This week’s #TBTWChallenge is to take the time to leave a review for all the podcasts you listen to regularly (and this one). In Apple Podcasts, you have to scroll down forever past the latest episodes, and then click WRITE A REVIEW under the Ratings & Review box. So often, for an independent podcaster, it’s the encouraging words from the community that keeps them going.
