  • 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.

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?
