Pod Fade, Pod Fears, Pod Events and Pod News

In today’s episode, we’re taking our own advice from yesterday’s show and doing something different with our intro music, making it shorter and getting straight into our chat faster than ever. Nick and I will share our thoughts on why this might be the key to a more engaged audience. Then we’ll share insights and innovations for podcast events. After just attending one, I have some strategies to share that could be game-changers for those planning their own. Stacy Sherman covers some great tips for maximizing audience engagement after an event with tools like Google Forms and QR codes.
