Tom Rossi joins us as we take a deep-dive into the bizarre world of fake podcasts on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, unmasking the intentions behind these deceitful strategies. From an analysis of Twitter's recent rebranding to a conversation about the sponsorship opportunity to Rails World, this episode is loaded with insights for all podcast enthusiasts.

We're thrilled to announce a new Buzzsprout Conversations video with the incredible radio host, MTV VJ, and co-founder of podcasting, Adam Curry. Also, we delve into the potential of TikTok's new feature that allows podcasters to link their RSS feed to the platform. And did you know that some libraries offer recording booths for patrons? Discover more such intriguing nuggets in this episode of Buzzcast!
