My Podcast (Daily Dub Nation) on Spotify

I have been listening to podcasts for a very long time, whether they are while I am chilling at home or in the car with my dad. I’m a fan of different shows and this summer, I decided to make my own podcast. 

Introducing to you, Daily Dub Nation! My podcast is based around the NBA world and I like to give my thoughts on different events that happen in the NBA. I am also a huge Warriors fan, so the podcast includes a lot of content about the Golden State Warriors. So far, the types of episodes I have been working on include game reactions, responses to rumors, and news updates. I have some exciting plans coming up for the podcast and would love to use my creativity to find new ideas. 

 If you like basketball, this podcast could be for you!

Additionally, if anyone is interested, you can check out the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify by searching “Daily Dub Nation”. If you find it intriguing and would like to hear more, I would appreciate it if you were to follow.

Also, if anyone else has an interest in making their own podcast, you can create an account on Spotify for Podcasters and Apple Podcasts Connect and drop your show there. I am a big fan of the speed and efficiency in the Spotify for Podcasters website and love using it.

Author’s Thoughts

As a Spotify user, clearly I am team Spotify! What really drew me in to purchasing a subscription for the premium version was the multitude of opportunities for me to engage with my friends. I can easily look to see what my friends are currently listening to or even create a playlist with them combining our music tastes through the new Blend feature. Additionally, the overall appearance of Spotify both allows for simplicity and an aesthetically pleasing interface.
