Shira and Arielle here! Dropping in for a bonus episode. We walked around Manhattan with The Great Saunter in early May. What's the connection to the premise of this show? Great question. Well, we *counted* our steps.

Hit play to listen to us share dispatches from throughout the journey.

Things we mentioned:

• The Great Saunter
• Serrano Salsa

In 2021, we published an episode on Counting Crows. We promised you back then, dear listeners, that if Counting Crows ever went on tour again, we'd make it our BUSINESS to get there to see them. Well, it finally happened.

In July 2023, Counter Programming hosts Shira Moskowitz and Arielle Nissenblatt headed to Jones Beach to see Counting Crows live. In this episode, we share our experience at the show.

Listen for:

• Shira forgetting her wallet
• Arielle not understanding how concerts work
• A review of Huntington's best pizza joint
• Our favorite concert attendees and why they rocked
• A snippet of "Mr. Jones" live
• So much more

Hello Counties! It's been a minute but we're back with a feed drop!

We were recently interviewed by the co-founders of SquadCast.fm, Zach Moreno and Rock Felder, on their podcast, Between Two Mics: The Remote Recording Podcast.

They asked us to join them because when we wrapped season 2 of our podcast, Arielle posted this epic tweet thread about podcast marketing. In it, Arielle writes about how in just 14 months, with no network backing, no ad budget, and a niche topic, we were able to reach 100,000 downloads for the podcast. In this interview, we explain how we did it. We also discuss how Counter Programming came to be, we talk about our friendship, and lots more.

We hope you enjoy it.

We've missed ya, Counties!

Sneak peek of what we discuss:

• Clear and concise messaging AKA over-communication
• Strategic promo & social swaps
• Pitching AND catching
• Sporadic guesting
• In-app placement

This episode is longer than usual but it's worth it!
