My next guest on The PodFest Asia Podcast is Evo Terra, Podcast Philosopher, Strategist and Founder of Simpler Media Productions. About this special episode that was recorded during Day 1 of PodFest Asia on 3 Dec 2020, one month before official news came out on 4 Jan 2021 about Amazon.com’s acquisition of podcasting powerhouse Wondery: I spoke to Evo on Amazon setting itself up to compete against Spotify for podcast domination, whether Amazon’s move will change podcasting’s power dynamic, his hot takes on what the future holds for everyone in the podcasting industry, why 2020 was a good year for podcasting and the same could also be said for 2021 and 2022, his thoughts on TikTok taking off, microcasts (podcasts under 10 min) and many more...

About Evo:  He is one of the rare people in podcasting who has been around for a while and has a great understanding of podcasting's past, but is keeping up with what's happening in podcasting NOW. He knows the massive changes happening to the medium and knows where podcasting is headed. He's a great blend of in-the-trenches experience and "big picture" understanding. Fresh from pontificating over the ups and downs of 2020 and how this year has affected the podcast industry with Heather Osgood on her excellent "2020 Podcast Industry Review Show", I re-invited Evo Terra to come on PodFest Asia to "remix" his hot takes and educate our Asian audiences this time on what the future holds for everyone in the podcasting industry. In this short 30 min conversation, you would be an instant admirer of his style of delivery which was so thought provoking - I personally find his honest viewpoints were contrary to what the audience usually wanted to hear from a keynote or conference speaker, but 30 secs in I was won over by his point of view which was so well articulated and substantiated - that it really was something to admire. We hope you’ll enjoy this episode of Podfest Asia podcast!
