Anyway gang, got the podcast going last night and uploaded to as many platforms as I could. Gonna just keep posting the episodes weekly in here instead of littering other threads asking you guys to listen to my vanity project. So might as keep all my annoying self promotion condensed into one solitary, lonely thread.

https://open.spotify.com/show/47Nk2P7XttIBcBNgMCZkvg?si=CJb8t4ZbSUuafpTQ4tz1Tw

That's the link on spotify obviously. Approval for being able to listen and download on itunes is still pending. Will have all the social media shit hopfully done later today

@Harvey Specter or @Fatz Geronimo do either of you guys know how to go into the spotify settings and edit my name? Not that I care too much, but I'm not totally wild about spotify defaulted to saying the pod is by "my name" but it's not that big of deal

anyway, thanks listening

what platform are you using to host and upload? we use anchor, so all of the settings as far as name/episode descriptions/pictures/etc are edited in anchor and then filter out to Spotify, apple podcasts, etc

Podomatic. I might change to another one though. I don't know. It's already pissing me off and I've just been using it for less than 24 hours. I'll look into anchor.

Thanks man! It's definitely gonna get better. I listened to it this mornign and it definitey gets a little hard to follow and disorganized. I think the segmented parts work pretty well though. Let me know what you think when you finish
 
It’s gonna be based on how you set up the hosting. I used podbean, and setup my podcast name there, so thats what pushes out to all the platforms that read your RSS feed. I would imagine you could just update that on your hosting provider.

Or it’s possible you used your name when applying to have Spotify read your RSS feed and show your podcast. But I would imagine it’s the first option

How long did it take before yours was approved by iTunes
 
Harvey Specter said:
I think probably like 3 days. I don’t really know what’s involved, if they actually listen to the podcast or what. Surely they don’t do that for every single podcast

Just got the email saying mine was approved. Should be up in a few hours or so.

watch out world. My semi drunken ramblings on movies and tv shows are now on the biggest podcast platform there is.

know no one really carers. But I'll just talk to myself in here. But somehow. And I know it's not a "wow fugg me" type number, but I already have 121 subscribers without even promoting hte damn thing at all. Starting all the social media things next week after this next episode, so interested to see how much that'll affect things

was sick this weekend gang and still feeling a little under the weather. But recording the newest episode tonight. Gonna have everyhting out and going by the morning. Look out for the new social media pages tomorrow. Be sure to like, follow, subrscribe, rate five stars, and talk about my magnum dong in the comments gang. I appreciate it.
 
Gang. I know no one gives a fugg. But the person I was actually doing it with just quit. Was a long thing building up to this and then he just did. But no worries. Actually stoked about it. Called up my best friend from college. and he's gonna be the new partner. So may take a week off. But 'm actually war more excited about the show.

ha! well now I'm asking you to wait a week. I think my new friend will be more entertaining and fun. He' my best friend from college and he's super funny and unique. Like i said, I'm actually stoked Donnie dropped out. Sounds odd but I am. So I'm actually way more optimistic than I was before.

gang, been kind of retooling shit here on my end. Ready to get going again next week with my other friend. Anyways, the pod keeps getting listens and subscribers. Up to 192 subscribers with 160 listens/downloads without any social media promotion. Feel like that's pretty decent for just one pod episode and not sharing it with anyone.

More looking for Harv and Fatz's thoughts to tell me if that's what their numbers were like too.

Pretty good numbers in my opinion. I get between 50-80 downloads per episode but I spend zero effort advertising. Mainly just tell people in person if I think they’ll like it.

how do you know how many subscribers you have? I have no idea how to know that

my hosting site, podomatic.com, tells me the subscription numbers. I didn't know that was a weird thing? maybe it's innacurate but it seems to be accurate with the plays. So IDK.

Anyway. I'm excited to get going again and will be creating a insta, twitter, and facebook account to go with it soon. I'll be sure to promote them non stop in this thread so watch out or ignore.

we had a built in advantage with Steve and the mainboard... first episode was one we rushed out for The Open championship and it got over 1k downloads, which staggered me... numbers gradually fell off in the fall once NFL fired up and none of the big names were playing in the wraparound tourneys

curious to see how much they pick up as we go towards the masters and we start to do some promotion... we haven’t promoted it anywhere outside the mainboard and word of mouth... I’m twitter illiterate, but I’m going to really make a push the spring and summer and see if we can get some traction

best of luck with yours too

yeah. I don't have any big following on anything but my bud does have 12k instagram followers so I'm wondereng how that affects things. Hoping my photoshop skills with things help get a decent following on instagrm to but I'm not overly confident on twitter. Either way. I was excited to be at 192 without even sharing it with my friends or anything. Who knows though, it could drop off of like a stone in water but I was surprised to see it keep growing each day without adding new content.

I listened to a good bit of the first episode. Sounded good to me. I assume you recorded Donnie over Skype? I would say if your friend has any technical knowledge, to try and have him record himself on his local computer even if y’all talk over Skype, so then he can send you his audio file and sync them up in Audacity or whatever you’re using. Skype recordings just never sound quite as good in my opinion

well, Donnie didn't have a mic. He just didn't want to buy one bc he was unsure how far it'd go (lol). But my new friend definitely will. Probably would sound better over skype if he had a mic hooked up like me. IDK. Honestly, my new partner's dad is the type of guy that'd buy us a studio (exaggerating of course) but I'm happy to be moving on to somoene else. You guys have no idea how much I was trying to actually get rid of donnie before it all went down. And it kind of ended just perfectly. To the point where he can't ever accuse me of neglecting him or firing him. he has no recourse
