In the podcast episode titled “Legacy media is dead – Long live Podcasting!” hosts Todd Cochrane and Rob Greenlee discuss various issues concerning the state of media, particularly focusing on the rise of podcasting and its impact on traditional media, politics, and advertising. 
The episode begins with Todd experiencing technical issues with his RODECaster Duo, which keeps disconnecting from his MacBook. This leads to a discussion on potential compatibility issues after a recent Mac update and the advantages of hardwired connections over wireless setups. 
Rob shifts the conversation towards the influence of podcasting on the presidential election, suggesting that independent media, including podcasts, has become a significant source of information. He believes that podcasts offer detailed information and are less likely to spread falsehoods compared to traditional media. The hosts debate the role of podcasting in shaping public opinion, particularly during elections, and discuss the shift from celebrity endorsements to influencers like Joe Rogan who seem to resonate more with today’s voters. 
There is a specific focus on how podcasting contrasts with legacy media. Todd reads a listener’s comment about how new media influencers potentially swayed voter behavior in favor of specific candidates. This leads to a broader discussion on the trustworthiness of media sources and the evolving landscape of media consumption where podcasts and online platforms are becoming more influential. 
Throughout the episode, they express concerns about the potential misuse of editing within podcasts to misrepresent discussions—a practice they disdain and believe should be transparent to listeners. Both hosts reflect on the dynamics of media credibility and audience trust, analyzing how political biases and misinformation could tarnish media reliability. 
Todd and Rob also talk about Spotify’s role in podcast distribution and advertising, touching upon issues with feed caching and their impact on content updates. They delve into technical aspects like the use of Brotli compression and its compatibility with Spotify’s systems, suggesting potential business motives behind technical decisions that affect podcast hosting and distribution. 
Towards the end of the episode, the discussion pivots back to the impact of digital media on traditional broadcasting, with Rob suggesting that mainstream media must adapt or face diminishing relevance. They conclude by reaffirming their commitment to providing truthful, unedited content in their podcasts, promoting transparency and listener trust as foundational values. 
Technical issues arise once again as Todd’s equipment loses connection, but despite these disruptions, the episode covers a range of topics linked to the overarching theme of shifting power dynamics in media due to the rise of podcasting and digital platforms.
