Manuela Bedoya, Shreya Sharma, and Gavin Gaddis are on the show today, chatting with Bryan Barletta about our newest podcast, The Download. If this is your first time hearing about it, The Download is our weekly podcast about the business of podcasting. It started in December, and was initially hosted by Evo Terra and Bryan Barletta. We quickly decided to bring in Sharma, Bedoya, and Gaddis to the production and hosting team. In this chat, learn more about the team behind The Download and why we decided this podcast was necessary in the first place, both for Sounds Profitable, and for the podcast industry. Listen in to learn about:

• How The Download team sources their news.
• How Sharma, Bedoya, and Gaddis stay up to date on the podcast world's happenings.
• Our goal for The Download
• An upcoming Spanish-language version of The Download, prominently featuring Sounds Profitable contributor Gabriel Soto of Edison Research
• How The Download fits into Sounds Profitable's overall mission
• And much more!

Here's our favorite idea from this conversation: when each guest was asked where they get their podcast news, they cited each other's podcast newsletters -- Shreya Sharma writes Inside Podcasting, Manuela Bedoya curates the Podcasting, Seriously newsletter, and Gavin Gaddis is subscribed to all of 'em!
