Join us for the “A Tale of Two Podcasts: From Concept to Reality” webinar by Allie Proff and Ben Woelk.
About the webinar
More Americans know what podcasting is than who the vice president is, and 12 million Americans listened to their first podcast last year. Of people who are podcast listeners, 80% listen to all or most of each episode, and listen to an average of 7 episodes each week. Given that sort of engagement, it’s no wonder that businesses are starting to seriously explore podcasting as a new method to reach customers and other businesses. #TechComm #STCorg
