The Knife Alien File: A Content Bonanza
The one rule you can never break when working for a content mill
Literally 2 Cents About Content! is a podcast about content mills and the broader concept of labeling all creative work "content." Why do we call everything anyone produces "content"?

Check out Liz's website at https://lizmakesstuff.com and Alex's site at www.content-lab.agency
Alex and Liz talk about the one topic you can never ever write about at content mills. Also included are two on-air readings of archetypal content mill content, except we break that taboo and write about He Who Shall Not Be Named.
