  Speaker 1: It's actually been one of the greatest adventures to create
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a network of podcasts that give you the power of choice.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Because I know what it's like to be in the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: front seat of your car, and the podcast that you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: checked into when you took off from house was like, oh, God. This, again,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I think I've heard this before. Where am I going
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to go? Well, instead of hitting every single platform that's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: available to man, just go to one place. Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. My name is Harold. I'm the host
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of the weekly podcast, Podcrashing and Podcrashing One-on-One. These episodes
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: connect listeners to podcast specialists around the world. The goal
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: has always been to inform our podcast community with subjects
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that deal with everything and beyond. Podcrashing One-on-One has been
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: around since March of 2019. The original goal was to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: really put a lot of focus on helping up-and-coming podcasters
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to have the right information about hosting as well as surviving.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The purpose of Podcrashing One-on-One is to help you build
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: your own platform, promote it, and maybe even make some money.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: This is Podcrashing One-on-One, episode number 501. Top podcasters are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: currently running gambling commercials that are reaching younger listeners. Now,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are paying close attention to this,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: mainly because gambling outlets have become a huge industry inside
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the relationship between podcasters and their advertisers. One main reason,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: research currently shows it's highly engaging to underage adults. In fact,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a 2025 report exposed the gambling commission and what they found.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Nearly 80% of today's young people recalled seeing a gambling commercial.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Podcasts were specifically listed as a source of exposure. A
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: 2026 Sacred Heart University poll found that 62% of Americans
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: physically worry about gambling ads and how they're affecting the young,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: especially during sporting-related events. What does all of this even mean? Well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: doctors in the U.S. and Canada are warning about the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: constant sporting ads that we're seeing as well as listening,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and they're saying that it's normalizing gambling behavior for teens
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and other young adults. Public sentiment is shifting. There are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: growing calls for restrictions similar to what happened with cigarettes
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: back in the 1970s where they had to lay low
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: or take them completely off. Now, what is the best
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: way to advertise on the podcasting? Some people are saying,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Mom and Dad, watch your kids. Make sure they're not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: doing it. Don't put it on the podcasters. I'll keep
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you up to date. Coming up next, will ASCAP and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: BMI release the pressure on podcasters when it comes to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: copyright laws? Hey, thanks for coming back to Podcrashing One-on-One.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Will ASCAP BMI ever release the pressure associated with copyright laws?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Podcasters are your best influencers, but if the iHeart and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Spotify popo is coming after the podcaster promoting the music,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: there's no reason to even talk about it. Now, let's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: get out there in the front. ASCAP BMI were all
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: created in a different kind of world, an old-fashioned world.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Podcasting has been the first to really kind of operate
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: inside that gray area. It exploded faster than what we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: could really think about when it comes to the certified
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: systems of adapting to ASCAP BMI. Podcasting needs composition rights,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: publicity rights, and master recording rights. Spotify and iHeart, they'll
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sit there and they'll take your ass down because what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they're trying to do is to protect themselves from a lawsuit.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And label pressure, that's bad enough as it is. Podcasters
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: call them music cops. Radio, mixtapes, and college DJs once
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: broke bands in, introducing the music to a mass of people. Well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: podcasters are truly not getting such a warm welcome. ASCAP
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and BMI openly admit how they would love to help
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ease up the podcast community, but not until the industry
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: creates a simpler podcast blanket license. That includes publishing, master rights, clips, commentary,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and and affordable rates. For indie artists, many podcasters would
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be there for you, but there ain't no way we're
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going to touch you unless we call this pirate radio
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and face expulsion. I'm Arrow, and that's Podcrashing One-on-One.
