7 Podcasts You Should Be Listening To
I've been listening to podcasts for the better part of two years (late to the game, I know). It all started when I heard that Maynard James Keenan was gonna be on WTF with Marc Maron. From there, I branched out into The Nerdist, The Joe Rogan Experience, Pointless: With Kevin Pereira before eventually launching my own podcast. Planning the podcast is one of the important steps to take before you start this adventure. By listening to topics and people that interest you, you'll get inspiration and ideas, also learn a lot about how to structure and script your podcast segments. Enough about me, I wanna highlight some newer and better podcasts I've been getting into lately.
