In recent years we’ve seen how people are getting their podcast change. New apps, new formats etc. But does an RSS feed make a podcast, a real podcast? We discuss in various topics today how podcasting has evolved, changes to podcast RSS feeds, most importantly with Podcasting 2.0 initiatives and more on today’s episode of Podcast Insider with Mike and MacKenzie.

When is a podcast not a podcast?

Question: I have another person managing my podcast, but I don’t want them to have my login info. Can I have additional users on my Blubrry account?

Answer: Yes! We have account sharing. To find that, go to the Podcaster Dashboard at Blubrry.com and select your show (if you have more than one) and click on Show > Manage and then Sharing settings. You can invite people by email and give them access to your stats or publishing or both on the show level. They will not have access to the other shows on your account or your account settings.

Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show? Drop an email to mike@blubrry.com (audio, text, video), and we may use it. You can also post a question on the Blubrry Podcasting Facebook group.

The best place for support with any Blubrry product or service is our ticket system (https://blubrry.com/support/). Tickets give the whole team access rather than direct emails or calls.

Coming to you this week from Columbus, Ohio & Traverse City, Michigan. Produced by the Blubrry Pro-Production team.
