How To Monetize Your Podcast (Without Sponsors!)

Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Josh Taylor. Josh is a podcast host who shares true stories from the Old West era through his history podcast, The Wild West Extravaganza. He also has a companion newsletter that focuses on the same topics. And despite being a forklift operator in real life, Josh is actively seeking a way to transition into a new career path, hopefully through his passion for history and storytelling. You can check out all his stuff at wildwestextra.com—you'll also find links there to his newsletter and his YouTube channel.
