  • 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.
