Show Highlights:
  • One of the disservices a lot of us folks in the podcasting industry might've done was, promoting podcasting for being accessible or a low barrier to entry

  • The quality is rising to the top and so now that's becoming more and more common for regular indie podcasters to take their quality a lot more seriously

  • A huge topic of discussion for us at squad cast was really educating and informing our guests and the hosts on why they should wear headphones. It wasn't really obvious to people that headphones would impact the quality of their podcast or their conversation

  • We like to have a lot of data on what equipment podcasters are using and we are seeing that in the last couple of years more and more people are wearing headphones and not recording straight into their computer mic

  • There is something really special about on-demand content that is produced and edited and much more professional than that something on clubhouse

  • I'm really trying to be a good resource for our customers that when they do reach out and ask for advice, whether it's on, growing their show or how to get, how to monetize, like all the usual stuff that comes up, like I want to be a good resource for them to not just start podcasting, but again, continue to grow their show and stay in podcasting
