I started podcasting in early 2018, but never really focused on a steady recordings or releases. Then, December, 2018, when I learned how many people were tuning in to podcasts all over the world, I got serious.
I took an online class. I created my artwork, gave my show a name, and was recording and releasing regularly.
I also was honored to have "In the Know!!" accepted on 13 broadcasting platforms, including iTunes.
I partnered with Chartable. They track of all my episodes and give me the statistics.
My iTunes stats for “In the Know!” are as follows:
