I wish this podcast were around years ago. Great insights and interviews across a wide range of topics related not only to books, but to any publishing stakeholders.
Thought-provoking podcast about the many uses of data in book publishing. Really hope this helps ignite a revolution of sorts in an industry that can sometimes get ossified & opaque.
This podcast is exactly what I needed from a professional perspective. It can be hard to find time in the day for learning but now I can keep up with trends and issues in my industry while I’m driving or walking the dog. Insightful and interesting.
Great podcast that applies to business beyond publishing. Will be recommending to all my publishing friends and beyond.
