“Zoe, I have loved your podcast for as long as you’ve existed. Your guests are remarkable in so many ways and you treat them with compassion, non-judgment and provide a safe space. I am however a bit annoyed that you’ve mentioned on a few podcasts (not just your own) that The Deep is an Apple case study for how to monetise your business via subscriptions. I’m a current subscriber because I do love your content, however stating that episodes are released weekly but then for weeks in a row release ‘from the archives’ content is pretty disappointing. Avid listeners have heard these already. I’m not sure, but perhaps be a bit more up front of other life commitments (without going into too much detail) mean you cannot release a new episode every week. If there are multiple weeks in a row of releasing old interviews I’m not sure what we’re paying (the albeit small amount) for? Vary the subscription fee for slower months? I’m not sure? Perhaps I’m wrong?
I’m all for manifesting money or other things but I think if you’re not delivering what people are paying for on this platform, then things might move the other way and you’ll lose subscribers? Perhaps your career is going in a different direction and the podcast is fading out which is a-ok, but as a long time subscriber I thought I’d offer some honest feedback.
Thank you for all the work you have done to date - I can’t imagine how incredibly taxing it is for you.”
