@mjwints This is exactly what happened with Odeo, who had to pivot to become Twitter. (They did okay.) Always a danger.

Streamr have built analytics for podcasters to give content owners real audience insights. Important, because MP3s are dumb files.

"Siri can't tell you a story." Spoken word storytelling is the oldest kind of media. Robots can't replace storytellers.

The average engagement time for audio content is ~20 minutes on a mobile device, found @SpokenLayer. Astounding in digital media.

Interesting hearing iTunes described as a "black box". In social media, people talk about Facebook that way, too. Open is better.

"However great NPR is, it's a bit of a locked environment." Podcasts allow for more creative freedom.

We talk about data visualizations, but what about audio? @CIRonline turned data into music. Beautiful and striking.

Excited to hear @CIRonline, one of the journalistic gems in the Bay Area, talking about Reveal News: http://revealnews.org

Deeply important point from @heathr: social isn't about marketing. Social allows us to have real relationships with our audiences.

.@getRAUR asks: "how do we get to 500 million podcast listeners?" 46m monthly in the US alone right now. Answer: bring social.

I love that @CBCRadioCanada is surfacing content from their archives that goes back to the 30s. @BBCiPlayer, pay attention.

DRM is a collective delusion that is usefully perpetuated to solve contract requirements.

A quick reminder: DRM actually doesn't work. There is no definitive way to stop people from stealing your content.

Hearing from @CBCRadioCanada about how they put together themed playlists to surface content. @Wavelist can help with this!

Pro podcasters often use the same $3K microphone. It would be awesome if an app could help record audio at an accessible price.

Cool! @PodClearTweets automates creating "double-ender" interviews, where each participant records audio locally.

.@PodClearTweets helps you record podcast interviews with studio quality sound. This is important: studio tech is expensive.

I've been using and enjoying the @audiosearchfm API. Genuinely a great source of intelligence for any podcast app.
