Pretoria, South Africa — 22 April 2025
The latest episode of Become a Podmaster™, the award-winning podcast for creators looking to elevate their shows, has officially dropped. Titled "Finding Your Podcast’s Sweet Spot," this episode dives into one of the most important yet misunderstood strategies in podcasting—niching down.

In a digital world flooded with content, many podcasters worry that narrowing their focus will limit their reach. But hosts Hendrik Baird and Ethan Baird argue the opposite. "A niche doesn’t mean fewer listeners—it means better ones," says Ethan. “The more specific you are, the more likely you are to attract a loyal audience and sponsors who actually care.”

The episode features real-world insights from South African creators like Yazz the Student, Bob Rock, and Gino Arlechino, as well as commentary from members of the South African Podcasters Guild and Solid Gold Podcasts. Together, they explore how to validate your niche, avoid common mistakes, and position your podcast for meaningful growth and monetization.

Whether you’re starting a podcast or trying to scale one, this episode offers practical tools to help you find your focus—and your audience.
