In a world of never-ending high quality content, I’m very particular about what I fill my time with. What Matt and Dom are doing with Making Media sets a new bar for podcasts. Originally a Business Breakdowns and Invest Like the Best listener, I was initially attracted to a behind the scenes view of some of the most successful podcasts. What you get by listening is not only that, but a down to earth discussion about new ways to think about media businesses, handling guests, balancing consistency and quality, and carrying out each of those with actionable advice. I operate a weekly podcast and newsletter and have been waiting for a resource to exist like this since I started over two years ago. The balance of lighthearted discussion and targeted questions to top tier media guests has made a significant positive impact on my life and work.

Fascinating inside baseball of building a media business. The hosts draw me in as much, if not more, than the content itself. Never miss an episode

… if I didn’t give it 5 stars, that’d be really concerning. On a serious note, we are learning a ton and having fun. Hop on for the ride!
