Hardly the standard-issue playbook for podcasting success! And yet well over a million smart, curious and exceedingly busy humans…
Active swarm energy. Strong reception, real community buzz.

“LOL. I was listening to this on a podcast, and right after they talked about jacking up their ad % they threw a sponsor message in there. Masterstroke.”
