In the final “Pardon the Marketing” episode of the Content Experience Show, podcasting pros Randy Frisch and Anna Hrach trade takes on podcasting trends.

What Podcasting Pros Want from Their Podcasts

How Two Podcasting Pros Consume Podcasts

We’ve got good news and bad news. The Content Experience Show, sadly, is nearing its final few episodes. The good news is that Randy and Anna have teamed up to bring you one final “Pardon the Marketing” installment before signing off.
In this special episode, Randy and Anna challenge each other to answer tough questions on content marketing before the buzzer runs out. This round’s theme gets a bit meta: podcasting. And despite being co-hosts of a podcast themselves, Randy and Anna see eye-to-eye less often than you think.
Theorizing about what podcast consumers enjoy is one thing; hearing what two podcasting pros actually enjoy is another thing entirely. You’ll hear their takes on topics like episode length, listening style, fiction versus non-fiction podcasts, the right way to braid paid sponsorships into your audio, the appeal of guest-centric versus host-only shows, and lots more. And be sure to chime in on social using #pardonthemarketing!

In This Episode

  • The merits of both short- and long-form podcasts.
  • Why some podcast listeners subscribe and commit, while others browse for one-off episodes every time they tune in.
  • When, where, and how Randy and Anna listen to podcasts.
  • Why some listeners prefer guest-centric podcasts versus podcasts focused on recurring hosts.
  • Why advertising in podcasting might not feel as annoying to your listeners as you might think.
  • A peek at what’s next for Randy and Anna.

Randy

Welcome to the Content Experience Podcast. I’m Randy Frisch. Anna, who’s going to tell them the tough news here? Who’s going to tell all of our loyal listeners? We’re now like 220-plus episodes in, is it going to be you or is it going to be me? Who’s going to share this tough blow?

Anna

Not it.

Randy

Not it. That’s fair. That’s fair. All right. Why don’t we break the news to them together? So this podcast has been something really special for me. This is not the end, but this is the beginning of a wind down of this podcast, and something that I’m extremely … I think probably both of us are very grateful to Jay Baer for this opportunity, because Jay called me and said, “We need someone to continue this podcast after the first 12 episodes,” with the idea that there would be many more to come. There’s been over 200 more since then. And over that time, I’ve gone to speak to amazing marketers, learned so much, and have amazing co-hosts, including most recently yourself over the last year and a half?

Anna

Yeah, a year and a half now. Yeah. Ditto. I mean, so incredibly grateful to Jay. I mean obviously I get to work with Jay on a pretty much daily basis, but I remember I was a guest like two years ago, and it was so much fun. This, fun fact, was the first podcast I had ever done as a guest. And then it was so much fun. And then there was an opening, and Jay had mentioned that basically I’d be filling the seat as co-host, and I wish that there was video for how high I was jumping that day, because this has literally been some of the most fun I’ve had over the last year and a half. So it is insanely bittersweet.

Randy

Listen, even Friends came to an end, even Friends came to an end. The Office came to an end. All great things have their final episode. This is not that final episode.

Anna

No.

Randy

We have three more after this, I believe?

Anna

We do. We have three more amazing episodes left. So, this is a little bit of fun.

Randy

But this is the last version of Pardon the Marketing, which is something we started about a year ago maybe?

Anna

Yeah. You had this great idea to just jump on. Actually, it was sort of out of necessity. A guest bailed on us that day-

Randy

It’s true.

Anna

… at the super last minute, and we obviously have to meet a recording schedule, and Randy had this great idea.

Randy

Yeah. So we decided that we would go back to back on a, timer very much like you see on Pardon the Interruption, which is the show I think on ESPN, and it’s done in a fun way with the timer countdown. We’ve done it on a timer. It’s very low budget, but it’s made it through.

Randy

And let’s roll the last episode of Pardon the Marketing together. Here we go, Anna.

Anna

But not the last episode of Con Ex.

Randy

Not the last episode of Con Ex.

