Podcasting has exploded in recent years, making it one of the most popular platforms for sharing ideas. But with so many shows out there, it can feel daunting to start something new.

"Hi, I’m Josh! I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast about urban gardening—it’s a topic I’m passionate about, and I feel like there’s a lot of value I could share with others.

Is there still room for new podcasters to break through in 2025, and if so, how can I find an audience and make sure my show doesn’t get lost in the shuffle?"
