Well hello there, friends. Remember me?
As you may know I’ve been off work for the best part of the last year on maternity leave but I am now BACK and I have something for you.
It’s the BAD SEX bonus episode!!
Oh yes, I did not sleep on this (I didn’t sleep much at all, truth be told). I had to put production on hold while I cared for a tiny infant human 24/7 but as soon as it was feasible to get back to it I did and I’m really excited to say it’s finished and will be in your inboxes THIS FRIDAY.
The format of this episode is a little more relaxed and personal than the rest of the series. I actually just went back to the crowdfunder to see exatly what I’d promised and I basically said something vague about “behind-the-scenes audio clips, bloopers, and unheard interviews”. In the end I did something a little bit different and while it is admittedly low on bloopers, it does include “unheard interviews”.
I’ve had a lot of fun making it so I’m really excited to finally be able to share it with you.
What’s next
Episode transcripts
I’m working on getting these sorted for you so that you can easily find the references, names and book recommendations I’ve mentioned in the show. Once they are ready I will add them to the existing episode newsletters (so, for eg, the transcript for Ep 3 will be in the Ep3 newsletter) which will be accessible online in perpetuity.
The making of BAD SEX - business break down!
I’m also going to put together a break down of how I made the podcast (including sharing my sponsorship pitch deck), what my final budget was and how I spent the money. I’ll also share my download figures and anything else that I think might be of interest. From the start of this project I’ve wanted to be as transparent as possible, partly because I wanted my supporters to feel like they knew what they were getting for their money, but also because I have no interest in becoming someone who guards their knowledge and expertise jealously. I have no insecurities about sharing what I’ve learned and if doing so helps other people make work of their own then all the better.
There’s still time to leave a review
The podcast is out in the world now and can be returned to any time! Find it wherever you get your podcasts or click HERE to go direct.
For those who have listened but who have not yet left a review, I’d love it if you would take two secs to do so on iTunes/Apple Podcasts.
It probably doesn’t sound like much but the number of subscribers, reviews and five-star ratings I get directly affects my discoverability and search rankings.
However, a quick note! Please don’t leave me a three star review… I know, I know, we’re all about integrity here, but leaving a three star review is actually probably more damaging than not leaving a review at all. Basically podcast ratings are like Uber ratings - if it’s got less than 4.5 stars, ain’t no one getting in that cab. So it needs to be five stars or nothing.
