Get Listeners — Episode 1: Hi, It’s Been a While
Episode Summary
What happens when you stop overthinking podcasting and just hit record?
In this first episode of Get Listeners, Espree shares why she’s launching an informal, experimental mini-podcast series about everything she’s learned from more than a decade in podcasting.
After discovering 240 subscribers on a newsletter she hadn’t opened in over a year, she was reminded that people are still interested in podcasting. So she decided to start sharing what she knows, without overthinking the process.
No fancy production. No hours of editing. Just a microphone, an iPhone, and a willingness to experiment.
Think of this series as a phone call or a mini masterclass on what it takes to become a professional podcaster, from someone who’s spent years doing the work.
The goal? Have fun, get creative, let go of the algorithm, and remember that creating something should be enjoyable.
