You can listen, or just jump to this list without the logic behind it:
- Review all posted episodes for typos, check links.
- Review your music, commercial, intro, outro. Is it time to freshen them up?
- Is host info still current?
- Verify your host and team have added to their LinkedIn profiles.
- Can you do a few recap episodes - highlight reels to save production time during the holidays and year-end?
- If these are in a drip campaign, test each drip, links, graphics to make sure they all work.
- How does your show look in all the podcast venues?
- Have you missed any or have new ones been added like Podchaser that you want to be listed in - it's free.
- What about a "tell us your favorite episode" contest on social. Have them tell you a quote and a timestamp from an episode. Give out show swag. T-shirts, caps, etc.
- Look at your stats and do a post on the top episodes for the year and top episodes for all time to link back to them - don't forget to mention those guests, their companies, and THANK THEM!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
