It seems like podcasters deal with a lot of anxiety when it comes to media and website hosting. It’s understandable, as those two things are highly important when it comes to podcasting. I tried to answer the question, “Will your hosting company be here forever?” If you’re dealing with your own angst over this issue, I hope my findings will help to put your mind at ease.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about crowdfunding platforms for podcasting. It seems like new platforms are coming online all the time.

Which service came in first? Listen to the podcast to find out! Links: Castbacker article Joyride article Me on Twitter Podcaster News on Twitter The post Crowdfundin...

In episode ten of the Podcaster News Show, I continue my Women in Podcasting series by pointing you towards directories and other online resources that will help you to find podcasts that are hosted by women. Before you can listen to someone’s podcast, you have to be able to find it. Add some women’s voices and viewpoints to the mix of podcasts that you are currently listening to. There are so many to choose from! Links mentioned in this episode: * She Podcasts Directory * IPDb list of podcasts ...

In episode nine of the Podcaster News Show, I decided to turn things around a little bit. Usually, I interview a woman who is a podcaster. This time, I have enlisted the help of Shawn Thorpe (a fellow Podcaster News contributor) to help me interview … well… myself. It dawned on me that I’ve been asking women who podcast a series of questions that I hadn’t specifically answered myself. So, for this episode, Shawn takes my place and asks me the questions about podcasting that I usually ask other w...

In response to the article I posted yesterday about the recent dust up between PodcastOne and Stitcher, I was contacted today by a PodcastOne rep who said that the company’s Chairman/CEO, Norm Pattiz, was willing to do an interview to try and shed some light on the situation. I’m presenting that interview today (with Norm’s permission) as my November contribution to the Podcaster News Show. Some highlights from our discussion: PodcastOne was, at one point, considering acquiring Stitcher. Stitche...

Social media maven Chris Brogan recently made some podcasting news when he published a blog post called “Dear Podcaster.” In that post, Chris gave some advice to podcasters based on his own experiences in being interviewed on many podcasts.

Welcome to episode 4 of the Podcaster News Show . In this edition, I decided to step away from the relative comfort of my dedicated production studio and go basic, recording only with my iPad and a free app called Recorder. I did this as an exercise to show that it isn’t really necessary to invest in a mountain of gear just to get your voice committed to disk. I also give a simple explanation of a podcast publishing setup that, while hardly optimal, could technically allow you to publish a podca...

Welcome to the debut episode of the Podcaster News Show, a podcast produced by the editors of Podcaster News. In this episode, Shawn and Jen Thorpe ask the question, are you obsessed with getting into iTunes New & Noteworthy? It seems like in recent months, more and more podcasters are talking about getting into New & Noteworthy. One podcaster even considered relaunching his show because, even tho his show did make it into New & Noteworthy, he felt his time there wasn’t optimal. Link...

Hi! I’m Jen Thorpe, and I am happy to be a part of Podcaster News. I started podcasting in 2005 and never stopped. Over the years I’ve been involved in podcasts on a variety of topics including music, video games, and “personal/journal” types of shows. My motivation to do a show is because it is fun. If I get to the the point where podcasting stops being fun, I will probably stop doing it. My main focus here at Podcaster News is to bring you news and information about women who are involved in p...

My podcast about podcasting ( the School of Podcasting’s Morning Announcements ) was the first “how to podcast” podcast. I’ve been podcasting since 2005. I’ve been called the “Consumer Reports of Podcasting.” I help ...
