Podcasts are more popular than ever, mainly for the fact that almost anyone can have their own podcast if they wanted to. I myself have considered doing a podcast with friends, but I feel like the market is so full up, that it'd be hard to start a new podcast without people knowing who we are. I think they could find out about us during the podcast, but I think the more who know of us, the better.

Anyway, would you start a podcast if you could? Who here already has their own podcast?
 
Podcasts are proliferating today and there are many platforms where you can upload and monetize them as the app Fountain.fm although I have really thought about doing it I have not done it sincerely.
 
Starting up a podcast is not so difficult but it is it requires your prerequisite knowledge on the niche that you have chosen to podcast.
 
Podcast is not my thing and I even hardly listen to any form of podcast at the moment, so I would not be interested to have one currently but I can change my mind later in the future.

Yes that's the plain truth, it baffles me the more anytime I see some people venturing into this type of business without having the necessary knowledge and skills about how it goes.

Starting a podcast is good to make money but it is not meant for everybody because some people are not good at communicating to other people. They need to be skilled
 
Podcasts are much more effective if you are already popular. That will make people to always listen to you and if you want to promote something you can always promote it to them. But you can still give it a shot.
 
Podcasting is a good business but I have no much idea about it. I searched online what businesses could an accountant do but found out that podcasting is among what they could do as side hustle. I really want to learn anyways.
 
If you have communication skills, if you have good dictions and if you can write a good script for your podcast, you should certainly work on this areas it is constantly evolving as one of the best ways to make money.

For someone like me who is a graduate of mass communication, I believe that I actually have the skill to excel in this sector but it is not something that I am considering right now but I'm not ruling it out completely.
 
The fact that many people are already doing podcast should not discourage from starting. Once you have your own niche that's unique, you should go ahead and start your own podcast. It might take time before people started noticing but if what you're offering through the podcast is valuable, it's a matter of time before you start getting the needed attraction.

Someone like me would not Succed with a podcast as I don't have very good communication skills but when it comes to writing, I think I feel more comfortable and would thrive better.
 
Starting a podcast is a great idea, but not everyone is cut out for it. You must have great communication skills and You should be able to speak well. I do not have a podcast yet, but I would not hesitate to having mine.

I am glad that you know your strength and your weakness. Well, it does not mean. You can learn how to communicate with people and you can start up from there. It may be good for you.
 
Podcasting is not only about your knowledge of mass communication, it is also about speaking on the microphone and being able to talk well. You need voice communication skills to do this job.

You are very correct about that and I would also like to mention that being an expert in the mass communication field where you are taught on how to develop your communication skills for many years before you graduate from universities gives you a better advantage.

No doubt it gives you a better advantage because you are well equip with the tools you need to succeed but you need to gain physical experience as well if you are to succeed.

You are very correct about that assessment and I believe that it is because you actually worked in the print aspect of journalism and that is why you find it very difficult to adapt to what goes on in the broadcast department of journalism.
 
Well, podcasts are not really my thing. Don't get me wrong, i like listening to podcasts but i don't think i can start my own podcast even if i get the chance to do so.
 
That's correct. However, your experiences might be different. If you have worked for broadcast media like radio and television, you might be good at podcasting as well. But you might find writing script some what difficult.

You are very correct with that assessment because it is going to be very difficult for you to work in both the broadcast department and also in the print department. This is because you will be having a cluster of working principle.

Before you start podcasting it is important your master and become an expert in a particular area. you cannot just start podcasting if you are not knowledgeable about business or any area in life.

It is not funny as it is very possible to not have heard of it before, just recently I discovered that you can do live streaming on tik tok, which was the first time I was hearing about it.
 
Starting a podcast is a good idea if you have passion in talking and discussing about certain issues. You can easily grow a good number of listeners and eventually monetize your podcast using different methods.

This is actually one of the reasons why some people go on the internship in media houses so that they will practice how to get into podcasting very well before they will now come out to start it on their own as a private project.

It was actually what I did some years ago even though I did not have any plans to start podcasting but it was a knowledge that I needed for me to complete my journey in mass communication as a broadcast journalist and I really appreciated the effort that I put into the project.

I know of a friend that has a podcast where he talks about controversial happenings. The podcast runs daily. In five months, he takes so many calss from listeners. Now, he has adverts on his podcast.

Yes of course, I studied mass communication in the university and it's one of the best course that I never intended to study but one thing led to another and I found myself in a department. I am a proud journalist after I graduated with first-class in my department.

Wow, that's wonderful. I think you never understood what the course entails that why you never reasoned it at first. But on the long run you found out that it was something special and you put in your best to come out with first class. congratulations though.

It is actually true that you can gain authority in the industry as a person with popular podcast, but to gain that kind of influence is not easy and you need to put a lot of work.
 
I think the rise of podcasts took off in 2020 because everyone was stuck at home and enjoyed feeling like they were part of a conversation with other people or a small community of like minded people. That is why it is still growing as a trend in 2023. I never considered starting one but I know people who have. Anyone can do it at this point. You just need to be able to talk a lot and be interesting about what is being discussed. It helps to have more than one person too so you can bounce talking points back and forth.

That was the same time I heard about podcast, I have always been use to radio station and I always dream of owning my own radio station in my country and employing so many people
 
I am not a really great talker but owning a podcast can be a great source of extra income. That's because if you are consistent, you would start having adverts spots on your podcast. Your podcasts has to be informative.
