“We’re Just Changing the World… One Listener at a Time”
Everyone has a podcast now–even your neighbor who mows his lawn in Crocs. But some podcasters think they’re not just chatting into a USB mic; they’re building empires of enlightenment with 34 plays per episode (22 of which are them testing the upload).
Funny Evidence from the Podiverse