Anna

Yeah.

Randy

There’s more to come, with a big conference to come too.

Anna

Yes, yes.

Randy

So lots more to come, and we will hear now the top, I think about 10 hot topics around the idea of podcasts, a meta episode for you.

Randy

Welcome to the Content Experience Show. This is a special edition, Anna. You know what it’s called, it’s called Pardon the Marketing. We ripped this off from ESPN, and the good news is this is the last version we’re doing this. So if they come sue us, there’s only so many that we’ve done, right?

Randy

All right. Who’s going first here? Should we remind everyone the rules in case they haven’t listened before?

Anna

Yeah, absolutely. So I mean, we each basically get a subject, and we get two minutes to talk about the subject each. The other person can chime in if they like, but basically we flip flop back and forth. We give our thoughts on the very specific topic. And Randy, today’s topic is …

Randy

Podcasts. It is our last … We’re in the stretch run of the final episodes of the Con Ex Podcast, so we figured only right that we talk about podcasts. And with that in mind, let’s hit the first topic. Do you have the high tech buzzer that we did not invest in yet?

Anna

I do. I totally have the high tech buzzer. It’s called my iPhone set to a two-minute timer.

Randy

Amazing. Amazing. I can’t wait to see what type of notification tone you’ve chosen. All right. You want to hit me first?

Anna

Absolutely. All right Randy, so you have two minutes. The subject is podcast, and what I want to know is do you prefer short form or long form podcast? So basically super short 20-minute podcasts or two and a half-hour podcasts?

Randy

So I think I would have historically told you the answer is short, because my life, I just don’t have these long breaks to sit there and listen to a podcast. And as a result, I want those short bits of information that I can listen to on the fly. That said, I’ll tell you right now, my wife, and I on our long drives, because we’re in the summer, we’ll drive up to a cottage or something like that, we’ve been listening to some longer podcasts. Loving the latest Conan podcasts. Have you listened to them?

Anna

Ooh. A little bit.

Randy

It’s Conan interviewing these really interesting people. The last one we listened to is Howard Stern. I think it was like a 90-minute interview, just him and Howard Stern. But it’s because Conan and some of these other people are such great interviewers, that they can carry something on for that type of distance.

Randy

But generally I think when I’m looking for subject expertise, you know, my wife probably isn’t going to listen with me, and in those cases I’m probably looking for something under 30 minutes. How about you?

Anna

You know what is so annoying is how much we agree with each other. Annoying in the best way possible. But yeah, if I’m looking for information and I need to know something, I want it to be like 25, 30 minutes. It has to be pretty quick and to the point.

Anna

But we are getting into, my husband and I are getting back into half marathon training, and I love long podcasts, like two and a half hour long podcasts, because there’s only so much music you can really listen to when you’re running. And it’s nice to have that conversation to either distract you or just to focus on, or you get to learn really cool things and have dedicated time to do it, because how often do you actually have two hours to just focus on one thing? But yeah, same thing, if I am listening while I’m not running, I’ll have to break up the episodes. But I actually pretty much like both. I don’t know if that’s a cop-out or a cheat on the response, but-

Randy

This is the balance [inaudible 00:06:46] on that balance. We’re on the timer.

Randy

All right, so we’re on to our next timer. This time you get two minutes, Anna. Our next topic kind of relates to the previous one because we’ve got to find balance. Do you subscribe or do you search for something as a one-off or kind of go back and search for that content that you love?

Anna

I’m mainly a subscriber. I have a few really dedicated podcasts that I listen to that I love, and I actually check in every week, or kind of binge them if I’ve lapsed behind.

Anna

One of my favorites is My Favorite Murder. People are going to think I’m a psycho now, but it’s actually one of the most popular podcasts out there. So hopefully we have other Murderenos who listen to us as well.

Anna

But yeah, I’m a subscriber. Every once in a while I’ll look for, like if I need some specific information I’ll look for something, but I like my kind of tried and true favorites. What about you, Randy?

