    One of my favorite shows
    I don’t miss an episode of the feed! Rob and Elsie bring the new topics and tips to help in optimizing your podcast!

    It’s good but fake
    The show has good information but the female hosts fake enthusiasm is annoying. It’s painful to listen to.

    The Only Show That Matters For Podcasters
    The hosts are credible, informative, funny, and educational. If you want to be the best in your podcast category, listen to this show and do everything they say. Their best advice is for podcasters to make content that provides value to the listener, not the advertiser, and the rest will fall in place. Thank you for such an outstanding show!
  • BravoGol
    Timely and precise
    Everything you didn't know you needed to know about podcasting. A couple hours every month to keep your feed up to date with changes. Thank you R & E!

    ❤️❤️❤️
    I just published my podcast. I used to listen to this for motivation, inspiration and to hear from other podcasters. Thank you so much for the great content!

    Free (Top Tier) Consulting!
    I would tell my podcast clients to renew the contract of any consultants who provided this level of value and insight. Instead, it's here for free on "The Feed". Thanks Elsie and Rob for actionable takeaways every month. - MG in L.A.
  • Thomas Mirus
    Essential resource for podcasters
    They have answered several of my emailed questions in the show. I have been podcasting since 2018, I host two shows and produce two others and this is very helpful as an ongoing resource.
  • WhiskyCast
    Essential listening for podcasters!
    Whether you’re a Libsyn customer or not, Elsie and Rob provide information that every podcast producer and host needs!
  • Bonnie Frank
    Podcasting greatness every time
    The Feed is a MUST LISTEN podcast! It’s absolutely filled with the most up-to-date, helpful (and often hilarious—thank you Rob Walch), podcasting information every episode. Elsie and Rob bring their A game every time. Anyone who podcasts should listen. Otherwise, they’re really missing out 🎯.

    LIFE SAVER!
    As a podcaster now with over 200 episodes and running a full-time show and consulting business, I simply cannot imagine how else I would be able to souce the wealth of knowledge as I get from this show. I never miss an episode and can honestly say the vast majority of what Elsie and Rob talk about helps me become a better podcaster. THANK YOU and EVER FORWARD!
  • Turner Rowland
    Rob and Elsie Rock
    So much great information here. I enjoy listening to this to improve my own podcast and learn about what is coming. Thank you for putting this out.
  • Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo
    I love love love The Feed!!
    I started my own podcast (hosted by Libsyn) and then I found out about The Feed. I listen every week because I’m always learning new things about the industry, best practices, do’s and don’ts, how to (and not to) get kicked off Apple Podcasts, etc... I saw another review where they said to change the host because they don’t like the first few minutes of the show - but seriously just use that skip button my guy. This is free educational content and it’s valuable. Thanks Elsie and Rob for all that you do!
  • YourEmptyNestCoach
    Thank you!
    As a new podcaster, this podcast has been extremely helpful. Wonderfully detailed show notes too. I am incredibly thankful for this!
  • The Lobbying Show
    Very helpful
    This show has been incredibly helpful as a new podcast producer. Love the stats, and the Q & A portions of the show.
  • BassCaster Bros.
    Exciting and Fun!
    I enjoy listening to Rob and Elsie every other week! They transition from questions to promos to audio feedback quickly so it keeps the almost 90 minute show entertaining! Elsie's excitement and Rob's humor are awesome! I learn a minimum of one thing each episode to improve my podcast so I am so thankful they host this show. -Josh
  • MustBeJam
    New to Podcasting-so much info!
    Elsie and Rob provide great information that can be used by both new and established podcasters. My sister and I just launched the Baby Names podcast and we can use all the advice we can get! Make sure you also check out their supporting docs and links on The Feed site episode pages. Thanks guys for helping out the rest of us!
  • MissNickie
    Great insight into podcasting industry
    I discovered The Feed recently (from Elsie who I listen to over at She Podcasts) and I've found it to be very helpful. I have only been podcasting for a few months and they do a great job of dicussing the podcasting industry in general, but also get into specifics. I especially like the stats portion! Great job!
  • kidversion1
    I need more stars!
    Thank you to both Rob and Elsie for all they do with this podcast. I feel that I always have to go make an adjustment to my podcasts after every time I listen to The Feed, and that’s a good thing! If you’re a podcaster, this is a must listen! - Christof Tales of Honor Podcast
  • Mag writer
    So many tips for podcasters in each episode!
    I don't know how I survived without this podcast! I discovered it last month and now I'm glued to each episode because they're filled with helpful tips for podcasters. Elsie and Rob give advice on stats, simple tech tips, suggestions for promoting your show, insight on sponsors and monetizing and much more -- and they give clear and easy directions for each tip. Plus they accept promo clips, so you can promote your podcast in an episode of theirs. Brava / bravo!
  • Jonathan HobbyRX
    Funny Rants
    A podcast meant for podcasting insiders. Very entertaining rants and life lessons from Rob and Elsie.
  • realworldredneck
    Informative and Fun
    I get a lot of good tips here, and it's fun to listen to also. Keep up the good work! Chris Real world redneck podcast
  • Westhappenings
    Helpful for podcasters in a Fun Way
    Just found this podcast and already learned so much for my own podcasting story. And it is fun at the same time! Thank you!
  • EvryNuDay
    Pretty Good
    Great source for libsyn users and general podcasting news. I love that they are giving spots for "indie" podcasters to highlight their shows. Elsie and Rob know their stuff. However, for a podcast on podcasting the audio quality is pretty inconsistent and Rob can ride the line between being playfully sarcastic and plain mean.
  • Emmett The Crab
    Helpful and fun.
    Initially I was scared of my transition to Libsyn because we were pretty entrenched with our other host, but it was relatively painless, and this podcast gives a sense of community involvement and caring for the customers. Recommended for any podcaster, no matter who your host.
  • Dave Paterson
    Do you podcast?
    •You should keep podcasting •You should use Libsyn •You should listen to The Feed to get interesting info about the world of podcasting
  • SallyAnneSmith75
    Very Helpful for Podcasters
    I host with Libsyn and recently switched to having them host (instead of hosting on my blog). The customer support was excellent. This podcast is very helpful as I am still new to podcasting (a year). They have lots of wonderful tips and I learn something each episode.
  • MarkDillonVO
    Awesome
    I host on Libsyn and love the service...you don't need to host with them to gain amazing value from this show. This podcast is packed full of podcasting information...I know each time I listen I will learn something and usually have at least one actionable thing to do when the episode is over. Do yourself a favor and listen & subscribe so you don't miss out.

