In their words
You are entitled to make the show you want. Make your heart. I would never crush your dreams, but you're not entitled to an audience. You don't deserve an audience. You have no right to an audience.
Tom Webster
and the question to me isn't, how do I grow my podcast? It's why did it stop growing?
Tom Webster
I'm authentic, and I edit, and I'm authentic, and I rehearse, and I'm authentic, because what is authentic to me is doing a good job when I'm on stage.
