Podcast neighbourhoods, paying to be a guest, and podcast:verify. Evo Terra sits in for Sam Sethi.

Evo Terra joins James Cridland this week, while Sam drinks
wine in Europe somewhere. Evo's podcast is at podcast
pontifications and he runs simpler.media

Special Guest: Dan Misener co-founder of
Bumper. 


Podcast guests are paying up to $50,000 to appear on popular
shows, and the podcasts don’t disclose it, according to a piece
from Ashley Carman in Bloomberg. It quotes a number of podcasts
who charge more than $30,000 per interview… and they only added a
full disclosure (an FTC requirement) after being contacted by
Bloomberg for the story.

Dan Misener and Jonas Woost launched Bumper, a new podcast
growth agency. Bumper will work with organisations on audience
development strategies, marketing and promotion.

Tanner Campbell managed to get into the top 100 in the US Books
category last Friday with just 10 listens and 24 followers.


In November last year, Steffan Garrero got into the top 50
using social media; but it had no effect on his overall
downloads.


Podtrac is to add a Sales Network Ranker report in Q3 this
year, according to emails from ART19 to some of its
customers.

in an article entitled Avoiding The Perils Of Un-aligned Podcast

The team at the Podcast Index have worked on a proposal for
the podcast:verify tag, which would remove email addresses from
RSS feeds, and instead use a simple one-click claiming process.

It uses a simple token system, letting podcast
hosting companies understand which services people are using,
and avoiding the near-25% dropoff from email verification. It’s
built to be simple to implement, and great for privacy.

If you work for a podcast hosting company or a service like a
directory or tool, they would appreciate your feedback on the
proposal.

A reminder that if you use Apple’s AppleCoreMedia SDK to
playback audio in your app,
