This is my 2022 year in review. I've been writing these every year since 2013. Traditionally, these have focused on my business highlights: what's happening with the podcasting SaaS I run with Jon Buda (Transistor.fm), thoughts on bootstrapping and startups, plus any other personal experiences I feel I can share publicly.

What happened in 2022 for Transistor.fm
With a team of four people, we were able to launch a lot more features than in previous years.

• Updated podcast website builder (and new themes)
• Multiple languages for podcast websites
• Free podcast website builder for non-Transistor customers
• Podcast achievement badges
• Multiple improvements to Dynamic Ad Insertion
• Episode timestamp links
• Multiple improvements to podcast analytics: episode comparison charts
• Guest, host, and creator profiles for podcast websites
• Cool MP3 chapter feature that automatically generates timestamps
• Remove email address from the RSS feed, so you don't get spam
• Added a few new Podcasting 2.0 tags (and joined the Podcast Standards Project)
• Big refresh to the Transistor marketing website

I spent the last few months of 2022 trying to improve Transistor's search results for terms like "how to start a podcast" (both on Google and YouTube).
