Whether you are a podcast producer or a podcast consumer,
you most likely know that iTunes is the most popular directory of podcasts in
the world and therefore has a huge reach. As a consultant, I highly recommend
producers to list their shows in iTunes for that very reason. But iTunes has its
shortcomings too. It seems that since Apple does not make any monetary profit
from their podcast directory it’s not a real high priority for them. Sometimes
listings can take several days to be updated and support for podcasters is
almost nonexistent.
Steve Lee, owner and producer at NetCast Studio, recognized
these and other issues with the various podcast directories and decided to
address them. His answer to this problem is Two Thumbs Up Media, a brand new
podcast directory that launched this month. The great benefit of TTUM is the fact that the show listings are completely controlled by the
podcast producer. If a listing needs updated, you simply log in to your account
and make the necessary changes. There are various listing types offered, both
free and paid. Some of the options you can include in your show listing are
show promos, social media links, podcast cover art, and much more.
If you are a podcast producer, I highly recommend you take a
look at Two Thumbs Up Media and get your show listed there. If you are a podcast
listener, then you should also check out TTUM to find some great new shows to
listen to. Steve and his team have done a great job of making it easy to sort through
listings by category and keyword. So check out Two Thumbs Up Media and then share
it with your friends.
