Kelvin Newman discusses how podcasting can be an important part of an inbound marketing strategy. He notes that podcast listening has grown significantly in recent years, with over 67 million Americans now listening each month. Newman then provides advice on basic podcast production equipment and setups that can be used, from a single person recording on a laptop to more advanced multi-person interview setups. He also discusses hosting and distributing podcasts once recorded.

10. How it all started
Once upon a time, I decided it would be cool to get a
group of SEO mates together in a pub to talk shop.
The idea was to share ideas and chat about all the
interesting stuff that we can’t really talk about with
anyone outside the industry for fear of them falling
asleep.
