Our first YouTube Pod Interview! 📺
<p>Hey Poddy People! </p><p>This special edition of the newsletter includes the much-anticipated video podcast and the continuation of the audio podcast! We were given the opportunity to zoom record the <strong>And That’s Why We Drink</strong> hosts during their current tour and book release. At this moment, the editing is done and shipped. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t need to be. So the length of this newsletter will be relatively short.</p><p><strong>Updates:</strong></p><p>* I started tabulating overall click-through rates from readers to read a “full review”. We have that percentage and depending on the month it ranges from <strong>10-20%</strong>! <strong>10%</strong> was last month because of the viral moment from Reddit. The first 12 days of this month have click-throughs at <strong>18%</strong>. If anyone has ideas on what benchmarks are out there in these types of cases, please reply back.</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/batman-unburied"><strong>Batman Unburied</strong></a> is trending up in search this week on GP thanks to its release on Spotify (Exclusive) and <a target="_blank" href="https://mashable.com/article/spotify-batman-unburied-joe-rogan">“dethroning” Joe Rogan for the #1 spot</a> news cycle. It was tedious to sift through the hundreds of articles to find a couple of reviews, but I did it! Personal excitement: It’s pretty cool to see the analytics in real-time!</p><p>* <strong>Stuttering Awareness Week in SF </strong>- Our pod friend, Maya, has been doing some great work on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kqed.org/news/11913691/meet-three-bay-area-artists-working-to-amplify-the-voices-of-people-who-stutter">Stuttering Awareness</a>. Her podcast is <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/proud-stutter">here</a>. </p><p>On to my picks this week…</p><p><strong>Podcast: And That’s Why We Drink</strong><strong>Genre: True Crime, Paranormal</strong><strong>Publisher: Em Schulz, Christine Schiefer</strong></p><p>As mentioned above, we had the opportunity to interview the hosts of <strong>And That’s Why We Drink</strong>, Em & Christine. </p><p><strong>About:</strong> Grab your wine and milkshakes and join us every Sunday for some chilling ghost stories and downright terrifying true crime stories. The world's a scary place. And that's why we drink!</p><p>They are in the middle of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.andthatswhywedrink.com/live">tour</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.andthatswhywedrink.com/a-haunted-road-atlas">book release</a>, and recording their <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/and-thats-why-we-drink">podcast</a>. Taking the lead in the conversation was a friend of GP, and independent critic, Keelin, from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mentallyamagpie.com">Mentally? A Magpie</a>. Additionally, Keelin contributed to the interview <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/blog/and-thats-why-we-drink-the-interview">write-up for the GP Blog</a>! Thanks, you Rockstar!</p><p>Em and Christine did not disappoint. They were super fun and talkative. Made our jobs much easier. Keelin with great questions that Em and Christine commented on how they normally wouldn’t get these types of questions that got them thinking. There are even fun stories on what kind of gifts they’ve received at meet & greets. 200 human teeth being one of them.</p><p>Learnings on video podcasting: Seeing everyone’s reactions and also dropping in some funny visuals was fun. Hopefully, it works.</p><p><strong>Natalie Griffin • The Game of Nerds</strong></p><p>“Overall, And That’s Why We Drink delivers some dark and disturbing material in a way that is easier to comprehend and come to terms with.”</p><p>Shoutout to indie podcasters & behind the mic folks. I’ve done video editing before, but editing the podcast, zooming windows, framing, and being mindful of the audio is a long process! Thanks, Lisa, from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/metropublicrelations/?hl=en">Metro Public Relations</a>, for setting this up.</p><p><strong>YouTube:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtfkW8Lr-abygZRb6id3-Ag">Subscribe to the Great Pods Channel</a>! Enjoy and give us feedback!</p><p><strong>Podcast: Exit Scam</strong><strong>Genre: True Crime, Crypto</strong><strong>Publisher: Treats Media</strong></p><p>This recommendation came from an unexpected source—my dreams. The current <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2022/05/12/1-trillion-crypto-meltdown-huge-crash-wipes-out-the-price-of-bitcoin-ethereum-bnb-xrp-cardano-solana-terras-luna-and-avalanche/?sh=109368e245fd">Crypto crash</a>, Dr. Strange's multiverse dreams, and a road trip with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7in-9E3ImQ">Dave Matthew</a> from Dave Matthew’s Band all played a role in it. In the end, I woke up to <strong>Exit Scam</strong>. I dropped it in a <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/blog/my-multiversal-podcast-dream">blog post if you want the long story</a>.</p><p><strong>About</strong>: In 2018, Gerald Cotten, the founder of Canada's biggest Bitcoin exchange, died under mysterious circumstances during a honeymoon trip to India. His customers were told that the $215 million they'd deposited on the exchange was lost forever — because Gerry had forgotten to leave behind his passwords. But here's the thing: Not everyone believes he's dead. <strong>Exit Scam</strong> is about what really happened to Gerald Cotten and the fortune that disappeared with him.</p><p>I looked it up on GP and started listening. It’s pretty good so far! The host, Aaron Lammer comes from the podcast, <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/longform">Longform</a>.</p><p><strong>Nicholas Quah • Vulture</strong></p><p>“It’s kind of a dangerous world that <strong>Exit Scam</strong> gazes into, and Lammer provides a stabilizing, almost comforting presence throughout.”</p><p><strong>Just Added:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/locked-on-celtics-daily-podcast-on-the-boston-celtics-with-rainin-js">Locked On Celtics</a> - John Karalis, Locked On Podcast Network</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/father-wants-us-dead">Father Wants Us Dead</a> - NJ.com</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/ghost-church-by-jamie-loftus">Ghost Church</a> - Cool Zone Media, Jamie Loftus</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/nice-to-meet-you">Nice To Meet You</a> - Gen-Z Media, Wondery</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/stay-away-from-matthew-magill">Stay Away From Matthew MaGill</a> - Pineapple Street Studios</p><p>Stay safe, be empathetic, and be kind!</p><p>Listening with you,Captain Ron</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/">Great Pods</a> is your best friend in podcast discovery.

