Refresh Your Podcast – PCI 332

There comes a time that you should refresh your podcast; change something up. And it's time for Blubrry to do the same. Next week we'll be back with a whole new format and some stylistic changes but still the same team. We're pairing back on the number of topics we discuss each week so we can really give our expertise on the topics at hand. We think you'll really enjoy the change. In the meantime, Mike and MacKenzie discuss big tech in podcasting, some listener data and more.
