Navigating Formatting Challenges in Apple Podcast Descriptions


Hello everyone, Dave Jackson here, your trusty guide through the podcasting landscape, welcoming you back to another episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach." Today, we're tackling a topic that's become a bit of a thorn in the side of podcasters everywhere: Apple Podcasts Formatting Issues. I've been there, wrestling with descriptions and ensuring everything looks as sharp as an HD display, no matter the platform. Whether you're tuning in from Spotify or Apple, we've got you covered with tricks of the trade.

I'm pleased to have the ever-knowledgeable Mathew Passy joining me today. Together, we will explore the best practices for formatting, divulging our experiences with dodging those pesky issues that can make or break the listener's experience. Expect to glean insights on doubling your paragraph spaces and placing key information where it matters most.

But that's just the starting point. We've got a full slate on our hands—discussing the widgets and gadgets of the audio world. We're talking remote recording platforms, mics, media hosts, and even my own trials with the Sony ZV 1 as a webcam. It's a treasure trove of tech talk that you won't want to miss.

Podcast Saturation: Is Your Playlist Bursting at the Seams?


Today I asked my audience how full is their playlist? Are they looking for more shows? Happy with the Current Line up? Or are you already behind on the shows you follow? Is it harder to grow a podcast today than, say 5 years ago?

I also talk about an Evernote alternative (as their price is going WAY UP) and how when things evolve, some will like it and some won't, do what is right for your show, and your sanity.

Engaging Listeners with Giveaways(?)


On today's episode, "Are Contests a Good Audience Builder?," we tackle a burning question: Are contests really the hidden gem for growing your podcast listenership, or are they just a magnet for spam and fake entries?

I'll look at some of the crucial podcasting tools out there, like the demise of Evernote, and the rise of Notejoy, and StreamYard, and we'll dissect what these platforms offer in terms of features and price points. Dave's going to fill you in on the intricate dance of dealing with explicit content in podcasts, especially for those of you hoping to go global—we've got a list of countries with specific content restrictions you'll want to hear about.
