Better Podcasting #093 – Embracing Emerging Internet Trends

In this week’s show we discuss why it’s important to adapt to change and embrace emerging Internet trends (for example, recognizing how a website is becoming less important than it once was). We’ll not only make suggestions on places to focus on but we’ll also set the stage with some intriguing statistics (and exclusive polls) about the evolution of internet use.

In this week’s Better Podcasting Download we’re going to talk about how SoundCloud has been saved again (at least for now) and SP does a quick calculation on how this compares to other podcast media hosts (note: do not this is an approximate calculation based on the best of our knowledge but do not take this as financial advice).

Finally, in this week’s Better Podback we’ll take your feedback before Stephen gives a review of the Shure SE215 in ear monitors.
