Taylor Swift is unintentionally doing WORK for Podcasting lately.

Headlines from her album drop:
- “Taylor Swift drops 'New Heights' nod in 'The Life of a Showgirl' lyrics.”
- “New Heights gets a namecheck in Taylor Swift’s new album.”
- “New Heights gets a namecheck in Taylor Swift’s new album.”

Returned from Podcast Movement late last week to find this book waiting in my mailbox! Perfect timing.

Honored to have an early copy of The Podcast Pantheon by Sean Malin. With a foreword by Jon Hamm!

Book cover that says "The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen" From WTF to Serial.

You wouldn't believe how many companies, creators, and content teams I talk to who've already recorded and edited multiple episodes for a show... and they're yet to publish.
