James Cridland and Sam Sethi talk on this weeks show about the open independent podcast ecosystem versus the closed ecosystems.  Will 2021 be a good year for podcasting or will we see the big players dominate such Amazon, Spotify and Apple by swallowing up all the independent podcast producers?  We talk about whether Spotify is good or bad for the industry and discuss programmatic advertising versus Spotify"s streaming advertising.  We ask if Netflix will enter the podcasting marketplace now it has an audio-only mode to listen to Netflix shows.   And we interview the Podfather Adam Curry and Dave Jones about Podcast 2.0, their initiative to keep podcasting as an open distributed platform for free speech.Buzzsprout Podcast hosting and a whole lot more Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
