Last week, I published the first episode of a brand new podcast. As part of the run up to that, I shared the upcoming publish info with various industry newsletters, and asked if they'd be willing to share with their readers.

As a result, the first episode received over 1,000 listeners on day one, many of which came from these newsletters. Here's why you should be pitching your podcasting news, and some do's and don'ts around that.
