Joe Budden podcast done? No Rory or Mal for 2nd straight episode

A lot of new/recent podcasts are looking for instant gratification and that's just not the way podcasting works. They assume that their following from other platforms will carry over and turn into money, but it's literally building from scratch and playing to another platform's algorithm. Sure having some notoriety will give you an initial leg up but fanbases in the podcast spaces are built on consistency and longevity. Most podcasts don't start seeing real money until around episode 500-600 and beyond. A lot of these people don't even make it to episode 50. And yea overhead counts; if you don't own the space you're paying for studio rental time, you're paying videographers or the studio to film, likely an audio engineer to make sure the audio is good and recording that. Then you're paying editors; cause you need a video edit and an audio edit, more angles mean longer edits. Not only does the main show need to be edited, it has to be clipped up into social media bites. There also needs to be a budget for ad spend to get clips in front of unreached audiences.

So if you're doing this for money and you're starting with no income, it's a money pit until it starts turning a profit, which again could take hundreds of episodes before it makes something helpful. But if you do the shit for the love of doing it, you're not stressing most of that, you'll film wherever's free and not really worry about how shit looks. People tune in cause you're having fun and over time they grow with you and the podcast and it'll snowball organically. A lot of people won't stick it out that long.

These people have millions of followers and can't get them to stream their music. It seems to only translate to athletes and that's mostly based around these gambling companies trying to get everyone addicted.

I remember Joe and Combat Jack both mentioned consistency being key.

I basically have a routine, because I can count on Joe's pod two times a week.

A bunch of these other pods do that season shit which makes no sense. This isn't a TV show.

They go on break for a week, a couple of weeks, a month. That's how I wonder how Mel is going to do. She's half assing it. You might get a pod this week, you might not. That's one problem with interview pods.

And even if you want outside investors they're going to want blah blah episodes a week. If you've never done it before....

One thing I've noticed from following a few of these sports pods is that they will throw up a reaction or a quick vid reacting to something happening. They dont always have to do a formal pod just to get content. It's one thing to do it on instagram or tik tok, but you can also put up something quick, 5-10 mins on yt.

Gil is good at going live. He'll just have him and Josiah.

I'd be highly surprised if Mel's pod is able to reach 200+ episodes. As you stated, her current track record for consistency isn't great and once she runs out of big names to talk to about the same old topics, is her personality enough to retain viewers? I don't see it from my side, but then again I'm not her audience. Time will tell. With the JBP, I'm tuned in for the personalities, I don't really care what the topics are, just hearing these niggas banter is funny as shit most of the time, and informative with the addition of Marc; previously I felt like I knew more about the topics they were speaking on as they brought them up, but Marc brings up some topics that normally would've been looked over. And as much as people hate on Flip, Flip definitely has a lot of funny moments on the pod outside of the moments where he's out of touch with the topic or trying to force a joke that doesn't fly. He brings live/fun energy that's usually not present when he's not there. A lot of these podders can't go the distance, Joe's reaping the benefits of consistency, entertaining personalities, and clippable moments that cause present fans and new audiences to tune in to find out what's really going on.
