Speaker 1: It's more than a podcast, it's a podcast network, nineteen
different podcasts to choose from. For instance, if you like
taking nice long walks or a jog after work or
even before work, and you're wondering about those questions that
always enter your head and heart but you do nothing
about it, maybe what you need is vocal dfrag on
erro dot net, a r r oe dot net. Learn
how to vocal dfrag and put some silence in those
voices in your head. Ero dot net, a r r
oe dot net. Enjoy the exploration. My name is Erro,
host of the weekly podcast Podcrashing and Podcrashing one oh one.
These episodes connect listeners to podcast specialists around the world.
My goal has always been to inform our podcast community
with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Now. What
I've always learned is that podcast hosts are pretty much
open and always filled with a spirit that spreads their
skills as journalists, medical specialists, true crime solvers, gamblers, motivators,
spiritualists and actors with their famous children. I mean, seriously,
there's a podcast for every subject. This podcast, Podcrashing one
on one, has been around since March of twenty nineteen.
The original goal was to put focus on helping up
and coming podcasters to have the right information about hosting
and basically surviving inside the podcast world. That idea went
fifty four episodes before adopting a new plan. Dude, you're
talking to all of these podcasters, why not include them
on podcrashing one on one? The task is to directly
work one on one with other creative minds. The purpose
of Podcrashing one on one is to help you build
your own platform, promote it, and maybe even earn some money.
Episode number four thirty five. Should there be a rating
system for podcasts? Many many inside the industry believe that
such a rating system could actually make sense, but one exist, Well,
it's all based on what problem you're trying to solve here.
One of the goals would be to give new as
well as old listeners a head start on what's about
to be talked about. Because podcasting is brilliantly free form
and totally about anything, having a rating system for podcasts
would help them decide if they want to engage in
that actual podcast. A rating system can also keep things
consistent across all platforms. Why aren't podcasters worried about what
they say? Well, the platforms are in charge of the
content and warning system. A standard rating system is said
to be something that would make things a little bit
more clearer. Now, yes, it would be something that would
help protect younger listeners, which you can't help but laugh
at because ninety nine point nine percent of the time
it's the younger people that lead the older people to
the podcast discovered. And finally, a rating system would help
creators set expectations. It would make the audience a little
bit more of a target. Hey, coming up next, Now
that we've seen that side of why there should be
a rating system, let's go ahead and jump that fence
and find out why we shouldn't have a rating system. Hey,
welcome back to podcrashing. One on one. Let's play fair here.
We just touched on the subject of a podcast rating system.
Would it be a smooth opportunity to move to the
other side of the digital fans? Why wouldn't it be
a great ride if there was a podcast rating system.
Number One, it will limit creative expression. If a podcaster
catches the scent of being watched, it could actually silence
that journey. Number Two, a podcast rating system would be
difficult to enforce. I mean, there are a million new
podcast episodes going up every single day. Who volunteers to
be the cop? You know? To play by the ratings rules?
Number three a big one the size of the planet,
because I'm really talking about the planet Earth. A podcast
rating system would face international differences. What's acceptable here in
the States might cross the line in other nations. Having
a long list of rules and regulations to follow globally
would face a huge mountain or real inconsistency. Why do
people want a rating system? Well? Explicit language, violence, sensitive topics,
mental health, true crime, and the infamous adult themes. Where
do you stand on this? Would you like to have
a rating system? Or wouldn't you? I'm Marrow and that's
pod crashing one on one
