Starting Over in Podcasting

Podcasting remains a viable option for building an audience today despite the growing competition. The intimacy and convenience of listening to familiar voices create lasting connections with audiences. It’s essential for new podcasters to carve out a unique niche rather than trying to serve everyone, as the first-mover advantage has diminished. A successful example includes a laundromat podcast, proving that being the only podcast in a niche can lead to significant success.
