Each pitch you send is a request that someone does something for you — so we love giving back in kind. Even if what you’re offering as a pitch is a promo swap or feed swap that already includes a return, it’s never a bad idea to say what other appreciation you can provide. Offer to post on socials, talk about what you’re pitching on your podcast, put it in the show notes, write about it in a newsletter, etc. etc. etc. Not only will this make the pitch more appealing, it’s also just a sweet way to show love and respect for your industry colleagues. 💖
Give the gift of a podcast therapy session!
The ‘new year, new me’ mantra can be stressful for creators. They have a lot on their plate, especially if they are launching a new podcast or just refreshing their marketing or content. A Tink podcast therapy session can be the perfect gift for such a friend. PLUS, it makes you come across as so thoughtful. And who wouldn’t want that, eh?

✨From the Desk of Tink
The FAIK Files is a different approach on AI than pretty much any conversation about AI you’ll see in the zeitgeist right now. Taking a rational but very fun approach, this podcast looks into AI and deepfakes. What are the actual implications of deepfakes? Is using AI to make Trump and Biden argue about niche Japanese fashion the same as using deepfakes to spread false claims, and how should we be evaluating the things that fall into these gray areas? This one’s going to be a huge hit with fans of Never Post, This Is Propaganda, and The TED AI Show.
Back Monday with our final tip! One more before we get a little rest in for the holidays!
