But that is only the beginning for podcast's potential. Non-profits and organizations can give quick updates on their projects and items. The possibilities are endless. However, the experience and professionalism behind a lot of podcasts scares many into saying no to trying to create similar content, since they feel like they are not up to the industry standard. However, podcasting is a lot easier than you could ever think. There are award-winning podcasts that are done with the simplest possible set-up, and are enjoyed by thousands of people. Besides, if people are interested in the content, then they will listen, whether or not your content was recorded in a professional studio, or your basement.