    If you’re not listening you’re missing out
    I have been listening to The Feed since it started about 2 years ago and it has become appointment listening for me. I host my own podcast and The Feed gives some of the best advice for your show. No bells. No whistles. No promises of getting you thousands of new subscribers or on the front page of iTunes. Just simple, straightforward advice on how to get the most out of your show. Quintessential “news you can use.” Rob offers great technical tips on software and gear, and analysis on the industry as a whole. I’ve yet to hear him make any predictions or analysis that in the long run hasn’t turned out to be true. Elsie is the warm friend that coaches you and pulls for your show to succeed. It’s like having a good friend who works at a major hosting company. Together they make a great combination. I will be shocked if this show doesn’t become the gold standard in podcasting news, tips & info within the next couple of years. Please keep up the good work. 5 stars.
  • Maddy Love, @TransAtheistPod
    Love the Format, Quality, & Hosts
    Every podcast has its own style, and The Feed has carved out its own. The show starts with some podcast promotion & a few quick Libsyn news & events that I never have time to catch until Elsie goes over them here. Elsie and Rob then delve into the nuts and bolts of how to make your podcast better, sucessful, and how to avoid some pitfalls. Thanks for the great show Elsie and Rob, never miss an episode, and you've helped my audience grow DESPITE my unpredicatable release schedule. -Maddy A Minnesota Trans-Atheist podcast
  • Daniel J. Lewis
    Great perspectives!
    It’s great to hear an official podcast from Libsyn. Rob and Elsie do a good job with presenting information and also being entertaining. I don’t always agree with what they say and I don’t usually enjoy the promos, but this podcast is more about connecting with the Libsyn community. Even if I don’t like the promos themselves, I respect that a company-backed podcast is bringing equal attention to the “little guy."
  • brownstone77
    Best Podcast about Podcasting!
    This is one of the best podcasts about podcasting! I’ve learned so much about new plugins, new podcasting apps and every day tech questions. Elsie and Rob are truly there to help the podcasting community to get better. Happy 2 Year Anniversary for the podcast.
  • PersistentDude
    Dig it
    I think this podcast is fantastic, Elsie does a great job of showcasing other podcasts and highlighting whats going on in the industry and her enthusiasm is welcome. Rob's sense of humor, statistics, and brutally honest opinion about podcasting is refreshing! Libsyn is a big deal, they are a solid company that won't let you down and this podcast won't let you down either. Great Show
  • JasonFergusonTulsa
    Incredibly helpful
    This is really great for anyone currently podcasting or even a little interested in starting. I've learned something from every episode I've heard!
  • William Conrad
    Listen and Subscribe!
    One of my top three podcasts and it is a must listen to for all podcasters! Rob Walch and Else Escobar are entertaining and informative. You will learn so much about podcasting and life (Else is the Podcaster Happiness Expert!) The Feed is at the official Libsyn Podcast; you just need to listen to the podcast and you will understand why you need to subscribe to this show. Also, after listening a few times, Else and Rob will make you feel that they are your close friends.

