Marketing with podcasts

In this week’s episode of the Space Marketing Podcast, we chat with Chris Porter and Jenny Curtis from CurtCo. They are the creative duo of the sci-fi audiodrama SOLAR podcast series. Solar stars Stephanie Beatriz, Tony Award winner Alan Cumming, Academy Award winner Helen Hunt and Jonathan Bangs. It is a great example of space-based entertainment.  CurtCo has 15 different podcasts spanning several genres. Podcasting is becoming a marketing tool for companies.
