@dru_riley, congrats on the launch of your podcast! 🎉🎉🎉
(And thanks for using Transistor.fm for your podcast hosting!)
One quick tip: add a trailer episode.
https://transistor.fm/trailer/
A trailer helps hook a listener's interest, allowing them to preview your content without committing to a full 30-40-minute episode.
Also, most podcast listening apps feature the trailer episode prominently in their UI with a special CTA. You'll miss the opportunity if you don't have a trailer episode in your feed.
I would recommend publishing a trailer episode and backdating it to November 1, 2023. This will order it before your first episode. You don't have to give it an episode number. Just mark the "Episode type" as "Trailer" before you backdate it and click publish.
@mijustin Thanks Justin. Transistor has been great so far. QQ: Can an episode be a normal episode and trailer? i.e. I would like to make our first episode on competitor risk the trailer episode. Not seeing a way to duplicate the episode. So wondering if it's possible for this to be both?
@dru_riley you have to either mark it as "Full", "Bonus", or "Trailer."
It would be fine to mark it as a trailer, but it might confuse some listeners.
(You could always mark it as a trailer for now, and change it later)
I already listened to 3 episodes and it's now my favorite podcast by far. Every episode is a little gem.
@kattrisen Wow Katt! This means a lot. Thanks for listening and for the support.
Trends.vc has been one of my top newsletters over the past few years here. It’s worth opening up every single one. Now with the podcast it’s exciting to view (or rather, listen to) these trends through an additional lens and dive deeper with audio - have these queued up for my work week and they’ve quickly become one of my new top podcasts as well. Always top quality from Dru! 🏆
@modernafflatus Hey Ash, thank you for supporting us all these years and for checking out the Trends Podcast. We're excited about the new format as well!
@modernafflatus Thanks Ash! Appreciate your support in the early days and now. Super grateful 👊
It's rare you seem someone execute on the level that Dru does on a regular basis. He doesn't just throw himself into things unless he knows the quality is going to be elite. This is exactly the case with the Trends podcast. The newsletter - immense. The podcast, a worthy additional format. Great work, Dru!
@jmckinven Thanks James! This means a lot coming from a podcast vet like you. Huge fan of Indie Bites and grateful that you had me as a guest.
Just checked out a couple of episodes. I like it. One thing though... I think you uploaded the raw version of #0064...
@danischenker Thanks for catching this Dani! Will get this fixed. Appreciate the support on the launch.
@dru_riley provides incredible and useful insights in each issue of Trends. It is hard not to get excited for each publication. Full of gems
@dru_riley @shaunnestor Thank you for your support! Now delivering hidden gems in audio format too ☺️
@dru_riley We can do better than #13! LET'S GET TO #1! Seriously, after reading Trends, I am inspired to start a business in that category. I cannot keep up with all the good stuff.
@shaunnestor Appreciate the confidence! Great to know the reports are useful.
Great to see the thoughtful, creative and insightful approach that @dru_riley uses for the newsletter translated into an audio format. Congratulations
@stanwilsonjr Thanks Stan! Great to be back in a similar timezone so we can jam in masterminds together.
Congrats on the launch! If the pod is half as valuable as the reports, we're in for a treat. Instant subscribe.
In addition to the incredible community @dru_riley has built, Trends.vc is one of the top 3 newsletters I subscribe to and it’s absolutely worth it. Looking forward to listening to the incredible insights in short form via this podcast.
Dru and his team churn out amazing reports, so the podcast sounds like something that's going to make it even more accessible for the wider public. Can't wait to add it to my subscriptions!
I love Trends.vc newsletter. It's really well formatted + personable to learn something interesting in each edition. Pumped to now check out the pod too. Congrats Dru! 💪
@mitchell_cohen Thanks for the support Mitchell! Great to know that you enjoy the newsletter.
I've been a fan of the trends newsletter and I think the podcast would be amazing too.
Congrats Dru .. one of the most inspiring and insightful creators right now .. So glad that you are making this 🎉🚀🏆
@darrentravel Hey Darren, big thanks for your support! We're excited about the new format too!
I've been looking forward to listening to Trends.vc for a while. I prefer it more than reading. Thanks a lot, @dru_riley!
@maciej_cupial Thanks for continuously sharing feedback! You've been asking for audio for a while. Similar to you, I prefer to listen than dread these days.
This is great @dru_riley, congrats! Been following you on Twitter/X building this in the background. This alongside the reports will bring so much value.
To the point and value-packed!
@sarimkhalid Thank you, Sarim! Hope you'll enjoy our podcast as much as the newsletter 🎧
@sarimkhalid Great to hear that the episodes are valuable. Thanks for the support oh the launch Sarim!
Dru, and the entire Trends.vc community are amazing.
The written reports are pure gold, and I've confirmed that these podcast episodes are too. So excited for this addition to Trends. Well done, Dru!
