  • In a world full of noise…

    I’m not your usual podcast listener. I prefer AI summaries of transcripts. That’s the beauty of Lorraine’s format. 10 or 15 minutes of clear, concise advice. No fluff. I highly recommend giving this one a listen

  • A sharp, refreshing conversation that goes straight to the point

    A real pleasure to be on this podcast. The questions were sharp and genuinely thought provoking, the exchange felt easy and natural, and the conversation went straight to what actually matters in marketing. No fluff, no detours, just clear thinking and a host who knows how to create space for meaningful dialogue.

  • Good Topics on Marketing

    Lorraine brings together wonderful topics around marketing. I enjoyed learning more about Reddit and other topics by listening to her and her guests. One piece of advice I would give is to change the intro. It is very difficult to hear Lorraine’s introduction through the background noise. In one episode her guest was significantly louder as well. Those are distractions that can ultimately take away from an otherwise awesome podcast.

  • Short, Smart, & Packed with Insight

    I really enjoyed episode 1169 with Danny Kirk and Episode 1170 with Flynn Zaiger both dove into how to use Reddit effectively for marketing, and did it in just 10–11 minutes each. I love the short format; it’s perfect for getting real, practical takeaways without any filler. The host keeps things moving, asks great questions, and makes even complex marketing ideas easy to digest. If you like concise, high-value conversations that leave you smarter in under fifteen minutes, this podcast is a must... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#1170 Subreddits Rule | Flynn Zaiger
Q: What do I do with a newly created subreddit to make it active?
Treat it like a party that needs ongoing conversation: post engaging, non-promotional content, ask questions, start discussions, use cross-posting to reach larger audiences, and consider using direct invitations to join posted via mobile to kickstart participation while maintaining moderation and community standards.
#1170 Subreddits Rule | Flynn Zaiger
Q: What should I know before I dive in?
Begin by building a home base on Reddit with a dedicated profile and consider whether a personal or brand-facing presence will work best for your team size; for smaller teams, a personal presence often resonates more with users, while larger teams may benefit from a brand and a representative account to manage community interactions.
#1168 | When Ghosting Costs You the Deal | Darren Saul | More than a Few Words
Q: Darren, what went wrong?
After a long, multi-step recruitment process, the candidate disappeared right as the offer was being finalized, leaving both client and recruiter with no closure and forcing a restart. The episode explores the importance of upfront qualification and understanding all decision-makers and potential extenuating circumstances.
#1169 | Cracking the Reddit Code | Danny Kirk | More than a Few Words
Q: What's up with Reddit advertising and how should a startup approach it?
Reddit offers some of the cheapest ads, but effectiveness hinges on thoughtful creative and genuine engagement, starting with organic participation and careful targeting within relevant subreddits.
How to See Your Brand Clearly Again | Charlie Sells | 1181
Q: What role does outside help play in keeping a brand on track?
Outside help can serve as a thinking partner or brand guardian, providing an objective check that helps senior leaders stay aligned and prevents overloading the team with too many ideas at once.
