Building a Community for Higher Education Podcasters with Gregg Oldring and Neil McPhedran

Welcome to another episode of About Podcasting! This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Gregg Oldring and Neil McPhedran, co-founders of Higher Ed Pods, a curated directory of podcasts in the higher education sphere. We delved into what Higher Ed Pods is all about, emphasizing its community aspect, which goes beyond just being a directory. We also discussed the importance of who's listening to your podcast rather than just the size of your audience. Greg and Neil shared their insights on the challenges and opportunities within the higher education podcasting community. They talked about the need for a community where higher education podcasters can collaborate and learn from each other. We also touched on the importance of open standards and podcasting 2.0, especially in the context of higher education. Additionally, we explored the future goals of Higher Ed Pods, including the potential for a revenue model and the launch of a new podcast that will feature different higher education podcasts each week. This episode is packed with valuable information for anyone interested in the intersection of podcasting and higher education.
