Why Beehiiv is Betting on Podcasts with Ainsley Rossitto

Show Notes

Ainsley Rossitto is the first Head of Podcasts at Beehiiv, a publishing platform built to help creators grow and monetize their audiences. Beehiiv was founded in 2021 by Tyler Denk, an early employee at Morning Brew, and has since grown into a platform serving 60,000 newsletter writers. Unlike platforms that are increasingly trying to become destinations or social networks themselves, Beehiiv has positioned itself as the infrastructure behind creators and their audiences.

This conversation covers:

What it means for Beehiiv to be an “operating system for creators” as opposed to simply a newsletter platform.
The advantages posed to creators that have a newsletter, website, subscriptions and podcast connected to each other.

What the podcast hosting landscape may look like in the next five years, and what role YouTube and video may have in that future.
