  • Jim1537’s Metaphysical Tools For Transformation
  • The Uglee Truth
  • Pizza Beer Revolution
  • The Ramen Noodle: Clean Comedy Podcast
  • EMTF Podcast
  • I Heard it Was Good
  • Swiftcast

In order to break things down a little bit, I’ve split the podcasts into three groups. At the beginning of each set of snippets I will introduce the podcasts and give you a little detail of what’s coming up, so at least you know what to expect!

Let’s get going with the first 3

Saturday Morning Theater

Saturday Morning Media is your one stop shop for new, family friendly audio and video new media content by the creator of The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd, Saturday Morning Media aims to bring the magic back to Saturday Mornings!

This snippet was recorded at the Long Beach Comic Con this week! and it’s a super special Thanksgiving episode which is live as of Wednesday.

Reality Check with Craig Price

Alan Cerny (@nordlingAICN on twitter) and host Craig Price give their annual holiday movie preview. The two cover their anticipated movies as well as identify traditional December Oscar Bait!  

Daily Adventure Tales

that encourages retired boomers to reinvent and reinvigorate their lives through trying something new every day

  • Featuring an opener by Donna Libra - Thanksgiving
  • Hiking and Thanksgiving Interview with Carl at Deukmejian Wilderness Park in Glendale California.
  • Skype call with her mom, where she does a Thanksgiving Poem, “The Night of Thanksgiving”, but not before giving Laurie her usual mom-like advice.
  • Laurie’s husband, and podcast helper, Mark wishes everyone a good holiday and wraps the podcast as usual.

Down These Mean Streets

It’s the show’s Thanksgiving Episode which went live on November 24th.

Down These Mean Streets presents classic detectives from the Golden Age of Radio.  Each week, they spotlight one of the best detectives of the era (Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, The Saint, Nero Wolfe, and many more). 

Along with the show, they share some of the behind the scenes history of the series and their stars.  In their Thanksgiving episode, they’ve got a holiday adventure of Sam Spade from 1950, “The Terrified Turkey Caper.”

Jim1537’s Metaphysical Tools For Transformation

A podcast where Jim and his wife Meremystic offer metaphysical and spiritual tools that help people heal and transform their lives.

The Uglee Truth

Sisters who decided to venture into the uncharted territory of pod-casting, to see if they’re the only one in on their jokes. They’ll make you giggle and agree – at least once – with girls who have absolutely no filter before speaking.

No Fear, No Filter!!

They name names. They don’t sugar-coat it. The Taylor Swift of the podcasting world. Did you burn the bridge? Were you nice? Do you remember? Are you scared? Listen to find out!

The snippet is involves chatter about Thanksgiving which turns into a Black Friday rant. Please note…there is a bit of colorful language in this bit, so if you have young ears listening maybe skip the next 7 min?

Pizza Beer Revolution

  They have and A side and a B side to this thing!

So the A side, which releases on Monday: Is Three friends, Mike Pullano (Host of NY Rangers Blueshirt Buzz), Chris Ippolito (Lead Singer of Chapterfive) & Joe Maffei (Pro Snowboarder), get together once a week, invite a guest over and order a pizza. (YUM!) 

While they are waiting for the pizza and guest to arrive, they discus HOW the revolution will be televised - scratch that - podcasted.

They will thrill and delight you with hysterical anecdotes, awesome-sauce music and semi-intelligent conversation on a wide range of topics. These guys are just trying to make it all happen and not get eaten by the machine… whatever that machine may be.

B-Side, Thursday Morning Release: When the guest and pizza finally arrives.  They enjoy the pizza & beer with the guest. Finding out what makes their guest tick. The interview is based on the topics discussed on the A side.   Episode Description: The B-Side of Episode 9 with Holly Migliaccio from Rook Coffee Roasters. The guys invite Holly Migliaccio over to the dining room to discuss why she’s most like a Live Southern Ale, what lead to her jumping ship from the corporate world & how the idea of starting a coffee chain revolutionized her life.


The Ramen Noodle: Clean Comedy Podcast

Seasoning packets of clean comedy to flavor your day.

LOVE that, so succinct!

And the little snippet that we will hear is 10 Black Friday deals that SHOULD happen, and you’ll hear Daniel J. Lewis and Jeremy Laughlin. A small summary of the episode: 10 Black Friday deals that should

ETMF Podcast

ETMF Podcast is the one stop podcast for all things pop culture. They are masters of “the segue way”, the ETMF podcast crew will talk about anything and everything. TV, movies, music, video games, interwebs tomfoolery, they’ve got you covered.

I Heard That Was Good

Where Tim and Carson talk about movies you forgot were about Thanksgiving. It’s one of those that you go “Oh yeah….remember that movie?” I totally said that about the movie Scent of a Woman, mentioned by these guys :)

Swiftcast - A Taylor Swift Podcast By Fans, For Fans

Fully dedicated to keeping up with Taylor Swift’s amazing daily news, but also equally as dedicated to keeping up with what’s going on in the Fan community aka Swifties.

And this little snippet is a fan cast at it’s best, it’s all about why they are thankful for the mighty Taylor Swift.

iTunes SEO

Jonathan from the Foreign Filmcast could not find The Feed in iTunes, so he ended up googling it and found it that way.

Did a little bit of research and I asked via social media if we could get some of our community to search for the feed in iTunes and we got an array of responses, so this is what I noticed:

  • If you search for The Feed and hit enter we are nowhere to be found.
  • If you search for The Feed in the search box, the little drop down list that comes up does have us on there twice.
  • There are what I think THOUSANDS of people that use ‘the’ + ‘feed’ in their title ie all the people from Blog Talk Radio - the blog talk radio feed, Linux Reality Podcast mp3 feed, etc.
  • There are also a ton of apps that use The Feed in their title or in their description.

-Elsie

What really matters in iTunes search

  • The title of the show
  • How many all time subscribers all time.
  • That’s it!

Replacing an existing file in Libsyn.

The way that works the quickest when replacing a file is to FTP the file up to your libsyn “dropbox” FTP folder - and make sure the new version has the identical file name as the original including CASE. That will overwrite the original with in a few minutes. And the stats will just continue on.

If you use the “replace” option in the UI - it could take a few hours for the new version to propagate out to the 40+ nodes around the world.

-Rob

Why should you publish to your libsyn feed

There are a few tutorials out there that recommend you upload files and select the option file for download only - these tutorials are ALL wrong and giving you bad advice. PERIOD.

Even if you don’t use or ever plan to use the Libsyn feeds or extra services like the smartphone apps or HTML 5 player or website or cross-posting to Wordpress or Blogger - or any other of the great services Libsyn offers - there is one service ALL Libsyn podcasters will want to be part of and that is our directory - directory.libsyn.com - and ALL those tutorials that say just to select file for download only when you upload a file - are for lack of a better phrase - screwing you over on the PR side.

Unless you publish to your libsyn RSS feed - your show will NOT repeat not show up in directory.libsyn.com and that is the same directory that powers our facebook app And well soon we will be talking more why it is even really important to be listed in that directory.

But for now if you are one that selects file for download only - well you are shooting yourself in the foot - and note publishing to your libsyn feed - where you add a title and description - does not change how any of those tutorials will work. If you would like instructions on how you can have all of your meta data imported over automatically for all your past episodes - shoot me an email rob@libsyn.com
