Podcast as a Networking Instrument
A guest-first interview show run as an outreach system, not a content show.
What it is
The Between Systems podcast (/podcast) is a content-as-code networking instrument: the guest is the unit, each per-guest page is the shareable deliverable, and a full admin toolchain (invite → prep → publish+audio-upload → follow-up) drives outreach. Plus a public pitch intake, per-guest analytics, an iTunes/Podcasting-2.0 feed, generated cover art, and share assets (OG cards, clips, embeds, press kits, vCards).

Why call it a networking instrument?
The audio is exhaust; the product is a legitimate, flattering reason to talk to the people you want to reach — plus a public page with the guest’s name on it that makes the next ask easier.
What does the toolchain do?
Admin generators cover the whole guest lifecycle — invitation, prep, publish (with audio upload), and follow-up — alongside an outreach pipeline, per-guest analytics, and a public "apply to be a guest" intake.
