00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:04,559
If you remember, just over a
year ago, on March 8th of the

2
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:08,400
two thousand twenty- three, I
published not one but two episodes on the

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,199
same day, talking about Spreaker and
his shift to a free version on this

4
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:17,359
pay- per- view podcast hosting
platform. It was quite a surprise,

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,280
because so far it did not include
any free and unlimited options. But this

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,120
option is already one year old and
we will look back to see what it

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,519
has produced within its offer and,
above all, the possibilities it offers us.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,960
We welcome you across the microphone.
On the other side of the microphone,

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,840
a project by Jorge Marín Nieto in
which you will find your daily ration

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,159
of metapodcasting STING, with news,
events, tools or episodes of opinion in

11
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:54,399
just ten minutes, ten minutes,
ten minutes, welcome and welcome as every

12
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:57,079
working day. That' s right, I do this daily metapodcasting relationship.

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:00,920
I am Jorge Marín and like every
day, in just ten fifteen minutes I

14
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:07,920
bring you a new event tool contest, episode of opinion, reflection to a

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,120
certain error, finally everything related to
the podcasting that surrounds me before starting full

16
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,439
with the episode today let me saber
you two things, because I do not

17
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,920
want to forget them if they are
quite important. On the one hand,

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,920
this same Friday you come 10th of
May, we have a new edition of

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,680

the cinema located in the street of the

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,439
cicarrieras. Number six. With the
podcast we give for a coffee with SEU,

21
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:37,840
which has prepared us a super special
edition Believe me. Although this Friday

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,040
I have prepared an episode with all
the details about this recording, I do

23
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:46,200
not want to miss the opportunity to
remind you that you have the link to

24

32
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,639

33
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,639
podcast that focuses on people who stand
out for being pioneers in technology and how

Today I want to talk to you about

42
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,479
a year of changes, a year
of changes on the platform where this podcast

43
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,560
is hosted, where many others are
also hosted, and it is the Spreaker

44
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,599
platform. A year ago, a
year ago, a little more, a

45
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,360
year and a month ago at the
beginning of March of the two thousand,

46
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:21,240
well two months ago, since we
are in May of the two thousand twenty

47
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,039
- three. The Spreaker platform made
a series of changes that caught us all

48
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,439
a little by surprise. If you
don' t know it, the Spreaker

49
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:36,719
platform is a site where we can
host podcasts, where we can upload our

50
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:43,039
content there and then distribute it to
other entities of our own such as Evoks,

51
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,400
Spotify, Apple, Podcasts including YouTube. Well, a podcast husting for

52
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,800
you to meet. This platform became
quite famous already by two thousand thirteen,

53
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,840
two thousand fourteen when it arrived,
because it gave the possibility and still offers

54
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,400
the possibility to make live podcast,
something to which we are now very used

55
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:01,520
thanks to streaming platforms, as you
said, YouTube, but in this case

56
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:12,159
only for audio format. This caused
a revolution. During the first year there

57
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,680
were hundreds of podcasts performing their live
broadcasts, and I recognize that it has

58
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,959
also crossed my mind. But with
a daily podcast uf UFF is pretty hard.

59
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,600
Well, I don' t rule
it out for a future. This

60
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,720
isn' t what I wanted to
talk to you about. As I was

61
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,360
saying a year ago, this platform, which had always been paid for,

62
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:36,800
had a free version until a year
ago, which allowed you to upload podcast

63
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:41,639
until you reached a limit of twenty
hours, which may seem a lot,

64
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,639
and those who are not recording a
podcast will usually say good me until it

65
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,040
fills twenty hours, but believe me
that the genniis at nothing and the platform

66
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:58,439
itself seems to have noticed this and
released a new free podcast storage option.

67
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Of course, this was all a
revolution, because until now this hosting for

68
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,839
podcast was exclusively paid and to be
able to upload unlimited audios there within a

69
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,759
single podcast, as it was a
pretty juicy novelty, especially since we can

70
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,120
monetize our podcasts there without paying anything. With this new option, the bad

71
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:25,800
thing about this new account is that
you can only have a podcast. But

72
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,000
hey, for the vast majority of
podcast content creators, with a podcast is

73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,959
more than enough. I with the
producer, because I have more than one

74
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,360
and good in my case, because
it still interests me to have the option

75
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,959
of payment, because then it also
unlocks detailed statistics, etcetera, etcetera.

