00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: It's more than a podcast, it's a podcast network, nineteen

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,160
different podcasts to choose from. For instance, if you like

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,199
taking nice long walks or a jog after work or

4
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:13,080
even before work, and you're wondering about those questions that

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,320
always enter your head and heart but you do nothing

6
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:19,160
about it, maybe what you need is vocal dfrag on

voices in your head. Ero dot net, a r r

10
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:33,600
oe dot net. Enjoy the exploration. My name is Erro,

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,920
host of the weekly podcast Podcrashing and Podcrashing one oh one.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
These episodes connect listeners to podcast specialists around the world.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,320
My goal has always been to inform our podcast community

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,159
with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Now. What

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,560
I've always learned is that podcast hosts are pretty much

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,560
open and always filled with a spirit that spreads their

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,600
skills as journalists, medical specialists, true crime solvers, gamblers, motivators,

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,879
spiritualists and actors with their famous children. I mean, seriously,

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,280
there's a podcast for every subject. This podcast, Podcrashing one

20
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,920
on one, has been around since March of twenty nineteen.

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,519
The original goal was to put focus on helping up

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,519
and coming podcasters to have the right information about hosting

23
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,040
and basically surviving inside the podcast world. That idea went

24
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,920
fifty four episodes before adopting a new plan. Dude, you're

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,519
talking to all of these podcasters, why not include them

26
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:36,519
on podcrashing one on one? The task is to directly

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,599
work one on one with other creative minds. The purpose

28
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:43,560
of Podcrashing one on one is to help you build

29
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,959
your own platform, promote it, and maybe even earn some money.

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,159
Episode number four thirty five. Should there be a rating

31
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:56,599
system for podcasts? Many many inside the industry believe that

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,560
such a rating system could actually make sense, but one exist, Well,

33
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:04,079
it's all based on what problem you're trying to solve here.

34
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,920
One of the goals would be to give new as

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,719
well as old listeners a head start on what's about

36
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,039
to be talked about. Because podcasting is brilliantly free form

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,520
and totally about anything, having a rating system for podcasts

38
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,560
would help them decide if they want to engage in

39
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,199
that actual podcast. A rating system can also keep things

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,319
consistent across all platforms. Why aren't podcasters worried about what

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,199
they say? Well, the platforms are in charge of the

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,319
content and warning system. A standard rating system is said

43
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:39,639
to be something that would make things a little bit

44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,639
more clearer. Now, yes, it would be something that would

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,639
help protect younger listeners, which you can't help but laugh

46
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960
at because ninety nine point nine percent of the time

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,479
it's the younger people that lead the older people to

48
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,960
the podcast discovered. And finally, a rating system would help

49
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:59,439
creators set expectations. It would make the audience a little

50
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:03,120
bit more of a target. Hey, coming up next, Now

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,520
that we've seen that side of why there should be

52
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
a rating system, let's go ahead and jump that fence

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,599
and find out why we shouldn't have a rating system. Hey,

54
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,439
welcome back to podcrashing. One on one. Let's play fair here.

55
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:21,240
We just touched on the subject of a podcast rating system.

56
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,240
Would it be a smooth opportunity to move to the

57
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280
other side of the digital fans? Why wouldn't it be

58
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,680
a great ride if there was a podcast rating system.

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Number One, it will limit creative expression. If a podcaster

60
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,400
catches the scent of being watched, it could actually silence

61
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:44,000
that journey. Number Two, a podcast rating system would be

62
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:47,319
difficult to enforce. I mean, there are a million new

63
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,680
podcast episodes going up every single day. Who volunteers to

64
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,680
be the cop? You know? To play by the ratings rules?

65
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:59,280
Number three a big one the size of the planet,

66
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,199
because I'm really talking about the planet Earth. A podcast

67
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:06,280
rating system would face international differences. What's acceptable here in

68
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,360
the States might cross the line in other nations. Having

69
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,759
a long list of rules and regulations to follow globally

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,720
would face a huge mountain or real inconsistency. Why do

71
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,399
people want a rating system? Well? Explicit language, violence, sensitive topics,

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,279
mental health, true crime, and the infamous adult themes. Where

73
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:30,079
do you stand on this? Would you like to have

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,680
a rating system? Or wouldn't you? I'm Marrow and that's

75
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,079
pod crashing one on one
