Listening to a podcast creates an intimate experience, allowing listeners to feel a connection with the speaker.

The relationship between a podcast host and their audience is unique, as listeners often feel a personal connection, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the host's character.

My favorite project was a seven-minute talk on product strategy that unexpectedly raised my profile as a public speaker.

I reached out to you for this podcast because I have a mental image of you as a podcast host, and I wanted to explore that connection further.

I started my podcast, The Social Radars, to reconnect with the startup community and share stories of triumph and failure from founders. I wanted to create informal conversations with startup founders so people could understand the real stories behind the startups, rather than just scripted media messages.

Podcasts didn't fit into Product Hunt's content ecosystem, so we decided to focus on product discovery instead, even though there's potential in podcast discovery.

The rise of podcasts creates space for authentic conversations, allowing listeners to be real with themselves.

Podcasts serve as a powerful storytelling medium, and it's essential to have a compelling story that resonates with the audience.
