35. Why You SHOULDN'T Start a Podcast (and 4 Reasons You Should) [RE AIR]
This week, we're re-airing our very first (and most popular) episode of the Podcircle Podcast. If you're new to the show, we wanted to introduce ourselves by going back to the very beginning and asking maybe the most important question — why should I (or shouldn't I) start a podcast?
You’ve got an idea to share, a message to spread, or customers to reach, and you’re ready to start! Podcasting has the potential to meet your goals and beyond. Did you know that only 21% of podcast achieve more than 10 episodes? So before you press record, check out why we think you shouldn’t start a podcast and the four reasons we think you should.

6:51 You don't know what you're about
