We only had about two and a half minutes of banter! Y’all that’s a record. We HAD to dive into the discussion all about Apple Podcasts charts being manipulated and worthless. Guess who has a new job? Hear all about Jess being Head of Marketing over at Podcast Websites! And we round off our discussion by addressing what to do with your podcast when you have something life-changing happen in your life
