"I'm Evo Terra, and I approve this message." No, I'm not running for office. But I do use the metaphor of politics on this short episode to better define the two camps I see forming in podcasting, plus offer up a "platform" of sorts for the one most strongly identify with. Note: The war between indie podcasters and professional podcasters is both made up and stupid. That's not what I'm talking about. The two "political groups" in podcasting are Conventional and Advancing. And I'm though I recognize the need for and welcome the views of those on the Conventional side, I'm a proud member of the Advancing party. Currently, I see two guiding principles that set my side apart.  We believe that technology should make podcasting better, not just easier. We believe that new models are required to reach the 70% who don't yet listen to podcasts. So yes, that means we love and welcome change. Changes across the spectrum of podcasting. Changes to hosting platforms. Changes to show formats. Changes to consumption apps and discovery methods. Changes to monetization opportunities. Changes that cause ripples down to the very foundation of how the Conventional side define podcasting. We're OK with that. Which side do you fall on, podcaster?Mentioned in this episode:Support For Abortion RightsWhile Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. 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.
