The debut pod has already hit No.80 in the UK podcast charts on the very first day! Great result! Well done Mary Ann and Emily - we are super-proud of you for taking the massive action needed to get the show up and running. Top 100 Podcasters!!!!

Hey Pod Schoolers, Our lovely Pod School and Pod School PRO member @Mary Ann Smith is launching her brand new podcast today and - having just listened to the trailer - it is going to be a great show! LISTEN ON APPLE PODCAST https://tinyurl.com/distancediariespodcast LISTEN ON SPOTIFY https://tinyurl.com/distancediariesspotify Mary Ann is based in Scotland and her daughter @Emily Henaghen (also a Pod School and Pod School PRO member) has moved out to Dubai (lucky her!) so this podcast is all about how a long-distance family relationship works. I love the concept of this and the production that I have heard so far is spot on! We will always support our members' shows - especially on launch day - so if you can go and give the show a watch / listen, leave a rating or review it will really help the pod start with a bang. Here's what the show is all about according to Mary Ann and Emily themselves: "Get ready for The Distance Diaries! A heartwarming podcast where a mother in Scotland and a daughter in Dubai bridge the miles with meaningful conversations. Join Mary Ann Smith and Emily as they share their stories, explore the ups and downs of long-distance living, and celebrate the unbreakable bond that keeps them connected. 🌍💌 Tune in for laughter, life lessons, and the little moments that make the distance worth it. 🎙✨" GO SHOW THEM SOME LOVE
