Since the term “podcast” was coined in 2004, the industry has gone through waves of changes, from the widespread use of RSS to the recent rise of video podcasting. Along the way, podcasters have been fascinated by their own medium, and numerous publications and conferences have emerged to explore the changing face of the industry. One of the most interesting formats to launch in the last two decades is a fascinating crop of podcasts about podcasts.
These shows are dedicated to exploring the intricacies of the audio format, from creating compelling series to expanding audiences — not to mention making money along the way.
Why Listen to Podcasts About Podcasts?
In this list of podcasts about podcasts, we’ve rounded up some fantastic shows that cover every aspect of podcasting: production, industry insights, audience growth, and monetization. Many of the shows cover more than one topic, while others excel in a single area, such as sharing new podcast trailers. We’ve put together a playlist with our favorite episodes, so make sure to check it out.
At the risk of sounding a bit “meta,” there’s a lot to learn about podcasting from the way these podcasters produce their shows. Some feature longer interviews with top industry voices, their episodes made to be digested over a coffee or to occupy listeners on the morning commute. Others are designed to be distributed as shorter clips, making them easy to circulate on social media platforms for engagement.
Regardless of their formats, it’s clear that these podcasts know when and where they want to reach their audience, and have laid out an effective strategy to achieve it.
