Episode 217 #HowtoGetOnThatPodcast with Lauren Passell

You listen to podcasts. You love podcasts. (Perhaps we&#8217;re assuming here, but after all, we ARE a podcast.) And you&#8217;re a writer, with books or articles or ideas or other projects you want to get out into the world. Which just might mean you&#8217;ve imagined yourself as a guest on a podcast, sharing your work. (It&#8217;s the writer version of the sportscaster doing an imaginary play-by-play while a kid shoots hoops&#8212;we imagine ourselves being interviewed by our favorite podcasters.)<br/><br/>This week&#8217;s guest, Lauren Passell, can help with that. She loves podcasts (she even created a weekly email that&#8217;s essentially a love letter to the big, the small, the great and the weird in the podcast world: Podcast, the Newsletter). And she loves writers. And she loves connecting writers with podcasts, so much so that she&#8217;s turned it into her business: <a href="https://tinkmedia.co/about">TINK Media</a>, a PR company specializing in podcasts. We talk about creating a podcast-worthy story, finding the right podcasts to pitch, perfecting those pitches and making your voice a part of the podcast world. It&#8217;s an amazing and useful episode. I think you&#8217;re gonna love it.<br/><br/>Links from the pod<br/><br/>Subscribe to <a href="https://podcastthenewsletter.substack.com">Podcast the Newsletter</a> and take the quiz<br/><br/><a href="https://www.listennotes.com">ListenNotes.com</a><br/><br/>Player.fm<br/><br/><a href="https://www.pocketcasts.com">Pocketcast</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.stitcher.com">Stitcher</a><br/><br/><a href="https://castro.fm">[Castro]</a><br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781328911247">Friday Black</a>, a short story collection by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah<br/><br/><a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anxiety/episodes/did-not-watch-video">The United States of Anxiety: I Did Not Watch the Video</a><br/><br/>#AmReading/#AmListening<br/><br/>Jess: <a href="https://longform.org">Longform</a> <br/><br/>CBC Podcasts: <a href="https://www.cbc.c
