  • Really useful information

    Rachel Allen had some really interesting things to say and it made me realize the importance of podcasting more than I thought. Building relationships is at the core of what makes us human and it stands to reason that what will help us continue past all the algorithm changes and world catastrophes is really the connections that we make with other people.

  • A must for podcasters!

    I’m not usually a fan of guest interview shows because I usually listen to a show for the host, but this is one of the exceptions for me! Alex brings on guests with such varied experiences that there is always something new to learn. Every episode leaves you with new knowledge and new ways to improve not only your podcast but yourself.

  • Alex Delivers Valuable Content - Fantastic Podcast

    Alex's passion for helping others in the podcasting space is genuine, regarless if you use his services or not, which isn't something you come across very often. He means what he says. This is particularly shown through his character. I am not a Podmatch subscriber (I don't have an interview based podcast), BUT these past months, I've really struggled with continuing my podcast. I felt alone and I reached out to Alex a few times via email over the past few months and shared my struggles.

Creating Podcast Episodes That Listeners Love | Lindsay Graham
Q: Can you talk about the very end of an episode—how to end it back on a high note with energy that makes someone say they can't wait for the next one?
Endings should provide closure and crystallize the core idea of the episode, ideally tying the conclusion to the overarching theme and leaving the audience with a memorable takeaway that motivates them to engage with future episodes.
