In this episode, we kick things off with a spotlight on KidsPod, an interactive platform that lets kids draw and color while they listen. We also draw a comparison with another kids podcast app, Kids Listen, highlighting the unique features and benefits that make KidsPod stand out. But that’s not all; we also delve into Apple Podcasts' efforts to improve discoverability for niche podcasts, and SXM's shut-down of the popular podcast app, Stitcher.
Then we discuss strategies for overcoming podcasting hurdles, emphasizing the importance of playing the long game, letting passion lead, and the significance of co-hosts in podcasting in terms of the accountability and consistency they bring. And finally, we discuss a new Guinness World Record set by a podcaster and wonder what records we could break.
