What is the worth of the Joe Budden Podcast

I deicided to cover this in a separate post. 

The problem with worth especially monetary worth, it's highly dependant on what the buyer or investor thinks it's worth. So Joe Budden can have a figure what he thinks the Joe Budden podcast is worth and it will be up to the investors to make an independent valuation based on whatever metrics and decide if they are going to match it. 

Saying that, Joe Budden's podcast is worth a lot. To Spotify it gave the platform a lead to a new demographic of podcast listeners, and once those listeners were part of Spotify, they started offering more.  So basically Joe Budden podcast was a lead in, and gateway, a bridge.

For example using myself as a casestudy, I followed the Joe Budden podcast from YouTube to Spotify  however once I arrived at Spotify, the platform started offering me different podcasts. The most recent would be the Michelle Obama Podcast. 

Spotify would have the metrics on my listening preferences - as to which Joe Budden podcast, I listened, finished to and probably now what point I joined. Let's face it, at times Joe Budden does ramble on so I love the fact they cue their topics so I can dip in and out. So with these metrics plus my music listening trends, Spotify can decide what podcast they'll think I'm interested, and most of the time they get it right however there is only one messy  Joe Budden, so his format is difficult to emulate because let's face it when Mal and Rory and Parks are being cautious or measured  - Joe Budden doesn't care, leaves caution to the wind and goes unleashed, unfiltered. 

So when things are happening in Hip Hop universe or some drama, I tend to check in with Joe Budden's opinions on the Joe Budden podcast because even if I don't agree with his rants or opinions - I know they are from the heart and what Joe Budden truly believes at the time. Joe Budden doesn't curate his opinion because even when Joe Budden does, he back tracks and lets us know what he's thinking. Joe Budden is as  honest as you can get on a podcast. 

However back to Spotify, so I joined and after a while I took out a family subscription for an event. And as a result my family, with very different music tastes from me are now on Spotify. Only  Spotify will have that metric, because there was a time with Joe Budden was offering six months premium - I didn't qualify as I don't live in the USA. So you can imagine it's not just listening figures but a paying audience some would have decided to take up the offer for many reasons, and still paying. So not only did Spotify gain from listening figures and advert revenue, then also got more money and potentially other listeners (like my family) though the door. 

Will Joe Budden podcast listeners follow Joe Budden to another platform?

Yes, however it may take time. To be honest, probably but given the allegations which have been categorically denied by Joe Budden on the Joe Budden podcast, I am feeling some kind of way. With the alleged canine abuse allegations - can't see the man in the same way.  Then again, ideally, probably a big yes since Joe Budden is honest and unfiltered on his podcast. There isn't a rant like the Joe Budden rant in the podcast world. Maybe Kanye West but that tends to be due to his alleged  on-going health problems and at times can be incoherent. 

Joe Budden has categorically denied the inappropriate acts even then the fact it was levelled at him, is serious enough.

However ideally, I think when things have settled, his fanbase will follow him to the next platform - but they may not if they are tied in with Spotify - like how many platforms can a person listen to? So they may just stick with Spotify and listen to him on YouTube. Or they could follow and stop listening to Spotify, if they are mainly just Joe Budden fans.  Like they only listen to other podcasts because it's on the same platform. What the point of having two streaming platform app? And if he goes behind paywall streaming device? Who knows.

So hopefully, will settle and Joe Budden will be given his true worth for his Joe Budden podcast. 

Take care and keep safe everyone 

What next for Joe Budden after dissing Charlamagne Tha God: Opinion on the Joe Budden Podcast worth, and steps forwards.

After Joe Budden going on his rant about Charlamagne Tha God not being an owner and basically i-heart's bitch (my interpretation), and leading others to the modern day iheart podcast plantation (my (my interpretation), it seems Joe Budden is now running compilations of Joe Budden podcast on Youtube. 

It has been a extremely poor state of affairs with lots of accusations going around regarding Joe Budden  from inappropriate acts with dogs (basically animal abuse or even bestiality) to toxic abusive relationships with former partners and wife-woman beating. Which Joe Budden has categorically denied, claiming there was a smear campaign against him. Which stands to reason because coming to the end  of Joe Budden where Joe Budden may be looking for new investors or business partners, the timing of these allegation were not the best. In fact, it would scare off most investors.

 Let's be honest as a former rapper, the toxic abusive relationships and alleged wife-woman beating rumours have plagued Joe Budden for years, but investors aren't expecting a squeaky clean personality. Even investors will know of people who were alledged wife-woman beaters or people in toxic relationships.  Charlamagne Tha God has had his own allegations in the woodwork. And Hip Hop is rife with toxic abusive relationships towards both men and women, in fact the entire music industry. Could ad the human race. Unfortunately domestic violence is so common that once people (on both side) admit or do some damage control, investors will take a risk. 

However unfortunately alleged acts of bestiality or alleged inappropriate  acts with animals is another thing. That is animal abuse, as they are vulnerable creatures that do not have a say, also you can't look at a man or a person the same way.  It's a very grave and serious allegation, and even though it's an allegation, it's hard see beyond that, whether people are taking it seriously or in humour, it's class joke.  Even in prison they have alleged unacceptable crimes and yeah.....so 

Do investors want to be associated with a person where such allegations are swimming around the internet, or used as a butt of every joke. But can anyone sit at the table with such allegations and keep a straight face. 'Dog cookie for the partner?'

It has been over a week since the Joe Budden podcast last aired and a true winner of the 'lets make coins and get paid' war is emerging and it aint Joe Budden. To date Joe Budden  last tweet was promoting episode 

Joe Budden vs Charlamagne Tha God

At present in terms of the money situation, it seems Charlamagne Tha God is leading. Charlamagne Tha God  still is on the Breakfast club, still bringing home the bacon. Joe Budden is launching his own network according to his posts on Instagram. But technically anyone can have a podcast network on YouTube, no disrespect to Joe Budden. It's not that hard. 

So I guess we need to watch the space especially with all the allegations Joe Budden and Charlamagne Tha God levelled at each other, plus other internet drama. Has it affected Joe Budden's brand? Time will tell.

These men are millionaires (supposedly but I'm not their accountant, so have proof of their income streams) but it's interesting they too have problems. 

What next for Joe Budden and the Joe Budden Podcast.

Despite all the bravado of Joe Budden talking ownerships and throwing shade at Charlamagne Tha God, there has been no announcements so far about where the Joe Budden podcast will be. It seems his co-hosts need a cheque-check to continue. I would have thought that Rory, Mal and Joe Budden could continued on Youtube but it's contracts I guess. It's not that simple. There is also the behind the scenes people - the intern, camera person, sound etc. So I hope Joe Budden finds the worth for his Joe Budden podcast. 

A lot is going on in the world at this time, people. so keep safe and take care of yourself and each other.
