Live from The Podcast Show and the ARIAS
Charlotte Tobitt, Jim Waterson, Thomas Curry and more...
Live from The Podcast Show, thanks to Audio Network, we’re tackling the biggest question facing the sector: should podcasters pivot to video, and if so, how do you avoid repeating the costly mistakes of Fleet Street? Press Gazette’s Charlotte Tobitt, London Centric founder Jim Waterson, and BBC Studios Audio’s Thomas Curry were all on the front lines when newspapers experimented their way through the Great Pivot in the 2010s - and they’ve got plenty of warnings about what happens when platforms call the shots.
From Buzzfeed burning through Facebook’s money on Prime Ministerial interviews nobody watched, to local newspapers being forced to Facebook Live everything regardless of context, the panel explores why news publishers chased reach over engagement and what podcasters can learn before making the same mistakes.
We’re also celebrating the winners of this year’s ARIAs at the Roundhouse, thanks to radio experts - a sound perspective - catching up with the Hits Radio team after winning station of the year, Trevor Nelson on his special recognition award, Mishal Husain winning radio moment of the year, BBC Sounds’ Jonny Kanagasooriam and How To Fail’s Elizabeth Day.
Back at the Podcast Show we speak to Audio Always’ Clare Chambers and Paul Fearnley on their innovative cross-promotion strategy using podcast continuity announcements and in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we play “The Weakest Podcast Link”. Can the panel can spot the real podcast show announcements from producer Matt’s fabrications, from Acast launching 3D podcasts to Global rolling out new YouTube advertising capabilities?
Talking about video podcasts is one thing, but making one every week is another. It’s easier to do when you’re in a great studio, but this week’s show was all out and about. So thanks to our sponsors Audio Network and radio experts, Matt Hill for recording and filming and Kristen at Podcast Discovery for bringing all the video together!
