Dan: Why is podcasting so powerful?

Annemarie: Podcasting is so powerful because it gives you a very unique way to communicate with your audience, customers, leads, and potential buyers. Even though it seems like a one-way communication it's absolutely not.

A host may be speaking or interviewing a guest. This seems very one way but it actually opens up lots of opportunities for dialogue with your audience.

One of the things I found after nearly 13 years in podcasting, in comparison to a medium like blogging is: there’s a level of connection, I’ve gotten feedback from my audience and some of them turned into clients.

I’ve not seen this in any other medium. It’s almost as if your audience is there as you are communicating. The way you actually communicate on a show, that’s going to make a difference too, in how you engage your listeners. But it is a deeper connection.
