Rewind to January 2013, and you’ll find Radix founder Fiona-Campbell Howes and Content Marketing Manager Emily King huddled in a crude cardboard fort with a microphone and mixer.

No, they weren’t kickstarting a career in bedroom indie pop; they were busy making history. Good Copy, Bad Copy is now 50. And it’s all thanks to you, our loyal listeners.

For this super special episode, we thought it made sense to do something substantial, or at least something to justify the massive cake we’ve just scoffed to celebrate. And who can say “no” to a good old-fashioned chart countdown?

In the next 28 minutes and 53 seconds, we’ll upload 50 – count ’em – 50 copywriting tips direct to your brain, like Neo learning Kung-Fu. And not just from the Radix archives, either. We’re talking copywriting wisdom from some of the best in the (business to) business.

It’s the fastest (and possibly silliest) masterclass you’ve ever heard.

Listen in now and discover:

  • The humble beginnings of Good Copy, Bad Copy
  • Copywriting tips from leading B2B copywriters worldwide
  • What to do if your writing isn’t hitting the mark
  • How B2B masters overcome everyday writing hurdles
