The good folks over at @beehiiv featured our work on #AmericanColony as a case study about why bringing in your podcast into your newsletter and web environment makes all the sense in the world.

This was the result:

Audience tripled within a couple of weeks of launch
1M+ social media views for the series
Triple-digit growth in podcast listens
Thousands of new social followers
New online donations in the low six figures
Hundreds and hundreds of social comments

Thank you, @beehiiv, for the love! by @julito77
