  • Perfect niche podcast

    I’ve listened to marketing podcasts in the past and thought to myself, but it doesn’t work like that in my industry. I’ve listened to cybersecurity podcasts and felt like the content was wayyyy above my head. So to find a podcast in the sweet spot for me is so exciting! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this podcast. The first episodes were a treat!
