Everybody and their brother has a podcast these days. Podcasts are exploding! Is it because of the education, inspiration, or celebrities? That’s what the listeners will tell you. But the elephant in the room that nobody talks about is that podcasts are on fire because they are FREE!
FREE! …To Listeners
In fact, today listeners expect all intellectual property for FREE! So how is it financed? Surely the engineers, studios, and platforms all get paid. Where does that money come from? It comes from advertising and sponsorships. However, advertisers and sponsors aren’t going to support a podcast until it has a substantial following. Podcasters must bridge the gap and bet that they can attract a following worthy of sponsorship – and do it before they fold. This can take years. Meanwhile, many podcasters do fold.
A Different Kind of Podcast
But how about a different kind of podcast? A podcast without guests? A podcast that is a STORY? A marriage between an audiobook and a podcast where each chapter is a podcasted episode in a series that tells the more extensive story?
- How about making that story about the founding and growing of your company complete with all the challenges, surprises, and seemingly impossible successes?
- How about telling that story not just with simple narration, but as a fully-casted audio play with actors voicing the characters in real-life scenes that entertain while they educate, complete with sound effects and music?
- And how about adding credibility to each episode with a podcast-like interview that punctuates the end of every episode?
- Now, how about hosting that podcast on your website to tell your story, build your brand, and create the engagement and loyalty you seek?

No, you don’t need a commercial platform or a sponsor. You are your own sponsor and your business is the beneficiary.
