My soul is trapped on this earth until my two interests align and someone writes a country song about podcasts. Then, my brand will be complete and I will finally be raptured

So proud of my friends at @oboelabs! Big day 💖 a16z.com/announcement/invest…

Oh no I discovered @base44 and now I'm obsessed with making websites again. derryconnection.com/

So excited to be at @VidCon this week for @Spotify's Video Podcasting Stage (come by for some amazing live episode tapings!) and what's sure to be a fun and spicy panel with @matt_and_abby_ , @jarvis, and @hannahedoyle on how to turn views into fandoms on Spotify. We're on at 11am on Thurs June 19. Hope to see you there! vidcon.com/anaheim/speaker/1…

I spoke with @Podnews about the Spotify Partner Program: how video on Spotify works and what podcasters can expect if they switch from audio to video. The short answer is that almost everyone sees increased audience and more total revenue as a result. podnews.net/update/spotify-v…

THRILLED that my two favorite founders @nirzicherman and @mignano (co-founders of Anchor) are back with a new venture: @oboelabs, which aims to make humanity smarter. Watch this space – these guys don't miss! oboe.fyi/

Maya Prohovnik (@mayafish) is Head of Product for Spotify Podcasts. She was employee #1 at Anchor, which was acquired by @Spotify in 2019 and now powers more than 80% of all new podcasts created in the world. In 2023, Maya was named one of the Most Important People in Podcasting by The Hollywood Reporter. In our conversation, we dig into: 🔺 The story behind Anchor 🔺 How Maya operationalizes “dogfooding” 🔺 Strategies for preserving startup culture in a large organization 🔺 Tactical tips to improve at public speaking 🔺 How Radical Candor and the Eisenhower matrix transformed her approach to managing people 🔺 How to balance data-driven decision-making and intuition 🔺 What’s next at Spotify and podcasting

I'm often asked about how Anchor transitioned from social audio to become the biggest podcasting platform. The answer is it took several years in the wilderness, multiple pivots and “doing things that don’t scale” @mayafish shares the story perfectly on @lennysan's podcast 👇

Ok I’m logging into this website ONE last time to let you know that tonight’s and all future #BigBrother25 content can be found over on Threads (I’m mayafish there too). New ep of our BB pod will be live right after the episode ends tonight, as always 💕 open.spotify.com/show/4VP16l…

My team and I talked to Spotify’s For the Record about podcast interactivity 😊 We’re working on a bunch of new ways for podcasters and fans to connect that I think you'll love – whether you’re a podcast listener or you have your own show! newsroom.spotify.com/2023-05…
