Celebrities are famous people either idolized or ridiculed by the general populous. Often celebrities produce their own podcasts or are the subject of a podcast. The role of celebrities in the podcasting industry is an ambiguous one as podcasting develops from infancy. Celebrities, by drawing in greater audiences from those that follow them (or at least keep them on their radar), attract larger crowds to the world of podcasting. Dolly Parton's unique interviewing skills and larger-than-life personality certainly helped add good content to the Dolly Parton's America podcast, but her loyal fans, of which there are 13,463,033 monthly listeners on Spotify alone, likely had an interest in investing time into hearing a podcast that praises her. Celebrities and podcasters alike can use fanbases to garner more listeners and paint their image the way that they wish to be seen in the eyes of the public.
