How to Make a HUGE Impression with a NICHE Podcast
So, you’ve got a very specific or technical topic that you care a LOT about? Maybe it’s post-modern architecture or vegan cuisine or that (still incredible) TGIF lineup from the late 1990s. Whatever it is, let’s make a podcast about it!
In this session, we’ll explore practical ways that you can turn your specific area of interest into a thriving podcast. A niche podcast requires a completely different set of tactics than a podcast intended for broad appeal. We’ll talk about how to tailor your podcast production (content, branding, guests, editing etc.) to make your listeners care as much about your (lowkey weird) topic just as much as you do!
