Today’s topic is relevancy, and the conversation is led by Mark Asquith. Not only does Mark host his own PAP (podcast about podcasting) called the Podcast Success Academy, but he’s the CEO and co-founder of the UK-based technology company Rebel Base Media. They make a lot of podcast-specific services and products, including PodcastWebsites, Poductivity and Captivate.fm. (Disclaimer: I sit on the advisory board of Captivate.)Why talk about relevancy and what it means to working podcasters of today and tomorrow? How about:The podcast landscape is vastly different than it was just a few years ago, and the pace or rapid change is increasing.Big entertainment brands are entering the space, and that impacts how smaller shows present themselvesWhile consumers are growing more demanding, they’re also finding more ways to engage with their favorite things and passions via podcastingThose consumers don’t care how they get their content, only that they get what they wantWhy podcasters need to hold their heads high as they beat their drums.And when you hear the last set of bumps, be sure to stick around to the end of the file for a little special something… that Mark probably wished I had edited out.-----Share this with a friend: https://player.captivate.fm/5b28dc3f-2a5b-4c93-bf6f-4f566bb4b63fPodcast Pontifications will return in January 2020, published by Evo Terra four times a week and is aimed at the working podcaster.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion
