Podcast The Newsletter

Hello there! I’m Lauren Passell, and I absolutely love podcasts. I previously hosted a show called PodcastPodcast, which focused on the world of podcasts. I am also the founder of Tink Media—recognized by Forbes as “the first podcast PR company for authors”—and I provide PR services for various podcasts as well. Additionally, I co-founded Lasso Audio, the first agency dedicated to managing podcasters. One of the biggest challenges in podcasting is getting discovered, and I’m thrilled to share with you the shows that have caught my attention. In every edition of Podcast The Newsletter, you’ll find an extensive list of my top recommendations, a heartfelt message from me, and an interview with someone I admire from the podcasting community—someone I believe you should know about too. Warm wishes, Lauren

Bonjour. Today is Monday, April 7, 2025. This is not a normal issue of Podcast the Newsletter. Next week will be normal. I have a podcast growth company, Tink, but that is not what all of this is about. I started Podcast the Newsletter years before that, as a podcast listener.

Bonjour. Today is Monday, March 24, 2025. I wrote this kind of drunk and in the sun on a cruise ship so buckle up / bear with me. I can hardly see the screen lol. In case this newsletter is too long, I found a niche intersection of two of my favorite topics here, this is as much nerdy as it is fun, and after listening to the first episode of this I panicked until I secured the remaining episodes. Podcast The Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
