    The demand for Latino Podcasts is Here! Lets look at the data - Ep. 35

    Send us Fan Mail I recorded this episode from my car while my daughter is in dance class. I have my microphone plugged into my phone and my laptop beside me. It is not a perfect studio setup, but it gets the job done. I mention this because it's easy to think you need the perfect environment or a massive budget to start a podcast. You don’t. All you really need is your story and the courage to share it. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the power of representation. I know life feels fragile, especially with recent news, and that is exactly why I feel such a strong pull to encourage you to start now. We have a unique opportunity to build our own tables, invite the people we love to them, and say exactly what we need to say. You don’t need permission from anyone else to start, and that is the beauty of this medium.  💬 In This Episode, You'll Learn: Over half of the Latino podcast audience wants more Spanish-speaking podcasts.Less than 12% of all podcasts are in Spanish. Less than 7% of podcasts are hosted by WOC.  🔥 Key Takeaways: This isn’t just about statistics; it is about connection. The audience is there; they are waiting for you. Stop trying to make everything perfect and just start!  📌 Resources Mentioned: Join the Cohort: Email Heidy at heidy@heidydelacruz.comSign up for Behind The Mic Podcast NewsletterApply for 1:1 - Online Business Coaching with Heidy De La Cruz📧 Email Heidy with questions: heidy@heidydelacruz.com✨ Connect with Heidy: Instagram: @coachingwithheidy Website: https://www.coachheidy.com/  Sign up for Behind The Mic Podcast NewsletterP.S.
