Conversations with podcast creators.
Podtalk is short conversations with podcast creators, that are not just about podcasting… because I like to take the scenic route.
In each episode, I talk with podcast creators about their shows, experiences, what they’ve learned, what motivates them, and… well, everything related to podcasting from the indie creator’s point of view.
