  Podcast News & Myths - Podcasting 2.0 Features are Niche and Not Useful

  Jul 17, 20255 minS0

  Todd Cochrane debunks the myth that Podcasting 2.0 tools are “niche.” He explains how chapter markers, searchable transcripts, live‑item tags, and alternate enclosures make shows more accessible, discoverable, and interactive—no coding required. By simply toggling options in Blubrry’s PowerPress or Publisher, creators can let listeners skip to key segments, search text, join live recordings, and choose audio or video formats, dramatically enhancing engagement and reach.

  Podcast Myth - Debunking Podcast Listener Support

  Jul 4, 20255 minS0

  In this 5-minute episode, Todd Cochrane dismantles the myth that direct listener support isn’t viable in podcasting. He explains how modern RSS funding tags allow you to embed Patreon, PayPal, or Buy Me a Coffee links directly into your feed, so apps like Pocket Casts display a “Support” button automatically. Then he dives into Podcasting 2.0’s Value4Value model, where listeners tip satoshis per minute or send one-off boosts via Alby, with no crypto expertise required. Finally, Todd walks through setting up these features in Blubrry and PowerPress so you can start earning micro-donations today. Blubrry Podcasting - https://blubrry...
