The Worst Podcast

The words have been spoken, and as the echoed sounds came into existence, the words left listeners begging for more. It was a broadcast heard all around the world. It was a back and forth dialog filled with both a excited drama and a lingering suspense. Heartbeats purposely synch to the vibrating sounds just to say that they too found harmony in that symphonic fire. Instantly, there was no stopping it, those heartbeats fell in love with that hypnotic voice, and nothing has ever been the same since.

When I am talking about the art of podcasting, I am well aware that the listeners have their own certain type of genre that they will subscribe too. On top of that, I also know that in one way or another that there is a certain voice, that one voice, that they favor and go to for inspiration. I think we can all agree, to listening to these creators in the art of podcasting is an experience in itself, but the question in my mind is a question I want to present to you....What does it feel like to start your own podcast and becoming that one voice that brings happiness and education to others?

What we have here today is my written walkthrough reasoning why a person should have or start a podcast in the coming weeks if you don’t have one already. I do also want to make clear my mission to get this article to your eyes, and as we begin, I hope you find your own reasoning to take this article to heart. It is safe to say that today, mid April, has been a rough set of weeks to all of us around the world. With everybody on lock down, and the government, no matter where you are, is doing all actions they can to find a cure to the virus that has disrupted and changed our life as we know it, or once how we knew it. When the virus runs it course, and we as a people finally get to rise up from this tragedy, we will also realize a new of live will also be the norm and adapted.

I say this because we are already see the impact the virus is making into our LIVE events or LIVE televised series. As studios are shutting down, those studios resort to filming LIVE events in their actor’s or celebrity’s homes. We see talk shows that usually have more than one host keeping that show together change their usual format, and now this studios take LIVE broadcasting from each host’s environment. On our smart screens we now see a four way communication between these hosts to keep their show alive. Let’s be real, this change of events will now be acceptable in our everyday lifestyle for the coming years, and running shows from a top notch studio will not be as necessary anymore.

Where the art of podcasting becomes important, well, it is as simple as your microphone taking action and creating your own presence into the ever growing matrix of social medias. Plus, there is already a small niche doing it. Today’s day of age is the trigger to now have a podcast of some sort because, now, just like the big studios resorted to, you too can do this from the comfort of your own home. If you begin now creating your brand, now in a time where it warrants it, your brand will be well ahead of it’s time when everybody else is trying to catch up.

Here in the outline that follows are my 10 points, not in any order, for you to start a podcast. I hope you enjoy. On a final note, if the title of this article intrigued you, let me finish this article by bringing to your attention that the worst podcast that I can think of right now is the podcast you never started. Thank you for your time.
