Travis Chappell 🎙️

Let me hit you with a stat real quick:

🎙️ There are over 4 million podcasts listed online.

But only about 450,000 of them are active—meaning they've released an episode in the last 90 days.

That means nearly 90% of podcasts are inactive.

So no, the podcast space isn’t "too crowded." It's mostly a ghost town of people who gave up too soon.

Anytime someone tells me podcasting is too saturated, I ask:

“Are you on Instagram?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay… why? There are 2 billion users on there. You know how many people are posting content daily?”

Same with TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn—you name it.

We don’t worry about saturation on those platforms.

And nobody stresses about it when they write a book, even though millions are published each year.

Start that motherf*cking podcast.
