So, it seems people like the show #listen😆

One concern I had was that I would run out of people to talk to. As you expect, I have a spreadsheet where I’m keeping track of the outreach efforts. I want to be thorough, without being a pest. That spreadsheet has 30 guests who I’ve now talked with!

…and it has _35_ more guests in various stages of outreach, (or lined up next for me to reach out to.) Only two people have said no-thank-you … so at this point, I feel like I’m going to have an infinite supply of amazing people with whom to have cool conversations. What a pleasant “problem.”

Another thing that surprised me, is that several guests have now asked if they can have the audio from the episode to use for their own shows. What?! **Well of course you can!** I updated the “how to be a guest page” to mention this.

If you’ve been on the show — hmmm, maybe I should make a badge for that 🤔 — you’re welcome to the raw audio of your episode. Just reach out and tell me how I can get 250Mb of files to you—they don’t fit in email 🙂

I’m feeling humbled, and I hope you find something that amplifies your enthusiasm for the art of podcasting!

Wonderful & Atta Guy!  
Happy to help fill in the spreadsheet @craigconstantine  
I always share my podcasts with my guests, post them on my website & add those where I’ve been a guest.  
Each One Lift One - that’s how we roll  
Dropbox may be the answer - free - it’s what I use to get the work to/from sounds guy & my Part 1/2 is longer than these smaller listens
