This time I connected to Colorado.

There I met JJ Ramberg, award-winning television host, bestselling author, and entrepreneur.

After hosting for 13 years a program about entrepreneurship for NBC News Your Business, she now decided to try how does it feel to be behind the scene, co-founding with her brother Ken Goodpods, a peer to peer podcast recommendation app, that seems to become a real game-changer for the podcast industry.

How difficult is to find podcast recommendation and how difficult is for the podcaster to be known?

Recently I have been asked what is the major challenge as an indipendent podcaster. I had no doubt in answering to that and soon I discovered many other podcasters have the same issue: just letting the people know that you even exist. In particular to the ones that already  are familiar to podcast, not necessarily are interested to find recommendations on other social media. 

So far I found twitter quite useful for that scope, but still very dispersive.
It was actually on Twitter where I got in contact with Goodpods for the first time.

The things that I love the most, beside the user friendliness and a lovely graphic, is that you can find single episode according to your mood and interests.

As a podcaster you can engage with the listeners, things to me impossible at the moment with the current platform.
Even harder if you want to get the word out about one episodes, since I touch every time a different topic.
Several top influencers including Dan Harris, Rachel Hollis, Gwynet Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, and brands like The Today Show and Entertainment Weekly have signed up -- giving smaller podcasters an opportunity to tap into a huge pool of listeners.

If you are a podcast lover, I think you should just try, soon available on Android.
If you are a podcaster and your show is on Apple Podcasts, it will automatically be in Goodpods and you have just to do few steps to connect with your profile.

I was so lucky to be one of the first in Europe, so I could choose a simpler username, instead of the classical name22345.
So,  follow my account @flavia e subscribe to my show Small Talks (at midnight), comment on episodes, and share your episodes on your profile! Looking forward to meeting you there!
