Pocket Casts

We’ve recently learned that some people have been contacted by scammers pretending to be part of the Pocket Casts hiring team, using names like “Emily Hicks.” Please know that this individual is not connected to us. Our hiring process happens only through Automattic’s official careers page: https://lnkd.in/gr9bmUN. You’ll always receive hiring-related messages from us using an @automattic.com email address. Other communication from us may come from an @automattic.com or @pocketcasts.com email address. If someone reaches out claiming to be from Pocket Casts or Automattic but uses a different email domain, take a moment to verify their identity. Scams like these can look very real, so it’s always okay to double-check! Here’s a helpful guide offering more tips on how to spot and avoid scams: https://lnkd.in/dgkrq6cz. Stay safe out there, everyone!

It's truly delightful. LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/dkbVsT_V

The best thing for Podcast Discovery is absolutely working with the editorial teams for the players. I noticed another spike in the #s for 5 Daily Trivia Questions, and it was all Pocket Casts driven - and its because they rotated 5 Daily Trivia Questions into the #1 slot on one of the shelves. Thanks again Pocket Casts. (BTW Pocket Casts is hands down the best player)
