Storytelling has been around for centuries and has evolved its medium through many years. From singing songs and poems in the olden days to television, films, Over-the-Top media (OTT), and now podcasts. A podcast is “a program (as of music or talk) made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet” (Merriam-Webster). Podcasts have gone through a significant boom in the past few years, especially since the pandemic. They have gone beyond just storytelling and have become mediums for people to express their opinions on various topics. Any topic you can think of is covered through podcasts, ranging from self-help, geopolitics, spirituality, relationships, career advice, motivational, and so many more.

Through this book, I want to introduce you to the world of podcasting and how you, too, can start your own and make it a source of income for yourself. Some of my personal favorites are the Knock ‘Em Out podcast by Vinnie Paz, Beyond the Pen with Maccabee and Marchella, 9 to 5ish with the Skimm, Small Biz Highlight with Tiffany Roman, Sports Law Podcast with Jeremy Evans, Chasing the Insights with Vince Warnock, That’s a Job? with Nate Clayberg, and The Fantasy Footballers podcast.
