On today's show I'm excited to bring you an interview with Amanda McLoughlin. Amanda recently penned a fantastic article on Medium titled "Lessons from an Independent Podcaster" which really got my attention -- so much so that I had to have her on the show to talk about it! 

Amanda is also the host of Spirits, a podcast that just passed the 1M downloads mark after only 18 months! We talk about the growth of that show, including how she got included on Apple's "New and Noteworthy" section, as well as the production and sound design of her second show Join the Party.

You'll also learn a lot about mindset, growing your podcast audience, and "whole-assing" your podcast - great term from Amanda that I'll probably steal! 

I can't think Amanda enough for sitting down to talk to me this week and hope you enjoy this interview!

I'd also be remiss not to mention the killer new artwork for the show! Thank you to Cory Jespersen for providing the art, and as always, our sound design and intro music come courtesy of Jeff Stark at Attune Musical Design.
