and individuals have started producing their own podcasts. For businesses in particular, podcasting breaks down the barriers between the voices of the company and those in their intended markets, effectively <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/small-business-network\/2016\/nov\/01\/podcasting-it-builds-trust-credibility-and-brand-loyalty\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helping to build<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trust, credibility, and brand loyalty among listeners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, podcasting in its simplest form is exclusionary to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16177267\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more than 10 million Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Ensure you have an accessible website<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25545 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Blog designs\" width=\"202\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2-174x174.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-designs-2.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/>Your website is one of the best places to promote your podcast \u2013 whether it\u2019s through calls-to-action on a blog post or a callout in your header nav. Unfortunately, website visitors may not be able to get to your podcast if your website has accessibility issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are quick fixes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webaccess.berkeley.edu\/resources\/tips\/web-accessibility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make a website more accessible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These steps include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Making forms accessible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you\u2019re starting an email list to alert subscribers about new episodes, sign-up forms need to be labeled for screen readers to pick up on them and fields must be navigable with a keyboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Organizing content with headers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Screen readers rely on headers to better understand and navigate a page. If you\u2019re promoting a podcast on a blog post \u2013 or even on a dedicated podcast landing page \u2013 headers make finding and accessing audio content much simpler.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using descriptive link anchor text<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Another benefit to those using screen readers, descriptive link text is a direct way to prompt action. Be specific and use clear prompts such as \u201cclick here to listen on Apple Podcasts.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Publish with an accessible media player<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a podcast to be enjoyed by all, the program should be available on an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/podcast-accessibility.com\/accessible-media-players\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accessible media player<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessible players assist those who may have difficulty navigating media player controls. A player that meets basic accessibility requirements might include the following features:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear labels for any buttons or controls on the player (play, pause, skip ahead 30 seconds, etc.).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to navigate to (and activate) controls via keyboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring media does not autoplay.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An accessible media player is also a key component of an aforementioned accessible podcast website. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wistia.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wistia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <a href=\"https:\/\/getaccessibleapps.com\/qcast\">QCast<\/a> are good options to explore here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#DEEFF5;color:#000000\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/alliedpodcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Check Out 3Play Media&#8217;s Allied Podcast<\/u><\/a> \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp;<\/span><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Include a transcript<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcripts are readable, text-based versions of your podcasts. These transcripts can be linked on your podcast website or in the description for each episode\u2019s upload to your show\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.simplecast.com\/en\/articles\/2683737-what-is-an-rss-feed-and-why-do-i-need-one-for-my-podcast\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RSS feed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than type out the back-and-forth of podcast participants word-for-word, you can use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/services\/transcription\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">podcast transcription software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to transcribe the contents of an episode automatically.

Offer alternative methods for consuming podcast content<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of podcast content is in how effortlessly it can be repurposed for other types of marketing material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-25463 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-287x300.jpg\" alt=\"girl looking at phone with heart icon above it\" width=\"134\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-575x600.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-768x802.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-560x585.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-671x700.jpg 671w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-144x150.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-72x75.jpg 72w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image-174x182.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/download-image.jpg 775w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 134px) 100vw, 134px\" \/>For example, if you have the ability to record in a professional studio, you might be able to get a video counterpart for your podcast, which can be uploaded in its entirety onto YouTube or clipped for promotional posts on social media accounts. The same can be said if you want to record a Zoom call when hosting podcasts remotely, or even uploading the audio to YouTube alongside a logo for the show as the \u201cvideo\u201d content. Notice how YouTube channel CinemaSins does this for its Sincast Podcast \u2013 and how the video has the option to enable captions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jXep4fO0uW4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what video you capture and repurpose, remember to always <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/services\/captioning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">add captions to your podcast videos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This ability to utilize podcast content for multiple purposes \u2013 and across multiple mediums \u2013 helps to extract even more value from your podcast program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.
