things that BDE stands for, you guys can let me know what you think it is. It is exactly what you think it is. But even getting the studio set up and then bringing Sid on as my producer, she's independent. So if anybody else wants Sid, we, you know, we can do that.
And if she has time, I keep her kind of busy right now.
I'm trying. I want BD to, you know, produce them. So it's sort of like, okay, let's... And that is the other thing is finding other revenue sources. But started the company and pushed back the release, signed with True Story, which is, it felt so calming. because it didn't feel like this pariah of, I'm selling my soul to share my story. And that really is what it ended up being.
And I think there's so many people, these network people, they came from the music industry You know, I have a lot of friends that are in that industry that get kind of raked over the coals in that industry. And it's that same model that they're doing to podcasters. And podcasts are huge now. I mean, the ad sales and the revenue, it is...
It's huge. And there's so much like you need it. And it's for me to even talk to you, someone that has been doing it for a few years more, like that knowledge is invaluable. And to have somebody that's willing to share, but that's how people get their podcasts is across promotions.
Because it only grows the podcast, which only grows the network.
Yeah. Yeah.
I, the poor guy.
I send him emails all the time. And my subject line is always like new girl question.
And his contract is two pages. Yeah. And it's essentially that is all taking up like this is your company name. This is my company name.
Whereas some of the network deals.
So onerous. Insane. I think that we went through like five or six rounds of negotiations on that and it didn't get better. It was getting worse every single time. And the lawyers are lawyering.
With all that. But it also adds another cost.
More people. And in our case, a lot of our stuff can't be video because a lot of my guests are anonymous. Yeah. Or, you know, other people that are telling their story are anonymous in certain ways. But when we can add video, that's just another thing to learn. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. in any way.
it is very very appreciated and that's how especially independent shows we don't have a company that's fronting the cost for our shows this isn't like we have to make it work some car company that is doing a podcast that is essentially an ad yeah right it's that is a big ad for that company but yeah
Well, in the beginning, it was super fun because we had like 10 reviews and we had five stars. And I was like, oh, we're doing such a good job. And I think we have like...
couple thousand reviews you know and it is so there's apple and those reviews people rate and review and as creators we don't get to respond you know they just put it up whatever they're thinking in the moment which as a creator i'm putting out whatever i'm thinking in the moment so right that's the deal you make i mean it's definitely like you're putting art into the world like you like that's kind of my ethos is like well like what people think about it is like
And at the end of every one of my episodes, and I know yours, we say, please rate and review us. We understand. I will say that there are some people that are a little overly harsh, especially personal stuff. So I stopped looking at Apple reviews because it's just so wild all over the place.
And I'm like, I just there were a few people that made some comments about my sister and how my family handled, you know, the case after she was killed. And just for anyone that was paying attention, this December at the New Year's Eve is the 20th anniversary of her death. So my sister passed 20 years ago. This isn't a case that is ongoing.
You know, it isn't a case that we could even reopen at this point. But so that's an entirely different, like we did our best with what happened, but people were mean on the reviews, some of them. And then we had amazing reviews and I had opened up on my website. I have a, you know, connect with me directly and all through July,
