The radio and podcast is growing at a relatively fast space considering studies carried out from 2013 to 2108. Podcast audience has incredibly increased and ad spending is expected to double with over 395 million USD by 2020. However, the industry is rocked by certain challenges. As we all know the government interferes with the media and podcast is not an exemption. Content creators do not have the free license to express themselves; they are governed by certain rules and regulations. Also, it is difficult, not only for beginners but for experienced podcasters to gain maximum audience listenership thereby also making it extremely hard to earn from their job. Most times, they even have to strain themselves financially in order to pay for recording equipment or studio fees. In addition, there has also been a case of ad frauds and fake reviews. Furthermore, even after the hard work displayed by content creators on their channel, their payments are delayed by some weeks even up to months. On top of that they are faced with the reoccurring issue of content theft. How frustrating is that?
Ever heard of the saying that every problem has a solution? This is absolutely correct because PodMiners presents a lasting solution to each of the challenges mentioned earlier and more. PodMiners is a platform based on blockchain technology for podcasting and live radio streaming.
