How Podcasts are Shaping the Entertainment Industry

Podcasts are no longer just a niche form of media; they’ve become a significant force in the entertainment industry. 

Major celebrities, influencers, and entrepreneurs—like Joe Rogan, MrBeast, and Markiplier—have harnessed the power of podcasting, or guest starring in podcasts, to build personal brands, run fundraisers, and create highly engaged communities. There are many platforms like Youtube, Spotify, and Twitch to name a few, that are massively popular and host podcasters. 

For businesses, podcasting is a powerful way to raise brand awareness, promote products or services, and build a loyal listener base.
