Why start a podcast in 2026?
Show notes
Should you start a podcast in 2026? Some people think podcasting is oversaturated. Others think that's nonsense.
In this episode of Too Long Didn't Listen, five podcasters explain why they'd still recommend starting a podcast in 2026.
One guest says podcasts are one of the best ways to build connection and community. Another argues most people should think a lot harder about format before hitting record. One says podcasting can become a content engine for your business. Another says don't even bother unless you've actually got the time for it. So yeah. A fairly balanced conversation.
