Podcast Platform Transition Announcement
00:00:08
Speaker
Welcome to Talking to Todd.
00:00:09
Speaker
A little behind-the-scenes business meeting here for y'all.
00:00:13
Speaker
I know how much everybody enjoys these.
00:00:21
Speaker
Is that how it goes in your house too?
00:00:23
Speaker
When you say, hey, I've got a new job.
00:00:28
Speaker
I had to, you know what?
00:00:29
Speaker
I got to go clean something up now.
00:00:32
Speaker
I'll just be right back.
00:00:35
Speaker
You know how we've been on Podbean for like six years?
00:00:40
Speaker
The original home of talking to Todd.
00:00:44
Speaker
Which is an appropriate way to phrase it.
00:00:48
Speaker
Because like our previous houses, we are now moving on.
00:00:53
Speaker
The podcast is going to remain.
00:00:55
Speaker
But the home of the podcast.
00:00:57
Speaker
We've signed an NIL deal with Netflix.
00:01:00
Speaker
And nope, just kidding.
00:01:02
Speaker
Nope, that's not happening.
Listener Impact and Transition Plan
00:01:07
Speaker
No, we're going to be moving where our podcast is hosted.
00:01:11
Speaker
Now, the good news is for everybody who gets...
00:01:16
Speaker
our podcast from Apple podcast, Spotify, which, which other ones, Dwayne?
00:01:29
Speaker
If you're using a third party podcast, you know, Apple podcast, any of those, you shouldn't notice any difference.
00:01:39
Speaker
Because they can't all be winners.
00:01:41
Speaker
Failure is always an option.
00:01:47
Speaker
But all of that should go seamlessly.
00:01:49
Speaker
You don't have to worry about it.
00:01:51
Speaker
Lots of tech people behind the scenes, not us, people who know what they're doing.
00:01:56
Speaker
We'll take care of all this.
00:01:57
Speaker
However, there is a subset of people who listen to this podcast who will be affected by this.
00:02:04
Speaker
If you are listening on Podbean,
00:02:11
Speaker
We don't know, but we're either way, we're going to stop paying them.
00:02:19
Speaker
We're, we're streamlining here because, you know, we've been paying for two services and instead of paying for two services, now that.
00:02:33
Speaker
we're just going to pay for one service since we've recognized some redundancies since the inception of talking to Todd, uh, as well, hopefully, hopefully we've gotten better at our podcasting.
00:02:49
Speaker
Our hosters and video providers have also gotten better and expanded their services to the point where we no longer need both of what we're paying for and can live just on the one.
Guidance for Podbean Users
00:03:03
Speaker
Like Todd said, we're moving.
00:03:07
Speaker
Next week is moving day.
00:03:09
Speaker
So if you listen to us on Apple podcast, Spotify, third-party apps, you almost likely don't have to do anything at all.
00:03:17
Speaker
If you listen to us on Podbean or the Podbean podcast app, first of all, don't do that.
00:03:25
Speaker
But if you're listening to us on that, what you'll need to do is stop using that app.
00:03:31
Speaker
Go into, if you have an iPhone, just use the Apple podcast app.
00:03:34
Speaker
It's very good now.
00:03:36
Speaker
And search for Talking to Todd.
00:03:41
Speaker
It's talking and the number two.
00:03:44
Speaker
There's no G and there's no space.
00:03:46
Speaker
You can also just search for Todd Prince or you can search for Dwayne Johnson.
00:03:51
Speaker
Not that Dwayne Johnson.
00:03:53
Speaker
Maybe just search for Todd.
00:03:53
Speaker
Just search for, yes.
00:03:55
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good note.
00:03:57
Speaker
And subscribe through the Apple Podcast app.
00:04:01
Speaker
And here's the thing.
00:04:03
Speaker
After we make this change, if you have any problems, we were joking and then we said this will actually work.
Support for Transition Issues
00:04:10
Speaker
If we make the change and it stops updating for you, just text one of us.
00:04:14
Speaker
We'll help you out.
00:04:15
Speaker
We're more than happy to help you out and get you to the right place.
00:04:19
Speaker
And honestly, I mean, we say it every week, but you can get talking to Todd anywhere you get your pods.
00:04:30
Speaker
What do you listen on?
00:04:32
Speaker
The name of the app is Overcast, but it pulls everything from the Apple podcast, Apple podcast directory.
00:04:39
Speaker
So anyway, I would.
Enhancing Listening Experience with Show Notes and Art
00:04:46
Speaker
I would choose an app where you can read the show notes.
00:04:52
Speaker
And I don't say this just because I write them.
00:04:55
Speaker
And they're very good.
00:04:55
Speaker
They're very good.
00:05:00
Speaker
inappropriately proud some weeks of the show notes.
00:05:04
Speaker
And honestly, they probably don't make a whole lot of sense before you listen to the show.
00:05:08
Speaker
But if you listen to the show and then you read the show notes, you're like, oh, okay.
00:05:14
Speaker
And this week's show art.
00:05:16
Speaker
Todd did a fantastic job on the upcoming episodes show art.
00:05:20
Speaker
So I just want to put that out there to make sure that
00:05:24
Speaker
You pick a player where you get the full options.
Chapter Titles and Player App Quirks
00:05:30
Speaker
Well, on your player, Todd, it creates sections, section headers for you.
00:05:38
Speaker
That's the Apple podcast app.
00:05:40
Speaker
Creates chapter and chapter titles.
00:05:44
Speaker
Whether we want it to or not.
00:05:46
Speaker
Oh, that's not helpful.
00:05:48
Speaker
Anyway, just a little quick, little quick business meeting here for everybody.
00:05:53
Speaker
Let you know what's going on.
00:05:54
Speaker
But if you don't see the pod and you think that one has dropped.
00:06:01
Speaker
Or if you get to if you get to Sunday and you're like, where the hell is the pod?
00:06:05
Speaker
Because that happens.
00:06:06
Speaker
Maybe it's because I haven't gotten my work done yet.
00:06:08
Speaker
I mean, I do do 98 percent of it.
00:06:13
Speaker
And if you didn't hear this message because we had already changed, just reach out and let us know.
