You launched the show six months ago. The first ten episodes booked themselves: friends of the founder, two clients, a former coworker, and a contact from that one conference. Your early podcast networking happened organically, with a Slack message here, a LinkedIn reply there, and it felt effortless. Then episode eleven came around. The well … Read more

You scheduled the interview six weeks ago. You sent the calendar invite, the prep doc, and the friendly reminder yesterday. Your recording light is set up, your second cup of coffee is steaming, and then the email lands at 9:47 AM: “So sorry, something came up, can we reschedule?” If you have run a podcast … Read more

You wrote what felt like a solid pitch. Researched the brand, matched it to your audience, kept it tight. Hit send. Then nothing. Not even a polite no. Here is what most podcasters never find out. The average marketing inbox at a mid-size brand receives 40 to 60 partnership pitches every single week. Yours did … Read more
