There are a lot of things most people don't know about the wonderful world of podcasting and my fellow creative, witty and inspiring podcasters, who I've come to know and love since 2014.

3 Things I'll Bet You Didn't Know

1. The range of topics varies widely. There are shows about knitting (Shiny Bees with Jo Milmine), dinosaurs (I Know Dino with Garret & Sabrina) and all things paranormal (Big Seance with Patrick Keller).
2. Some of the most famous podcasters whose names you've definitely heard of, record their episodes in closets, sometimes with a blanket over their head to muffle the echo and improve the sound quality.
3. Given how much time most podcasters spend talking on their show and interviewing guests, most are actually introverted in real life.

For anyone in the industry, this stuff is common knowledge. But to those who haven't lived "a day in the life" of podcasting, some of these might come as a shock.

This Podcast Will Put You To Sleep

One of my favorite examples of a niche shows is Sleep With Me, hosted by Drew Ackerman, who I had the pleasure of interviewing on Podcast Junkies. Drew's objective each episode is to lull you to sleep with his soothing voice.

Drew has even hosted live events where attendees were encouraged to show up in their sleep attire. As you might imagine, by the end of the night several attendees were snoring the night away. Crazy, right?

I encourage all of my fellow podcasting peeps to share any other interesting stories about your podcast journey for those that may not quite understand how much fun we've all been having. And if you've come across an obscure podcast, I'd love to hear all about it!
