The Best Podcasts for 2022
It seems as if everyone has their own podcast, and why shouldn’t they? Podcasting is an inexpensive venture that, if done well, can pay great dividends. In 2020, controversial podcast host Joe Rogan signed an exclusive contract with Spotify worth over $100 million. Most podcasters don’t rake in that kind of cash, but a successful podcast can be its own reward. According to a study from Edison Research and Triton Digital, over 100 million Americans listen to monthly podcasts and about 68 million listen to weekly shows.
You can listen to podcasts on many platforms, such as Apple, Downcast, Google, SoundCloud, and YouTube. If you'd like to start listening, you should download a podcast app such as Pocket Casts or Stitcher. You can also listen to many podcasts on their associated websites.
If you're interested in getting into the podcast-producing game yourself, you will need top-notch equipment to deliver the best recording quality. We also recommend checking out podcast creation services such as Cast which take care of the entire podcasting process, including hosting and distribution.
