Hi Friend,

Zealous is an amazing platform that combines a multitude of apps all in one place. Suze Cooper and I have been using it for our All Things Audio Spaces and podcast. It does transcripts, audiograms, Spaces backups, and much more. We were super excited to have co-founder Gregarious Narain back on the show to share feature details and upcoming enhancements for Zealous. Be sure to check out our conversation on the latest All Things Audio. Try it for free here.

Now here’s this week’s roundup.

Highlights From Madalyn's Twitter Feed

Madalyn points to a sign she is holding which reads #TwitterSmarter

I’m starting a new livestream series where I share the latest X (Twitter) news. Here’s the first one I hosted this week, talking about new video features and a step-by-step on how to use Media Studio. I’m trying to come up with a cool name for my livestream. For now, I’m just calling it X News Live with Madalyn Sklar. Do you like that or have thoughts on a better name? Reply and let me know.

I had a great time with Jim Fuhs on the Making A Marketer livestream reunion hosted by Megan Powers and Jen Cole.

Want a better understanding of how to make the X algorithm work for you? Read this thread.

I mentioned Zealous above. Check out this audiogram I created in the app. This tool allows me to easily repurpose my Spaces content. You can do this for podcasts too!

Below that you'll see the ones I host, co-host, and spoke in. You can listen to replays of past conversations and also add upcoming ones to your calendar.

That's It!
