Have you ever wondered what it might look like if you were added to the slate of a podcast network and slapped that seal of legit to your show? In this episode, I’m going to take you through exactly what a podcast network is and the pros and cons of joining one.

As a podcaster, you’ve likely worried you’re lost in the sea. But did you know that if you’ve released more than twenty episodes, you’re in the top 1% of podcasts in the world? So you’ve passed that magic number of twenty, you have a loyal audience, your brand is established… what could possibly be missing? Maybe you just can’t help but *wonder* what it might look like if you were added to the slate of a podcast network.

What is a podcast network? Simply put, it’s what we in the biz refer to as a “slate” of shows. These shows are selected and represented by one company who is curating their dream team.

I’ll help you decide if you’re ready to take that next step and if you have what they’re looking for. Make sure you stick around until the end of this episode for the insider list of our favorite female-centric podcast networks.
