In this episode of the New Media Show, hosted by Todd Cochrane and Rob Greenlee, the hosts discuss their predictions for podcasting in 2025.

The conversation starts with Todd discussing the various online streaming platforms he has been experimenting with, specifically StreamYard, Riverside, and Restream. He shares frustrations about these platforms’ usability features, noting that specific platforms lack efficient screen-switching capabilities, which frustrate his workflow during live-streamed tech shows.

Rob then suggests considering OBS as an alternative, noting its steep learning curve but potential benefits. Todd laments spending on multiple streaming services that don’t meet all his needs. They agree that while some services come close to perfect with certain features, others lag frustratingly behind.

As the conversation evolves, they delve into broader predictions for podcasting in 2025. Both hosts agree that video podcasting will continue to gain attention, though they share concerns about whether monetization models for video content will become viable for creators. They also predict a rise in highly specialized podcasting networks focusing on niches, reflecting a media industry trend towards more targeted content offerings.

The conversation concludes with speculation about new technologies impacting podcasting, like evolving AI capabilities that might alter content production and distribution. The participants express skepticism about AI in content creation and stress the importance of authenticity in human-generated content.

Overall, the episode captures technical frustrations, insights into evolving media strategies, and thoughtful predictions about the podcasting industry’s trajectory into 2025. It is wrapped up in a candid and engaging conversation between two veterans in the field.