Randy

Interesting. I’ll be honest, I’m not a subscriber. I’m more of a search for something depending on the mood that I’m in. And sometimes I get overwhelmed when I’m subscribing to too many things, even on Netflix, when I start favoriting all these things, and then I’m like, “Oh my God, I don’t want to watch all of that actual TV.” That just seems depressing to me to prioritize all these things.

Randy

And I guess because my podcasts are obviously a mix, I told you I listen to Conan, obviously not necessarily going to expand my professional career that way, but I think that that mindset for me is more of let it be a guilty pleasure still.

Anna

Yeah, I could, I could see that, for sure. I do get overwhelmed as well. I will subscribe to like five podcasts and then realize that I’m not even listening to them, basically I get that sort of like, “Hey, are you still interested in subscribing? If so, we’ll keep downloading them for you. But basically this is a waste of space on your phone.”

Anna

And so, yeah, I do the same thing, where I subscribe to a swath of podcasts, and then I end up taking myself off because I just … It’s a lot of time. It’s a lot of dedicated time. Agreed.

Randy

Absolutely, absolutely. Look at this, we are very rarely not cut off by a timer on this show, but this is one of the times where I think we’re ready to roll to the next topic. Is it like a countdown of five, four, three, two…

Anna

Look at that.

Randy

Just for the record, Anna’s got the timer, and I was just feeling it. I was just feeling it. Okay. I’m up next, right? Are you going to hit me with something?

Anna

Yes. All right. So you kind of already alluded to this one, but let’s go ahead and go with: Do you prefer fiction based podcasts or non-fiction based podcasts? So do you love the stories and the storytelling or do you like the real life, sort of newsy documentary style?

Randy

Okay. So on this one, let’s do this as a special. Give me 60 seconds, because then I’m going to follow up with a related follow-up one. So give me 60 seconds on the clock here.

Randy

So I still, and maybe this is because … People are going to look at me and say, “Well, you’re not listening to the right podcasts,” but I need all my senses going for out-of-reality. Right? When I watch Stranger Things on Netflix, I am in a different world, because it’s the sound, it’s the visuals, it’s everything that they do. And I feel like I need that with my podcast.

Randy

So I am definitely the type of person who’s going to listen to a podcast that’s going to be more informative. It’s going to give me facts, where I’m going to listen, I’m going to listen to opinion, I’m going to listen to editorial. But I don’t really like to go into this fantasy world when I’m listening to a podcast. How about you on that one?

Anna

Yeah, I think I like the more real life, because My Favorite Murder, Last Podcast on the Left, they’re all mostly sort of reality based things. I tried to get into Lore, I don’t listen to it as much as … Oh, look at that.

Randy

Oh, that was 60 seconds, because I only gave you 60. But you get to keep going here because the related topic, this is why I split this one up, is: Are the podcasts you’re listening to more often for work or for pleasure?

Anna

Ooh, okay. So…

Randy

This is similar to that fiction or non-fiction, but are you looking for fun, or are you looking for education?

Anna

Fun. I need, yeah … Well, but then sometimes when I’m really stuck on something or if I look something up, it’s … You know what it is, I subscribe to fun, I search for work or productivity things. It’s always a very specific intent in mind. So a little bit of both, but subscribing is definitely fun. But what about you? I mean, you already kind of alluded it’s fun.

Randy

You know what, to be honest, I would say that when I’m with my wife, if we’re listening to something together, it’s more for fun, you know, like the Conan one, I gave that example, is definitely for fun. When I’m on my own I … And it’s funny, even when I go on vacation, my wife has this fun book, and I’ve got this, you know, How To Succeed In The Tech Startup World, right? She’s like, “Can you not just take a break?” And I just, I always am just trying to advance a little bit in terms of knowledge.

Randy

So I felt the buzzer go there. We’re actually, we’ve got a number of more hot topics on podcasting. What we’re going to do first, we’re going to take a short break here on the podcast. We’ll hear from some of our sponsors who are sponsoring podcasts, and then we will be right back.

