258 Free Speech and 2024 Podcast Predictions Begin

All the predictions discussion for 2024, including how the election year and podcast advertising intersect and expectations about social media podcast marketing and growth. A free speech soapbox from Rob; from RSS to newsletters; the video to podcast RSS feed workflow; discussing the casualties of the podcasting bloodbath, yikes! Details about a 301 redirect plus geographic and user agent and a bit of a deep dive into the Apple Podcasts iOS 17 update and how that affected download numbers!
