Matty Staudt: Podcasting, Podle.co and the Podcast Academy

Matty Staudt is the owner of Jam Street Media, a board member of
the Podcast Academy, about to launch Podle.co and .... looking
for his next opportunity. All at once.


In this episode, we are going to talk about podcasting growth and
opportunities with industry experts, the pros and cons of remote
work in the podcast industry, and his experience of starting a
network, despite initial reservations, and the importance of
cross-promotion within the network.


As two radio veterans, we expressed our frustration with working
alone in the podcast industry, desiring more human interaction
and creative collaboration, the challenges of building a podcast
network in today's industry, including the need for dedicated
sales and content that resonates with listeners.


And naturally, Matty expressed concern about the lack of
monetization in podcasting, particularly in comparison to video
content, and the potential for low-quality ads to harm the
industry. He pulls no punches and that it why we love having him
on the show.


A transcript of this episode is available here.


We also discussed his upcoming business venture called Podle.co
which pairs creators and producers. Matt Cundill Voiceovers might
just get involved with this. As well the value of the Podcast
Academy and our uncertainty around celebrity podcasts, with many
failing to gain traction or provide valuable content.
