I'm Cody Gough. I build the attribution infrastructure that connects podcast listening to revenue — and the growth strategy that makes it compound. 20 years in audio.
“Cody doesn't just grow downloads — he builds systems that connect listening to actual business outcomes.”
“The measurement framework alone changed how our leadership thinks about podcast investment.”
Real attribution infrastructure. Real growth outcomes.

Most podcast teams still rely on UTM links and download counts. I build the attribution layer that maps listener behavior to sessions, pipeline, and revenue — the infrastructure your CFO can actually defend. This is where every engagement starts.
Content-market fit, packaging, and organic optimization that builds a listener base worth attributing. Move past downloads as a vanity metric and into audience quality.
Translate paid investment into repeat listeners with a rightsized budget, best-in-class channel mix, and creative testing. Buying can stay in-house or with your agency — I quarterback strategy and weekly optimization.
Repurposing architecture that turns episodes into multi-channel acquisition assets — without sacrificing quality.
Real systems. Real attribution. Real numbers.
Built full-funnel attribution for a publicly traded personal finance platform with nine-figure annual revenue — mapping listener behavior to account openings, sessions, and downstream revenue.
Improvement in paid media ROAS after rebuilding paid and organic strategy for a top personal finance podcast.
YoY organic lift by pairing a best-in-class paid media strategy with retention-focused content optimization for a top travel podcast.
Weekly listeners built for Curiosity Daily, driving Curiosity.com's acquisition by Warner Bros Discovery.
Award-winning content across Webbys, Ambies, iHeartPodcast Awards, and more.
“The gap between ‘a podcast’ and ‘a growth channel’ is a repeatable system: content-market fit, disciplined testing, and attribution you trust.”
Here's how I separate signal from noise.
“100 years of radio habit-building beats 1 year of podcast hype every single time.”
From WGN Radio to the World Economic Forum to building chart-topping podcasts for Warner Bros Discovery and NerdWallet. Today I build the attribution infrastructure that gives enterprise podcast programs a seat at the revenue table — and the growth strategy to fill it.
LinkedIn ↗I answered tens of thousands of listener calls as a producer at WGN Radio — unfiltered feedback that taught me the disconnect between what creators say and what audiences hear. That listener intuition is something most podcasters never develop, and it's one of my biggest competitive advantages.
Executive-facing comms and content strategy for consulting firm Kearney onsite at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, the pinnacle of B2B marketing. Every piece of content had to be precise, strategic, and instantly credible for C-suite audiences.
Built scalable end-to-end content systems, including strategy, scripting, production, and distribution. Curiosity Daily grew to 100K+ weekly listeners across 1,000+ episodes, becoming the growth engine that facilitated a major media acquisition by Warner Bros Discovery.
Led the production department of a mid-sized B2B podcast agency, transforming it from an editing service into a strategic creative partner for 100+ clients. Coached CEOs and CMOs on strategy, improving their production efficiencies by 25% — which directly resulted in retaining $350K+ in at-risk annual revenue for the agency.
I build the attribution layer first, mapping listener behavior to sessions, conversions, and downstream revenue so every growth decision is defensible. Most enterprise teams are flying blind on podcast ROI. I fix that, then scale what works.
Currently accepting select 2026 fractional engagements through my consulting company, Quantum Podcasts, LLC.
