Yes, I admit. I am a podcast addict. Since discovering podcasts sometime last year, I have been consuming podcasts during my daily grind – going to and from work. You could say that I consume about 10-12 hours of podcasts a week. In fact, I have written a blog post about why you should listen to podcasts. It’s the in thing now. Would you like to get left behind?
However, for this episode, I turn the tables around and discuss why a freelancer, a solopreneur, a blogger or anyone with something to say and contribute to the world should start a podcast NOW. Yes, right NOW!
Also, I give you some of the most popular Pinoy podcasts today and my favorite one that got me started podcasting.
Here we go.
