See you soon: The Daily will be on quarterly break next week, returning after the July 4 holiday.
“If someone wanted to write about you, could they get enough information on their own from your site?” asks Matt Deegan. The co-founder of the British Podcast Awards isn’t just amazed by how many shows lack a website altogether, but also by the key information podcasters leave out when they do.
If a show is submitted to an awards program, the staff should not have to dig for social media links, clear artwork, or credits. Caila Litman wrote this week that ‘discoverability’ tends to be an individual-podcast problem. Every detail Deegan mentions in his new article will help you help listeners find your show.
It’s no coincidence that the two podcasts in yesterday’s top story have terrific websites. (See here and here.) They’re light on style, but both go above and beyond in substance. They even have Amazon wish lists for materials that aid in research. Even if your website is thorough, Matt Deegan can help.
If you could tap into the minds of podcast listeners, what would you want to know? Good news: Podcast Movement is working with a marketing research team to conduct a national study involving thousands of them. To determine what the study will reveal, we need creators to tell us their burning questions.
With a brief survey, PM hopes to collect your questions for listeners as well as your ‘big picture’ views on paid subscriptions, industry growth, and the like. (It’s seriously brief. There are just two ‘short answer’ blanks, and the rest are click-the-bubble.) Stay tuned: Results will be presented at PM22 in August.
