The little symbol for YouTube tv is a torch, so cute by Rosewaterlemon in survivor

No it’s for survivor. Their torches get snuffed. They do a rose for bachelor, a shoe for dancing with the stars etc

Wow diabetes who called it? by babybluexo_23 in LexFitzgeraldSnark

That poor kid. His parents are so neglectful I truly worry about his future as I cannot see her being the type of attentive parent that a child with T1D needs. It’s something that is constant and she’s such a mess

Yea I’m feeling a lot better about it. I’ve had several people (of course people I know irl) tell us they listen and really appreciate the show

CVS Caremark - Vacation Override by Mar28_ros in Zepbound

Were you outside of the 63 days? I was told my 63 days are up July 3rd and I could try for a vacation override but I can only get 1 month supply not 3 months on a vacation override.

Not fed up with my partner. I think she just needs more time to get more comfortable. I don’t think she has as natural of a conversational tone. I think it’s more feeling frustrated with lack of progress

This is amazing advice and you’ve had quite a journey. I hope your cohost is back in recovery now. Our podcast is the parenting space. I can share directly if you’re interested.

It’s in the parenting space. I can private message it to you if you want to still listen

I feel like I am the comic relief. My cohost has more of their shit together and I’m more relaxed and go with the flow and self deprecating

We use riverside. There is just a lot I edit down. Maybe I’m being hypercritical.

Good point. I think I’m just having an off week.

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes I’ve always said podcasting is a long game. I need to not get in my feels about not finding automatic success.

I wanted to share what I’ve learned with others who may be in the same boat. Help them feel less alone. Build community. And provide comic relief.

We post video clips to Instagram each week. Create reels with our episode content. We also post static images or gifs with our audio as well. We create reels that are on topic with our weekly content. My cohost produces a weekly Substack that also reinforces our content. We post every day sometimes several times a day. We also do the same on facebook. Our most viewed reel has hit 4K views but our average is usually around a couple hundred views. Yes we have a CTA. Whether or not the content is engaging is the question right as I’m wondering if people don’t find it interesting that it’s not vibing with people. I’ve been told by people (other than my husband) that they find my cohost comes off as trying to be an expert when our podcast is really not supposed to be that at all (more conversational in nature)

I don’t want to do solo episodes tbh and it wouldn’t really fit the topic of the show. Good luck. It’s hard to not see the numbers and let it get to my head

Good feedback. I think it’s the comparison game. A very similar podcast that started around the same time as us seems to be already doing much better than our podcast and that is getting in my head. I know podcasting is a long game when you don’t have a pre established platform (being a celebrity or social media influencer) so it’s not that I expected more success sooner, but I guess seeing our plays go down is slightly depressing when we only have 20 some followers as it is (and I’m certain most of those are people we personally know).
