Does the word “podcast” limit us?
- The case made for why live performances have a place in podcasting
- A change in format, live events
- Example with the podcast American Enough with Vikrum Aiyer at SXSW, having same feel as in the studio despite being in front of a live audience
- How podcasts can maintain intimacy with the integration into the live event part of the nature of the medium
- Another touchpoint of blending into the live experience, having the hosts normally in your head and ears and a chance to see them in person and come to life, and that we will see more live recordings
- How events can make podcasts easier to monetize
- The tension between the role of podcasting and radio
- Scott Hopeck from iHeart – unplug vs plug in
- Radio is cut up to be quickly consumed – plug in and move forward
- Podcasts are turning out more daily shows, tips, analysis etc/ in a move toward “plug-in”
- Is there a use-case built that allows the rest of people to engage in a learning mechanism, there aren’t enough tools built for that
- Will see a shift in the content created as the tools change for the listener
- Are we seeing a change in demographics of the podcast listener based on how the ease of adopting a podcast came about
- Idea of personal connection vs. alienation, how a podcast is the personal connection but when visuals are added it becomes alienating
- Sound design can help build personal connections
- Important to think of cognitive processes and the science behind them, such as giving context to a sound, play with perception of the world built around an individual, play with experience, immersion
- Is the term podcast archaic? — long form vs. short form audio?
- Long form audio as a secondary medium and not a podcast to be played on an iPod
- Room for live performance in podcasts, inside of cars, in home devices
- Shift of what audio can be in the world
- Voice search, voice integrated
- Broadening our idea of what exists in the ecosystem of the podcast, seeing it larger
- What is this word for the world we are creating?
- How expanding our minds is vital
