#121: There have been SIGNIFICANT changes in our industry this past year.
- A.I. is being added to everything
- Across-the-board price increases on the tools we use
- The loss of Todd Cochrane and Niel Guillarte, plus the separation of some very influential people from the companies they helped build
Our panel of pros reflect on 2025, talk about how A.I. isn't making us undervalued, and we share predictions for Podcast Editors in 2026.
Our conversation with Pam Cameron, Jay Yow, and Chad Parizman highlights the need for podcast producers to adapt - and embrace - changes while maintaining the human touch in our work.
Key takeaways:
- The landscape is changing with the rise of video podcasts
- The industry is seeing a shift towards more professional production standards
- AI has significantly improved post-production workflows
- AI tools can enhance creativity rather than replace it
- The future of podcasting may involve more partnerships with major media companies
- The demand for multi-platform presence is increasing for podcasters
- The podcast community needs to adapt to the changing landscape and embrace new technologies
