Buzzcast = the best way to stay in the know
I’ve been listening to Buzzcast since the first episode, and have enjoyed it thoroughly! It keeps me in the loop on what’s happening in the industry, helps me understand best practices/trends, and has been my go to for podcast motivation! I also love the evolution of Buzzcast. One of my favorite changes, was when Jordan was brought on as an official cohost during the April 29th, 2022 episode. She’s been a beacon of joy and rescued us from the weekly brofest. (Haha! That was fun too!) Love this podcast!!!
