I can remember a day back in 2005 when there was one podcast directory. Apple iTunes.
If you had a podcast, if you weren't on there, you had no podcast joy of any kind. You would not be found. Discovery was impossible. Some might even call it broken.
Nowadays, people are wondering the same thing. Is podcasting having a problem with discovery?
Is discovery and podcasting broken? We're gonna talk about that inside this episode of the Podcast Gauntlet where we Throw-Down, Discuss, Rise & Shine in Podcasting!
