On the show today:

- International Podcast Advertising is Growing
We announced a deal with DAX to drive more podcast advertising opportunities to all podcasters building audiences outside of the USA into countries like UK, but are doing it in Canada, Italy, Spain and other countries.We are growing this area with our international presence.

Podcasting solution provider Voxnest announces today that it has partnered with DAX to help monetize UK audiences. Voxnest customers, including those on the company’s Spreaker platform, now have the benefit of DAX monetization, while advertisers can take advantage of advanced targeting and measurement solutions.

“It’s an exciting time to be involved in this medium, and we’re confident that our easy-to-use, efficient and scalable solution for creating, monetizing and distributing audio content will have a catalyzing effect on creators worldwide.”

This is utilizing Dynamic Ad Insertion technology at Voxnest to Spreaker to help all levels of podcasters to monetize.

- Record your podcast hand-free with Siri Shortcuts and Spreaker Studio

With iOS 12, Siri became more than just a voice assistant, it became your virtual mind reader, with the ability to recommend you things you should, or usually do, at particular times.

Siri now has the power to automatically identify your common tasks, location or calendar events and will tell you whether you should be somewhere or doing something.
Also, it suggests specific apps for specific situations, via its visual interface when you access Spotlight search or with the lock screen – meaning that you can repeat actions quickly and easily.

Now users will be able to record phrases which Siri will understand as triggers for predefined actions and this means that it’s even easier to access some of Spreaker Studio features in iOS on iPhone and iPad.

Example: Let your voice take control, use Spreaker Studio hands-free
Most interestingly though, there are two special Siri podcast commands available to use with your Spreaker Studio App which will make your podcasting life even easier.

First up, is the ‘Record Audio’ trigger, there’s no need to press a button, say the command and you’ll be recording. So even if you’re out and about and doing 200 other things at once, there’s no excuse now not to get podcasting!

- Listener Comments & Questions:

Mark Dowding - Spreaker Podcaster here - https://www.spreaker.com/user/maninbeta

I have to admit I am with Alex on the Pandora thing. Being from outside the USA

I don't even see my podcasts getting on to their platform, can we even get on to the Google platform yet?

The other issue I have is with listener feedback. Is this going to be yet another place I have to check for listener comments?

I don't want to alienate people by not responding to them. But there are too many platforms now to keep track of and see feedback on.

I am now of the opinion that if you know your audience then you know where they are mostly consuming their content.

I do a Football Manager podcast, a niche made mostly of a younger audience who consume a lot through youtube and Soundcloud. So those are the platforms I focus on (outside of the usual Apple, RSS crowd).
