About Cody McLaughlin
Hi, I’m Cody McLaughlin. I run Trout Stream Studios, where I help podcasters launch, grow, and monetize their shows — whether they’re indie creators or media organizations with entire networks.
Over the past few years, I’ve been behind the scenes of hundreds of podcasts, working with clients like news publishers, legacy magazines, nonprofit causes, and brands across almost every podcast category from Wilderness + Sports (where I cut my teeth) to ultracompetitive categories like News + Politics, True Crime, Christianity, Business and beyond. Along the way, I’ve tested just about every podcasting tool out there — some amazing, some... not so much.
In this newsletter, I share my curated tech stack, trusted tools, and strategies that work — with occasional discounts and behind-the-scenes insights from the world of podcasting.
