Welcome to Podcast Theory! This show is dedicated to diving deep into the art, business, and psychology of podcasting for business - providing a well-rounded resource for leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs looking to add podcasting to their initiatives or elevate an existing show.
Since this podcast's launch in 2020, it's undergone a couple of changes:
- Seasons 1 and 2 were known as Pod Theory
- Season 3 was dedicated to solo podcasting and aptly named Solo Podcasting Simplified
These episodes live on in the archives while new seasons of Podcast Theory are produced in two formats:
1. Seasons featuring host Jason Cercone and a Featured Co-Host
2. Livestreams airing on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook every Tuesday & Thursday at 12:00pm EST, then released as podcasts on the same day. These livestream episodes are filed under Season 4.
We look forward to bringing innovative, cutting-edge podcasting tips, strategy, and commentary your way. Subscribe and follow the show so you're the first to know when new episodes go live!
