Crash Course in Podcasting

Hard-won Podcasting tips, strategies, information and advice, for all independent Show Creators. We endeavour to protect you from the deluge of poor information (and borderline snake-oil) in the Podcasting space, while never holding back helpful advice that could help you make your show even more awesome. We’re Educators first, Paid Service Providers second.

This is also a place where a love for audio isn’t just recognised, but it’s embraced. If you’re looking for a show that loves the spoken-word as much as you do, you might just have found your new favourite Podcast.

Hosted on Captivate

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Captivate to help Crash Course in Podcasting to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Captivate is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: Captivate may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Crash Course in Podcasting may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Crash Course in Podcasting is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
