Hey, hey erielle here. It's just me this week, Tim has abandoned us just for a few days. Welcome to the show and lucky you you pit play on a special episode. Well, every episode is special, right? We all want to believe that. But just hang out for a bit and you'll see exactly what I mean. Welcome to trailer park, the podcast trailer Podcast. I'm Eric on this blab on TPP. We are all about the art of the audio teaser. On each episode of the show, we play you a podcast trailer and then we discuss that trailer. Now that we're on week five or six of the show, depending on when you count the official start of the season. It feels like a good time to check in. And since Tim is not here, we don't have a regularly scheduled episode. So we're going to use this as an opportunity to reflect. And I know feedback from listeners is really hard to come by. So I'll just ask that you check in with yourself. And if you feel so compelled, you can get in touch with me and Tim after the episode. I'll share our contact information later on. So on this episode, here's what's coming up. We've got a brief reflection period, I promise it will be brief, then I've got a special episode drop for you. And then I'm going to tell you a bit about our sponsors. And I promise you will want to hear about them. And then we'll close it out and send you off to listen to some more podcasts. So here are some check in questions for you to consider. First up have you found a new podcast to listen to as a result of this show. We started off with the trailer for neurodiversity, a podcast about neurodiversity. Then we played the trailer for sufficiently black from podcaster Nichia Swinton, then serum which is a show from why wise the pulse and local transmedia. Then we had where the stars fell from new shot okati. Our most recent episode is the trailer for a mini series called the inflammatory wanderer. So I want to know did any of those trailers get you interested in checking out the full seasons or the episodes that those podcasts had available? Next question, Have you considered updating your podcast trailer as a result of this show? Tim and I are working hard not only to present these trailers to you for the purposes of helping you find new podcasts to listen to, but also to help you if you're a creator, learn how to master the art of the audio teaser. So we tried to let you know what we liked about the trailers. What we didn't love so much about the trailers, what might have been confusing. So have you considered updating your podcast trailer? Have you already updated it? And have you submitted it to potentially be featured on our show? And then the last question, have you tried out any of our sponsors? I asked this because we chose our sponsors really carefully, we wanted to make sure that they were products that we use and that we endorse, because they're perfect for content creators for podcast creators specifically. And as always, there'll be links in the show notes for you to test them out. So that's it. Those are the questions for our brief reflection period. And just know that I imagine you answered all of those questions aloud in your car, or while walking or while washing your dishes. But if you actually want to let us know how you feel if you want to actually say it to my face. Our contact information will be shared in the back half of this show. And I'd love to hear from you. Now, as promised, we've got a special episode for you. It's a treat, it's really a treat. I imagine a good lot of you are here because you love podcasts, whether it's making them or listening to them or maybe both. With that in mind, I want to introduce you to an amazing show that takes recommendations really seriously. Think Media is a podcast growth and ideas company started by Lauren Purcell. One of Lauren's tenants for her business is that the team should always be working on quote, one big project that makes us know money but takes up a lot of time. End quote. With that in mind a few months ago, the team at tanks started Tinks call in line 1844 pod at me or 1-844-763-2863 in the US and Canada is the phone number. If you call you'll get a new podcast recommendation every single day. You can even leave a recommendation for a show that you're loving at the sound of the beat even your own show. Devin Andrade, a podcast and podcast marketing enthusiast who works at tank then takes those voicemails and makes them into a semi regular podcast episode. It's a beautiful short show with a lot of heart and a lot of love for the podcast world. I'm going to hit play on a 10 minute episode of The Colin show. It is chock full of incredible podcast recommendations from people who are calling in from all over.
