We got to chatting about who listens to our podcast and we wondered how many listeners have been with us from the beginning. How many of you know much about us at all?
With that question in mind, we thought it would be fun to replay our very first episode. We didn't have a fancy recording set up so the sound is sketchy but we had a lot of fun. And this episode has the best outtake ever.
Tune in to discover how long we've been in the business of copywriting, Kate’s first copywriting project, Belinda’s surprising career before copywriting and the writer’s fetish we admit to on air.
