Welcome to the Replay of Live Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee of AdoreNetwork.com! From Thursday, March 6, 2025, 7 PM EST, and we’re diving into the seismic shift shaking up podcasting in “Wake Up, Podcasters: The 2025 Media Revolution is Here! Big platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple are tightening their grip, video is rewriting the rules, and AI—yes, artificial intelligence—might just out-podcast us all. This is your wake-up call: the game is changing fast, and we’re here to help you survive and thrive. The podcasting landscape isn’t the Wild West anymore. Platforms are consolidating power, scooping up creators, audiences, and ad dollars, while legacy media crumbles. Audio-only growth is flatlining, and big shows are dominating the cash flow. Meanwhile, video is crashing the party with deeper metrics and bigger revenue—though Spotify’s push for video is stirring up trouble for RSS-based audio. Their caching strategy is disrupting dynamic ad insertion, leaving audio revenue flat while video hogs the spotlight. Is RSS on borrowed time? Not yet, but the old podcast highway is getting a flashy new offramp. So, what’s the play? Podcasting is going pro. Video is in, hosting is cheap, and platforms are offering revenue shares—but audiences demand polish, and the days of “just hit record” are gone. Too many podcasters have podfaded, burned out by the grind and lack of instant payoff. Starting a show in 2025 takes skills, strategy, and a plan to scale—or you’re toast. Stick with us weekly to mine the gold still out there. And then there’s the wild card: AI. Artificial intelligence—and soon, superintelligent ASI agents—could script, record, edit, publish, and market your podcast before breakfast. Media creation is about to flip upside down. Will AI out-podcast us, or become our secret weapon for pro-level content on the cheap? The choice is yours: team up with the machines or get left behind. Podcasting in 2025 isn’t dead—it’s evolving. Video is rising, platforms are flexing, and AI is rewriting the script. Whether you’re starting fresh or growing your show, now’s the time to adapt, professionalize, and dream big.
