"Welcome to the 50th episode of the 'Future of Podcasting' with your hosts, Daniel J. Lewis and Dave Jackson. Today, we look closer at how podcasting technology is becoming increasingly 'invisible' to end users (and needs to keep heading in that direction). We'll explore how reducing technical barriers is making podcasting more accessible, comparing it to the early days of the medium and its evolution. From iTunes revolutionizing podcast access in 2005 to modern innovations like Anchor and advanced podcasting equipment, we’ll highlight the key turning points that have shaped the industry. We also discuss future predictions and the enhancements needed in podcasting, such as seamless cryptocurrency payments and better integration with platforms like Spotify. Stay tuned as we celebrate this milestone episode and imagine a future where podcasting is effortless and intuitive for everyone."Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Audacity to PodcastSchool of Podcasting Daniel's Key Note from 2015Your HostsFind Dave at schoolofpodcasting.comFind Daniel at theaudacitytopodcast.com  Support The ShowDanielPodgagement - Boost Your Audience EngagementSocial Subscribe and Follow PluginDaveBuy Dave a Coffee Join the School of PodcastingProfit From Your Podcast Book New Podcast AppsListen to this podcast on any of the fine value-enabled app at www.newpodcastapps.com  Want to leave a voice comment?
