About this listen

 The Golden Globes crowned a podcast winner, Netflix leaned further into podcast deals, and Spotify shifted the rules again. Big headlines are everywhere, but are they actually beneficial for indie podcasters? Today’s conversation breaks down what’s making waves across the industry, including awards, ads, platform power, and what happens when podcasting gets Hollywood attention. There’s excitement around visibility and growth, and there’s discomfort around who gets recognized and who gets left out. We unpack how these moves affect indie and commercially successful podcasters, as well as prestige versus sustainability, attention versus trust, and why not every big industry moment translates into real support for creators.Episode Highlights: [01:58] Listener mail featuring Joshua’s letter[07:05] Podcast news and updates[15:11] Ralph’s business bite[16:50] Spotify’s big move for video podcasters[21:14] Netflix enters the podcast era[26:43] iHeartMedia’s new platform integrations[29:12] Concerns about ads in podcasts[30:56] Celebrity podcasts: hits and misses[37:34] SEO boosts using Podpage[40:09] Golden Globes introduces a Best Podcast category[46:24] Reflections on the Golden Globes and what it signals for podcastingLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Empowered Podcasting Conference Course with Recordings: https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodfest: https://podfestexpo.comDiscover Pods:https://discoverpods.com/aboutPodNews: www.Podnews.net Spotify Makes it Easier for Creators to Earn: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/spotify-makes-it-easier-creators-earn-reveals-10-billion-podcast-spend-2026-01-07Netflix is officially in its Podcast Era: https://www.podcastnewsdaily.com/news/podcast-news-bites-netflix-the-ringer-true-native-media-dina-temple-raston/article_afb40e07-17d3-427e-b035-e1533ae0bddb.htmliHeart Media Wants Your Podcast Everywhere and on Everythinghttps://www.podcastnewsdaily.com/news/iheartmedia-unveils-new-platform-integrations-at-ces-2026/article_c8928609-91c6-45e1-8ea9-7bf3758361a2.htmlPodpage Unveils Automated SEO Boost for Podcastshttps://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmedia Podcasts Hit Golden Globes: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/business/media/golden-globes-podcasts.htmlHost Nikki Glaser Welcomes us to the Podcast Era, 83rd Annual Golden Globes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZMMVK7mkoURemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
