Summary

Podcasting has never offered more ways to grow your career and your income. Actor, comedian and impressionist Amy Phillips shares how she built her hit show, Drama Darling: A Real Housewives Comedy Podcast, from the ground up. She taught herself production, built an audience without a network and created multiple revenue streams from her home studio. Amy also explains how her podcast became a SAG-AFTRA signatory, making it possible for independent podcasters to apply their earnings toward union health and retirement benefits. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.
