Guest co-host Jennifer Navarrete joins Elsie and they discuss NaPodPoMo, Zealous, Flowjin, Web3 and more!
 
Guest co-host Jennifer Navarrete (@epodcaster) joined us today! With over 17 years of podcasting under her belt she truly is an OG!  Elsie and Jennifer discuss the early days of podcasting.
 
Jennifer founded National Podcast Post Month (NaPodPoMo) in 2007. Taking place annually in November, podcasters are challenged to record 30 episodes in 30 days, from Nov 1-30. NaPodPoMo is for both the brand new podcaster and the seasoned podcaster. It is a place to #FailFastGetGood in a safe community space. As a global challenge the opportunity to learn, share, and grow is amplified.
 
E&J discuss Zealous, which Jennifer describes as the bridge from your spaces to your RSS feed.
 
Did you know that with Flowjin Twitter Space Downloader you can archive all of your past and future available Spaces forever. No 30 days limit. Automatically store all of your future Spaces after first setup.
 
What’s going on with Twitter this week? There seems to have been an implosion/mass exodus. Are you on the Mastodon train?
 
Finally, the conversation moves to Web3! In Jennifer’s opinion the future of podcasting (and content creation) is on the blockchain.
 
Twitter Spaces for Elsie
November 16 at 4pm ET, Elsie will be doing a follow up Twitter Space to get everyone back together for the Multilingual Podcasters Meet-up.

Jess’s recap of the Afros and Audio Podcast Festival, E&J are grunchy, a healthy discussion about the new Women in the Workplace study and more!

Jess had an amazing time at Afros and Audio Podcast Festival over the weekend, but she couldn’t post about it because she was in FB jail. 😡 She suggests you go to their Twitter and follow who they’re following. There are many wonderful podcasters and experts out there that you may not know about.

Grunchy=grumpy and grouchy. 😠 🤣

Jess is grunchy about her new tech purchases. E&J are both grunchy about their kids.

Women in the Workplace 2022: The State of Women in Corporate America This study collected information from 333 participating organizations employing more than 12 million people, surveyed more than 40,000 employees, and conducted interviews with women of diverse identities, including women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities. The 2022 report focuses on how the pandemic has changed what women want from their companies, including the growing importance of opportunity, flexibility, employee well-being, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The slow demise of Gimlet, nominate yourself for the Discover Pods Awards, Elsie LOVES Snipd and more!

J&E talk about what they’re watching on TV these days. 📺

Discover Pods Awards nominations are open through November 5 at 5pm PT. Feel free to nominate your own podcast and campaign on your behalf with your audience. Feel free to show us some love too! 🥰

Gimlet and Parcast cuts show cracks in Spotify’s exclusive model by The Verge.

She Podcasts first talked about Gimlet in Episode 26 in 2014! 😱

Elsie’s Tool Tips

Elsie is REALLY excited about this one! Snipd is by far and away the best app for taking notes on the podcasts that you listen to! It's also improving all the time. You can actively take notes on an episode and they transcribe the shows plus you can highlight the transcript. Then you can export to audiograms or a tweet or add them to your own PKM system! The key component is the interaction with other workflows. Bonus: when you export the highlights you also get all of the metadata associated with the episode 🤯

Where has Jess been? While on vacation, Jess started shopping for Podcast Movement and bought a few cool things:

Cool pink tweezers

A mini-fan that looks like a perfume bottle

She Podcasts will be at Podcast Movement in Dallas, from August 23 - 26. Use the code Shepods for $75 off a ticket. Stop by our booth for a photo op or just to say hi!

Jess will be on the following panels on Thursday, August 25: Podcast Makeover: 30 Second Challenge @Lone Star C1/2, 1:15pm An Indie Podcaster’s Survival Guide @Lone Star A1/2, 3:30pm

Kim Kardashian has teamed up with Apple on a custom version of the Beats Fit Pro. The new Beats x Kim collab is available in a trio of skin colors (Moon, Dune and Earth) that are meant to either "blend in or stand out," as Kardashian puts it. In other words, they look less like electronics and more like cosmetics.

Oprah’s Harpo Inc. sues over Oprahdemics Podcast Harpo Inc., which owns her trademarks, carefully vets any licensing opportunity. Now it’s taking a podcasting duo to court over what it says is an unauthorized attempt to capitalize on “The Oprah Effect.”

E&J miss their sleep! The Jess recap of Podcast Movement Evolutions, Meghan Markle is ready to podcast! BIG thank you to all the folks that featured the #ClaimPodParity lists! And it keeps on going! Thanks to Marco from Overcast for featuring an ongoing She Podcasts list in the app ⭐️ Oh the trouble with properly reporting anything & virtual podcasting events bringing in six figures? Meghan Markle will host a podcast Archetypes, on Spotify, which unpacks the origins of the labels and stereotypes that hold women back. What is happening with news reporting? E+J think you can never get the full story or an unbiased version of what happened. Local news is incredibly understaffed and don’t have time to fact-check, or do their due diligence.

Virtual Podcasting events are bringing in six figures.

