End of the year means a look back at the 12 months and many more episodes that made up the Presentation Thinking pod in 2025. 

Mikey and Molly peel back the curtain on their Spotify Creator Wrapped with analytics and analysis on how we’ve grown in three years and where we’re headed. 

Of course, we recap the top five episodes of the year, best resources for you to carry on into 2026 and our walkout songs. But we also examine what we feel are some pretty clear trends in B2B, storytelling and how to get attention if you’re also producing a podcast and/or making content.

This is an episode for: Growing podcasters, product marketers and everyone that loves an end-of-year review.
