Opinion: You should never pay to be on a podcast

I never accept these invitations, but I do read them – and sometimes I go to their websites if the hosts have one. — Image by StockSnap from Pixabay

Hey, Charlatans: Don’t send me multiple invitations to be on your phony pay-for-play business podcast.

Look, I get a lot of invitations to be on a lot of podcasts. But you know as well as I do that there are so many podcasts out there that this doesn’t even qualify as a humblebrag. It’s like bragging that “I get a lot of spam emails.” Because it’s just a by-product of my name being out here on the Internets and that’s all my fault.
