1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,800 Hey everybody. Welcome to Poduty and the News for Monday, May 12th. I'm your host. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,760 Let's hear today's theme music and topics. 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,320 It's Poduty in the News with your host, Jeff Rebella. Serving stories 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,080 hot, no filler or thriller from Real Madrid fans to vineyards that 5 00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,760 shine, Spotify plays and student mic time. So grab your 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,680 gear. It's time to choose. Let's dive into Poduty 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,240 All right. We'Ve got soccer, wine, stats 8 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:29,580 and classroom is in session for podcasting. 9 00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:33,660 Let's get into our first story of tonight. You 10 00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:36,700 can file this one under Goal Oriented Storytelling 11 00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,180 Sources, Managing Madrid and Soccer Fans. This one is 12 00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:44,980 for you. Managing Madrid, the podcast dedicated to real 13 00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:48,660 world Madrid coverage, went live in Toronto on May 14 00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:52,260 10. It was hosted by Keon Sobhani and 15 00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:55,850 Lucas Navarrett. The show featured in depth analysis, 16 00:00:55,930 --> 00:00:59,050 tactical breakdowns and live Q and A with fans. 17 00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:03,170 The event gave listeners a chance to connect with the host and 18 00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:06,770 fellow Madridistas in person. It's another 19 00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:10,450 great example of how sports podcasts are taking the passion 20 00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:14,170 off the screen and onto the stage. I loved everything 21 00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:17,530 about this event. If you have a chance to go out and do live events, 22 00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:21,350 that's what we're doing at the Poduty Live Podcast Theater. We are building 23 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:25,030 a live podcast event arena. Come on down. Check it 24 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:28,710 out@piduti.com our second 25 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:32,470 story file under Locals Live and a Little Bit of Wine. 26 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:36,670 The NOFO Live, hosted by Sunita Norma and 27 00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:40,230 Tracy Kessler, is spotlighting the stories and flavors 28 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:44,230 of Long Island's North Fork. Their live podcast dives 29 00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:47,510 into local food, wine and culture, bringing together chefs, 30 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:50,950 winemakers and community leaders for a laid back 31 00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:53,830 conversation with a hometown feel. 32 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:58,670 Set against the scenic charm of the Hamptons, the show blends lifestyle 33 00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:02,470 and storytelling with a glass of in hand. It's podcasting 34 00:02:02,470 --> 00:02:05,870 with heart, heritage and a healthy pour of local 35 00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:09,590 flavor. And what they do is once a year they do this event. 36 00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:13,230 You can go see their event. We have the all the links for all of 37 00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:16,630 our stories in the show notes. But they're doing live events. They're bringing their community 38 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:20,400 together tied together with their podcast and their love for the local 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,160 area. This is one story and one model you might want to check out 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120 for doing your podcast live. Let's go 41 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,880 to our third story tonight. Spotify. This 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,480 has been all over the news recently. Spotify now shows how many times 43 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,280 people listen to the podcast episode. Now we don't 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,120 know what a play is and let's figure this out. Spotify is displaying public 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,860 play counts on individual podcast episodes. Starting with 46 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:50,380 its own original and licensed contents, listeners can see 47 00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:54,060 exactly how many times an episode has been played, giving some insight 48 00:02:54,060 --> 00:02:57,900 into what's popular before hitting the play button. This new 49 00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,660 feature will expand all podcasts by the end of the year, adding a layer 50 00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:05,460 of transparency and social proof. I'm going to put that in quotes. 51 00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,540 It's a big shift for podcast discoverability and could help both 52 00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:13,300 creators and fans identify standout episodes more easily. 53 00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:16,810 And this is an example of trying to get more data out of 54 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:20,530 systems and closed systems like Spotify. While they don't say what counts as 55 00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:24,290 a play, whether it's one second, whether it's 10 seconds, whether it's some sort of 56 00:03:24,290 --> 00:03:27,970 interaction, we don't know what a defined play is, but 57 00:03:27,970 --> 00:03:31,450 it's just it's give you a little more idea of the direction 58 00:03:31,450 --> 00:03:35,130 Spotify is going into and trying to show transparency in quotes 59 00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:39,370 to their listeners. And our final story 60 00:03:39,370 --> 00:03:43,200 tonight, the deadline for NPR Student Podcast 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,040 Challenge entries are due May 24th. We're going to file this under Class 62 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,800 is in session. This comes from npr. NPR 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,720 Student Podcast Challenge just gave young creators more time to shine. 64 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,320 The submission deadline has been extended until May 25. 65 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Open to middle and high school students, the contest encourages 66 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,920 kids to craft powerful audio stories in under 8 67 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,440 minutes. With lesson plans and how to guides and 68 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,280 audio tips available on the challenge site, this is the perfect chance 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,600 for classrooms to turn creativity into a national 70 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,720 recognition. There's still time to press record and make your 71 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,320 story heard. This is a great program. It gets kids 72 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,560 interested into different mediums. Let them explore what 73 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,360 podcasting can do for them and get the sense 74 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,640 you got a lot of time. You still have two weeks left.
