I've been going back and forth on podcasting for so long. Like you I've listened to so many podcasts but after I got sick with Long Covid, that number went from hundreds to thousands. I get so frustrated when people say that the market is saturated. Really? I'm pretty sure it just decided an election. A lot of room for it to grow. Looking forward to watching your journey.

I don't know how I missed your comment. My apologies! I think "they" say a lot of markets are saturated. I think we just have to find a blue ocean or our niche with our podcasts. I don't care that much if my podcast grows, however, I use it to teach and to meet cool people and to talk about interesting concepts. That is the focus.

I’ve always wanted to start one. My biggest thing is coming up with enough content and consistently is the tough part. Ideas though? I have so many. Picking one is tough

I had nothing to post for my broadcast on Monday and then it came to me the night before. Sometimes we just have to show up and talk about something that interests us. I also find inviting guests on the show makes it far more interesting.

Well you are welcome on my show, if you wish. I have a live broadcast which I don't edit and a podcast that I edit. We could nerd out about writing, business, video games and cats.

I actually would be honoured! I love writing. Business? Not so sure, but I guess that comes with the craft. Buuut video games and cats?! Fuck yeah!

I'll DM the link to sign up. There are two steps, first you fill out a questionnaire and second you would sign a podcast consent.
