#BlogosphereChat – Podcasting

Every Sunday at 8pm UK time, we host an hour long Twitter chat to discuss a topic related to blogging and social media. We ask four-six questions around the subject throughout the hour and you can use the hashtag #BlogosphereChat on your tweets to take part. 

Last week’s Twitter chat was all about podcasts.

As we’re getting ready to record series 4 of the Blogosphere: Serious Influence podcast, we thought this would be a great time to have a chat all about podcasting!

According to a study by Edison Research, there were more than 700,000 active podcasts at the end of 2019, and over 29 million podcast episodes. According to Apple at WWDC 2018, these numbers stood at 550,000 and 18.5 million respectively. So as you can see there are no signs of podcast popularity slowing down…

You’ll find the questions and answers below. If you prefer reading on Twitter, we’ve set up a Twitter moment so you can catchup.

Q1. Have you thought about starting a podcast? Why? Why Not?

A lot of people saying they would love to start a podcast, but aren’t sure what to talk about or how to fit it into their schedule.

Q2. What podcasts do you enjoy? Tag them!

Q3. What do you wish there were more podcasts about?

Q4. When are you most likely to listen to a podcast? How long do you think they should be?

Q5. How do you find new podcasts to listen to?

Q6. If you launched your own podcast, what would it be about? Is there anyone you would like to interview?

Continue the conversation in the comments below. We’ll see you over on Twitter next Sunday (02/02/20) for a chat about celebrating the community!

We’d love to know what you want to chat about – so if you have an idea for #BlogosphereChat, then please let us know!