76
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,360
But for the vast majority of mortals, with a single podcast that has no

77
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,000
limit on neither transfer nor storage that
also offers me, I apologize for the

78
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:58,240
possibility of monetizing my content with Spreaker' s automated ads, because hey it

79
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:03,920
' s pretty juicy. As I
was saying, this wasn' t that

80
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,160
first hand. In fact, the
episodes I recorded with this ad were all

81
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:15,279
a little confusing because they advertised this
new mode of free podcast, but they

82
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,160
left the time limit on their own
website, so it didn' t seem

83
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:26,040
like a big change, because if
they kept the limit of twenty hours or

84
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,720
ten hours on podcast, what sense
it made was the same thing they already

85
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,199
offered until they removed that limit.
And now yes, thanks to this new

86
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,240
option, you have an unlimited podcast
within this platform that I already tell you

87
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,560
is very good. At least I
like him a lot. The fact is

88
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,360
that during this last year the platform
has made more changes and has gone,

89
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:58,959
say, taking a course to become
more attractive to other options. See as

90
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,279
Spotify, with its ancor now rebound
as Spotify for Podcaster, which has a

91
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:14,759
free storage now and so multi podcast
so far doesn' t now seem to

92
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:15,759
be starting to open up in this
regard. But well, this is the

93
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,759
subject for another chapter, Evox and
its new premium features and new accommodations and

94
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,399
promotional models and, finally, everything
that Evox offers us and now already for

95
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,439
a year Spreaker. It seems that
good, because if you want to get

96
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:35,959
on this car, not listen or
I offer you the free accommodation and I

97
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:41,399
monetize that accommodation, because thanks to
other options that I offer to you creator

98
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,560
of podcast, in exchange to host
free your podcast, like for example,

99
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,680
something a message that to me very
much caught the attention that is now no

100
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,120
longer available. I wanted to bring
him in. What happens is that this

101
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,800
episode had it pending months ago and
in the end I haven' t been

102
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:03,279
able to. But well, they
offered an extra ten percent to the podcast

103
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,839
creators let' s say they offered
their podcast through their own website or app.

104
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:15,759
I explain, all the winnings that
you earn by inserting ads into your

105
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,920
podcast through spreaker would get an extra
ten percent if the listener or visitor listened

106
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,600
to it within the Xpliaker app or
own Spreaker website And hey you say good,

107
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,439
because today is ten percent more that
I take, finally, if I

108
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:35,360
have thousands of listeners. So,
after all, ten percent more. I

109
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,440
' m pretty juicy about all this. So, logically, so that people

110
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,240
know much more about the app so
that their ads are more visible and,

111
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,000
in addition, they can attract new
podcast creators who say that it is this

112
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,799
platform. I can put ads for
free in my content. Uy uy,

113
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,080
uy, uy much of yours,
as YouTube did years ago, that in

114
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,039
the end has had to put more
demands on all people who want to monetize

115
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,039
videos, as Spotify does with megaphones
and their ads, as Evos does.

116
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,960
In short, each one is showing
his letters and his tools to attract new

117
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,240
podcast creators or new podcast listeners,
so that the app gets bigger and bigger,

118
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:26,200
better known, more attractive, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Another option

119
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,240
that has been activated recently a few
months ago, which is also quite interesting

120
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:41,159
and is the possibility to offer your
community these ads, these chapters, let

121
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,240
' s say private, these premium
episodes. While until now, in Spreaker

122
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,879
you could have premium episodes and offer
them only to the people to whom you

123
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,320
sent the links, you didn'
t have a way to prevent those links

124
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,399
from ending diss attributing and for everyone, in quotation marks, to have access

125
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,840
to your exclusive content. Not Now
Let' s say we have an extra

126
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000
option, an option for all those
people who support you within your community.

127
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,039
Something similar, for example, what
we can get with mammbler or with the

128
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,120
blue button of Evox, something more
interesting still hears another option of monetization within

129
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,240
the platform that offers me the possibility
to host my content there for free good,

130
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,480
as it is one more way that
you have Spreaker, to continue to

131
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:39,000
expand its catalog, to continue making
great Sumarca, et cetera, et cetera,

132
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,720
et cetera, et cetera. But
here we come to the reason why

133
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,240
I have recorded this chapter. I' m recording this better said chapter to

134
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,080
you a few days ago, Carlos
Vités wrote to me on Twitter and told

135
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,200
me listen you have seen this new
change on Spreaker' s website. I

136
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,799
said what a change. I haven' t seen anything. So, visually

137
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,559
we see that Spreaker' s own
website now say in a dark tone.