Anna

Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Content Experience Show Podcast. This is a very meta episode, so as you already know, we are playing our final version of Pardon the Marketing, and now it’s Randy’s turn. So we are back, and let’s get even more meta.

Anna

So Randy, you have two minutes, and I would like to hear your thoughts on podcast sponsors.

Randy

Oh, you mean like the sponsors that we just heard from in the middle there that completely broke up the show?

Anna

Exactly.

Randy

Those ones, those ones, right. Yeah, it’s tricky. I don’t know what the right answer is, right? And I think about this outside of podcasts sometimes. When I go to movie theaters, I hate sitting through the advertisements before the movie starts, right? Like-

Anna

What about the trailers though?

Randy

Well, the trailers I love.

Anna

Okay.

Randy

Right? I mean, if the ad was for another podcast, then I’d find it interesting, right? Then you’re all of a sudden advertising for one podcast after another.

Randy

I think I’m still more at the point where I’m interested in the way we do it, Anna, like where we have the sponsor in the middle breaking up the podcast, for one reason. It kind of helps break up that show a bit, and it also gives an opportunity for the listener to decide, “Do I want to come back after this sponsor?” So it gives them an understanding that we’re taking a bit of a break, “Do I want to continue?” So there’s definitely a risk there, but I think as long as you line up with a good cliffhanger, as long as the conversation is great.

Randy

How about you? Where do you like your PR?

Anna

I mean, honestly, I think it’s just my advertising background, but I am completely in a lot of ways tolerant to the fact that most of our entertainment world runs on advertising. So for example, we wouldn’t have TV without commercials, because that’s how things get sponsored.

Anna

So I actually really don’t mind sponsorship. There’s a lot of time and effort that people don’t see that goes into creating a podcast. I mean, editing alone is hours of work. Recording is hours of work. So it’s just nice to have sponsors behind that and help back it and help support it.

Anna

The only thing I will say though is I feel like every podcast is sponsored by MeUndies, like every single podcast. I-

Randy

They’re a very broad target market.

Anna

Yes. I mean, to be fair, everybody, sort of. And then, I feel like …

Randy

Aw, we’re going to have to hold off on that. Cut by the buzzer. But I’ll let you keep going on a different topic here. This is one where I won’t take any offense depending on your answer, but: Do you enjoy podcasts with amazing guests, or just the host?

Anna

Ooh, okay. I think it depends.

Randy

Who do you like to hear from? Do you love those ones where there’s this dynamic, amazing host who’s carrying the show, or do you need that balance I guess?

Anna

I think it depends on the subject matter, honestly. Because obviously the Content Experience Show is guest-based, where we have someone on every week, and we get to hear cool new things, and talk about things, and have discussions. And it really opens up this whole world of topics that we can talk about. And so, I love that format when people can actually come in and contribute to the conversation.

Anna

But I’m also a big fan of host only shows, when appropriate. So, and again, not to keep bringing it up, but My Favorite Murder is typically a single … or it just has the two hosts and they go back and forth. But then there’s also another series that I love called Terrible, Thanks For Asking where they hear from people, or even This American Life has guests on and you hear from people. So I really think it depends on the subject and the format and kind of what you’re talking about.

Randy

Nice. Well, listen, as people are listening to this podcast on their devices, you can play along with this game by the way, if you don’t remember from previous episodes. On any of these questions, just use the hashtag, and let us know what your preference is on each of these topics. The last one being: Do you like hosts like Anna and myself, or do you like hearing from amazing guests? We hope you like a balance of both on this show.

Anna

What do you like though? You haven’t answered yet.

Randy

So for me, I would say that I tune in for the guest. When I tune into a podcast, as I said, a lot of them I’m looking for editorial based or interest based. And I very much choose the podcasts I listen to depending on who that guest might be. So yeah, that’s definitely going to weigh in for my overall decision. And there you go.

