If you're not sure what podcasts are, get ready to be introduced to a free and fun way to be filled with timely insight. For my friends that are PR players, check out some of the most influencial publications your pitching and find who's doing podcasts. It's a quickhit with high circulation numbers and almost all reporters are reqired to have a personal podcast or blog/vlog of their own.For the rest that aren't too sure about podcasts, it's a way for a news outlet or even a celeb personality to report and get thier voice heard with out it costing the consumer (you) money. If you make a daily podcast download part of your daily routine, it'll be a great way to fill in your commute time.
Similar to blogs, podcasts come in just about every shape, shimmy and flavor. Choose your poison and you'll be pleasantly suprised. Here are a few tips on how to get started.
