In the second article in our series about podcasts, we talk more with two EO members who launched online audio shows in 2019. In part one, we covered three questions to answer before you launch. 

Sarah Bartholomeusz is a member of the EO Adelaide chapter and founder of You Legal, a law firm that provides tailored corporate and commercial legal solutions. Her podcast, Accountants on Purpose, features interviews with accounting industry professionals.

Erik Olson is a member of EO Southeast Virginia and the founder and CEO of Array Digital, a website design and digital marketing agency. He launched his daily Journey to $100 Million podcast in early 2019.

WHY ARE PODCASTS SO POPULAR TODAY?

You may be surprised to learn that the first podcast dates back to 2004, when former MTV video jockey Adam Curry and software developer Dave Winer developed what is largely considered the first podcast. According to at least one version of the story, Curry created a program called iPodder. It let him download Internet radio broadcasts to his iPod.
