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!

Hey, welcome to this special episode of Podcaster Stories. This

Speaker:

week's going to be a really quick one, and it's

Speaker:

about a, a, a cool initiative by the folks over

Speaker:

at Podchaser the is Lake, The IMDP of Podcasts, and

Speaker:

it's a great place to find new podcasts and new

Speaker:

creators create your own lists, et cetera, as well as

Speaker:

real leave reviews and ratings from your favorite shows and

Speaker:

episodes. And what they are doing during the month of

Speaker:

April is they've got the Reviews for good initiative and

Speaker:

Reviews for Good is partnering with Meals on Wheels, America,

Speaker:

to help provide food aid, wellness checks, et cetera, for

Speaker:

Seniors impacted by COVID 19 in the us. Right now,

Speaker:

it doesn't matter that you're not in the U S

Speaker:

I'm in Canada.

Speaker:

It's just a great initiative to be part of the

Speaker:

van, you know, to give back to, and it's really

Speaker:

simple to give back to it in the month of

Speaker:

April, thanks to Podchaser. And also My podcast host Captivate,

Speaker:

which I'm a part of the team as well. So

Speaker:

a lot of just clean or that, but basically what

Speaker:

Podchaser is doing for Reviews for Good is for every

Speaker:

Review that has left for a podcast in the month

Speaker:

of April, they will donate 25 cents to Meals on

Speaker:

Wheels. America is Go Further fund for every episode Review.

Speaker:

They will also donate 25 cents. And if the Podcaster

Speaker:

replies to that, have you either a day for the

Speaker:

show or episode, Totani a father of twenty-five cents. So

Speaker:

essentially they can be at an eight and 50 cents

Speaker:

per Review that you'll leave it for your favorite podcast

Speaker:

or your favorite episode.

Speaker:

However, thanks to Captivate. We are going to match these

Speaker:

reviews before show level and episode level, as well as

Speaker:

it applies from the podcast. And in question, and we

Speaker:

will match that up to an amount of a thousand

Speaker:

dollars. So for example, you'll leave a review for your

Speaker:

favorite podcast and a podcast that applies that's 50 sense

Speaker:

from Podchaser, but that will also be 50 cents from

Speaker:

Captivate, making a dollar, going to Meals and Wheels go

Speaker:

for the fund for that one single review, which is

Speaker:

pretty awesome. So if you want to be involved and

Speaker:

you want to help, you know, my little humble should

Speaker:

get some more interviews as well on Podchaser, or you

Speaker:

can do this really easily head on over to Podcaster

Speaker:

Stories dot com forward slash Review, and you'll see the

Speaker:

instructions there on how you can leave it to view.

Speaker:

It will take you over to the Podchaser website. We

Speaker:

can create a quick account using, you know, either your

Speaker:

social profile, our Gmail or something like that. And then

Speaker:

you can leave a review for the show and I'll

Speaker:

be notified. I can jump on and say, thank you

Speaker:

and apply it to the Review. No, because my podcast,

Speaker:

as I mentioned, has hosted on Captivate. Not only will

Speaker:

that a Review get 50 cents because of your review

Speaker:

and my reply from Podchaser, it will kill a Further

Speaker:

50 cents from Captivate, meaning that your view has no

Speaker:

send $1 to the Meals on Wheels. America is Go

Speaker:

Further fund, which is pretty awesome. You can go to

Speaker:

Podcaster Stories dot com forward slash Review, scroll down a

Speaker:

little bit. Do you see the purchase?

Speaker:

So details, head on over saying up, leave a review

Speaker:

and you're good to go. And it's just a really

Speaker:

cool where to help Seniors. I have been impacted by

Speaker:

the COVID-19 pandemic. So again, thanks. So you got involved.

Speaker:

I really appreciate it. And let me know if you

Speaker:

do a little bit of youth, like I say, I'll

Speaker:

get in a fight, but you know, send me a

Speaker:

quick email or tweet me at Danny Brown CA and

Speaker:

I'd be more than happy to give a shout-out on

Speaker:

a shot. Thanks a lot. We'll be back with the

Speaker:

final episode in season three next week, I'll be taken

Speaker:

a small break a juror the month of may. I'm

Speaker:

trying to remember what month it would. And so we

Speaker:

take out a small break during a month of may

Speaker:

to a regroup, RE you going to re-energize myself, or

Speaker:

if you're like, Oh, and then the returning with season

Speaker:
