Introducing The Podcast Riddle Challenge

Prizes provided by

The Squeeze

As huge fans of podcasts (duh), we love getting podcast recommendations from our friends. That’s why we subscribe to many podcast newsletters. We feel this is the best way to hear about great podcasts.

So, we’ve decided to have a fun contest to encourage you to learn about some newsletters that maybe aren’t on your radar yet. The beauty is that all of our newsletters are different. 

In the month of October 2022, each participating podcast newsletter will include its own unique podcast riddle in their newsletter and all you have to do is guess the name of the podcast it’s referring to. Here’s an example below. Can you guess the podcast this is talking about?

People come to our live storytelling events,
to tell their personal stories of life and laments.
Our podcast pulls from our long-running Radio Hour,
that millions of fans love to devour.

Join the fun for a chance to win a Sonos Roam speaker!

Prizes are provided by The Squeeze, Skye Pillsbury’s free weekly newsletter that pulls back the curtain on the podcasting industry via investigative reporting, interviews, and commentary. Subscribe here.
