PODCAST TIP
Repurposed podcast content is essentially taking existing material from other forms of medium and converting it into an audio format. This can be a smart strategy to expand your audience base, especially targeting those who find listening more convenient than reading blogs or watching videos. The process doesn't require creating brand new content but merely reshaping what already exists, making it a time-efficient way of extending the lifespan of your existing work.
Pros:
Saves time in creating original content for the podcast.
Allows podcasters to provide more information on topics they may not have had the time or expertise to cover themselves.
Gives podcasts access to quality materials without having to search for new ideas all the time.
