The Podcast Industry | Observations From The Inside

I've spent a lot of time in the depths of what's going on, so it's time to tell you what I've learnt. In Episode #429 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the evolution of podcasting across it's 20 year history, the good/bad parts of what happens on the inside, why advertising screws everything up, why you'll never be able to make ridiculous money from podcasting and a whole bunch of predictions for how the industry will change in 2024.
