    Short, sweet, and entertaining
    A great podcast that provides gems in a short and sweet way! Daniel is a great interviewer that asks questions we all want to know
  • The7thDecade
    Excellent Podcast
    I’m new to The Instagram Stories Podcast, having listened to only the recent (and outstanding) Taylor Lorenz interview. I found that Daniel asked many of the same questions that I would have wanted answers to. Daniel is prepared, thorough and insightful. His style is informative and friendly. If the Lorenz interview is any indication of the level of outstanding audio journalism, this podcast will be at the top of my weekly playlist.
  • What what !
    A good listen
    Part of my Amazon Echo morning routine. Although I am not active on social media, if I were to suddenly change my mind and become a super influencer …I am up to date on all the tips and tricks to get started 😜 Definitely a good listen👍🏽

    The BEST way to keep up and SUCCEED using social media
    THE BEST GO TO PODCAST TO KEEP AN EDGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Daniel Hill Media is an excellent way to get an edge on social media and use social media as a tool to build your business or brand. I have been one of the top fashion and beauty photographers for over 10 years now working with big brands here in New York. I started as a photographer before social media…. Yes I know this dates me but I didn’t use social media I have been listening to Daniel Hill’s podcast every morning on my Alexia by adding Daniel Hill Media to my flash briefing on my Alexia. I highly recommend adding this to your flash briefings too. Personally I have found the flash briefing on Alexia to be a great way to stay current by listing to procured content every morning while I am getting ready, a time that would normally be wasted. So I stay up on how to keep an edge on Instagram while getting ready in the morning. I recently found Daniel’s podcast on Apple and have been blown away at the extra depth that he goes into into a much longer form. The daily flash briefing gives me a few minutes each day which for me is the best way to stay current daily. Finding Daniel Hill’s larger format sessions which build on the flash briefing news is awsome. I am a fashion/beauty photographer and started back in the day before social media was important and used just word of mouth to stay brooked for over a decade. Daniel Hill Media has helped keep me up to date and keep an edge being ahead of the IG algorithm. OVERALL THIS IS A DO NOT MISS IF YOU ARE A CREATIVE. Thanks Daniel Hill for all your hard work. Cheers, James

    Interesting and helpful tips
    I have Daniel Hill Media’s Instagram Minute as part of my daily flash briefing on Alexa. As a consultant for small businesses it is helpful to have the jargon and updates broken down into tips. Being current in the ever evolving and changing world of social media is a critical part of staying relevant and this podcast helps achieve that.

    If you are a creator or business owner
    If you are a creator or business owner you need to make Daniel Hill Media part of your daily morning routine I have an ALEXA, set up my news flash briefing , and randomly found this “Instagram news” due to me being a business owner as well as content creator, i Added Instagram news to my cue. NOW I have been listening to “the Instagram news” for YEARS now. It’s one of the only independent shows that’s remained on my flash briefing because; I love how Daniel gets straight to the point, as an Instagram creator. He helps me to keep up on the Instagram updates that my creative brain wouldn’t have the patience look up myself. He stays on topic, and doesn’t sideline to his own opinions on a subject unrelated to Instagram. Short version of all of this: If you want to stay up to date on Instagram and how things like reels and stories keep changing, FOLLOW THIS PODCAST. (Or listen on your Alexa like I do!!)

    Such great content!
    We have a podcast and have been addicted to Daniel’s podcast to help us grow and improve our Instagram presence. He has a lot of amazing tips and insights that we either didn’t know or had t thought of before. The episodes are also so easy to consume. Definitely give it a listen!
  • @CoachMona.G
    Thank You Daniel Hill!
    I recently discovered this podcast, and have been binging on the episodes! I get so much value, and ideas that I can implement, as well as the education that I can pass along to my clients! I am a social media 101 coach that caters to baby boomers, and there is SO much to learn (and teach), so we can compete in this online world, even though we didn’t grow up with a device in our hands! Thank you Daniel Hill! 👩🏻‍💻

    Phenomenal Morning News
    I listen to Daniel and his Instagram Stories every morning as part of my “Morning Routine” on Alexa! It’s a must in this ever changing digital business world. Thanks Daniel!

    Great IG Podcast
    I’ve been searching and listening to different podcasts about Instagram for a couple years. I’ve had a IG account for a while but don’t post much, yet. I’m planning out a strategy to use it thoughtfully and with purpose; Not just looking to post to get likes but to create content that is authentic and important to me. This is by far the best IG podcast for me. Although Daniel has a lot of knowledge about Instagram and how to use it for different reasons, he is open-minded to learn more and share that knowledge by interviewing guests who know more than he does and I get to learn by listening to their conversations. I save all the podcasts and re-listen on the drive to and from work. Mahalo Daniel. Keep up the great work.

    InstaWisdom in Every Episode
    Listened to multiple episodes on a recent road trip and I can honestly say that I took something away from every episode. Daniel does a great job of bringing on content experts in a variety of areas that will help you grow your audience and improve your content. Highly recommend this podcast.

    Super Helpful for Newbies
    So far I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. There is a variety of guests, with all different viewpoints and categories of tips. For a relatively “newbie” to Instagram for business, I have found it super helpful. I also really enjoy the questions asked and the style of conversation that just flows really naturally.
