You might be surprised to know that podcasts predate the Internet. They dated back to the 1980s and were originally called "audio blogging", referring to the practice of sharing experiences and thoughts. However, due to a lack of funds to distribute the records, the podcasts took another 20 years to gain momentum.
Nowadays, anyone can record a podcast with ease. Yet amid the relentless competition in today's digitized world, creating engaging content that can truly engage the listener is becoming increasingly difficult.
Data shows that the average podcast loses 25% of its audience in the first 5 minutes. So how do you come up with engaging material that will inspire potential listeners?