Randy

All right. Who’s up next? I can’t even keep track here.

Anna

It’s over to you. So you get two minutes to-

Randy

Okay, hit me.

Anna

All right. Your favorite podcast player, so where are you actually listening to, what platform? And on what device?

Randy

Okay, sure, sure. So I would say, first off, I’m generally listening on my iPhone with my ear buds, on the go. If I’m in the car actually, then I’m obviously just using the Bluetooth to hook it up, because I do listen to a lot of podcasts on longer drives.

Randy

In terms of player, I recently switched over to Spotify.

Anna

Interesting.

Randy

And you know what, first off, I found iTunes just very bulky and not easy to navigate and easy to understand what’s coming up next and everything like that. I toyed around with Stitcher a bit, just couldn’t fall in love with it, even though I thought it was nicer than iTunes, to be honest. But it just felt like another app that I needed, and I’m already using Spotify for so much.

Randy

So one of the things that I now love is I have the Apple Card Play in my car, where my phone is connected, I can toggle over to Spotify. And what I love there is they’re making recommendations for me on the fly that are not just my music now, but also Spotify … Sorry, that are also podcasts. That’s what I love is, is when I’m trying to think what content I want next, Spotify can recommend songs for me, you know, sometimes songs that my kids are listening to, which is frustrating, or ultimately some sort of interesting podcast.

Randy

How about you? What’s your player?

Anna

Man, I’m sorry, I am totally, not to be in the cult of Apple, but everything I own is Apple, and it all integrates really well. But I will say that Apple does not integrate with other things. So I’ve listened to the Podcast App through Sonos, and it just doesn’t work. It doesn’t like it. It cuts it off. It does weird things. But I like that you’re just listening to podcasts, and then baby shark will jump on your speakers. That visual is kind of giving me a laugh.

Randy

That’s a fun way to end it. That’s a fun way to end it. All right. I am back at you for the next few minutes. And I’m going to ask I guess two questions in one. I’m going to give you time to hit on both of these.

Randy

First is: When are you listening to podcasts most often? I already hinted at my answer, being in cars very often. And then the interesting part I think is: What is your default podcast speed? And if people don’t know what I’m talking about when I say podcast speed, it’s like you can change the voice to go 1.0 or 1.2 or 1.5. And I think you’ve even goes up to 2x.

Anna

Yeah, I’m a total normal speed listener. I’m not sure why, I haven’t played around with the speed settings. But I am most frequently listening to podcasts when I cannot do anything else, or I’m doing some sort of monotonous or repetitive tasks. So for example, as I mentioned earlier, I usually listen to it when I’m running or training for the half marathon, or I’m folding laundry on a Sunday night, or even cooking sometimes, things where I can’t do other things, or they don’t require a lot of my attention.

Anna

I cannot for the life of me listen to podcasts and work at the same time. I don’t know how anybody does. Maybe it’s because I work with words and I’m typically reading a lot or I’m doing strategy, but it boggles my mind, and it jumbles everything up, and I it I can’t concentrate.

Randy

I’m the same.

Anna

Oh, good.

Randy

I’m the same. Don’t apologize. Even television, I can’t multitask.

Anna

No.

Randy

Yeah. I need to be into my show.

Anna

Yeah. So okay, what’s-

Randy

Not my work.

Anna

You mentioned, so you do a different speed, or you do normal speed?

Randy

I do not do normal. I always like to listen to normal, just so I understand what their voice would normally sound like, so I’ll give them 10 seconds in normal, but I’m a 1.2. I find 1.5 is too fast, some of the words get jumbled. But 1.2, it gets to a point where it just sounds like that’s what they probably sound like, and at the same time, I’m just much more content, so that I don’t get cut off by a buzzer. Right?

Anna

I know, right? Yeah. That buzzer would be like half a second, if you were listening to this on 1.2.

Randy

All right, we got two more here. We’ve got two more. We’re going to fly through these. Let’s go with this one. This is a fun one. So the future of podcasts, in your mind, are they audio only, or will there be a video component that returns?

