Way back in 2005, very few people knew what a podcast was, and how it would fit into our advancing society. Nowadays, it seems like everybody has one (or is thinking about it).

If you’ve ever thought about podcasting at any point in your life, this episode was meant for you. From Dave Jackson’s experiences starting out as an early adopter of the platform, to profiting from your podcast, we discussed so much gold that it would be a crime not to listen in.

So, if you’re trying to dip your toes into the world of podcasting, tune in, take notes, and find out what it takes to have a successful podcast.
