One industry leader believes more podcasters will turn their shows into live events, setting up shop at local venues like pubs and coffee shops, recording in front of a live audience.<\/p>\n
Ozeal Enriquez \u2013 Director of Content Marketing at Q\u2019d Up Audio and founder of Pod Houston \u2013 says \u201cNothing beats the need to connect in person. In 2023, we\u2019ll start seeing more podcasters take it to the stage and give their audience a live, in-person experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an article published in The Content Generation, Enriquez also predicts personal branding will be key to building a quality product:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a reason why big brand companies backed with personal brands are more influential than their competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other predictions include:<\/p>\n
More podcasters will leverage newsletters and email list-building as a way to connect.<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll be more dedicated spaces for podcasters to record their content, such as local libraries and music studios.<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll be a greater representation of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2023, we will see more youth behind the mic podcasting, more people with disabilities sharing stories and breaking down social barriers, and more leaders in the educational system using podcasting as a way to empower and highlight specific issues impacting their community,\u201d says Enriquez.<\/p>\n