Bond, James Bond 🕵️
<p>Hey Poddy People!</p><p>Happy <a target="_blank" href="https://internationalpodcastday.com/">International Podcast Day</a>! Celebrate by listening to your favorite podcast or finding your next one on Great Pods.</p><p><strong>Website update</strong>: We released search! It’s in the first iteration with only “title search.” <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co">Try it out!</a></p><p><strong>Twitter Space update</strong>: Edited and uploaded our conversation with Aftershock Co-Creator Ben Haber. More on that below.</p><p>Not much for an intro this week! Let’s go.</p><p>On to my picks this week…</p><p><strong>Podcast: No Time To Die James Bond Podcast</strong><strong>Genre: TV & Film</strong><strong>Publisher: Somethin’ Else</strong></p><p>The behind-the-scenes podcast was starting to get released during the first pandemic postponement of the movie last year. With that one episode, it got a poor review from <strong>Times UK Critic, James Marriot.</strong></p><p>I don’t really know what the spirit of Bond is, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t it."</p><p>It looks like <strong>Somethin’ Else</strong> might have read that review because they definitely re-edited the first episode and took the time to spruce it up with new Zoom interviews.</p><p>With all the episodes released, <strong>The Guardian’s Miranda Sawyer</strong> gave it a more positive review.</p><p>“…you do get a sense of the scale of the production, the weight of Bond’s history, just how staggeringly complicated it is to create a blockbuster that’s familiar but new.”</p><p>I listened to a couple of episodes, especially around the music which was good. Notable guests include Billie Eilish and brother Finneas for the last 10 min in conversation about their song for the franchise.</p><p>It might be a good listen on the weekend. *cough cough</p><p><strong>Chat w/ Aftershock’s Co-Creator: Ben Haber</strong></p><p>We were joined by Ben Haber, feature film & TV producer and co-creator of <a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/podcast/aftershock">Aftershock</a> podcast. He was a great conversationalist and made our first Twitter Space super easy.</p><p>We talked about using Squadcast during the pandemic, story plot points, and future seasons amongst other things. Looking forward to Twitter adding a record feature so I don’t have to come up with my own recording hack.</p><p><strong>You can listen to it above.</strong> </p><p>Thanks to <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/arithisandthat">Arielle</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/IAmKeelinIt">Keelin</a> for co-hosting with me. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/tea_sahara">Kev</a> for some additional questions. The iHeart team (Jenn, Alison, Maria, and Kelsey) for being so accommodating.</p><p><strong>Ben Haber’s picks</strong></p><p>Ben was kind enough to send over what podcast’s he listens to as well. I pulled two of them from the list and gave them a listen. </p><p><strong>Podcast: Tumanbay</strong><strong>Genre: Audio Fiction</strong><strong>Publisher: iHeart</strong></p><p><strong>About</strong>: A vast empire threatened by rebellion. A fiction podcast on an epic scale set in the most powerful city on earth...</p><p>Ben wrote, “That show is extremely well produced and I feel like I'm in the world and the performances and writing are excellent.”</p><p>Based on that recommendation I decided to look into its Critic review and confirm adding it to my queue.</p><p><strong>Kev - Tea In The Sahara</strong></p><p>“The actors used in Tumanbay are quite simply outstanding.”</p><p>I started listening to this podcast and wow it’s grand. With four seasons already in the book, this will nicely fill the void that <strong>Aftershock</strong> has left me. </p><p><strong>Podcast: Astronomy Cast</strong><strong>Genre: Science</strong><strong>Publisher: Dr. Pamela Gay, Fraser Cain (Indie)</strong></p><p>Another one of Ben’s picks is this niche podcast about the stars! I added this to my queue as I do enjoy science and planetary podcasts. </p><p><strong>About</strong>: Hosted by Fraser Cain (Universe Today) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (Planetary Science Institute), this show brings the questions of an avid astronomy lover direct to an astronomer.</p><p>It’s definitely a good old discussion podcast and simplified for us common folk to understand.</p><p><strong>Tom Urbain - Starlust</strong><strong> </strong></p><p>“The strength of the show comes from the host’s ability to turn complicated astronomical content into something that everyone can understand.”</p><p>Stay safe, wear a mask, be kind, and get vaxxed!XOXO</p><p>Captain Ron</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://greatpods.co/">Great Pods</a> is a website that uses podcast critic reviews and ratings to help you find & decide your next podcast listen.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
