1. Stacy has good audio and asks really good "not the norm" questions
2. She is growing her network through her podcast

1. Her description might trigger TLDR as it is VERY long and most of the paragraphs don't add any new information (and savvy people may see the attempt to keyword stuff)
2. The guests audio was a bit harsh. Adjusting the bass and treble would have helped the sound.
3. While she is growing her network, to be seen as a thought leader she needs to put HER thoughts out there via a solo episode(s), or a summary at the end of the episodes
4. As Stacy put it, "My website is a mess." The show player has zero SEO. There are empty pages where resources should be. My suggestion is to use Podpage.

• Stephanie has a great personality, and it shines through the microphone. When she goes on a tangent at the beginning of the show (something I typically frown on), her passion for the writer's strike and sticking up for yourself gives a glimpse into the activists' side of the show.
• I loved the sarcasm in the intro, which let me know we're going to have fun and not take ourselves too seriously.
• Her first question was a great way to get the guests talking about themselves and potentially lead to stories or insights into the guests.
• The Audio sounded good and the interview was very conversational.
• Her transition into her midroll spot was seamless, and the presentation was smooth.

• Her intro could be more specific on who this is for and what the benefit is, and make it shorter.
• While I loved the show's conversational style, a few stories seemed to go off the rails and lose their direction.
• The content doesn't really align with her motivation for positioning herself as someone who could help with art shows or get eyes on her own art for purchase.
• The messaging on the website was different than the podcast (so just tidy that up).
• You might consider developing a lead magnet to grow your show faster.

When you are using your show to position yourself as a thought leader, etc., interview people who know people who should hire you or who should hire you themselves.
