In this episode of Behind the Workflow powered by Northflow, hosts Simona Costantini and Taly Melo sit down with Greg Wasserman, Head of Relationships at RSS.com, to uncover what really drives successful podcasts – and it’s not downloads, it’s relationships.

Greg has appeared on more than 100 shows, giving him a front-row seat into what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to podcast workflows, guest onboarding, and monetization. Together, they explore the systems that keep podcasts running smoothly, from guest booking and prep forms to content repurposing and programmatic ads.

The biggest workflow mistakes guests and hosts make
