ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Diary of a CEO is doing something genuinely damaging to indie podcasters. Not maliciously. The damage is the business model.
Hi, I'm Neal Veglio, The Podmaster.
In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why comparing your show to mega-podcasts like Diary of a CEO, High Performance Podcast, and Young and Profiting isn't just unhelpful — it's statistically irrational.
Using Phil Rosenzweig's Halo Effect, Nassim Taleb's Silent Graveyard, the Columbia Music Lab experiment, and Daniel Kahneman's narrative fallacy, I'll explain the intellectual architecture behind why these shows exist, who they're actually designed to serve, and why their 'success strategies' are largely retrospective fiction.
You'll hear why the gap between what these shows promise and what they can actually deliver is not a flaw — it's the product.
Also in this episode:
Listener email: Do you actually need a trailer episode before you launch?
Experiment: Listen back to your three most downloaded episodes and steal from yourself.

ДРУГИ ЕПИЗОДИ В ТОЗИ ПОДКАСТ
I typed my own podcasting agency's brand name into Google. Spelled wrong, completely on purpose, because transcription services keep hearing "Podknows" and writing "Podnose."
Something was living there. A whole podcast network. Twenty-odd shows. Says it's been going since 2013.

I was on YouTube the other night. Not for a good reason.
Twenty minutes later I'm looking at one of the big ones — two lads in a studio worth more than my house, four cameras, somebody just out of shot whose entire job that day was deciding where the lamps went. Two point three million views. Up ab…
Spotify has secretly built a button that tells your listener which bits of your episode aren't worth hearing.
It's called Skip Ahead. It's in testing, they haven't announced it, and the excellent podcast industry journalist James Cridland broke it on Podnews. One tap and you're past the entire ad …
Alex Cooper's company Unwell took its first outside investment, from Patrick Whitesell's WTSL, at a $500 million valuation. Every podcast expert on LinkedIn immediately pointed out that this is more than iHeartMedia. I went to check that, because I don't repeat numbers I haven't checked, and I got …
Last week I suggested, in a LinkedIn comment, that podcasters should all walk off Spotify together and keep them honest.
Then I went and looked into how you'd actually do it. And that's when the truth of the situation emerged. And OMFG is it a situation.
So this episode was going to be the good n…
