You might send out a nerd alert when you think about the host of a technology podcast. In the case of the Podcasting Tech Podcast and creator / host Mathew Passy you'd be totally wrong. First, Passy is just as comfortable in front of the mic as he is behind the scenes with the equipment. He is articulate, funny, engaging, and incisive.
Second, Mathew Passy is also a gearhead, and is Stephen Hawking level-knowledgeable about podcasting, and audio / video technology.
Podcasting Tech may be one of the best shows about podcasting technology, trends, and optimizing your podcast.
For example, a recent show with guest Pat Cheung, the founder of Fanlist, formerly known as PodInbox, explored the evolution of his company and its potential to transform a podcast.Fanlist simplifies the process for podcasters to effortlessly receive audio messages from their fans -- an excellent monetizing tool.
In this episode, Passy says: "We explore the inspiration behind Fanlist's creation, its evolution over time, and the game-changing features it offers podcasters looking for stronger connections with their audiences. Podcasters seeking to enhance fan engagement and discover fresh avenues for community interaction should tune in to this captivating episode."
In another recent episode, Robert Tuchman, co-founder of Amaze Media Labs, has developed an incredibly innovative way to connect with global audiences and unlock the potential of your podcast, Trailergram. In the episode, guest and host agree that discoverability and building an audience are the universal problems every podcaster faces. Traditional ads just fall short in podcast promotion because they miss the most important component - the ability to listen.
They discuss the Trailergram platform, how it works, and why it’s a unique and potentially most effective way to get a podcaster's show in front of your target audience at a large scale.

Mathew Passy reached out to me after the announcement of the Ear Worthy Independent Podcast Awards early in July to discuss the awards on his show, Podcasting Tech. I showed up on the morning of July 22 at Suite Recording in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, about 10 miles east of Philadelphia.
