Live Stream for Your Podcast Questions August 9th
|
Happy Friday! At least it's Friday when I wrote this. :) Just a quick one, to let you know I'm hosting a live stream on Saturday August 9th at 9.30am Pacific / 12.30pm Eastern / 5.30pm UK time. This is a bi-monthly live stream where I'll be answering any questions you have about podcasting - getting started, gear, software, hardware, growing your show, understanding data, and much more. Basically, any question you have, I'll be here to answer it (and if I don't know the answer, I'll find out from someone who does and reply in the following live stream). This is a transition from my audio-first podcast, One Minute Podcast Tips, and it allows me to be much more interactive and effective at answering the specific questions you have for your show. To make sure you don't miss it, click below to set a reminder.
I'm really looking forward to this - while I'm not a "video podcaster", I do enjoy live streams and the interaction and fun that comes with them, so I hope to see you there! On a slightly different tangent, I'm super proud to announce my 5 Random Questions podcast has been nominated for "Best Interview Podcast" and "Best Indie Podcast of the Year" in the 2025 Ear Worthy Podcast Awards. As an indie creator who does everything myself, from research to production to promoting and all the other good stuff that makes a podcast, this is lovely recognition from one of the most respected platforms in the industry. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, August 26th. If you haven't checked out 5 Random Questions yet - described as "If Hot Ones and WTF with Marc Maron had a podcast baby, this would be it" - you can do that below.
Have a great weekend, and I hope to see you on the live stream in just over a week! Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Hi Reader, If you spend any time on social media lately, you’ve probably seen the headlines: “AI hosts are replacing humans!” “AI podcasts are flooding Spotify!” “Is this the end for indie creators?” It’s easy to panic. But here’s the thing - AI isn’t replacing podcasters. It’s reshaping how we create. And if you approach it the right way, that can actually work in your favour. The Rise of AI in Podcasting AI-generated shows are popping up faster than ever - news summaries, interview...
Hi Reader, If you’ve been podcasting for a while, you’ve probably seen the advice: “Hack your growth.” “Explode your downloads.” “Go viral.” And, sure, that all sounds great in theory. But for most indie podcasters, the reality looks a little different. Growth is slow.It’s steady.Sometimes, it’s downright invisible. And that’s not a bad thing. Fast Growth Isn’t Always Good Growth When you grow fast, you don’t always grow right. It’s like going viral on social media - you might see a huge...
Hi Reader, When you think of great brands, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s Apple, where the packaging feels as carefully designed as the product.Maybe it’s Spotify, where discovering new music feels natural and frictionless.Or maybe it’s something as simple as your favourite coffee shop, where the barista remembers your order. What all of these have in common is user experience (UX). They’ve thought beyond the product itself, and into how people feel when they interact with it. And podcasting...
