Leave a Review and Help Feed Seniors Impacted by Covid
In this special bonus episode, I want to share how you can be part of an awesome social good initiative thanks to the good folks at Podchaser and Captivate.
Podchaser is a podcast directory – think of it as the IMDB of podcasting. Here, you can follow shows, follow creators, create lists of your favourite podcasts, and more.
As part of their #Reviews4Good program, Podchaser will donate $0.25 for any review left on their platform to Meals on Wheels America's Go Further fund. Additionally, for every review left on an individual episode, they will donate a further $0.25.
Not only that, but any time a podcaster replies to a review, they will donate a further $0.25.
Double the Donation Thanks to Captivate!
But it gets even better! My podcast host, Captivate (disclaimer: I'm on the Captivate team) will match these donations for every review (show or episode) as well as podcaster reply, up to $1,000.
So, technically, if you leave a review for your favourite podcast, and the podcater replies to that review, the donation to the #Reviews4Good program will be $1.00, thanks to Captivate's match.
This initiative runs through the month of April, so, what are you waiting for?
- Create an account on Podchaser (you can sign up via email, or with your Twitter, Facebook, or Google account), or log in if you already have an account
- After you’ve verified your email address, head over to Podchaser and search for Podcaster Stories, or click this direct link
- Scroll down until you see the Podcast Reviews section, and click Add a Review
- Leave the amount of Rating Stars you wish to give, and then enter your review in the Review box
- Click Save
And that’s it – your review will now be live, and I’ll get a notification of it soon. If you do leave me a review, email me to let me know, I’d love to give you a shout out on the show!
