Podcasting IS NOT in trouble. Just because?Spotify, which is a big player in the podcasting space, is laying off some of it’s podcasting staff, doesn’t mean the industry is dying. To be honest, Spotify is just one of many places where people consume podcasts, not the ONLY place. And to be honest, people have been saying that podcasting is in a renaissance and also in a decline since it first started in 2005. And with so many podcasts out in the ecosystem, a slight drop is NOT huge. This is just the media making a story out of nothing, and I’m not a media-basher.
According to everyone’s favorite AI chatbot ChatGPT:
Podcasts, will always have a spot in people’s daily intake of media. Also, would YouTube, the 2nd biggest search engine after Google, be entering the podcasting space if it was dying? I don’t think so! Clearly, this really irks me.?
What do you think? Is podcasting in a death spiral? Or is this much to about nothing? Hit reply and let me know your thoughts.

- The problem with this software, is that there is a high-rate of false positives occurring, where original content, written by a person, is being flagged as being written by AI.
