325 - YouTube Updates, Introducing North Flow, and Industry Commentary

YouTube just added a community tab for creators, and we think it’s a real advancement! It’s news day, and we’re bringing you the latest podcast industry headlines! We share our takes on platform updates, shifting charts, upcoming events (including the Empowered Podcasting Conference), and what the latest Cumulus study reveals about listener behavior. We’re also joined by friends Simona Costantini and Taly Melo to share their new podcast management system, North Flow. Designed for solo podcasters, agencies, and networks, it helps streamline everything from guest booking to episode planning and team collaboration. If your workflow feels clunky or chaotic, this might be what you’ve been looking for.

In observance of Juneteenth, there will be no episode on June 19th. We’ll be back Friday, June 20th.
