The benefits of podcasting are plentiful: Creating a podcast is simple and inexpensive (although you can certainly make it difficult and expensive if that’s how you roll.)
You have a captive audience, because people often listen to podcasts while they’re doing something that keeps them from reading or watching videos, like driving in their car or running on a treadmill.
You are quite literally inside your audience’s head, and they feel like they know you.
People subscribe to your podcast, so it’s delivered to them automatically, not unlike an email newsletter.

leaders and professional now entering (or re-entering) the

the traffic. So when you decide to create a podcast, shoot
