The New York Times (Podcast Groups Aren\u2019t Just About Podcasts)
This article talks about the popularity and the need for Facebook Groups for podcasts
Facebook groups for podcasts like Crime Junkie and Shameless have tens of thousands of members
We all know that podcasting can be very lonely. We are recording in our studios with not much interaction with the outside world. Also, podcasts are consumed in isolation and there is not a comment section for interactions among listeners. This is why Facebook groups have gained popularity among podcasts listeners.
Have you created Facebook group for your podcast yet?

It\u2019s hosted by four people, Billy, Regina, Adrian, and John. They are on the second season. But they\u2019re first episode was on August of 2019.
