We hope you're enjoying the live recordings of Podcast Insider on Facebook recently. We're keeping this up until the world calms down a bit. Without a Blubrry podcaster guest this week, we had Dave Clements from the support team join Todd and Mike to discuss how he got started, what he does for the team and more. Before we dive in with Dave, they discuss a few company releases and partnerships, events and tools to stay organized.

Thanks for joining us this episode of Podcast Insider. Looking to be a guest on the show? Let us know.

Recorded live from three well-separated and socially distant podcast studios in Michigan and Indiana, here’s a Podcast Insider show LIVE.

Best Practice:
1st We’re here to help you, the podcasters. That’s why we’re available via email, phone and video.

2nd Here are some useful tools to help you stay organized.

Calendly, a great way to handle guest booking. (Todd uses)
Schedule Once, also a good way to book calls. (Mike uses)
Reaching your audience: Mailchimp, TinyLetter and other email services. Mike and Todd use Google Groups, but it’s not nearly as robust as other options.
Google Docs, the almighty online resource for collaboration, especially good for show notes with multiple hosts.

And of course if you’re looking for a team to handle these things, head on over to BlubrryPro.com

Accidentally added a season to your show in PowerPress? So did we. Double check your settings for Apple Podcasts in the plugin and if you have added a season or two, you can easily edit them out. But, we’re planning now to fix this in a new version of PowerPress.
One-on-one consulting with customers is booked two weeks out. Please be patient and we’ll do our absolute best to assist via email and phone. We do have loads of videos here.
You don’t need permission, but you probably need some guidance. And by that, we mean please ask us before you move your website to something other than WordPress. There are multiple requirements before moving, and it is way, way easier to do it properly before than to fix after the fact...
