Podcasting on Pandora, iTunes, and Spotify

Podcasting on Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, and more is now easier than ever for authors, entrepreneurs, and those who have a message to share with the world. Podcasts have taken an exponential leap during 2018, with Seth Godin proclaiming that “podcasting is the new blogging” and that interviewing a guest on your podcast is tantamount to having someone write a guest post for your blog. This is an excerpt from his recent post called Podcasting is the New Blogging:

Podcasting is a proven technology that is still in its infancy. It’s an open mic, a chance for people with something to say to find a few people (or perhaps more than a few people) who’d like to hear them say it.

And podcasting is the generous act of showing up, earning trust and authority because you care enough to raise your hand and speak up. And a way to share your ideas, to lead your community, to earn trust.

My story of becoming a podcaster is a more humble one. When I first came online in 2006 I heard stories of being able to broadcast your voice through something called RSS (really Simple syndication) and I even purchased a couple of books on how to do this. I believe one of these was a “Dummies” book and I may even have this in my library to this day. But the technology was way over my head and I soon let this go by the wayside.
