Quotes: 08:25 “I thought it was going to be “BIG” early on. I mean, before Apple even supported it, I quit my day job and went podcasting full time. So that was April 2005, I left a six-figure income to do podcasting. Early on, I thought this had potential to be really big.” 09:11 “Where podcasting comes into play, and the strength is it's a distraction medium. It's something you can listen to while you're doing something else – while you're walking the dog, working out, doing yard work, driving to work, to and from, at work. It's something that you can have going as a distraction, as getting your mind off of the task at hand that's chewing up all your time. This just helps pass the day, and audio has always had that capability.” 17:44 “…when I got to that point where I wasn't worried about the recording anymore, I found it easier to concentrate more on the content of what was going on in the interview, and that helped me really find my voice.” 34:29 “I mean that's what we try to do. We try to help you get out everywhere because you never know where your show is going to take off.” 52:05 “I think everyone should podcast. Everyone has a voice. I think the biggest impediment to getting people into podcasting is always that they don't like the way their voice sounds. I just say, “Well, remember this, Gilbert Gottfried has a podcast, and if he can have a podcast, anybody can have a podcast.” Timestamps: 00:50 Introducing Rob Walch 02:44 The Genesis of Podcasting, and how Rob started in this space 06:52 Who are the influences at the beginning of podcasting? 08:10 When did Rob realize that podcasting will be big? 10:09 Did Rob have a monetization plan when he began in podcasting? 12:03 There is a lot of room for podcasters and it is a very medium niche compared to other platforms 14:37 What would Rob say to a new person who wants to get on board and start their podcast? 16:32 How long did it take for Rob to find his voice? 18:21 In a lot of interviews that he has done, is there any favorite or a really extraordinary one? 21:14 Rob talks about his take on Netflix entering into podcasting. 23:18 Monetization in podcasting – how it works, why people should know it, and what to take action on. 26:44 As a consultant, what is his take on companies stacking out on business without any profits? 33:36 The other platforms that are available in podcasting. 37:15 Who started Libsyn and how did he get affiliated with it? 39:45 How many podcasts is he currently and actively doing? 41:28 The high points of data privacy, and what it looks like without it. 47:15 What is Rob's feeling on the future of podcasting. 50:35 How was Rob's move to Tennessee? 53:08 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O'Connor Spotify Playlist: Did you miss the alumni artists on the dHarmic Evolution?
