What if we told you, we're in the 2016 instagram era of podcasting. Yeah, podcasts have been around for a minute but we are just at the beginning of the big boom. We're talking all about it this week on the podcast.The inspiration for this conversation comes from the recent launch of Alex Cooper's podcast network, "Unwell," which has sparked discussions about the future trajectory of the podcasting medium. We kick off the episode by discussing the backstory of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast and the major friend/business partner breakup between co-hosts Sofia Franklyn and Alex Cooper. The naming of Alex Cooper's new podcast network, "Unwell," seems to raise eyebrows given the history between the two hosts. We later delve into the arrival of Alex Cooper's "Unwell" podcast network. From its strategic partnerships with Alix Earl and Madeline Argy to its innovative business model, we analyze how this network sets the stage for redefining podcast networks' role in the industry. With the barriers to entry lowering, more voices have a chance to be heard. We discuss how the rise of independent podcasters and niche content creators is reshaping the dynamics of podcast networks.Enjoy! INSTAGRAM:@mahlee_sem23@saammwiches@saucemediaagroup@relishstudiosTIKTOK: @saucemediagroupBOOK RELISH STUDIOS:relishstudios.coWEBSITE: saucemediagroup.comSIGN UP FOR BONUS PATREON EPISODES HERE!
