If you're listening to this, chances are you are a fan of podcasts, audio shows and content that you can listen to. But did you know that podcasts are a great way to get your business out there? Comedians from all over the US have used podcasts to successfully create a platform for their craft and are currently using them to directly engage their audience. This leads to more paying gigs and more LOLs for everyone, but you dont have to be a comedian to gain the benefits of a podcast. Enjoy our conversation!
