We also draw a comparison with another kids podcast app, Kids Listen, highlighting the unique features and benefits that make KidsPod stand out. But that’s not all; we also delve into Apple Podcasts' efforts to improve discoverability for niche podcasts, and SXM's shut-down of the popular podcast app, Stitcher.Then we discuss strategies for overcoming podcasting hurdles, emphasizing the importance of playing the long game, letting passion lead, and the significance of co-hosts in podcasting in terms of the accountability and consistency they bring. And finally, we discuss a new Guinness World Record set by a podcaster and wonder what records we could break.
