  • Interesting Guests and Great Pacing.

    I love the pacing of this podcast. And the guest selection is perfection. Matt also has some of the most interesting sounding ads in the genre, and I like that the ads are the ads, and the rest of the show isn’t just a veiled pitch for his services(most other shows in the genre are).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Numeris' Derrick Gray: Radio's New Way to Count
Q: What counts as listening in the new system?
Listening is counted when tuning reaches a minimum threshold, with streaming and in-market radio combined through a statistical model to estimate total audience; high-level metrics will evolve toward more granular measures like average minute audience.
Gaëtan Harris: Sound Design Tips for Audio-First Podcasts
Q: What was your learning curve like at Pacific Content and how did it shape your approach to sound design?
It involved a real sense of imposter syndrome initially, followed by two years of gaining trust in my own decisions, collaborative brainstorming with the team, and a deep emphasis on pacing and music selection that made the podcasts sound exceptional.
Chris Brunt: Radio's Digital Evolution
Q: How far back does your experience with digital go, and what early moments shaped your view of online radio?
It goes back about 30 years, with early web pages, streaming tests, and the realization that the internet would eventually redefine audience reach and monetization, even if initial reactions undervalued it.
Bryan Barletta: Podcast Movement is Coming!
Q: What should creators and businesses be thinking about as they consider attending Podcast Movement?
Creators should consider submitting panels through the open portal, engaging with the community to learn and network, and leveraging the event to grow their audience and partnerships; businesses should focus on meeting creators and the people behind the microphone to understand how to support their growth and the overall ecosystem.
Bryan Barletta: Podcast Movement is Coming!
Q: Why is New York chosen as the hub for Podcast Movement and Sounds Profitable in the coming year?
New York is chosen to provide easy access for buyers and to bring together the core community in a city with abundant access points and networking possibilities, allowing a more flexible, creator-friendly experience without the logistical constraints of a fixed hotel location.
