About this episode
Since its founding in 2014, Acast has become a global, publicly-traded company. Their business has touched many facets of the podcasting landscape – from building a hosting platform used by more than 125,000 podcasts to acquiring companies like Pippa, RadioPublic, and Podchaser. Acast also launched and shuttered its own app.
In this episode, Acast’s CEO Ross Adams joins me to discuss the company’s history, their strategy moving forward, and how Acast has become the podcast company with the most global downloads, according to Podtrac.
To learn more about Ross you can find him on LinkedIn.
