A Podcast About Podcasting…

That Doesn’t Worship Podcasting

Welcome to Monetize This! — the companion newsletter to a lighthearted, contrarian podcast that pokes fun at the podcasting advice industry. If you’ve ever side-eyed phrases like “10x your audience,” “crush your content strategy,” or “optimize your funnel,” you’re in the right place.

Here, we explore the strange little world of podcast “best practices”. Expect short essays, behind-the-scenes notes from the show, and honest takes on the advice culture that tells creators to do everything, all the time.

This newsletter is for podcasters, creators, coaches with a sense of humor, and anyone who wants to enjoy making things without enrolling in yet another webinar.

I’m David: a developing podcaster, tech veteran, and curious troublemaker. I like good conversations, good storytelling, and calling out unnecessary nonsense (lovingly, of course). Contact me here or email: monetizethispodcast@gmail.com
