RAIN: Podcast Forecast: What's Next?

Oct 19

Written By Steven Goldstein, Amplifi Media

In September at the RAIN Summit in Nashville, I moderated, Podcast Forecast: What's next? We had an excellent group of panelists and a insightful conversation covering the pathway to the mainstreaming of podcasting.

Among the topics:

Why do all podcasts have the same advertisers?

In a sea of over 300,000 podcasts, how do you make a podcast stand out?

What happens when a podcast doesn't gain traction?

When do brand advertisers come to podcasting?

When does commercial radio jump in?

Panelists include Sarah van Mosel (Commercial Director, Acast), John Rosso (President, Market Development, Triton Digital), Brian Landau (EVP, Digital Sales & Strategy, DGital Media), Brendan Regan (VP, Content & Partnerships, audioBoom), and Brendan Monaghan (CEO, Panoply).

Here is the video of the panel:
