Ep. 35: Podcasting Phenom, Danny Miranda

In September 2020, at the age of 25, Danny published Episode 1 of a long-form interview podcast called simply: The Danny Miranda Podcast.

34 months later, The Danny Miranda Podcast reached the milestone of one million plays (including downloads and YouTube views).

It is in the top 1% of all podcasts in the world in terms of its reach, and as of our recording date he has released a staggering 414 episodes.

Danny interviews some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and thinkers on his show, and he has recently released a course entitled “Art of Interviewing” for those who wish to learn from his experience about how to attract guests, do research, and conduct the highest-quality interviews possible.