Thanks to Castro, Podchaser and Overcast for featuring these two collections - Women Podcasting Pros and Women Podcasting Leaders - in support of #claimpodparity. And extra special thanks to Marco Arment from Overcast for highlighting the ongoing She Podcasts List.

Speaking of Marco, he has committed to continuing to feature podcasts led by people of marginalized genders. And we are thrilled. All women and non-binary folks please fill out this SUPER EASY FORM! DO IT NOW.

Jess acknowledged the war in Ukraine and that she has family there. Jess and Elsie then reminisced about the tough times they experienced over the years and how sometimes they couldn’t record because of what was going on in the world or in their lives.

[14:49] March is Women’s History Month and March 8 is International Women’s Day!

[15:15] Women Supported Resources

The Women’s Podcast Festival (UK) - June 18

Twila Dang - Women in Podcasting - Twitter Spaces (monthly)

Podcast Movement Evolutions March 23 - 26, One of the keynote speakers is Will Farrell and iHeart Radio’s party will be DJ’d by Paris Hilton. Podcast Hall of Fame Awards will be presented.

[28:25] Tool Tips

  • Jess has a new set-up - a Sony ZVE-10 camera (very had to find due to chip shortage) on a tripod and a new monitor. Thanks Elsie for the research!

  • Elsie has hit a wall watching Zoom videos and wants to create more engaging content. She’s been using Ecamm Live - the possibilities are endless! Makes repurposing content easier. Watch the webinar with Bethany Hawkins to see Ecamm Live in action!.

  • What’s going on with Streamyard - since October, they have been offering free gifs and overlays - confetti, timers, backgrounds. And they have a FABULOUS FB group!

  • As an alternative to Streamyard, Ecamm users prefer Restream. Restream was founded by Ukrainians and one third of their workforce is still in Ukraine. They’ve compiled a list of local and global organizations working on the ground to assist the victims.

A rant from Jess, the latest research about the Super Listeners Report 2021 and insight from Elsie on Shure headphones!

Here's the scoop! Episode Length: 53:34

Jess was on a rant because someone called Isaac fat 😒. The discussion evolved into making healthy decisions; whether it’s changing your diet or becoming more active. One of our listeners suggested the podcast Maintenance Phase - “Debunking the junk science behind health fads, wellness scams and nonsensical nutrition advice”.

Super Listeners of 2021

A study from Edison Research and Ad Results Media shows that Super Listeners - those who listen to 5 or more hours of podcasts weekly are:

  • A crazy amount are white!
  • They are incredibly committed to listening, most of them listen to 12+ hours a week!
  • Most pay for other subscriptions (duh)
  • Most feel that podcast advertising is the key way to reach them
  • How Super Listeners FIND new podcasts? By searching on YouTube
  • 49% believe that the hosts ACTUALLY USE the products that they are advertising
  • 51% pay more attention to ads on podcasts!
  • 53% look at companies in a more positive way when they advertise on podcasts
  • Personalized discussions FTW!

Jess and Elsie start off by responding to all kinds of feedback! Then on to, podcaster 💸  opportunities, some in the UK, some in Australia and some right here at home. And of course, a couple of quickie tool tips from Elsie!

JRE is NOT a Journalist

We were called out for calling JRE a journalist. He is not a journalist - Jess meant he’s part of the media. He’s a comedian who has a podcast. Period.

Podcaster Opportunities

[20:11] Danielle Desir will be sharing grants and paid opportunities on Substack to help podcasters take the next step in their business.

Click here for the link.

[16:30] gal-dem is teaming up with Acast to help promote the new Acast Amplifier program, offering financial grants of £2,500 and expertise in the industry to budding podcasters in the UK. If you have an idea for a podcast but need help getting it off the ground, Acast Amplifier is for you.

[19:30] Got a unique Australian story to tell? The Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship is back for a third year in a row, giving mid-career storytellers the opportunity to further their careers in audio. The fellowship is teaming up with Audiocraft once again to offer $15,000 in prize money for the winning applicant. The winner will also be offered a year-long professional development program, mentorship and networking opportunities, professional introductions and other various aspects of support relevant to their targeted niche.

Click here for the link.

Very Important Audio Feedback

[10:44] Patrick Keller would like Jess and Elsie to take on the #CelineDionChallenge on Tik Tok. Elsie said maybe, Jess said absolutely not. LOL.

Elsie’s Tool Tip

[37:40] Safari and Chrome have Tab Groups. Reduce the number of tabs you have open. With a simple right click, you can group your tabs together and label them with a custom name and color.

Chit chat time! Elsie’s birthday redux

5:10 Elsie shares how she treated herself for her birthday! She breaks down what it takes to get used to looking at her actual face when using a fancy camera, up-leveling her entire tech set-up, including lights, and software!

If you want to see what she’s talking about here is the She Podcasts live stream!

Stacey Simms feedback on Podcast 2.0 and Spotify

11:14 It seems that Stacey, a long time podcaster has no idea what Podcast 2.0 is and she agrees with Elsie’s thoughts on Spotify.

That brings us to rehash the whole situation that went down in the last episode.

