Want to listen to something good? Follow our podcast playlists!
The hard truth: You can't be a great podcaster if you don't also listen to podcasts. There is a huge, diverse world of audio out there, and your audience is exploring it. You should, too.
Word-of-mouth marketing is a proven way to get listeners; in that spirit, we've made podcast playlists to share what we're working on and listening to.
