The podcast industry is undergoing a pivotal moment of change. From a period of rapid expansion (including huge bursts of spending and consolidation across mainstay companies) to the new norm of recurring layoffs, this isn’t the podcast industry of years past. So what should you know in order to stay up-to-date and stay ahead?

Introducing Podcast Perspectives, a new weekly podcast focused on discussing ways to build the next generation of podcasting. Produced by the same team behind the Signal Award-winning and critically-acclaimed podcast Missing Pages, Podcast Perspectives features interviews with industry executives and exciting panel discussions with leading producers and editors, publishers and platforms, and those thinking through the problems you haven’t yet considered.

In each episode, host Jeff Umbro, founder and CEO of The Podglomerate, tackles topics like IP and rights issues, ad tech, podcasting’s role in media at-large, and more. Perfect for fans of Recode Media and Podnews, Podcast Perspectives looks at the big picture ideas and future of podcasting, all while covering trending news of the day.

Upcoming episodes include in-depth conversations with audio leaders including…

• Triton Digital SVP Sharon Taylor on the state of podcast tech.
• NHPR’s Director of On Demand Rebecca Lavoie on opportunities for public radio.
• All Things Comedy COO Russell Weissman on operationalizing a podcast network.
