Last year more than half of all Americans listened to a podcast. Plus, 80% of podcast listeners consumed over 7 hours of content every week. And while many tuned in to be entertained and informed, nearly two-thirds admitted to buying a product or subscribing to a service after hearing about it on a podcast.
It means podcasting is now an effective marketing tool for small businesses looking to grow fast. A well-produced broadcast can boost sales, increase brand presence, and encourage more authentic customer engagement. And you don't need a huge marketing budget or advanced tech skills to produce podcasts that sell.

And it covers all the technical aspects of podcast production, including which hosting sites to use and how to edit like the pros.
