You're in the right place. Together, we'll help you attain 'podmastery'. I'm Neal Veglio, a veteran podcaster who first started dabbling with RSS in the early 2000s. Podcasting is such a complex medium, with so many factors that can impact your success. It's my goal to cover all these topics with you, and help you maximise the results you're getting from your efforts. And while my shows now enjoy thousands of listeners every single week, it wasn't always easy. When I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency. I learned a lot from that experience. I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals. Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my podcasting agency clients to do with all our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful! And ensuring you can avoid the dreaded 'podfade'! Take one step closer to Podmastery.

Then I had to go and actually do it — because the theoretical version of podcasting-about-podcasting is slightly embarrassing, and I hold myself to a better standard than the people spouting expertise about things they’ve never tried. So I enabled video for B2B Podcasting Insights, my other show, in Captivate. A real show, in a crowded market, with real numbers. This episode is the field report. In this one: What HLS video actually is — and why it isn’t the old MP4-in-the-RSS-enclosure trick that nobody could see What the listener experience really looks like (spoiler: “clean” is a Michelin star in podcast infrastructure) The hosting catch — it lives or dies on who you host with Three workflow changes nobody warns you about, including the upload time and editing for two audiences at once What two weeks of data actually showed — told straight, no fake growth-hack victory lap The honest verdict: who should switch it on now, and who should wait LINKS Got something about your show bugging you at half eleven at night?
