The Podcast Boom: Too Many Mics

Let’s be honest… Everyone has a podcast now. And yes — that includes this one. In this episode of The Thistle & Dram, we take a self-aware look at the explosion of podcasting — and ask the question a lot of people are thinking: Are there too many podcasts? Because what started as a niche space for long-form conversation… Has turned into a crowded world where anyone with a mic can hit record. In this episode, we explore: * Why podcasting has become so popular (and so easy to start) * The different types of podcasts we’ve all come across * The gap between having something to say… and just talking * Whether more podcasts mean more value — or just more noise * And yes… whether we’re part of the problem 💬 Join the conversation: Be honest — do you think there are too many podcasts… or are we just getting started?

Are Influencers Running the World Now?

At what point did influencers stop selling products… and start shaping everything? In this episode of The Thistle & Dram, we take a closer look at the growing power of influencers — from the things we buy to the opinions we hold. Somehow, influencers have become: * more relatable than celebrities * more trusted than brands * and in some cases… more influential than traditional media But with that comes a big question: Where does authenticity end… and marketing begin? In this episode, we explore: * How influencers became one of the most powerful forces online * Why we trust them more than we probably should * The shift from selling products to selling lifestyles * When “authentic content” starts to feel like constant advertising * And how influencers are now shaping conversations far beyond social media — including politics 💬 Join the conversation: What’s the last thing you bought because of an influencer… and do you actually trust them?
