This year, we worked on a lot of great content. Not only did our clients produce a bunch of engaging and thought-provoking episodes, but we also created our own webinars, shows, and podcast episodes. As we reviewed the projects we’ve touched, we realized we had enough for a proper top 10 list, so we picked out our favorites from the past year to highlight. Check them out for yourself!

GNP Webinar

How Marketing and PR Agencies Help Clients Win Big with Podcasts

January 27

We kicked off 2023 with an informative webinar – based on our experience and research in the podcast industry – to share how useful podcasts can be for agencies who need to help their clients make a bigger splash.

Our GM, Lynz Floren, co-hosted along with Trent Anderson from Podchaser, and they addressed the upsides and downsides of:

starting a podcast for your client to host
getting your client to be a guest on podcasts
using other people’s podcast content to build your client’s credibility

The info is still relevant, and you can go back and watch the free replay via this link:

From Idea to Launch: Create and Grow Your Podcast Vision

6 Week Podcast Course

March-May

In 2023, we launched our first course. It was a 6 week course designed to help anyone through the basics of making their podcast come to life from scratch. We had a small but mighty cohort who went through the course and gave us feedback that it was super helpful for them. We’re now working on getting video modules up to allow folks to work through the content on their own timeline. We’ll share a link for that once it’s up real soon!

Five Star Podcast Journal

Available on Amazon

March 15

We’re always taking notes on the podcasts we listen to, so we designed a journal to help us do just that. And then we realized we could make that design available on Amazon and the Five Star Podcast Journal was born. Priced at a reasonable $6.99, it’s a great gift for friends, loved ones, and business associates who talk about podcasts a little too much.
