making learning English more interesting

[Alastair Budge @ambudge]

I started a podcast 6 months ago with no team, no budget, and no audience.

It just crossed 100,000 downloads with listeners in 157 countries.

Here are a few things I've learned 👇1/13

@yongfook Re-arrange the letters of the app ... I guess it'll all be revealed as a hilarious "gotcha" in a few days...

@helloitsolly in your list, "build next", but it would be good to be able to customise it. In my case, it would be "what would you like us to make a (podcast) episode on?"

@BenjaminHouy b2c (especially in education) is super tough. I've seen a similar thing, and you get to a stage where even 7% monthly churn means acquiring 70 new users every month just for MRR not to go down. This is really impressive, well done.

@mcguirebrannon thanks.

After writing a first draft of a script (narrative podcast in my case) I tend to review it on screen/in my head, but I'm going to give it a go at actually reading aloud. Good tip!

@BenjaminHouy ELSA is pretty popular for learning English. And SPEAK (I think still only available in Korea).
