Welcome to Between Two Mics! In this episode, we speak with the co-hosts of Counter Programming with Shira and Arielle...Shira Moskowitz and Arielle Nissenblatt. They recently wrapped their pandemic distraction-cast after 14 months and (almost) 100,000 downloads. 

You may recognize Arielle's name. That's because in addition to being the co-host of CP, she's our community manager! She recently tweeted out an epic thread explaining how she and Shira almost reached 100,000 podcast downloads despite not having a budget, having a niche topic, and not being part of a network.
 
In the thread, Arielle outlines how they did it. And in this episode, we break it all down. 

Sneak peek of what we discuss:

• Clear and concise messaging AKA over-communication
• Strategic promo & social swaps
• Pitching AND catching
• Sporadic guesting
• In-app placement

This episode is longer than usual but it's worth it!
