It's an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable

The greatest thing about podcasting is knowing its a wild frontier. There's always something new to tap into. Believe it or not, local podcasting is on the increase. Who, what, where and why?

For just over 10 years we've been bombarded by every clique in the world who thinks they can host and maintain a real podcast. Making it a business success rather than a book club hobby. Why are so many people quitting?

We all get them... a spike in our daily podcast numbers. It could last a day or four. But don't let it poison your drive. When it goes down, oops your heart no longer feels like the second coming of Joe Rogan.

The FCC regulates American radio and television. We see how its currently leadership is locked in on bullying anyone willing to share sips and samples of free speech. Podcasting is still seen as a wild frontier but is it really that free? When will the government urge rules to be written to silence the podcasters?
