Exciting news Blubrry Podcasters! Blubrry is proud to announce the launch of the Blubrry Channel on Roku. The channel is live with 200 shows and we’ll be adding more shows throughout the coming weeks as we qualify your podcasts.
The Roku Digital Video Player offers your shows unprecedented exposure — seen and/or heard directly on your audiences’ television sets. Sit back in your Lazy Boy and watch your favorite video podcast or clean the house and listen to your favorite audio podcast directly through the exclusive Blubrry Channel on Roku.
And, trust us, that’s only the start. This year marks an apex in the evolution of alternative distribution capabilities for RawVoice and our family of podcasting sites. Keep an eye out: We plan to launch other alternative distribution applications in the coming weeks and throughout the year.
Are you ready to Roku? We’re thinking yes! Let us know what you think!
Hey everyone! Heads up! This is a call to action for all of you who are part of our RawVoice community.
In the coming weeks we’ll be making a number of exciting announcements that you’re going to love. During our team’s February meetings we made some radical, strategic decisions that are now in the process of implementation.
We have a bunch of cool stuff coming out that your show will want to be a part of, one being a major redesign to the Blubrry home page. But in order to take full advantage, your Blubrry show profile must be up to date and complete. Log into your account, click “Manage Account,†followed by “Settings†to update your profile.
Here’s how we like it:
If you are a podcaster that mixes audio and video together, we’ll classify your show as a video podcast in our new layout. If you don’t want them combined as video be sure to have two feeds.
For the first time, RawVoice will be taking an active look at shows on our network on a weekly basis and will feature some shows in a special section of the website. Each show in the network will be reviewed in the coming weeks. Make sure yours is in tip-top shape so you have a greater chance at substantially increased exposure.
That’s not all! What we have planned is going to knock your socks off and I can’t wait to tell you more! Don’t miss out. Get your show’s listings squared away now!

We will have a more formal statement with specific data points in day or two, but we wanted to get this information online as soon as possible.

The results of our recent Podcast Consumer Attitudes study, in conjunction with the Association for Downloadable Media, will be presented by Edison Research’s Tom Webster in a webinar on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 3 p.m. EST, 2 p.m. CST and noon PST. The webinar is free but registration is required at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/909488120. Join us!
Shows within the RawVoice family that participated in the survey (as outlined in the November 2009 bulletin) will receive our segment results in the coming weeks.
The results of this groundbreaking look at the attitudes and behaviors of active podcast consumers will include:
We heard from you – a lot – and so we checked it out ourselves: PodBean.com has had service problems for the past couple of days. We understand that those of you hosting your podcasts through PodBean want to get back online, like, now if not sooner, so Blubrry is giving you 30 free days hosting to sort out the situation. Reach us at support@rawvoice.com. Warning, though, once you get a taste of Blubrry, you might not want to go back – and that’s fine with us, too! 
I hate using football terms but Podango podcasters have one last chance to save their show from complete and utter demis.
Podango Podcasters: If you have a copy of your RSS Feed and media, we will setup an FTP account for you to upload your media to host with us.
Our offer of free 30 days of hosting remains even though we cannot fully migrate you directly from Podango.com.
Send email to cio@rawvoice.com if you are willing to up your media and receive 30 days of free hosting.
It is nice to see that Blubrry.com continues to be recognized as a hot destination to find podcast. We think our clean lines and ease to consume and find content is what makes Blubrry.com a very special listener destination. MSN
Why is it that podcasters will spend hours editing the content of their podcast but fail to spend 30 minutes one time to make sure that their RSS feed is setup properly. In some cases I blame whole heartedly the service they are on for hijacking the internal data of their RSS feed and not giving podcasters many choices in configuring them.
But in large part we see huge numbers of shows that have simply failed to put the time into making sure that their RSS feed is representing their show as well as their content.
We see massive numbers of shows rss feeds fail validation each and everyday. We see shows that are whole heartedly missing important data many shows have no description, no keywords, no contact information, no titles, no iTunes specific tags etc. The list goes on and the issue is growing each day.
Every year I have posted a state of the RSS feeds as a report I do for the annual Peoples Choice Podcast Awards. This year I would like to see a trend be reversed and quite honestly it would help us and all of the other sites that are syndicating content.
This Saturday I will be doing a online Tech Podcast Round Table event that will discuss RSS in detail and show you what should be in your rss feed and how taking a few minutes to get it squarred away will pay off big dividends. I hope you will join me.
