Lots going on in the world of podcasting! Podcasts, as we know, can be a great owned media platform for entrepreneurs and thought leaders, but they take a bit of work.
How much work, and what are the challenges people in the podcasting trenches are facing currently?
I decided to find out!
In this episode, we get the lowdown from Bea Abalti, founder of Bear Forward Podcast Solutions, which helps small and medium business owners who want to start a podcast, or they already have one and want to grow their audience.
Specifically, I got Bea on the show because she has just finalised a survey of business owners who produce a podcast, and I wanted to chat through the findings with her to get a good picture as to what's happening out there in podcasting land!
So, we chat about the survey and the insights it revealed, plus we get into a broader discussion about podcasting generally, and some of the things to look out for if you're thinking of embarking on a podcast project now or in the future.
