From Substack's creator equity model to Beehiiv's ad-network play, they map the shifting landscape where independent writers and media companies collide. They examine real newsletters — Morning Brew, The Hustle, Lenny's Letter — to understand what drives growth, retention, and monetization. Lucas, a former journalist, pushes for the editorial side: How do you build a voice that compels opens? Luna, grounded in audience data, counters with open rates, churn curves, and unit economics. Together, they debate the tension between sponsored content and reader-funded models, the role of SEO and social distribution, and the fragility of a business built on a single inbox. This is not a how-to guide; it's a forensic look at a medium reshaping media. If you run a newsletter, think about starting one, or simply subscribe to a dozen, their conversations will change how you see that daily email. What happens when a writer's list becomes their primary asset — and what happens when it doesn't? #EmailNewsletter #Substack #Beehiiv #NewsletterBusiness #CreatorEconomy #MorningBrew #Medi…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:17:59.331548+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-newsletter-podcast-with-fexingo-substack-beehiiv-and-email-newsletter-business-7871729"},"episode":{"title":"How Newsletters Use Podcasts to Grow Their Subscriber Base","slug":"how-newsletters-use-podcasts-to-grow-their-subscriber-base","published_at":"2026-06-26T06:36:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-newsletter-podcast-with-fexingo-substack-beehiiv-and-email-newsletter-business-7871729/how-newsletters-use-podcasts-to-grow-their-subscriber-base","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-newsletter-podcast-with-fexingo-substack-beehiiv-and-email-newsletter-business-7871729","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-newsletter-podcast/episode-0075.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-newsletter-podcast/episode-0075.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how newsletter creators are leveraging podcasting to attract new subscribers and deepen engagement with existing ones.

Lucas shares data showing that newsletters with podcasts have 30% higher retention rates among subscribers who listen.
