We participate in a insta live stream and accept call-ins from the Marketing Interns this week. A Marketing Intern is a listener and a learner of the Backpocket Podcast. They listen to our podcast, they love it (allegedly), and tell their friends & family thus marketing our podcast via Word of Mouth.
