## Resource

Most podcasters send a cold email and wait. Trish Manzo picks up a physical phone. She launched the Ride to Independence podcast about a year ago and grew it to roughly 45,000 YouTube subscribers by publishing three themed episodes a week and booking the guests she wants with old fashioned cold calls. Before podcasting she built a children's music program that served more than 450 families and ran it for 18 years before selling it. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Trish Manzo reveals why cold calling converts where email and LinkedIn quietly stall and why she books guests on the first call, how giving each topic its own day of the week trains listeners to come back, why she is building the audience first and letting monetization wait, and how a surprise press junket had her interviewing seven actors back to back in four hours. Want to grow faster without a bigger budget? Pick up the phone, book the guest you actually want, and give your listeners more than one reason a week to come back.
