For some very famous people, or even some oddball people you've never heard of, I kind of do that process for you in a way that makes it interesting to most people, even if they have no interest or would define history as boring.""If you're interested in podcasting, don't try to chase audience. Find something that you really like and want to do because you're going to last 10 episodes if you're not really jazzed by podcasting. You've got to find your niche, you've got to find an audience, and you also have to find something that motivates you to keep posting this stuff.""I wouldn't have cranked out 150 episodes if I didn't love what I do. Clearly, I have thought about other topics, yet my perspective is I've known other podcasters who've searched out other topics and they found they didn't even do as well with their second or third topic because they got so stretched thin that the whole thing fell apart after that."Resources MentionedLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipdgibbons/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/phil.gibbonsX - https://x.com/PhilipDGibbonsPodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube:
