After the brouhaha of Spotify Wrapped last week, Apple Podcasts has dropped its own end-of-year charts. Apple Podcasts’ daily charts already show which titles are trending year-round, but its year-end charts are an indicator of which shows are doing best on a consistent basis: and no surprise, true-crime programming reigns supreme.
Although the chart gives us a clear idea of which type of shows do well, it is only one piece of the puzzle. Missing from the list are juggernauts like Joe Rogan Experience and Call Her Daddy, which are exclusive to Spotify. The only show that overlapped between Apple and Spotify’s year-end charts was Crime Junkie.
Apple also issued a list of the top new shows of 2022, which was topped by The Deck, Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, and The Thing about Helen & Olga. None of the top 20 new shows made it into the top 20 overall. Read More

Thinking of filming your podcast? Here are some tips to help get started!
When filming anything, it's important to have an even amount of light on the subject’s face. A ringlight works great for filming one person. It evenly illuminates your entire face with a soft, but bright light.
If you have a guest on your show, or if you wear glasses, 2-point lighting is more ideal. This will ensure you and your guest are both illuminated well, and if you're wearing glasses, this will create even light on your face, while shining out of the frame of your glasses, and eliminating glare.
