- Hive Cast
- Hey guys, been listening to you for the first time today. Luvin yer show. Referred to you by "Byron TGIF" in Hollywood. I live down here in Acapulco now.
- Anyway, I built Hive-Tube. It does audios, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, music, livestreams, movies and more plus it uses activitypub and the Hive blockchain of course for user commenting, upvoting, tipping, even automated recurring tips (my patreon-killer).
- Would be cool to cast with u guys sometime if ur interested. Here's the info site for hive-tube:
- I want to put live online radio stations onto Hive-Tube next so that individual songs can be upvoted, bands get a real reputation score from the hive chain, stats can't be faked (fuk Billboard), trending is actually trending, the artists can get passive income for life, etc.
- There's hundreds of instances installing hive-tube every week now so it is goin good so far, just need to let the world at large know about it and say adios to google podcasts, spotify, netflix, youtube, etc.
- Thanx for the read guys, would love to work with you on stuff :)
- Spotify Exec Dawn Ostroff on Joe Rogan, Meghan, Podcast Cancelations - Variety
- Still, Spotify so far hasn’t seen a financial payback on the podcast play. In 2021, the company’s podcast business generated nearly €200 million in revenue, up 300% year over year, CFO Paul Vogel said at the streamer’s investor day presentation in June. But the podcast segment had a negative gross margin of -57%, according to Vogel — and he said the losses were projected to be even higher in 2022, when Spotify anticipates the red ink to peak. Within the next five years, Spotify believes podcasts can achieve potential gross margins of 40%-50% within the next five years — even higher than its 30%-35% gross margin target for music.
- Ostroff, without commenting on specific podcast financials, said, “Obviously podcasting for us is still a new business. It’s still an investment business.”
- In looking to bulk up its ad revenue, Spotify continues to pitch Madison Avenue on the unique attributes of its listening platform, including its Streaming Ad Insertion (SAI) technology. When Spotify first entered podcasting, marketers had not embraced it as a “general advertising medium,” Ostroff said. The company recently commissioned a study from neuro-marketing firm Neuro-Insight for what Spotify said is the largest audio study of its kind. According to the Neuro-Insight study, which tracked the brain activity of users to measure engagement, Spotify audio outperformed other media including traditional radio (34% higher engagement), social media (+27%), TV (+23%) and digital video (+9%).
- Meanwhile, Ostroff sees a “huge opportunity” to increase engagement with podcasts through video versions of its shows. She said Alex Cooper wanted to do more video for “Call Her Daddy” (previously produced by Barstool Sports) with guests including Hailey Bieber and Julia Fox — and, according to Ostroff, her shows with video have delivered twice the audience compared with those that are audio-only.
- “Obviously, we’ve learned so much over the past three years,” Ostroff said. “And we have more coming down the pike.”
