TAKE NOTE: AdvancingPodcast.xyz is now live. Yes, you should sign up if you have an interest in making podcasting better, not just easier.

Unless you’re part of a big network or have a big ad budget, your podcast will only grow if people share it. Sadly, far too many podcasters -- even big ones -- fail to include share-friendly links. That makes it hard for me to share your excellent content.

No, I’m not sharing a link to the episode inside the app I’m using. I don’t want to force my social followers to change their habits! I want a website to share. That’s a “permalink”, and it’s built into the podcasting spec.

And far too many aren’t using it. Hence my appeal for you to fix that. Yes, on all of your old episodes. Because you want your show to grow, right?

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.

If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. 5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.

We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
