Today, I’m thrilled to announce an incredible addition to the Podpage team: Dave Jackson is joining us as Head of Podcasting! 🎉
About Dave
Dave Jackson needs no introduction, but he certainly deserves one. As the founder of the School of Podcasting, Dave has empowered thousands of podcasters to master the craft and launch successful shows. His induction into the Podcaster Hall of Fame speaks volumes about his influence and dedication. For the past eight years, he has served as the Head of Podcaster Education at Libsyn, shaping the future of podcasting education. Dave is a true pioneer and legend in the podcasting world.
How We Met
In early 2020, when I embarked on the journey of building Podpage, I sought out the wisdom of those who truly understood the podcasting landscape. During my research, Dave Jackson's name shone brightly at the top of the list of podcasting experts.
In April 2020, I had the privilege of booking a consulting session with him. Here’s the note I included in the booking link:
“I’m interested in getting your thoughts and advice on the product and the podcast website market. I feel like the product is solid (and getting better) but the homepage/marketing isn’t dialed in yet. I’d love to chat in general about how I can best serve the podcast community with this.”
The call with Dave was a turning point. His invaluable insights and visionary advice inspired many of Podpage’s initial features. He invited me on the School of Podcasting shortly thereafter, and since then, Dave has become one of our most passionate advocates. He even created a Podpage Course for the School of Podcasting. His unwavering support and feedback have been pivotal in shaping Podpage into what it is today.
A few months ago, I realized the time had come to invest even more deeply in the Podpage Podcaster community. There were so many more ways we could serve our customers, from enhanced documentation to ongoing education and superior support. When considering the ideal person to lead this initiative, Dave’s name was the clear choice.
I proposed the idea to Dave, and together we envisioned an incredible role that will significantly benefit the Podpage community and product. Today, I am overjoyed to welcome him to the team.
Launching Today
We want podcasters to immediately feel the impact of Dave’s presence on the Podpage team. To that end, we are launching the following:

Dave will host weekly sessions open to everyone. These webinars will feature demonstrations of Podpage’s powerful features and a Q&A segment. Whether you are a new Podpage customer, a seasoned user, or simply curious about what Podpage can do, these sessions will be enlightening and inspiring.

We are excited to introduce live support, taking our customer service to the next level. While we have successfully supported thousands of customers through chat and email, some issues are best resolved through live interaction. This new option will ensure that even the most complex problems are addressed efficiently.
