Episode 5102
Published 1 month ago
Description
Daniel's wrestling with a familiar problem: he's proud of his podcast, but the idea of promoting it feels gauche. In this episode, we unpack the cultural scripts that make self-promotion feel like a moral failure, why the "Irish modesty" reflex is a miscalculation, and how to make sincere, specific asks that respect both your audience and yourself. We also discuss why word of mouth is the single biggest discovery channel for podcasts, and how to distinguish a genuine request from spam.
