Creators from TrueFans: Showcasing Independent Podcasting
Championing independent podcasters and their supporters, each episode features an interview with an indie podcaster to talk about their show and how they make it, their podcasting frustrations and joyful moments, how they connect with listeners, how they fit podcasting in around their everyday lives, and whether they earn money from their shows.
We also consider how specific Podcasting 2.0 features could be of use to them to improve discoverability, interactivity and monetisation for their podcast.
Co-hosts Claire Waite Brown and Sam Sethi (CEO of the TrueFans podcast listening app) then discuss what's happening in the podcast world that might be of interest and use to independent podcast creators.
