Miguel Gonzalez
Owner
Miguel Gonzalez is the owner of PodcastDB, a dynamic platform designed to help users discover, analyze, and connect with podcasts across a wide variety of niches and sizes. Based in Naples, Florida, Miguel brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial drive, tech industry acumen, and a strong background in sales and marketing to the podcasting world.
Miguel’s journey into the podcasting space began when he acquired PodcastDB from its original creator, George Ledge, a programmer with deep technical expertise but limited experience in marketing and sales. Recognizing the platform’s potential, Miguel took the reins, initially handling all business development responsibilities while continuing to collaborate with George on making the platform more user-friendly and responsive to customer needs.
Although Miguel openly admits to “knowing nothing about tech” from a programming perspective, his extensive background in sales—having worked for five years selling aviation software as well as completing an internship at Gartner—enabled him to shape PodcastDB into a client-centric resource. Under his leadership, PodcastDB has evolved to support podcast hosting, offering highly responsive customer service and continuous improvements based on user feedback. Miguel’s small team prides itself on treating every client as their most important, aiming to address issues within 48 hours and actively seeking out feedback for product enhancements.
Beyond hosting, Miguel has positioned PodcastDB as a critical tool for outreach, housing a comprehensive and constantly updated database of over 3.4 million podcasts. This allows users—ranging from public relations professionals and email marketers to podcasters and aspiring guests—to easily access episodes, emails, social links, and audience data to maximize their reach and connect with the right podcasts.
