Friends of the Pod

I know what you’re thinking, “where’s the puppy?!” We’re rolling the dice this week and hoping you’ll read this anyway.

Also, I’m not sure if you know this yet, but we’re famous. Well, we’re going to be famous on August 10th. Bigly famous. Internet Radio famous.

What you see above is the inside of the podcast studio located in the backyard of Brooklyn’s own Roberta’s Pizza. Here, inside two retrofitted shipping containers, is where The Heritage Radio Network makes its home, and where they produce a variety of podcasts that drive over 1 MILLION listeners a month, from over 65 countries.

One of those podcasts (arguably the most important one) is Tech Bites. Tech Bites is a weekly show that features “the innovators of technology and food” (that’s us!) and how technology impacts our culinary lives. It’s produced and hosted by Jennifer Leuzzi, who is great, and the show is now more than 100 episodes strong.

Our episode features Mike and I talking about Etch, what it does, and how we came up with the idea, as well as some of our thoughts on technology and how it’s helping people discover new places to try. It will drop on Thursday, August 10th (don’t worry, we’ll remind you), so we’d love it if you’ll download it and give it a listen when it’s available.


We Have a Winner!

Remember that contest we ran last week? Of course you do! Thanks to everyone who participated by sharing what they love about Etch with their social networks. We were definitely feeling the love on our end!

While we’d love to send everyone a snazzy Etch t-shirt and $50, we’re still self-funded and we’re told that would be a pretty dumb way to spend our budget for the next 3 months. So, unfortunately there can only be one winner, and that person is… Roei G.!!!

Editor’s note: I promise that he is an actual person and not someone we just made up so we didn’t have to spend any money on a prize. Anyone who has exhibited at a trade show knows that little game but that’s not how we roll here at Etch!

So keep an eye on that mailbox Roei because you’re about to be the most stylish kid on the block.

For those of you who weren’t as lucky, you’re on your own style-wise, but don’t fret, we’ll likely do this again soon. Also, you still showed your social media friends how savvy you are by recommending the hottest new app on the planet (remember, we’re podcast celebs now), so in the end you’re all winners.


See You Next Week!

That’s it for another edition of the Etch Weekly Newsletter. We hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoy writing it. Lastly, since you didn’t get your puppy fix at the beginning, here’s your prize for making it to the end.

As always, if you know anyone who might be interested in trying Etch, or even just reading about what we’re up to on a weekly basis, please forward this along using that big “Forward” link below, and encourage them to subscribe.

FORWARD!
