Podcasting is all about making connections. It’s a great way to take your customer relationships to another level and have genuine, meaningful conversations with other experts in the industry. “The depth of the relationship you’re creating with a podcast listener is so much greater than what you’re getting from somebody who’s watching your TikTok videos or multiple YouTube videos. All of the podcast listeners, they’re just way more connected to you,” says Alban Brooke, the Head of Marketing at Buzzsprout. And that’s why Buzzsprout produces not only one, but three podcasts: 1) Buzzcast, 2) Podcasting Q&A and 3) How to start a podcast. In this episode of Recorded Content, our host Tristan Pelligrino gets a deeper understanding of how Buzzsprout uses different types of podcasts to build trust along the customer journey. The two also discuss how podcasts differ from other marketing channels and pinpoint the right time to invest in a podcast at your own organization.

If you’re operating a business in 2021 and you’re still not podcasting, it’s almost like not having a website.

For starters, he says, “roughly 90% of what we get taught in marketing and entrepreneurship is completely fucking wrong.”

Aidan Fitzpatrick wants to let you in on a little secret. If you’re one of the nearly one billion iPhone users on the planet, there’s a video camera that’s almost as good as the ones used for TV in your pocket. “You’ve got something that really is effectively broadcast quality,” Aidan says on this episode of Recorded Content. “Lady Gaga records music videos on the thing. Billie Eilish did her last music video with them. The audio on them is pretty good and a lot better than built-in audio on the computer, but the video is really spectacular.”
