We love our home in Alaska and, while our immediate area thankfully is safe, some very close areas where we have good friends, know and support fellow business owners, and love to recreate in our amazing off time in the Last Frontier are under a tsunami watch right now after a big earthquake hit deep under the ocean, only a couple hundred miles away.

Say a prayer, light a candle, etc please for the good folks of the Kenai Peninsula, Kodiak, and other communities where we spend so much time! Hopefully all is good down there!

➡️ The Alaska Department of Fish and Game offices in Homer, Soldotna, and Kodiak are temporarily closed due to concerns over a tsunami warning issued by the National Weather Service: https://www.weather.gov/arh/ .

Permits and licenses can be obtained through the ADF&G Store at www.adfg.alaska.gov/store .

Please contact the ADF&G office in Anchorage with any questions. 907-267-2218.

Stay tuned for updates.

We appreciate your understanding.

While we've historically not been huge fans of Instagram for podcasters. And face it: reels are cool, but that's because they're good social content, not lead ins to listeners. The pathway BACK from social to podcasts kinda sucks(ed)... until now?

IG just became a search engine player — and it’s (pretty) big news for podcasters (and other creators).

TL;DR? Instagram posts are now officially indexed by Google. Meaning:
✅ Reels
✅ Carousels
✅ Captions
✅ Alt-text
✅ Hashtags

…all have the potential to show up in organic search results.

This isn’t just random posts slipping into Google like before — Meta is intentionally opening the gates to make Instagram content searchable at scale.

Learn why this matters for a PODCAST and what to do about it in this week's The Podcast Tech Stack!

Instagram officially opened the doors for Google to index content from public professional accounts. That means your Reels, carousels, single-image posts, alt-text, and captions can appear...

🎧 What separates an amateur podcast from a chart-topper?

I sat down with former Podcast Editor of the Year 🎙️ Lochlainn Harte to find out.

He’s cut everything from narrative hits to global interview shows—and he shared the exact tools, workflow, and mindset that help podcasters sound pro, even on a budget.

🔑 Key takeaways:
> The DAW he swears by (hint: it’s NOT Adobe)
> How to structure your edit like a story, not a slog
> Why clarity > compression
> The most underrated $100 upgrade for your setup

If you're producing a podcast—or thinking about outsourcing—this interview is a goldmine.

Big news!

Trout Stream Studios was honored to work with Field & Stream to develop and launch their new flagship podcast, Legends Of The Wild, with host Sam Soholt.

There is much more to come from the budding Field & Stream Podcast Network, but helping launch them into the audio space has been tremendously meaningful to me - as I've read their magazines since being a young buck myself.

Give it a follow and/or rate and review (and drop a comment on Spotify) if you get the chance! Would be tremendously appreciated:

Legends of the Wild takes you into the heart of the outdoors. Hosted by conservationist, outdoorsman, and storyteller Sam Soholt, this Field & Stream original podcast shares epic adventures, unforgettable hunting and fishing stories, and candid conversations with legendary figures from across th...

Does your podcast need a website? C'mon guys. It's not a legitimate question. The question is WHAT KIND of website and how does it serve your purposes.

In our latest The Podcast Tech Stack interview, we sat down with Podpage founder Brenden Mulligan and podcast legend (and Podpage's head of podcasting) Dave Jackson to talk about why.

💡 We covered:
➡️ Why every podcaster needs an SEO-optimized hub as the "front door" of their podcast
➡️ The #1 mistake most shows make with web presence
➡️ How Podpage auto-generates pages, show notes, & guest bios - and some use cases for this incredible tool (along with a special link to support the newsletter AND get your podcast newsletter!)
➡️ What features are coming next for serious creators

If you’re serious about growth, discoverability, and looking to get in front of sponsors — this one’s for you.

The growth-to-revenue pipeline in podcasting is, if not broken, definitely severely underfunded and underutilized — and Adam McNeil is on the front lines fixing it by connecting strong brands with strong storytellers and engaged audiences..

As SVP of Client Services at ADOPTER Media, A Podcast Advertising Agency, Adam’s job is to help brands buy smarter and help podcasters sell better.

In our latest interview for The Podcast Tech Stack, we dig into:
🎯 Why growth is the missing link to monetization
📊 What attribution tech actually matters
🔥 The trend lines brands are watching
🚀 How better measurement = bigger ad dollars

If you’re trying to scale your show and make money doing it, this is a must-read.

Monetization is often the holy grail—and measurement is the key that unlocks it.

“The wildlife and its habitat cannot speak, so we must and we will.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Wild places don’t get second chances.
Once they’re gone—paved, sold off, or stripped—they don’t come back.

TR understood that true freedom lives in the wild. And he made it our duty to protect it.

📍Keep it wild. Keep it free.
For the next generation of hunters, anglers, and those who love to spend time in the outdoors. Speak up. Let your voice be heard.

Beers, pizza, and podcast SEO secrets in the heart of Wasilla, Alaska? Yes please.

I sat down with Francesco Baschieri — Spreaker co-founder, ex-iHeart exec, and now co-founder of PodSEO — to talk about why most podcasts are invisible online... and how that’s finally changing.

“There are 5 million podcasts in the directories. Most are dead—but still showing up in search results.”

Francesco’s take? Podcast marketing has totally missed the SEO revolution that helped mobile apps scale. That’s exactly what PodSEO is fixing — giving creators a way to measure, optimize, and rank the way apps have done for years.

We talk:
→ Why author fields matter more than you think
→ How indie podcasters can actually compete
→ Why he swore off podcasting—then got pulled back in
→ The truth about YouTube hype and generative AI

This convo is loaded with insights for anyone serious about discoverability.

Spotify for Creators keeps reinventing podcasting — but they also LOVE hiding the good stuff.

Case in point: buried deep in your Spotify for Creators account is a quiet little feature called “In This Episode” tags.

Never heard of it? That’s the problem.

You can tag:
🎙️ Your show
🎧 Guest’s episodes
🎵 Songs or audiobooks you referenced
📚 Literally any Spotify content

It’s free. It’s native. And it helps both discovery and listener engagement.
So why are most podcasters not using it?

Because Spotify… buried the announcement in a slew of other features... essentially never telling anyone.

In The Podcast Tech Stack newsletter, however, it's our job to keep up to date on this stuff so you don't have to. So, we broke down how to find it, why it matters, and exactly what to send your guest hosts to get tagged on their shows, too.

Read the full guide here: https://open.substack.com/pub/troutstreamstudios/p/spotifys-inexplicably-well-hidden?r=5bzrhx&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Stop missing easy wins!

Want more cross-promotion, discoverability, and listener retention — without spending a dollar? There's a dead-simple tactic hiding in plain sight in your Spotify for Podcasters dashboard.

“Start with the feed.”

That’s the advice from Greg Wasserman, Head of Relationships at RSS.com, and it might just change how you think about podcasting.

We sat down with Greg for The Podcast Tech Stack to talk about:
> Why your podcast host is your infrastructure, not your full stack
> The overlooked power of one-click distribution (20+ platforms, not just Apple/Spotify)
> Why "all-in-one" podcast tools often overpromise and underdeliver
> What a clean, open podcast tech stack should look like
> The real future of analytics, attribution, and monetization
> Why RSS.com is doubling down on relationships, not walled gardens

Too many creators are building shows on platforms they don’t own, chasing features they don’t need, and wondering why growth is flat.
