It's been a long seven months here in the United States (as it has been elsewhere), and we're only two weeks away from the U.S Presidential Debates - which was recently suggested to be hosted on Joe Rogan's podcast, with Donald Trump and Joe Biden. We ask, is a presidential debate on a podcast a good idea?

Don't worry we discuss more than just politics integrated into politics this episode. Such as news from Amazon Music / Audible, some moves to the Apple team, and some upcoming events.

Live Facebook Recording.

Thanks for joining us this episode of Podcast Insider. Looking to be a guest on the show? Let us know.

Recorded live from two well-separated and socially distant podcast studios in northern and southern Michigan; here’s Podcast Insider.
News:

Amazon Music / Audible added podcasts in the US, UK, Germany and Japan.

Jake Shapiro, CEO of Radio Public and PRX founder moves to Apple Podcasts.

Presidential Debate on a Podcast? For four hours?!

Podfest is doing a Podcast Masterclass on Sept 28 - October 2nd.

Best Practice:
Audio levels and tools for editing/recording
For Podcast insider, we use a lot of tools. 

Auphonic for leveling + Blubrry Pro Production

Audition, for editing and final file creation

Recorded on each end with hardware recorders.  Rodcaster Pro and Dennon digital audio recorder as a backup.

Blubrry News:

Amazon Music / Audible podcasts: YES, we will be building in support for Amazon in our products. If you'd like to submit your show now, head here.

Push vs. Pull: RSS (and podcasting) is a PULL. You create your show and create an RSS feed.  All the directories and apps PULL your show when they can. It can take 24-72 hours. This is normal. That is why you want your listeners to subscribe; if they do they get episodes as soon as their app pulls your feed (normally within an hour).
