To me, you should start a podcast if you want to: Build a strong network and/or showcase your strong network  Gain expertise and/or showcase your expertise Promote a specific topic or way of thinkingAttempt to satisfy your insatiable curiosity Podcasts are an amazing tool to build and strengthen relationships, both with your guests and your listeners. Not only do they act as your opportunity to openly “pick someone’s brain” in a way that’s helpful for them too, but they also create a bat signal to find other like minded people. Further, each interview is a forcing function to learn enough about a topic to not look dumb — podcasts are an incredible way to learn about topics you wouldn’t otherwise study.
