NEW YORK—Echoing an old line, it seems to be the best of times, and the worst of times, for podcasts and podcasters.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Like most fourth years, I had expected to spend the last months of optometry school seeing patients in clinic, with a focus on becoming licensed in my state, of course, and job hunting.
