I have no crystal ball – but I work with enough podcasters week in and week out to know something about the future of podcasting. I’m a smart enough guy to see the writing on the wall, so to speak – and I want you to be in the know about what I see coming.
This episode of Podcastification is a quick explanation of the near horizon of podcasting. I’m going to take back a bit to understand how podcasting has changed, then look at what’s happening around us right now (it has to do with big dollars entering the podcast-o-sphere) – and why that matters for us as Indie podcasters.
I wrap up giving you TWO big things to think about and take action around in order to ensure that the future of podcasting has a place for you.
