Fan Mail
James, Sam, how's it going? This is Alvin from Bud Sprout. All right. So in the Pod News Weekly Review Inbox, you've got this great stinger, uh, Boostigram, Super Comments, Zaps, Fan mail, Super Chat, email. And I hope you have space for one more because we just launched voicemail for fan mail. So listeners can now send voice messages straight to a podcast like I'm doing right now. Uh then you'll be able to read the transcript of what I send. You can listen to the audio. You can download the audio and use it in your podcast. I've always loved those end of the year episodes that you do with the wrap ups, uh, where you get all the supporters to send in uh audio messages and then you play them on the podcast. And my hope is that this will make it easier for other shows to do something similar. Thanks for everything you do, and thanks for a great show. Talk soon.
Thanks for the super nice Cohost AI mention after the interview with Barry! - Kevin
loving the show and the fact it is so actionable and tactical is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work
"Podcasts equal liberty and freedom. The notion that anybody can put up a podcast and be listened to as much as anybody else is important to me." I loved this quote!
long time listener, first time poster, I love making you part of my weekly routine and my partner even has a pet name for you both "the podlings"! Thanks :)
