321 - What It Takes to Get Featured on Apple Podcasts

Big congratulations to our very own community member, Dominic Lawson, whose podcast Mental Health Rewritten is now featured on Apple Podcasts! Dominic shares the strategy that made this come together, including the duration of the process, why timing is crucial, and what it was like working with Apple’s editorial team. After celebrating that huge win, we cover this week’s top podcasting headlines: Apple’s new listening features, YouTube’s push for more ads in their music app, Walmart’s surprising move into in-store podcast studios, and Spotify’s first podcast awards in Mexico.
