Keep it up!
Love this podcast, super helpful insights!!
I love these guys and the info they provide! The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the audio between the two hosts is so different. Matt’s volume is great, but every time Ryan talks I have to turn the volume up just to hear him. I also noticed they drop off the audio at the end of sentences to the point I don’t know what is said. But overall I highly recommend!
The best newsletter podcast

This show centers on building, growing, and monetizing newsletters and creator-led media. Episodes frequently explore growth tactics, audience acquisition, and revenue models—from cohort-based courses and membership programs to sponsorships and events. A notable throughline is the emphasis on quality subscribers, first-party data, and multi-channel strategies (email, YouTube, social), with practical playbooks—from growth hacks to monetization frameworks—that are useful for newsletter operators, creators, and small creative businesses looking to scale. The format often features behind-the-scenes tactics, guest insights from platform founders, and candid discussions about what works in modern audience building and digital publishing.
