Hey Jordan .
Hey Kevin , how are you ?
I'm really good . You know why I'm really good .
Why .
We are back . We're back baby In Apple Podcasts .
Yeah .
We are back .
I just realized . For a lot of people , this is probably going to be the first Snapcast that they see in their feed .
Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , you're right , because we didn't start until what February , march , April , maybe even .
I think yeah , I think it was March or April . I don't think we've been doing this that long .
Yeah .
So a lot of people probably haven't even seen a Snapcast before .
So Well , I was just going to say one of the theories . We didn't talk about it on last week's episode , but one of the theories that Albin floated at one point was do you think snapcasts are hurting us ? Yeah , like , are people unsubscribing to our show because our numbers were going down .
We didn't know why , right , yeah , and so he was like are people unsubscribing because the snapcasts are driving them crazy ? And I was like , well , it's again .
I have to entertain all possibilities , but that seemed crazy I mean he had me convinced at one point because I was like I mean it does kind of like line up , but it lined up with other things too . So I was just like I don't understand , I don't know .
You know what I thought would be fun to do for this Snapcast . Buzz Sprout's analytics are on OP3 , which is open , and we can yeah , that's what OP3 stands for Open podcast prefix so we could share the link in the show notes for this episode , and so we can .
Everyone can see that buzzcast is officially back because they have this cool chart which they call episode pacing , and if you look at it , the episode that says how we fixed a major drop in downloads , that was our last episode . It is outpacing , like every other episode we've done , I don't know , recently by a lot by a lot .
Yeah , I saw that .
And so yeah , this is great news , Our content is not terrible .
It wasn't us .
The people who listen to the show are not leaving in droves . There was a problem . Apple helped us fix it and things are back looking good .
Yeah .
One other thing I thought I would share with you . I know that you know we don't talk about stuff that's not out yet , but this is out . It's just not out for everybody yet , but for those podcasters on Buzzsprout that use Spotify and have their podcast listed in Spotify and you create chapters for your podcast , those chapters are starting to appear .
In Spotify .
In Spotify now .
Oh boy .
Yeah .
That was fast .
Yeah , so I think we need to go into this in a little bit more depth . Yeah , next week give the whole story . But if you use chapters in your podcast and it's listed on Spotify , go ahead and check it out and see if they're starting to populate . But we made some changes on the Buzzsprout side , so that will be rolling out All right .
Hope sounds good , I'm looking forward to recording with you on Tuesday , yep , so we'll see you all next week . Keep podcasting .
