Don't buy fake podcast bot downloads. I explain why. And also some otherstuff @mattcundill.com was kind enough to let me pontificate about on his podcast. Go listen. If you like.

A few people probably won't like this latest one: Steven Bartlett. Podcast Movement's Facebook group members. Any podcaster who can't be arsed to even slightly edit. And anyone who's created a 'podcast' just so they can schill all their affiliate links.

Probably won't be on here at all much longer then. Yeah, we all know they can log out and see your stuff if they want (which always made the feature pretty pointless) but the point is, it's the indication that people's 'safety' is being completely ignored, @elonmusk.

Podcasters using AI show notes tools; pro tip for ensuring you don't have the exact same wording in your episode descriptions as everyone else! (And my suggestion inside the 'read more' for a service you can use that does the job very well.) Ditch: Deep dive. Rollercoaster.…

'Top 50' podcasters - be honest. You paid some promoter to artificially inflate your show in an easy-to-game category? Thought so. You're almost as bad as the 'top 1%' podcasters! #podcasting

Saw "Dan Wootton" trending on Twitter. Looked him up because I vaguely knew the name but didn't know why. Saw that I'd blocked him at some point, and can't remember why, but trust past me's judgement on this, given just a few of the tweets I've seen.

So in my own personal view @webby2001 is one of the smartest men in the podcasting space and you’d do far worse than listening to every word he says. Start with this.

Hate to be that guy but I’m always gonna call out shittery in the space when I see it. @rss are a hosting company who will lock you out from your feed’s back end the moment you indicate you’re leaving them. To the best of my knowledge no other hosting co does this. Shameful.

“I believe (V4V) is PART of the future.” This is the best take I’ve heard on this rapid innovation in podcasting 2.0 so far. No surprise it’s the words of @MrAsquith (on @podnewsweekly) this week. Kudos, Mark. You continue to impress me with your positioning and transparency.
