There must be 50 ways: Participating in democracy #26: Podcast

 Yes, there are many podcasts Out There, but folks who listen to them are periodically searching for those which match their interests. There are many podcasts that are general news, and decreasing numbers for increasingly specialized programs. 

Building listenership is crucial, of course, but even one decider or one influencer listening to you on the regular may make a big difference at some point. As someone who listens to many podcasts, the sound quality is important. Some of the podcasts that might interest me are poorly recorded, or recorded with substandard equipment. Crisp sound with engaging speakers and brevity is attractive to large numbers of potential listeners. 

As with so many other ways to participate in democracy, you do not have to be a registered voter, or even a citizen of the country, to influence how people who do vote think about issues.