We had Stevie, who was in the chat bring up the problematic history of Spotify and musicians.

Elsie asks

When do you get big enough to be responsible for what you’re saying?

The independent creator manifesto

When does getting cash from a larger corporation create problems for independent creators?

Creators will start to gain more and more power. This is just the beginning.

26:19 We love our sponsor Link Tree!

Shout-outs!

⭐️ FOLLOW BERRY AT PODCASTS IN COLOR!

⭐️ CONGRATS TO THE BLACK PODCASTERS ASSOCIATION AND AFROS AND AUDIO! (become a member or invest in them!)

Our tool tip - Rephonic. Not what we thought it was

It seems to happen a lot, Elsie or Jess ads something thinking it’s one thing but then it ends up being something else.

They, live and on the air, find out things that confused them.

Elsie attended the best virtual event EVAH!

Elsie was enamored with Luria Petrucci’s virtual event called Expand Your Reach Summit!

There are not very many events that make Elsie jelly and this one event made her want to strive to be more and create the best membership experience for She Podcasts!

So.

Much.

Love.

John shares how he disappears while She Podcasts is being recorded

Elsie didn’t wanna, but the She Podcasts community asked (more than once!) Here’s a different side of the Spotify, Joe Rogan thing focusing on how it impacts YOU, your listeners, sprinkled with a side of free speech. Shownotes in this case are Elsie’s notes and links (Episode recorded 1pm ET 1/31) And no, you have not heard this side of the convo, as it’s about you.

Elsie’s JRE/Neil Young redux (if we must)

⭐️ I’m not a fan of JRE, and never have been. I personally would love to not speak his name on this podcast at all. There are plenty of others that can do that. I also DON’T LISTEN TO HIS PODCAST. I listened one time and I found that I very much enjoyed it. —— also at the time of this recording JRE did respond and I think he did very well.

⭐️ I’m not a Spotify subscriber —- I only listen to Call Her Daddy

Let’s talk about it from the independent podcaster + the listener perspective with a heavy bias to Android users, outside of the U.S. and new podcast listeners.

  • There are many folks that have their largest audiences from Spotify.
  • There are also many people that do not listen to podcasts outside of Spotify - especially those that are outside of the U.S.
  • As we know (and it’s been covered SOOOOOOO MUCH) Spotify has gained a lot of ground in podcast listenership. It’s not about cutting into Apple Podcasts piece of the pie - Spotify has made the pie BIGGER.
  • The pressure that these podcasters feel is real —- what should the “everyday podcaster” do? Particularly for shows that are serving often excluded communities?
  • For many podcasters, they’ve been able to get into podcasting by starting with Anchor (however I might feel about it) and it’s given opportunities to people get into podcasting without having to right out of the gate pay for hosting —- Anchor is owned by Spotify. Should they move hosting platforms?
Not everyone can afford to quit Spotify

I have questions…

  1. How many of their 172 million subscribers will delete their accounts?
  2. How many of their 381 million monthly listeners will stop listening?
  3. What is a breaking point for Spotify?
20k podcast episodes have already been removed from Spotify during the pandemic that mention COVID–19
  • They were and continue to be very aggressive when it came to any COVID content on the platform (please reach out to the more prominent podcast platform SUPPORT TEAMS so that they can give you the scoop.)
  • I believe we had a past episode

When you become a media company, you are held responsible for the content on your platform

  • You are distributing
  • You are creating
  • You are promoting

There was a quote from the Washington Journal on the topic

“It’s a tech company looking to maximize profits”

Why does this matter to YOU?

PODCASTING IS A RESPONSIBILITY. What you say in your show - you are responsible for.

What I’m most concerned about is about podcasting.

Whatever happens with JRE and Spotify, it will set a precedent in podcasting - and it could fundamentally change the medium in ways that we were not prepared for - and possibly not for the better.

I’m especially concerned about WHO and HOW will content monitoring happen? HOW WILL THEY KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THE CONTENT?

We had shownotes but went on a one topic full episode tangent; it’s all about knowing yourself, and it’s exactly WHY She Podcasts is different that all of the other podcasts about podcasting. Do you still have epiphanies about who you are? Do you oppose or resist those that tell you about yourself? I’ts all about introspection, being human and discovery of the self, the end

Chit chat time! And this time, it’s all about chit chat

  • Are you done having epiphanies about yourself or do you know everything that you need to know?
  • Now we know that we’ve always been who we are, and yet we continue to see and know who we are.
  • We believe there is only so much people can tell you who you are until you are ready to accept it - and realize it for yourself.
  • OMG Elsie is open to letting go of making shownotes!
  • OMG Jess is looking to let go of the design!

Discussion

18:26 Jess shares all kinds of insight into money blocks and both Elsie and Jess’s brain 🤯

Do you resonate with any of the money blocks that are discussed on the show?

Elsie asks

Can we have realizations faster, please?

And how privilege plays into the getting to know yourself stuff.

Can personality tests help you get you to know yourself?

And then we go down the Strength Finders rabbit hole.

Let us know what you think!
