With the increased demand for podcasts, indie podcasters have been experiencing a boom in subscribers and listeners! The rise of mobile casting, which allows consumers to listen to a podcast on their smartphones, has dramatically helped the podcaster community.
Introduction to digital podcasting
Digital podcasting may seem fairly new, but it has been around for a while. Podcasts can be heard through their website or at any number of other outlets such as YouTube and the iTunes store. Although digital media is anything but new, the latest technologies have allowed podcasting to grow and change at a fast pace. Research has shown that there is over $6 billion worth of potential revenue in mobile podcasting alone.
Benefits of digital podcasting
Digital podcasting users across the world are routinely producing live & pre-recorded audio content for their audiences without ever leaving home or having to set foot in the studio. The potential reach of the podcast attracts all types of interests from students, parents, entrepreneurs, travelers, etc. Podcasting is open to anybody with microphones equipped with a pocket-sized recording device that enhances creativity to delve into other genres & work at any time & anywhere.
Podcasting is used as a mega-tool for reaching listeners and getting them to join your tribe. Podcasting is one of the fastest-growing and changing media formats. Suppose you’re looking for a way to introduce new content into your audience or serve as an experiential opportunist to gather leads and other types of prospects. In that case, there’s really no better place to be than podcasting.
When compared with last year, the number of podcasts people listen to has increased by almost 45%. You’ll need a knack for writing and or speech, cutting out those witty sayings like “here’s our show,” etc.
How to start a podcast
Many podcasters use mobile devices to create podcasts, but you do need equipment to start a business podcast. You can use your computer, tablet, or phone for this process. However, a microphone is required, which allows you to record an original podcast that other podcasters can then download.
The clarity of the sound will depend on the device you choose. One primary piece of equipment that is typically needed to produce a podcast is a microphone. This piece of equipment can be used with voice or voice-over recordings.
An external audio recorder may be less costly for smaller audio recording spaces because soundproofing and audio readers are not required. Podcasts have skyrocketed in popularity. In 2005, there were fewer than 100 podcasts. In 2018, just ten years later, there were over 70 million. The number of people listening to more than eight hours of content weekly is up from 18% to 38%.
Helpful resources for transitioning from paper publishing to the Internet
With its ease of use and convenience, mobile-friendly podcasting is quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Podcasts are being released on devices, including smart speakers, PCs/Macs/Laptops, cell phones, and smartphones.
However, knowing where to start can be tricky. Helpful resources for transitioning from paper publishing to the Internet such as podcasting tool Audacity (Audacity website) and SoundCloud (SoundCloud website) can be found through a search online or at their Facebook Page, both of which hold valuable information to help you smoothly transition into this new world.

Apple TV is Keeping Customers Tuned in with Exclusive Content
Apple TV is not slowing down its content production on the streaming device by teaming up with new partners, building their own Apple TV Shows, and creating exclusive TV content.
What is the Apple TV?
Apple TV is a media streaming device produced by Apple Inc. It can connect to televisions through cable, satellite, or Wi-Fi networks. The 4K Apple TV has limited storage capacity, but you can plug external hard drives into a USB port on the system for additional storage space if needed.
The interface of the iTunes store is sleek and straightforward, with large tiles that make it easy to see movies and television shows while scrolling through them with a remote.
The original content made by Apple is unbelievable
Traditionally, Apple TV has been best known for its content delivery of third-party programs. However, the company has been moving into original content more aggressively since unveiling their newest original series based on Carpool Karaoke in August 2016. Created by James Corden (of Late Late Show with James Corden fame) and Ben Winston (Producer of Adele’s “Hello” music video), the show features celebrities doing their favorite tunes together over a car ride.
Available only on iOS devices, the iOS App Store has iOS apps that users can download onto their iOS device. Apple TV offers a wide range of rotating content they generate in-house or created exclusively for Apple. They also provide a variety of their own original programming that they have been rolling out over the past year, including “Planet of the Apps,” “Carpool Karaoke,” and “Clips.”
Subscription services on Apple TV
The Apple TV 4K has been a raving success since its launch, and a significant reason for this was its built-in subscription services allowing customers to stream a variety of content straight from their device. What’s more, with each new release of the Apple TV, its streaming quality continues to become sharper and clearer. With so many subscription-based video streaming services now available, devices like the Apple TV must keep up with constant improvements as this will keep customers tuned in to their content. Live TV is available on Apple TV. What’s more, there are also additional subscription-based video services, such as Hulu and Netflix.
Conclusion
Apple TV has exclusive and original content and, avoiding many of the limitations of television, is proving to be a viable solution. Apple TV continues to deliver on its promise of being everything you love in one device. Customers will want to tune in to Apple TV if they value exclusive content from their favorite programs. In addition, an unmatched experience with Siri means it’s easier than ever for customers to find and enjoy their entertainment. Apple is doing a lot to stay at the forefront of TV innovation. I firmly believe that Apple TV will carry this momentum through the remainder of 2021, which only means better things for app developers and show creators in the long run.

Music streaming has grown in popularity over the years. Starting with the launch of Apple Music in 2015, many companies wanted to try and capture some market share by launching their own music streaming service. Google Play Music launched in 2015, YouTube Red was launched in 2016, Spotify launched in 2008. Despite minimal growth, Amazon still built up an impressive subscriber base for their music streaming service over the past three years.
The Growth of the Amazon Music Streaming Service
Amazon Music, the popular streaming service, is proving to be an amazing competitor in the industry. Amazon Music has over 50 million songs and thousands of playlists available for streaming or downloading. This service can also be used with Alexa, Amazon’s voice-activated virtual assistant, so listeners can conveniently ask Alexa to play music while their hands are busy completing other tasks. Amazon Music Unlimited has over 55,000,000 paid subscribers worldwide.
The advantages of using the Amazon Music Service
Amazon Music allows customers to listen to any music and create and manage playlists consisting of those songs. An Amazon Music Unlimited trial is free for 30 days, or customers can choose to purchase an album or a monthly subscription starting at $9.99. All individual tracks and albums bought through Amazon Music will be available to download and carry with them on their other devices. This leading music streaming service uses several adaptive algorithms to provide entertainment and lifestyle listening based on the interests and manner of the listener.
Why Is The Amazon Streaming Great for Artists?
Streaming careers have come very far in the past decade, with all the competition across many different apps available. One particular app that has proven increasingly popular is Amazon. Its main feature is that it’s free to use for Prime members, who are given access to free unlimited music streaming outside of their home country. However, the most significant benefit is the wide varied genre choice available to users. Listeners have access to an almost endless amount of songs for their taste, regardless of what they are after. What does that mean? If you’re any kind of artist, it means that we know that there is a good chance we can reach a significant number of people and help them build their fan base and establish a niche audience.
