Quote examples
Pamela Druckerman
American Writer
And as a mother of three with a full-time job, podcasts gave me the illusion of having a vibrant social life. I was constantly 'meeting' new people. My favorite hosts started to seem like friends: I could detect small shifts in their moods and tell when they were flirting with guests.

Quote examples
Sara Pascoe
English Comedian
It's interesting that reading, like listening to podcasts, is a lone pursuit, one where we keep our mouths shut and let someone else do the talking. Where we absorb rather than emit. By occasionally isolating ourselves, we can more successfully, more generously, socialise.

Quote examples
Bill Burr
American Comedian
I don't take anything from the podcast and bring it to my act, because I feel like that's been burned, unless I feel like I can really develop it beyond two or three jumps beyond what I said on the podcast.

Quote examples
Betty Gilpin
American Actress
With all the stuff that's going on in the world - after I watch the news, read the news, and listen to my podcasts, at the end of the day, am I really going to watch an episode of murder and time travel?

Quote examples
Bobby Bones
American Entertainer
I don't think I ever won't do radio. I feel like, between the radio, the podcast, the books, even social media, you have to be a personality eleven places now, or you're not a personality anywhere.

Quote examples
Lauren Lapkus
American Actress
The podcasts that keep my attention are those where I can feel the hosts and guests are enjoying themselves or are really passionate about the subject matter.

Quote examples
Mina Kimes
People don't want to watch television or listen to the radio or listen to podcasts for perfect. They want personality.

Quote examples
Chelsea Peretti
American Comedian
I think that with podcasts, a lot of things are about fostering and having a direct connection with the community.

When I started my own podcast, I realized I definitely wanted to do characters.
