I've had long-Covid for 2-½years and am back to about 80%, so forgive me. Today was the first time in a loooong time that I've read your complete newsletter.

Clearly, there were reasons.

Aside from everything you said hitting all the right notes for me** I learned about Elsie from you. I've been doing this for 19 years, Dave, and I really believed podcasting (not CorpCasting)—and Libsyn—were the last bastions of a flesh-and-blood, human-based business filled with people who cared about doing their jobs well and being rewarded for it.

HA!

Shame on me.

Personally, I'm still trying to rescue my premium episodes after Libsyn turned off the lights on the dedicated apps and premium content, but this? This is truly a nail in the coffin. You were generous and kind to the company—and I respect that.

I don't know that I will be able to do the same.

**—including how do we fight the subscriptionizing of our lives and get back to @#$& blogrolls instead of ads and algorithms—

I'd like to see strategies for internal podcasts. Is it that different from external facing podcasts?

Do you mean for a company or for a "premium" podcast for paying customers?

I mean for a company, I should have been clearer

I've never talked about this on the SOP, but I did on my "short show" called "Your podcast consultant." https://www.podcastconsultant.com/corporate-podcast/ I should bring this over to the SOP.

A couple of things, I think I will schedule a call with you and discuss, could be an episode for SOP or ATPC
