This podcast has incredibly interesting points of view that might really pique your interest in how podcasts are used in business. It’s long and honestly, my mind wandered somewhere at the halfway point, but my focus and attention kept being pulled back because the conversation had authentic beginners tips that should be considered.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Podcasting is one of the fastest-growing areas of content development. They are swift to deploy in service of a defined need.
- If seeking to deploy podcast content, we should always aim to experiment rather than launch as a new commitment. This can lead to the feeling of wearing a millstone.
- Podcast listening is up 40% over the last three years. At Podbean alone, over 100,000 podcasts were begun in 2020.
- There is no gatekeeper for the world of podcasting, allowing for a surfeit of creativity. This also allows listeners to tune in to more specific niches.
