200k+ subs on a new podcast
You need video clips in order to grow your podcast. But most podcast clips are long and boring, since podcasts are long and meandering.
The solution?
Come up with viral “segments” that aren’t in your podcast, but go viral on short form.
These guys are funny, but they aren’t world class comedians. Almost anybody can do this.
3 Ideas for companies + one with examples:
Cursor
“Things devs say right after using AI to write code”
Rules of vibe coding that don’t exist”
Nicknames for your AI copilot that don’t exist
GPTeezy
The Brogrammer
The minister of technology
Uncle Bezos
The code goblin
The prompt father
Don Promptleone
Claude almighty
When life gives you LLMs
Toxic gemini
The intern
(ABG) Agent baby girl
The rest is history podcast
“Things ancient people absolutely believed (for no reason)”
“Sentences that end badly in history”
“Historical job descriptions that should scare you”
Ramp
“Ways founders say they’re out of runway (that don’t exist)”
“Things CFOs say instead of ‘stop spending money’”
“Ways founders describe spending money they regret”
Results:
2.2k ratings (proxy for popularity) on a 2.3 year old podcast. That’s almost 50% of the listenership of Founders (4.9k ratings), 9.3 years old. Or My First Million (4.8k ratings), 6.5 years old.