138
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:11,080
Until now it had always been the
white background with yellow or orange touches and

139
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,360
in this case, on the new
cover or the new website. Spreaker'

140
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,519
s new branding is dark, black, gray, etcetera. Although yellow is

141
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,600
also a predominant color. But the
most radical change is to move from the

142
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,600
clear option to the dark option.
How good this, then, beyond aesthetic

143
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,679
change, because it doesn' t
make much sense. But the strong comes

144
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,679
from the profile page of each of
the podcasts. And it is that they

145
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:45,360
have removed from the profile page itself, for example, on the other side

146
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,279
of the microphone among other podcasts.
You don' t see now the option

147
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,279
to see the fit in the fit
that I used to take to another platform

148
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,679
or podcast application is no longer available, it is no longer in the public

149
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,679
view. I have to offer it. I manually thought it was an option

150
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,639
that we could turn on or off, as it happens, for example,

151
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,039
on the Evox platform or in Spotify, which is seen for everyone. This

152
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,240
is something he was commenting to Carlos
himself, who said that Spotify will have

153
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,399
its mores or less, but he
offers there all the links to the different

154
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,799
platforms and Spreaker has now hidden it. You have only left the links,

155
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,600
in my case, at least link
to my personal twitter, to the podcast

156
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,159
website itself that I have already arranged, by the way, to the other

157
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,679
side of the com microphone and an
email link, which, in my case

158
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,399
is podcast arroba ebs and you will
say, since men are decisions. The

159
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,759
point is, well, they'
re in their full right. Well,

160
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:46,360
I, in my opinion, think
this should be the creator' s own

161
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
decision. After all I' m
paying for an accommodation and I should decide

162
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,480
whether I want to show my feed
publicly or not, that I can leave

163
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:56,480
it anywhere. In fact, it
is on the website of the other side

164
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,120
of the microphone, as you have
it there in sight, next to all

165
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:09,039
the platforms. But let Spreaker go
hiding these little things to say attract people

166
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,559
to listen to the content only on
their website, because that' s how

167
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:16,720
I give you ten percent more profit
today, because that' s how I

168
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:22,240
make people discover me, because that' s how I start to see,

169
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,679
let' s say the chops not
from that big change he offered already a

170
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,399
year ago. And this, which
seems a simple thing, is not really.

171
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:35,360
Here it' s remembered that there' s Germedia behind one of the

172
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:39,559
great digital audio companies around the world
and Spreaker, well, it' s

173
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,799
one more branch within this great company. But of course, seeing Spreaker'

174
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:52,159
s history of changes, they'
re always a little erratic, surprised we

175
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:54,960
don' t know very well where
he' s going to go. Hey,

176
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,039
it' s not like I'
m a big hecatombe all these changes,

177
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,480
but we see a change in trend
and here' s the reason for

178
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,600
the chapter. Before it was a
payment platform which I had absolute control over

179
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,440
everything I did and undone with all
the podcasts that I hosted there. But

180
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,639
now, little by little, we
see that it is not quite like this,

181
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,320
We see that there are changes that
are not consulted, that we do

182
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,960
not have the free choice that I
do pay for hosting the podcast and I

183
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,559
do and undo everything or almost everything
that I want there, but there are

184
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:35,120
changes that should be communicated, especially
to those who are your customers, to

185
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:39,600
those who pay to host our podcasts
there. He hears less than telling us

186
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:43,039
about these changes than maybe informing us
when they are already carried out and everyone

187
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,000
has seen them. But for those
of us who are a little bit attentive

188
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080
to these movements, like Carlos Vités
or myself, who from time to time

189
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,080
come in and say this message of
surprise Ii and this that is here of

190
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,919
the communities. This is better,
because in a corporate email where you report.

191
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,759
Well, man that minimums at least
customers. If we add to this

192
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:07,679
that communication with the platform itself stops
much to be desired, at least in

193
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,600
its assistance in Castellano. Before it
was a pleasure to talk not with Tonio

194
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,279
Amafeo, who was his representative in
Italy and Spain, but with the platform

195
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,559
' s own live chat. And
now it takes you hours to answer,

196
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,639
they send you preferred messages, or
they send you to their question- and

197
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:33,679
- answer website. Anyway, it' s preaker, at least since Ingermedia

198
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:35,879
' s purchase has gone down a
little bit. Quality, in my opinion,

199
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,559
remains a great service. I'
ll keep paying for it for sure.

200
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,639
But if these changes are repeated year
after year, then I will think

201
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:50,399
more and more about it because listen
there is that at last and I end

202
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840
up looking for myself to do it
gladly. But these changes, you hear,

203
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,080
are small notches that stay here in
our revolvers. But, well,

204
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,320
this is my opinion about this last
change of course regarding Spreaker' s last

205
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,799
year and we' ll see you
hear the same thing from the time I

206
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:12,159
' ve recorded this chapter until I
publish it, they inform us again with

207
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,679
another mega bombshell and I don'
t have to re- record, as

208
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,759
happened last time. I hope not
who knows. Who knows we' ll

209
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,519
see in the next installment across the
microphone. Thank you very much for following

210
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:30,720
the other side, p and now
I say goodbye and as every day I

211
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:41,519
return to that place where you are
right now on the other side of the microphone,
