In this episode, I'm sharing my biggest takeaways from attending Podfest, including the ideas that challenged how we think about podcasting, marketing, and trust.

We talk about:

The growing trust gap in online marketing (and why that's actually a good thing)

Why limited-series podcasts are powerful for growth and discovery

How binge-worthy content builds trust faster than endless episodes

What podcast ads can teach us about selling without being salesy
