  • Best part of my morning news cycle!

    Daniel, I found your podcast by chance, when I selected different news channels to play when I tell my Google home to play the news each morning. And it’s been my favorite episode during my morning routine listen. Thanks for the entertaining information. I’m just a casual social media user, but love learning, and this scratches that itch. Keep killing it!

  • Excellent Podcast

    I’m new to The Instagram Stories Podcast, having listened to only the recent (and outstanding) Taylor Lorenz interview. I found that Daniel asked many of the same questions that I would have wanted answers to.

    Daniel is prepared, thorough and insightful. His style is informative and friendly. If the Lorenz interview is any indication of the level of outstanding audio journalism, this podcast will be at the top of my weekly playlist.

  • Thank You Daniel Hill!

    I recently discovered this podcast, and have been binging on the episodes! I get so much value, and ideas that I can implement, as well as the education that I can pass along to my clients!

    I am a social media 101 coach that caters to baby boomers, and there is SO much to learn (and teach), so we can compete in this online world, even though we didn’t grow up with a device in our hands!

    Thank you Daniel Hill! 👩🏻‍💻
