The Podfather really needs to learn how to use a noise gate. #podcasting2.0

I didn't get any impression that she's put any strategic thought behind this offering other than 'let's just flood the platforms with our content so people see it'.

Neal Veglio @podknowsneal.podknows.co.uk · 29/09/2025

She seems to revel in the disruption she's causing almost like she's making up for missing out on the mid to late 90s shock jock trend.

Soooo many thoughts on Jeanine from Inception Point's conversation with @james.crid.land on @podnews.net's weekly review last week, I don't even know where to start. Great interview. Awful interviewee.

LOL at British Podcast Awards emailing me, urging me to "avoid FOMO" by booking tickets to their branding schill fe... event.

I'd actually argue that doing a show like yours episodically without adding seasons is the more sensible choice.

Neal Veglio @podknowsneal.podknows.co.uk · 04/08/2025

Absolutely valid. Holiday seasons are quiet. But this doesn't mean we should go quiet. Our next ideal listener might be the one who finds us by scouring for content when everyone else has 'downed tools'.

Don't assume you know when your audience is online!

The brilliant sound design and nod to John Williams' classic score in the Superman trailer gives me hope that this might be a sign of some slight slither of chance the movie may not be a total shit-show cringe-fest. Oh, and the Nicholas Hoult as Lex thing. That's also a point in the plus column.

Haha I know this but then ordering one on Amazon requires me staying focused long enough to dodge all the memes, go on to Amazon, not get distracted by all the toys, and click buy.

I had to go back to my giant 'fuckoff' ones when I upgraded to the Rodecaster Pro 2. (It doesn't have the little 3.5" input for my other ones that the RP1 had)

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.

Neal Veglio @podknowsneal.podknows.co.uk · 09/06/2025

Never thought I'd get a 'showbiz shoutout' feeling after being 'called out' by someone because they've disagreed with me on something. Yet I definitely got one when I realised @davejackson.bsky.social was talking about my episode on Marc Maron, during his Ask The Podcast Coach this week.

Trying to reverse-engineer a celebrity podcast when you’re unknown is like trying to launch a rocket with a party popper.

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.

Yep, a year 1 thing that I didn't realise still needed to be taught. But apparently so! Along with, "wherever you get your podcasts" needing to get in the bin.

"(We) provides Forbes-recommended podcast editing and support services..." LOL - so they paid for one of those 'as seen on Forbes' PR marks but realised using it would look super icky, so they decided to just use it as a fake endorsement instead? Christ. How do these people sleep?

Will any of these 7 hour testimonies result in Meta ditching their shitty AI automated support systems that send you in a complete loop from hell, just to get access to your own account? Nah, didn't think so.

I'm calling it now - if you're a content only podcast manager, it's time to upskill yourself. You're a maximum of 2 years away from being redundant if you can't also grow audience.

Le sigh. These people exist, and they're willing to do anything necessary to extract cash they're not willing to earn. And we wonder why branded podcasting still has resistance in this country... Shame on them.

Having listened fully, twice, I can confirm they are indeed demonstrating what it could sound like "as a cheaper option" for any poor, unsuspecting victi... sorry, clients, who might be gullible enough to pay them.

Have you seen this, @podnews.net @james.crid.land? I might have misread this and misheard, but it seems to me like they're soliciting for paying clients and using Notebook LM to create 'production' for them. In my view this is frankly outrageous. www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/news/wavefx-...

Just heard the following blanket statement on a podcasting advice show - "Anybody that offers guarantees, I'd say it's impossible that those are legitimate real listeners..." Well, @jeremyenns.bsky.social - not only is it possible, we've been offering them for two years now.

Hey man, rarely on here so only just seen this. Thanks for the message but I'm not sure what you mean? Just checked it out and it all seems fine to me? What were you listening on?

100% valid hence why I've mentioned that in the episode and the article. Still waiting on some data from your big boss to add some extra weight to the data sets, but it's infinitely better than what we get from Listen Notes...

Without wishing to sound 'Ickey' I can't help thinking "No foul play" actually means, "Our Chief, also a mason, actually authorised the hit. So no foul play."