Anna

Okay. I mean, I think it depends. I feel like if you’re listening to … I mean, I know some do both. This is kind of the one that stumped me. Way to go, Randy. I thought I had an answer, and then I didn’t. I mean, there are some podcasts that do both, right? A lot of them will publish the audio on audio platforms and then you can go on YouTube and watch the full video. I think Marc Maron’s show does this, I think the Joe Rogan show does this as well. You know, you kind of get a choice. And I kind of like that. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Randy

No, it’s fair. I mean, what’s interesting, people listening to this podcast may not know that we used to use an audio-only solution to record, which was Zencaster, which is a great solution. But we actually switched to Zoom, and I think the biggest reason we stuck with Zoom was the fact that we have a video feed going where we can see each other.

Randy

And I think, in that, we get so much facial expression, you get to know us a little bit better. We get to know each other better. And I sometimes feel like, if we released the video component in addition to the audio, people would get to know us better. They’d build that better bond.

Anna

Sure.

Randy

And you see that more and more these days, to your point. There’s a sports show that I listen to all the time, and it’s like sports radio, but it’s kind of podcast-like, and you can also watch it on television, and all they’re doing is filming them in that studio doing the same talk that you’re hearing on the audio component.

Randy

So I think that we will get to a point where you’ll start to see those two worlds collide more and more.

Anna

Yeah. I mean, Social Pros does this. I mean, you can frequently see everybody talking, and they publish the video. And so, yeah, I actually agree with you. I think we’ll get more and more to a video-based podcast solution.

Randy

There we go. We got time for one more question. And we planted this one. Who’s, who’s going first? I think it’s on me, right?

Anna

This is over to you. So I’ll ask you first. All right, Randy, so in two minutes, what are you doing after this? There’s no more Content Experience Show in just a few episodes. We got like three more here. So what’s next?

Randy

That’s a great question. So this has been, I don’t even know how many podcasts, I got to do the actual count of how many I’ve done, I think I’m nearing 200, 300-

Anna

A lot.

Randy

… something like that. So I am not stopping this because of a lack of love for podcasts. I learned a lot from these podcasts myself.

Randy

My new podcast, you know, still in the works, from a working title perspective, is going to be called The Marketer’s Journey. And I’m going to be speaking to marketers in senior roles along their career, and helping listeners understand how they got there, what they did in university to study, what their first job looked like, how they feel they got their first break, and really, understanding how they got to a director, VP, or C level role. The second half of the show will dive back into this journey that we’re putting our audiences on. And what does the marketer consider the best marketing journey these days?

Randy

So that’s what I got cooking. What do you got cooking, Anna?

Anna

Well, first, I’m really excited about that. I think that’s going to be super interesting. I feel like, especially stories, everybody loves to hear backgrounds and stories, and I mean, some people took really wild paths to get to where they are, which I think is super fascinating.

Anna

As far as I go, there’s still some planning, and some scheming. I think I would love to continue podcasting. This show has been one of the most amazing joys of the last year and a half that I have been able to join you, Randy. So thank you for having me here as your co-host on a weekly basis.

Anna

But I think I started off as a content creator. I still create content. So I think it might be a little bit closer to content, which I think would be great because people can then subscribe to both, and they won’t conflict. So it’ll be great.

Randy

Absolutely. A little bit of each, get a little bit of each of us.

Anna

Exactly. They get the whole shabang.

Randy

Well, listen, one thing that we are very good at, Anna, is coming up with different podcast formats. I think this format alone, in terms of Pardon the Marketing, ended up being something I just had fun with. I got a lot of comments from people listening saying they love this format. Some people have asked me why we didn’t just switch completely to this format, but we’ll leave that for someone else to pick up the rights to Pardon the Marketing from us, right? and then ESPN can go sue them.

Anna

Yes. Well, they’ll take that off of us and put it on somebody else. That sounds good to me.
