This Mobile Life


Aug 4, 2016

This episode is a podcast about podcasts! I describe the journey of making a podcast. Also the latest in mobile audio world. There's a discussion about Soundcloud, Spotify and Amazon's foray into podcasts with Channels. I've now got 800 subscribers in 10 months. I wanted to have 1,000 subscribers so 80% of the way there :) At the end of the day, it wasn't about numbers. The purpose was to share the conversations we have everyday in our industry about mobile and to teach people about mobile. Plus have some fun! I'm a huge fan of podcasts and believe it's a a great platform to reach people. Anyone can create their own radio station. Thank you for being on the podcast journey with me - Matt. SOURCES 1.
