Podcast Answer Man

Podcast Answer Man

For the past twenty years, I have been immersed in the world of podcasting. I’ve produced more than fifty-five of my own shows and published over 4,800 episodes. As a podcast consultant, I’ve trained tens of thousands of people on how to successfully launch their show and build a profitable business around their expertise.

Podcast Answer Man is where you can bring every question you have about podcasting. Gear. Workflow. Strategy. Audience growth. Monetization. Industry shifts. The landscape is always changing. I may not have every answer on the spot. I do know how to find the right answer for you, and I’m eager to be of service.

If you want a clear, dependable guide in a noisy industry, this is the place. Each episode is focused on practical insight, proven experience, and the mindset required to create content that serves your audience and supports the business you want to build.

Ask your questions. I’ll help you find your path forward in podcasting.
