing your voice. Sometimes a show needs to exist in the world before it can be given a title. If you find yourself feeling stuck, the best thing to do is start creating. Record some mock episodes or soft-launch with a placeholder name. There’s always room for adjustment later on.

At the end of the day, listeners are tuning in for you and your content—not your podcast title. If you make great episodes that keep people engaged, your podcast name will fall into place. ___ ⁠⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/⁠⁠⁠ Leave Dave a message - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave⁠⁠⁠ Get a podcast review of your show! - ⁠⁠⁠https://podcastfeedback.ca/⁠⁠⁠

E117 - Dave versus A.I. - Putting the Humanity back into Podcast Editing Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

E117 - Dave versus A.I. - Putting the Humanity back into Podcast Editing

I had the opportunity to be a guest on a podcast for Dads - it was great, awesome host, a great episode - truly grateful for the opportunity to share my Dad Story! Be a guest, it is a great way to add value to another show, to support a fellow podcaster and potentially grow your own show at the same time!

When the episode released I noticed that the podcast was edited by a popular A.I. Editing tool that podcasters have fallen in love with - but I felt, when listening back to the interview that the humanity was removed in the edit - so I have a warning for you as a podcaster to use caution when using an A.I. Tool or an editor for your show - don't strip every last second of pauses, cadence and the natural "gallop" that happens when we talk.

Here is a comparison of the interview as it went out and my edits to put the humanity back into the same clip. You judge for yourself what works for you, how do you feel when you hear the two clips. For me the first clip made me feel anxious, like a shot clock in basketball, there felt like an imaginary countdown clock clicking away and that I was trying to get all my words in before a cutoff point...

If you need help with your editing I am accepting new podcasts for a limited time - if I can help you edit your show, and you want a human to do your edits, maybe I can help!

EPISODE 114 - Working With A Podcast Coach, Riverside, Building Community with Guest CO-HOST - Christa Joy Spaeth

Christa Joy Spaeth is the founder of Christa Joy Ministries. It was in 2022 when Minnesota-based author Christa received a compelling message from God. In a prayer cabin called “Whisper,” He prompted her to write a seven-week devotional.

Since then, Christa’s eyes, heart, and ears were opened to more whispers, so that she may start fulfilling her new purpose of helping the hurting and share the love of Christ.

Christa is a blessed wife, mother of two, and a successful businesswoman. She is a woman ignited with a burning passion to walk in the rhythm of God’s plan, each day. So much so that in 2022, she took a bold step, bidding goodbye to her long-standing career as a Registered Dietitian at a high-profile food manufacturing company. It wasn’t an easy step, but it was a step of faith, one that led her closer to the purpose God had for her: encouraging others through Christ.

Today, Christa owns and operates Christa Joy Ministries where she publishes her own books, hosts a podcast, and writes daily encouragements on her social media. In addition, she does guest blog posts for various social media accounts.

E113 - The Chevy Nova - Why Picking a Great Podcast Name Matters and Ten Things To Consider When Naming Your Show Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

E113 - The Chevy Nova - Why Picking a Great Podcast Name Matters and Ten Things To Consider When Naming Your Show

the story of the Chevy Nova “no go” is a myth, an urban legend. It never actually happened. Like many urban legends, the Chevy “no go” story was repeated so many times that people believed it to be true. Also, similar to other urban legends, the Chevy “no go” story has a small element of truth, for “no va” does mean “no go.”

Contrary to popular belief, though, the Chevy Nova sold well in Latin America. In Venezuela, the Nova actually exceeded sales projections from Chevrolet.

If you can speak Spanish, you likely understand why the Chevy Nova “no go” story is a myth. For one, in Spanish, nova and no va don’t sound the same, and most people would not confuse them. It would be like saying “carpet” and “car pet.” They sound different and have different meanings. Also, no va would be a highly unusual way to describe a car that can’t drive or function.

Key Considerations When Selecting a Name for Your Podcast:

Relevance: Choose a name that directly reflects the content and theme of your podcast. It should give listeners a clear idea of what your show is about.
Memorability: Aim for a name that is catchy, easy to remember, and stands out among other podcasts. Avoid overly complicated or lengthy names.
SEO-Friendly: Opt for a name that incorporates relevant keywords or phrases related to your podcast's topic. This can help improve your podcast's visibility in search results.
Uniqueness: Ensure your podcast name is distinct and not already used by another popular podcast to avoid confusion and trademark issues.
Audience Appeal: Consider your target audience and the tone of your podcast. Choose a name that resonates with your intended listeners and reflects the podcast's personality.
Versatility: Select a name that allows for potential growth and expansion of your podcast's topics or content without feeling limited.
Domain Availability: Check if the corresponding domain name is available for your podcast website, as it's essential for branding and online presence.
Social Media Handles: Ensure that the podcast name is available as a handle on major social media platforms to maintain consistency across channels.
Avoid Trends: While trendy names might seem appealing initially, they can quickly become outdated. Opt for a timeless name that will age well.
Test and Feedback: Before finalizing your podcast name, test it with friends, family, or potential listeners to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.

Summary Statement:

Selecting the right podcast name is a critical step in creating a successful show. A relevant, memorable, and SEO-friendly name that resonates with your target audience will set the tone for your podcast's identity and impact its overall visibility and growth. Take the time to choose wisely and consider feedback to ensure your podcast name represents your content and stands out in a competitive podcasting landscape.
