As creators in the podcast space, we get really curious about what people who aren’t in this space with us observe about podcasting: as an industry, as a medium, as a thing in the world in general.
But it’s particularly interesting to get a sense of what people think podcasting is as it pertains to our own work as individuals and as online business owners.
Some people think our podcast IS our job (we wish).
Others wonder if we’ve worked with any podcasters they’d recognize (maybe?)
And there’s yet another group (as Kacey can attest) whose eyes just glaze right over when you try to explain anything about what you do as a podcast service provider…
For us, it’s a fascinating study in human behavior, so of course it’s the perfect topic for a podcast episode.
What do people think we do, and why do they think we do it? Have our own opinions and perceptions changed from the first time we started listening to podcasts? How does podcasting actually work when it comes to using it for your business? And what are some of our favorite things about this industry we love so well?
These are aaaall questions we’re dissecting today, so join us as we break it all down.
