Year in Review – Predictions for 2016 for Podcasting – PHD071



Predictions from Last year:

Second Podcast movement – Less “Entrepreneur” focused – SORT OF
NMX/NAB – Best podcast event ever! – Was good, but the best? Might have been the last one 🙁

I will release “The NO BS Guide to Podcasting” in March and it will reach #1 on Amazon for Podcasting. (yes, bold and wishful thinking!) – BONK! nope…

I will Produce 50 episodes of Podcast Help Desk in 2015. (Leaving myself room to skip a couple but maybe even 52) – Nope… 37
This will be the year of the Story-telling podcast copy-cat. Like 2014 was the year of the Entrepreneur podcast. – Sort of
At least one popular Entrepreneur podcast will pod-fade (likely 100’s of copy-cats as well) – Several have pod faded, not sure about any major ones
Soundcloud will be sold and their Podcasting “Beta” program will be turned off. – Not yet, but we still have a few days left in 2015
Google will announce that Feedburner is going away in 2016 – not yet
Google will announce a Podcast listening app and directory for Android. (Crossing my fingers) – DING DING DING! Google Play
At least one “podcasting company” will shut down unexpectedly. (Not much of a stretch because it happens at least once every year) – We have had several shut down
In April, I will celebrate my 10 year anniversary in podcasting (Not sure of exact date) – Ding ding ding ( April 2015 was my 10 year anniversary in podcasting)
