Alan Black would like his newly-founded venture Left of Dial Media to be for podcasting what Criterion is for film.In a world of popular podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, Call Her Daddy and Theo Von, Black is on a mission to champion the things that are strange, new, weird, trailblazing and genre-defying - shows that will be remembered a decade from now.The problem is unlike film, podcasting doesn't have a canon. That's why he's created the Essential Listening Poll, a rundown of the Top 100 Greatest Podcasts of all time, curated by a cross-section of leading audio makers, journalists and academics that's been unveiled at Podcast Movement, with the support of Amazon Music.We welcome Alan Black back to Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about discoverability, the broken economics of podcasting, and why he believes there needs to be more tastemaking in the audio space.
