More from Podcast Movement thanks to Radio Ink highlighting Tom Webster’s keynote: (an even more detailed look at Edison Research’s numbers thanks to Inside Radio)http://www.insideradio.com/podcastnewsdaily/what-is-a-podcast-new-research-reveals-the-medium-is/article_c6346e20-bf7b-11e9-bdf5-73b56db21b2d.html

Webster advised podcasters to do three things:

1) Be where the listeners are because they will encounter your content, not seek it out.

2) Live where they are because they are where they are.

3) Love where they are because they are not going to be corralled anywhere else.
