Why Good Banter Can Make (or Break) Your Podcast

Streamlined Podcaster: Tips to Help Solopreneurs... ·

2025/09/09

I'm starting to wonder if a host/co-host format is actually the best format for a podcast. I’ve been listening to a lot of different podcasts lately—rewatch shows, comedy shows, tech shows—and one thing keeps standing out: good banter makes a podcast worth coming back to. But here’s the catch…banter only works when it supports the mission of the show. Get it right, and you create a bond with your audience. Get it wrong, and your listeners tune out.

How to Make Money with Your Podcast

Streamlined Podcaster: Tips to Help Solopreneurs... ·

2025/07/31

Monetization is a super common problem for many podcasters. Most think they'll start a podcast, get a bunch of downloads, and sponsors will come looking for them. That is almost never the case — nor is it the case that sponsorship is the only option. And what I LOVE sponsorship. After all, I'm a sponsorship coach for my friend Justin, and RSS.com, for whom I'm the evangelist, just launched our PAID feature to make ads easier than ever.

Why I REFUSE to Record Podcasts Without Headphones...

Hot take: If you're not wearing headphones while podcasting in 2025, you're doing it wrong. I don't care how good Riverside's echo cancellation is or what magic AI audio cleanup you're using - I will literally refuse to record with guests who won't wear headphones.In this episode, I explain why "fixing it in post" with apps like Descript and Adobe Podcast AI is actually making your audio WORSE, not better.

My "Brown M&Ms Test" for Filtering Bad Podcast Pitches

Streamlined Podcaster: Tips to Help Solopreneurs... ·

2025/07/24

Remember Van Halen's famous "no brown M&Ms" rider clause? It wasn't because they were divas - it was a genius test to make sure venues actually read their contract. I've borrowed this concept to create my own screening system for podcast guest pitches.With 4-8 pitches hitting my inbox daily (and most being AI-generated garbage), I needed a better way to separate serious guests from spray-and-pray agencies.

Remember the alien in Men in Black asking for "sugar in water"? That's exactly what AI-generated podcast pitches sound like - almost human, but missing something fundamentally authentic.As someone who receives dozens of guest pitches, I'm seeing a disturbing trend: more people are using ChatGPT to write their outreach, and it's backfiring spectacularly. From generic "hope this email finds you well" openings to completely irrelevant topic suggestions, AI pitches are easier to spot (and delete) than
