Confessions of a podcast binge-listener (Send help!)


Howdy Reader!

I just spent the last week binge-listening to Malcolm Gladwell's "Revisionist History" podcast, and now my brain is absolutely buzzing with fascinating historical twists I never knew about. (Anyone else find themselves randomly sharing podcast facts at dinner parties? Just me? 😅)

That got me thinking about all the amazing podcasts I might be missing out on. Sure, Time magazine just dropped their "100 Best Podcasts of All Time" list, but I trust YOUR recommendations way more than any magazine's picks.

So here's my question: What's your go-to podcast? The one that makes you say "Oh, you HAVE to listen to this!" when someone asks for recommendations?

It doesn't have to be business or marketing-focused. It could be true crime, comedy, history, or even a show about competitive paper airplane folding (is that a thing? If not, it should be!).

Hit reply and let me know your must-listen shows. I promise to check them out!

Speaking of podcasts... did you know we have our own? The Social Media News Live podcast is where we break down the latest social media strategies and interview amazing creators. You can catch it right here.

(And yes, ratings and reviews make us do happy dances, but even better? Tell a friend about it!)

Fun fact: We also produce podcasts for some pretty incredible folks, like Guy Kawasaki and Agorapulse. If you know anyone looking for top-notch podcast production, send them our way. Creator friends make the best references!

And speaking of creator friends... I'm beyond excited that so many of them will be at CEX this year! Lou Mongello, Paul Gowder, Katie Brinkley, and Justin Moore will all be sharing their wisdom, and I'm truly honored to be sharing the stage with such incredible people.

If you're on the fence about attending, use code CEXDAY to save big when registering here: https://cex.events/

Hit reply and let me know if you'll be there - I'd love to chat IRL!

See ya around the interwebs,

-Jeff

Howdy Reader! Most of you know I love Ecamm. And I mean love love. I was a fan long before they ever sponsored the Friday live show. I’ve made real friendships with the team, and I use it multiple times every single week. So when they told me what they were building next… yeah, there may have been a happy dance involved. Let me introduce you to something new: Dual Mode. And honestly? This changes how you think about creating video. Dual Mode lets you design, record, and stream in horizontal...

Howdy Reader! Is Facebook actually paying creators again? I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about monetization, bonuses, and new tools… but most people still have no idea how it really works or how to qualify. So this week on Creator News Live, I’m bringing in Paul Gowder. Paul’s been building and monetizing online communities for over 25 years, and he’s breaking down what’s really going on with Facebook right now. We’re talking about: How Facebook monetization actually works What the $3,000...

Howdy Reader! I’ve gotta say… I did NOT expect the responses I got from that last email. Seriously. I asked about your “wait… what?!” story, and you delivered. I heard from: Someone in a Blues Brothers cover band A lawyer/magician who opened for some pretty incredible acts And a bunch more that made me stop and go, “Okay, that’s awesome…” And that was just scratching the surface of what people wanted to share. There are a LOT of interesting people on this list. (Yes… that includes you.) Which...
