  • My favorite of all the marketing podcasts.

    This is the only one I actually wait for and listen to as soon as it comes out. I will admit I miss the longer format (it was great for when I was making dinner!) but I’d rather have shorter episodes than none at all. The information is always up to date, presented in a way that both informs and entertains, and seems well-researched and thought-out. In addition to being an author myself I work in the self-publishing industry and recommend this show regularly to our author clients.

  • Brian Solo Is The Way To Go

    Been listening since the Jim days. I’m glad Jim is gone. I’m glad Clair is gone. I hope Brian will have the confidence to stay solo. He’s really all we need.
