We are BIG fans of ending an episode with a unique and specific Call To Action–something like: “If you enjoyed this episode, text it to a friend who____.” Your listeners are your biggest ambassadors. A recommendation from them goes a long way!
Listeners contain multitudes. Much like you, they consume various genres of content. So, it’s safe to assume that they’re listening to shows other than yours. Keep this mind when you’re doing outreach for collaborations. Consider adjacent genres to explore. ➡️ For instance, if you have an audio fiction show, you might want to collaborate with podcasts in the movie, pop culture, and actual play categories! Use Rephonic to get an idea of what other genres your audience is engaged in.
🌟 A Special Announcement
🥳 We are SO excited to announce our new partnership with Castbox! You might know Tink as a marketing company, but first and foremost, we're a group of audio lovers with voracious listening appetites -- and now we get to share our favorite finds with all of you!
Each month, Castbox will be hosting a collection of our recommendations right in the app. Our finds will be eclectic, creative, innovative hidden gems that you won't find on the charts -- at least, not yet. Our Audio Delicacies 2024 list can currently be found on Castbox.
Viva podcasting, and thank you so much Castbox!

🏳️🌈 From the Desk of Tink
The Future Perfect Project team is a group of young adults who are working towards elevating queer youth voices in the national conversation around LGBTQIA+ rights, culture and activism. In keeping with their noble and necessary mission, they’ve released the second season of their beloved show I’m Feeling Queer Today!. This new season takes listeners on an even deeper journey into the LGBTQIA+ culture through storytelling, interviews, and trivia. We are big fans!
