Intro\n\nRandy shares what motivated him to create a podcast.\n\nEveryone has a podcast, right? Why did I create one?\n\nIf every person on the internet started a podcast, that just gives us a bigger chance that we\u2019ll find something we\u2019ll like to listen.\nNow it is estimated that there are over 750,000 podcasts, equating to over 30 Million episodes, as of June 2019. This is according to Podcast Insights.com. https://www.podcastinsights.com/podcast-statistics/\nPodcast Insights broke these numbers down a little more to show that 50% of all homes are podcasts fans.\nWhy did I jump into podcasting?\nThe whole reason I got into computing in the first place was because I\u2019m a lifelong musician.\nI haven\u2019t made a dollar off of this. I have a real, day job. Could this become a real, full-time, job? I don\u2019t care, I\u2019ll do it for free, forever \u2013 it\u2019s fun and I\u2019m probably helping someone.\nThere are many, many groups on Facebook, Reddit, etc, where people are donating their time and skills to answers the questions of other aspiring podcasters.\nThis Facebook Group is called \u201cPodcasters\u2019 Support Group\u201c, with a key contributor being Helen Austwick Zaltzman\nFollow our Podcast\n\nIf you\u2019re a new listener to the Manly Hanley Podcast, we would love to hear from you.
