Customer Reviews
The best daily digital marketing podcast
Kia Ora from New Zealand!
I’ve been meaning to leave a review on this podcast for some time now. I just wanted to say thank you Tod for providing us digital marketers with such valuable and up-to-date news for our industry!
It’s fair to say that you have become a staple part of my morning routine for the last two years - either when I commute to the office or work from my desk at home. I’ve even managed to get some of my co-workers to tune in!
Thanks for the great content, and if you ever need a New Zealand correspondent please reach out.
