When To Break Format

Usually my Tuesday episodes are 30 minute interviews. This week's was an hour.  I explain my thought process here.Black podcasting awards: https://blackpodawards.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podnews.net%3A2020-06-15Don Lemon's new podcast about the racial divide in America is called "Silence is not an option."Spotify's venture into podcasting, as featured on CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/media/spotify-podcasts-risk-takers/index.htmlDon't neglect TuneIn, as their download numbers may be 8 times higher than you thought, says PodNews: https://podnews.net/article/eight-times-bigger-podcast-user-agents?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2020-06-16Here's a link to add your podcast if you haven't yet. https://help.tunein.com/contact/add-podcast-S19TR3SdfReuters, the wire service, has a new platform that gives podcasters access to half a million of their news clips to use in their show.

Kim Kardashian West just signed a contract with them as well.  I mention this so I can put both names in my show notes, and hopefully help my SEO.
