Intro

Randy shares what motivated him to create a podcast.

Everyone has a podcast, right? Why did I create one?

If every person on the internet started a podcast, that just gives us a bigger chance that we’ll find something we’ll like to listen.

Now it is estimated that there are over 750,000 podcasts, equating to over 30 Million episodes, as of June 2019. This is according to Podcast Insights.com. https://www.podcastinsights.com/podcast-statistics/

Podcast Insights broke these numbers down a little more to show that 50% of all homes are podcasts fans.

Why did I jump into podcasting?

The whole reason I got into computing in the first place was because I’m a lifelong musician.

I haven’t made a dollar off of this. I have a real, day job. Could this become a real, full-time, job? I don’t care, I’ll do it for free, forever – it’s fun and I’m probably helping someone.

There are many, many groups on Facebook, Reddit, etc, where people are donating their time and skills to answers the questions of other aspiring podcasters.

This Facebook Group is called “Podcasters’ Support Group“, with a key contributor being Helen Austwick Zaltzman
