Are you considering starting a podcast? You aren’t alone. There are currently about 2,000,000 podcasts in existence, with over 48 million episodes to choose from. New podcasters have to offer something truly special to stand out among the masses, but it’s easier than ever to get your voice out there and start a show. The rise of audio consumption is undeniable, so it’s a good time to launch the idea you’ve been on the fence about.

Perhaps the most critical element to starting a solid podcast is determining if there is an audience for what you have to offer. What makes your insights worth listening to? Is the topic interesting? Is the topic unique and something you can share a new perspective on? If the answer to those questions is “yes”, you may be onto something!
