Telling a story – that’s all you need to know about podcasting. Sounds simple, but is it? In the latest special episode of Recorded Content, the co-founders of Motion and hosts of Recorded Content explain how important it is to create a solid structure around the main topic in every podcast episode. During the episode, Tristan and Justin walk through their slightly different podcasting approaches. But despite the nuanced approaches, Justin and Tristan agree that B2B podcasts usually aren’t interesting because of a lack of conflict. Tristan introduces the ABT framework, a handy tool every aspiring podcaster can utilize to create a solid structure around a core conflict. And on the flip side, Justin talks through his approach to introducing conflict during the very early stages of an episode.

At this point, most companies understand what a branded podcast is. And marketers are starting to learn how to use a podcast as a foundation for a lot of great content for both prospects & customers. But your normal, publicly-accessible podcast is typically used as a way to grow your audience. How can your business gain a competitive advantage with an internal podcast? In this episode, Tristan Pelligrino speaks with Craig Hewitt, the Founder of Castos. Castos is a podcasting platform that helps podcasters grow their audience and offer exclusive content through public or private podcasts.

One of the ways listeners find your podcast is through the search function within Google, Spotify or Apple. And if your show ranks higher in the results, it leads to more listeners. But how do the search engines work within the most popular podcast platforms? In this episode, Justin Brown chats with Alexis Hue, the Managing Director and Co-Founder at Voxalyze. Voxalyze is a company that offers search engine optimization (SEO) services, data, and insights for audio content, including podcasts. The technology powered by Voxalyze helps podcast episodes rank higher in search results and helps to draw more listeners. “The good thing for podcasts is that it’s extremely easy to rank high on certain keywords,” adds Alexis. He believes that entertainment-based podcasts are more likely to be discovered on the web than those associated with B2B because “no one is going to type your name unless you’re a celebrity.”

Using paid ads is one way of monetizing your podcasts. But did you know that you can monetize your podcast with the help of your audience? And you can also create premium experiences for your audience using a private podcast? In this episode of Recorded Content, Jason Sew Hoy, Co-Founder and CEO at Supercast, joins host Tristan Pelligrino. Jason breaks down how podcasters can create subscriptions, develop premium experiences for customers and even earn sustainable revenue through a private podcast. According to Jason, the subscription model fosters stable revenue growth, and it can be a great way of monetizing because people want two things – to get rid of ads and gain access to bonus episodes with high-profile guests. “The intimate connections you create through podcasting, combined with the subscription model, and allowing a certain portion of your audience to pay to level up their experience and get even greater content was something that the podcast world was ready to adopt,” explains Jason.