    Haters gonna hate. YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS THIS.
    If you produce your own podcast, or, any podcast - libsyn hosting or not - why would you NOT listen to this? I’ve gotten so much information from Elsie and Rob that they have truly helped Zach and I make it back into the Top 50 of comedy podcasts on iTunes - after a 9 year hiatus. Rob didn’t know us from ‘Adam’ and he treated us like their best client. This show is evidence that they care about those that host with them. Don’t listen to the haters. The info is truly can’t miss. Thanks - keep it up. Chip, Making Dad with Chip and Zach
  • oakhilljo
    Very helpful!
    This show is a huge timesaver for me. Rob and Elsie keep me up-to-date the latest news and information in podcasting every couple of weeks, so I don’t have to go searching for it. It’s essential for podcasters who host with Libsyn to see how your show stands up among other shows hosted with them. I’ve heard information here that I haven’t seen anywhere else. It’s great being among the first to know when it comes to a lot of their new features and services.
  • Wahoo Idea Network
    Great content
    Its always a pleasure to listen great stuff, inside information that I can’t get anywhere else.Rob and Elsie work well together ,they help podcasters out by promoting them that is a really good idea helps everyone,everyone wins.
  • BrassyBroadJen
    Keeping me in the loop
    I love listening to The Feed to stay up on the latest info in the ever changing world of podcasting. I learn something new from Rob and Elsie in every episode.
  • grishrak
    Can't stand to listen
    I gave this a try because the topics sound relevant and seem like it would be a great help but the woman host is annoying to me. I can't stand to listen to her try to be funny and her laugh. I couldn't even make it through one podcast, I made it about half way. I'll go to listen to the many other "how to podcast" podcasts on iTunes. Which is a shame because I really was ready to learn new things from libsyn but I'm not going listen to all of these shows.
  • MichaelNeeley
    Super Helpful Show!
    Great info for keeping up to date on our business. And as a newbie, it has been very helpful in figuring things out without having to reinvent the wheel. Elsie is great, and so is that other guy. ;)
  • ThatEricGuy12
    I never miss this show
    Podcasting seems to be evolving day by day, and unlike the other "experts" that have "how to podcast" shows, Elsie and Rob actually have numbers and facts behind the info they are giving us. They also seem to love trying out new equipment and recording methods which for us cheapos, is great! I hate buying something only to find out it under performs. Elsie and Rob also make the most fantastic use of a soap box when needed. Take that twitter bombers! If you're a podcaster or thinking about starting a podcast, subscribe to this show.
  • dlouismartin
    Rob and Elsie a dynamic duo...
    After kicking over stones, checking in the dark hallways, and peering down the shadowy stair cases that make up review exchanges, I almost gave up on reviewing these guys, because their show was nowhwere in sight! Alas, I've changed my evil ways, and decided that I would just offer them a review because I am a listener, and they have not only featured my content, but they've helped me with all kinds of information about making a better show. Rob has personally assisted me with my shows, and between the nuggest that the duo offer on their podcast -- a review is the LEAST of the things I could do to show my appreciation. Thanks for always helping out! -Dean (LSG Media)
  • Wakeupeager
    Great Show
    I really enjoyed the podcast on outsourcing. Overall you two are great - fun, happy, helpful, real and authentic. Thank you for doing She Podcasts... You are appreciated.

    Proper Guidance to Make it Happen!
    You want to deliver your message, yes I know… the how to wall! Just drop by Libsyn and get it all.
  • RJA973
    Great insider information
    This is a great show with tons of inside information on the podcasting community. Yes, the audio quality can vary from show to show, but sometimes that is because the hosts are trying different gear set ups. I haven't found an episode where the audio makes it unlistenable. As a previous reviewer said, it is an informal show so you may not expect that from an official Libsyn podcast, but I learn something new in each episode about podcasting which makes it one of the shows I look forward to the most. One more thing, Rob and Elsie don't pander to podcasters that are on the monetization train, and thank goodness for that. I can only take so many shows about how to make money podcasting. They are realistic while being supportive. The world needs people to tell it like it is, and you can count on Rob to do that.
  • Al Holtz
    A must listen for podcasters.
    Informative and entertaining podcast from Libsyn. Elsie is a very energetic and enjoyable host, and Rob provides great insights on statistics, conferences, the state of podcasting, and more. If you are a podcasters, I recommend subscribing. Also--great way to find out about other podcasts that you may not know about.
  • Jeffrey K. Holbrook
    The info I need, Entertaining delivery.
    This is what you need to know if you are a podcaster. The different personalities are quite entertaining. Sometime the sound quality is interesting, but that is because they do the podcast from wherever they happen to be at the time. I really appreciate the in-depth info from Rob and Krystal, and Elsie greases the skids with her fun, and playful delivery. Definately part of my regular subscription stable of shows. SUBSCRIBE!
  • MelissaShawn
    great
    I think Libsyn is perfect for anyone who podcasts. I am thankful for the feed because it just adds to the support they already offer when you host with them!
  • Patrick-Big-Seance
    Currently Addicted!!!
    I have to tell you that this show has been my current addiction. I’ve been going through one by one and taking notes and submitting questions left and right! :-) As a new podcaster, there is so much to learn, and if you aren’t listening to this show, there are things you don’t know that YOU NEED TO HEAR! Elsie and Rob do a great job! THANKS!
