Podcasts have soared in popularity over the past few years. There is a podcast for just about every genre or topic that may interest you, from current events to celebrity gossip. Podcasts are easy to follow along and because of the lack of visuals, making them the perfect companion for commuters, road trippers, and anyone who has to focus their eyes on something but wants to enjoy more than music. Podcasts started by influencers, celebrities, or figures in the business world can automatically draw attention to themselves by bringing their existing audience over to the new format. Hosts will sometimes invite a guest onto the show for an episode, which can benefit the guest’s brand and the podcast simultaneously. In the social media marketing industry alone, there is an abundance of podcasts with hosts and guests from all different backgrounds and brands. In this industry, it is important to always stay up to date with the latest trends and concepts, and we believe that podcasts are one of the best and easiest ways to do so.
