Welcome to the latest edition of Creator Collab House. I’m your host, Simon Owens. For those who don’t know me, I write a media industry newsletter you should definitely check out. Today’s featured creator is Brian McCullough, the voice behind Techmeme Ride Home
What kind of growth have you seen in your analytics over the past year when it comes to Spotify consumption? Is that platform growing faster than all the others?
What are your longterm ambitions to scale this beyond the Techmeme Ride Home? You eventually want to have daily podcasts in several different categories, right?
You mentioned that appearing on another podcast is the best way to grow your audience. How do you choose which other podcasts to advertise on and whether they're worth the investment? Also, how do you get other podcasts to bring you on as a guest? Are you actively pitching them?
