Then the Internet came and the monopoly of the networks was broken forever. Nearly anyone could be a content producer or develop a show to share on YouTube, Vimeo or other platforms. In fact, 500 hours of new content is being uploaded to YouTube every minute. This amounts to 720,000 hours of content each day. Imagine how big Google's hard drives are to hold all that information.
Two decades ago the concept of RSS feeds was emerging and Podcasting began to emerge as a viable force. Podcasters are similar to radio programs except they use audio files that can be played on the listener's devices. Just as there are millions of people uploading videos to YouTube and Facebook, so too there are currently 850,000 podcasters who have produced over 30 million podcast episodes.
Many podcasters produce a series in which a host or hosts interview guests on a theme or cover news around a related topic. It should come as no surprise then that there are literally hundreds of podcasts for diesel enthusiasts.
One way to find channels you like is simply to Google it. Here's a popular one called Diesel Performance Podcast. DPP has been archiving shows since 2015. Recent topics include:
Talking Fabrication and Sled Pulling with Jason Wehrli
Frank Kuperman of RevMax
Black Friday 2020
Reasonable Upgrade Lists for Every 6.6L Duramax
There are a wide variety of ways to listen to your favorite programs. You can subscribe via RSS, listen on Apple Podcasts, download to your laptop, email to your iPhone, listen on Stitcher or Spotify or head over to YouTube. In short, the power is in your hands.
The best part is, if you think you can do better then you can share your own Diesel interests with a podcast of your own. If you do, leave a comment and tell us about it.
