How To Monetize Your Podcast (Without Sponsors!)

Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Josh Taylor. Josh is a podcast host who shares true stories from the Old West era through his history podcast, The Wild West Extravaganza. He also has a companion newsletter that focuses on the same topics. And despite being a forklift operator in real life, Josh is actively seeking a way to transition into a new career path, hopefully through his passion for history and storytelling.
