Episode Show Notes

“So this definition that we’ve had for many years, that a podcast is only media distributed via an RSS feed, is being broken apart now and being expanded. And a lot of folks in the industry don’t like that.” 

In today’s episode of The Podcast Advertising Playbook, Heather asks the question, “What is a podcast?”

The answer might be more complex than you think. 

Heather is joined by Rob Greenlee, founder of Spoken Life Media. Rob shares his extensive knowledge of podcasting, taking us on a journey from its early days when podcasters were skeptical about the term “podcast” to the current landscape where the definition of podcasting is expanding. 

Tune in to hear:

  • Why some people are hesitant about the changing definition of what counts as a podcast
  • Whether or not “YouTube podcasts” can technically be called a podcast. 
  • How the different metrics on YouTube can impact podcast advertising buys. 


If your podcast is on YouTube, this is not an episode you’ll want to miss.

“Some of the ad loads on some podcasts now are like six and a half minutes, and bam, you’re into another ad. And it drives me insane. I unsubscribe from those shows.
