The original intent of this planned episode was to cover some of the following topics:

Possible de-platforming and total control of content and podcasting by big media, especially those who wish to take over the medium via the recently announced Podcast Academy;

The Water Armageddon in California — rationing and limiting water usage to each person for 55 gal. per day, with a penalty of $1000 fine for each day if the amount of water used is greater than 55 gal.;

Future noise pollution as a new normal due to the limitation of single-family dwellings and being forced to have multiple buildings with other dwellers on your own property;

and other possible topics, of which only a few of them could be discussed in this podcast.

So, during these days of March, 2020, during the state of emergency and isolation and mandated quarantine by the local, state and federal governments combined, we used the telephone for remote recording of our interview. In this way, we would not add to the bandwidth pressures of the internet. The only stress would be the final mp3 files that we would upload and publish to our podcast shows.

In the meantime, I have also scheduled another interview within the next week with Daniel J Lewis, podcaster for theaudacitytopodcast.com. He also has three other programs that are worth mentioning:

Podcasters Society at podcasterssociety.com;

the My Podcast Reviews, which has been updated lately;

and the data that he shares on the Podcast Industry Statistics page.

and finally, his update on SEO for Podcasters program.

So, we hope that you have found this episode informational and of value — but remember, that the content in the interview is only made up of our opinions of our views of what the world is like now and what it will look like heading to the year 2030 (the original theme was initiated by Adam Curry and John C Dvorak of the NO Agenda podcast back in 2013 and 2014.

So we hope that you, as a podcaster, will contemplate within your own critical thinking the themes discussed, and perhaps you can influence the future of your own podcast show with your actions and your promotions of your episodes in dealing with the crises and themes today, which will then lead to the year 2030.
