      <title>Gimlet 23: Shadowed Qualities</title>
      <description>This week, Alex receives feedback about his job performance from his co-workers, friends, and family. Some of it is good, some less so. But there is something else that comes up during the review process that shocks him.
We explore what happens when you unpack your emotional baggage—or someone unpacks it for you—and you realize the unexpected effect that it has been having on your team.
In this final Gimlet-focused episode of season four, we take a raw and intimate look at a defining moment in the trajectory of a CEO.

      <title>Gimlet 22: You Can't Wear a Suit Here</title>
      <description>Growth. It can be exciting, it can be motivating, and it can be really stressful. In this week’s episode, we take a look at the tensions that Gimlet’s growth spurt is creating. 
We speak with the team producing one of our upcoming shows to see what it’s really like to build a podcast from the ground up. Each of them is being asked to step up to the plate in a way that they never have before, and some are realizing that the support they expected, it just isn’t there. 
People are pushed to their limits, emotions run high, and things that have remained hitherto unsaid are finally aired.

      <title>Gimlet 21: Diversification of Worry</title>
      <description>StartUp is back! And we’re kicking Season 4 off with an update on what’s happening here at Gimlet Media. 
Since the start of the year, Gimlet has more than doubled in size. And while growth is often the goal for a startup, it also costs a lot of money. In this episode, Alex and his team ask themselves some very scary questions: How are they going to pay for all this growth? And what will happen if they can’t? 
With a larger staff and six new shows launching in the fall, this feels like a particularly pivotal moment at the company. There are big decisions to be made, with potentially even bigger consequences.

      <title>Gimlet 19: Diversity Report</title>
      <description>If you were to walk into Gimlet HQ, there are a few things you’d probably notice right off the bat. First, it’s crowded - like a grungy dorm room. Second, the lighting… it’s not great. Not many windows. Third, it’s white. Really white. 24 of Gimlet’s 27 employees are white. In this episode, we look at diversity (or lack thereof) at Gimlet. And we try to figure out what diversity should mean for the company going forward. 
The Facts:
Our theme song was written and performed by Mark Phillips.
John Kimbrough composed music for this episode.
More music written and performed by John Delore along with his band mates, Jordan Scanella, Sam Merrick and Isamu McGregor.

      <itunes:summary>If you were to walk into Gimlet HQ, there are a few things you’d probably notice right off the bat. First, it’s crowded - like a grungy dorm room. Second, the lighting… it’s not great. Not many windows. Third, it’s white. Really white. 24 of Gimlet’s 27 employees are white. In this episode, we look at diversity (or lack thereof) at Gimlet. And we try to figure out what diversity should mean for the company going forward. 
The Facts:
Our theme song was written and performed by Mark Phillips.
John Kimbrough composed music for this episode.
More music written and performed by John Delore along with his band mates, Jordan Scanella, Sam Merrick and Isamu McGregor.

      <title>Gimlet 18: Pitch Perfect 2</title>
      <description>Gimlet is growing fast. We have four shows on the air, and several others in pre-production. If we want to grow faster, though, we could use some more cash. Matt and Alex head back into the world of venture capital, deciding whether or not to raise another round of financing, this time, much bigger.

      <title>Gimlet 17: Words About Words From Our Sponsors</title>
      <description>Gimlet is starting a new line of business, and it’s a complicated one: Branded content. Branded content is a piece of media (a video, a story, a podcast, etc.) paid for by a company that then has editorial control over the product. Lots of companies have been asking Gimlet to make podcasts for them. But, as we see in this episode, there are some very real anxieties about how to do this right. 
As part of this episode, we’ve put together Gimlet Media’s Advertising Guidelines. You can find them on our website.

      <title>Gimlet 16: The Secret Formula</title>
      <description>Gimlet is making a big, expensive bet. The kind of bet that could make or break the company. And it’s a bet that comes down to one factor: What is Gimlet’s competitive advantage? As the company launches its fourth new show, “Surprisingly Awesome,” we take a deep dive in to how the show was made. From the kernel of an idea to the final product. And, along the way, we look at what we believe is Gimlet’s secret formula for making podcasts.

      <title>Gimlet 13: Fake It Til You Make It</title>
      <description>Episode 13 addresses a question that has been dogging us since the company’s beginnings: Are we a technology company or a content company?
This question led to months of debate. Many voices weighed in on either side, including Marco Arment, the lead developer of Tumblr and creator of Instapaper, who came in surprisingly anti-tech.
A few weeks back, we had a breakthrough when one of the most successful tech companies in the world paid a visit to the Gimlet Media headquarters.
SPOILER: Check out the video demo of the app prototype we built with Google Ventures on this week’s episode of StartUp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqGLrMjBLZ4 
We should caveat that this is not a real app, it’s just a prototype - a series of images stitched together to give the appearance of an app. You can’t download it in the App store, or anywhere else.
After you watch the video, we’d love your feedback. Fill out our survey about the prototype here: http://bit.ly/1HPFFWu
