I don’t understand. Can someone help me make sense of this?
My original podcast ran from 2010-2015, plus two special anniversary releases in 2020 and 2025.
But somehow, Goodpods is saying it’s one of the top Indie Investing podcasts of all time?
My show retired 3 years before the site was created

Most of my friends don't know this, but "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" was not a song by Robert Palmer.
Written by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, it was sung by Cherrelle and entered the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1984.
Palmer released his version in 1986. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Didn%...

It's been over 10 years since I "retired" the Money Plan SOS podcast, and 10% of the audience is still there.
Yesterday, I released an "Anniversary" special episode for a show I started on November 23, 2010 and retired in 2015...
and 125+ people's apps picked it up in the first 24 hours.

I love it! Overcast app’s new update puts a symbol on any episode that appears to be a rerun.
You can see it at the list level, and then again when clicking into the episode.

To celebrate, I'm releasing a special anniversary episode about what it's been like - financially - since my wife & I got married.

12-18% of a podcast recording is C.R.A.P.P. (Crutches, Repeats, Accidents, and Pregnant Pauses)
I have found removing CRAPP shrinks a raw recording down by 12-18% of it's original length.
Are you keeping CRAPP in your show?

Podcast interview tip:
Instead of asking an author why they wrote the book, ask "Who will be helped by this book" or who the book is for.
The listener is more interested to hear what's in it for them than why a person felt the need to put pen-to-paper.

The old Libsyn4 web interface is going away in 2026.
I use Libsyn4 for a couple clients, mostly for the Social Media scheduler (it's faster) and Apple Podcasts Bulk Tag Editor (random reasons). But Libsyn5 has some newer, cooler stuff.
What will you miss from Libsyn4 that Libsyn5 doesn't have?
