Spreaker Live Show #18 from Podcast Movement 2015 for Aug 2nd, 2015:

Guest: Rob Cesternino, Host of Award Winning "Rob Has A Podcast" - https://twitter.com/robcesternino

Host: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dot)com

Rob's got a bad edit on this show!

Description: You can feel the tension in this interview as Rob and Rob don’t really get along. Rob G. tries to recover and save the show but Rob C. goes into a rant about the egg people in his computer. Rob C.’s ‘Rob has a podcast’ does get mentioned but only briefly as reminisces about all of his podcast awards (which are not the people’s choice). For the 5 serious minutes of this interview both Rob’s agree that monetizing a podcast is more appropriate after you have produced enough good content for your audience to feel like they are supporting you when introduced to ads. Rated F for Funny.
