Will YouTube kill podcasts?
|
In the pursuit of "making podcasts more discoverable," the podcast industry has welcomed YouTube with open arms. However, I think we're underestimating YouTube. I think it's "eating the world" in a way we've never seen before: I just made a video about it: I also wrote a blog post about it: 👉 justinjackson.ca/podcast-industry-youtube​ And I released it as a podcast as well: I don't think YouTube cares about "podcasting" as an industry (it's just another content keyword for them). I also think responses like "Let's add video to traditional podcast players" are missing the bigger picture. I'd love to know what you think!
As always, you can also reply to this email. 😄 Cheers,

Happy Saturday! Here are a few things on my mind... Warren Buffett's game Great post on Farnam Street: Students often go to visit Warren Buffett. And when they do, he often plays a little game on them. He asks each student to pick the classmate they would choose if they could have 10% of their earnings for the rest of their life. Which classmate would you pick and why? Then he changes things up again. Who would you think least likely to succeed? Why? He asks the students to take out a sheet...
Hey friends, Not recording The Panel today (sorry!), but I do have a ridiculous new animated video to show you: This is an inside joke from the Mostly Technical podcast: Ian Landsman (one of the hosts) loves to keep restarting his programming project (outro.fm). He does this by typing `laravel new` (which initiates a new Laravel project) in the terminal. Aaron Francis isn't impressed. (I have a new technique I'm using for these; I'll update this post about it soon) Cheers,Justin Jackson –...
