Hey, Podcasters!

Alban and Jordan are back from Podcast Movement in New York, and they came home with a lot to talk about.

Podcasting has changed dramatically since Buzzsprout attended the first Podcast Movement in 2014. This year’s conference made that growth especially clear with bigger businesses and new conversations about where the industry is headed.

But some of their favorite moments were still the familiar ones: meeting other podcasters, hearing great ideas, and talking about why people keep making shows in the first place.

That led to a bigger ​conversation​ about the future of indie podcasting. Is there room for smaller, more focused events built around creators who simply love making podcasts?

They also share their favorite talks from the conference, updates from the Podcast Standards Project, and a great reminder from Ira Glass about something audio can do better than almost any other medium.

If you want to know what’s changing in podcasting and what it could mean for indie creators, listen to this episode of ​Buzzcast​!
