Listeners often feel as though they are part of a genuine community. For example, many people who listen to http://forimmediaterelease.biz (For Immediate Release: The Hobson and Holtz Report) have identified themselves on a Frappr map at the FIR blog. We've gathered for dinner when hosts Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson visit our locales. People comment frequently on the show because they feel a part of it. Now, you'd have to ask Shel and Neville whether hosting their podcast has helped to expand their businesses. I'd guess they'd say yes.<BR/><BR/>I have made many contacts because of my own show. Ane some of my listeners have hired me to help them get their own podcasts off the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
