Join me for an insightful conversation with Chris Smith from Podtastic Audio as we dive deep into the world of podcasting audio.

I ask Chris why there seems to be a preference for audio podcasting over video and how listener statistics should inform podcast content. He shares effective ways to improve audio quality in podcasts, pointing out "With audio, you can do more with less. Audio is probably the only content that ever would exist that you can physically consume while doing anything else."

We discuss the immersive experience of audio, podcast advertising, challenges in video editing compared to audio, and much more. You'll hear nuggets of wisdom from Chris like "What's in it for the listeners? I know why you as the podcaster are doing it...But why should the listener care? Why are they here? What are they getting out of this?” We'll also talk about the statistic that 80% of podcasters DON'T use video as part of their podcasting production.

Tune in for actionable podcasting tips and insights on how to create a successful podcast without spending a fortune.
