In this week’s news and commentary episode, we dig into one of the biggest stories in podcasting right now: PodPage’s Bold Acquisition—PodPage acquiring the School of Podcasting, and what that really means for you as a creator.

475. Is Your Podcast Too Conversational?

Podcasting Morning Chat ·

2026/03/17

In this week’s mailbag episode, we get into a question a lot of podcasters wrestle with: can a podcast actually be too conversational? We unpack what people really mean when they say they want their show to feel natural and why the best conversations still need a bit of direction to keep listeners hooked. As we go, we also take on another common concern: whether you can grow a podcast from scratch, and talk honestly about what that journey looks like, why your “why” matters more than numbers early

In this week’s Obsession Worthy Podcasts series returns and we break down an episode of Search Engine to explore what makes the show so compelling, and what the rest of us can learn from it as podcasters. Using their episode about Anthropic’s Claude AI as our example, we look at how Search Engine pulls listeners in with emotion, builds curiosity by expanding the questions at just the right moments, and uses layered storytelling to keep people engaged from start to finish. Along the way, we unpack

2026/03/13

What’s the best part of podcasting… and what’s the part nobody warns you about? Today, we explore the highs and lows that come with running a podcast. This ranges from hosting meaningful conversations to frustrations that show up behind the scenes. You’ll hear stories about common mistakes, the pressure around monetization, the grind of promotion, and the many moving parts that go into producing a show.

2026/03/12

So you’ve landed your first sponsor. Now you start thinking… What do they actually want to see from you? Downloads? Listener behavior? Something else entirely? Today, we’re opening the mailbag to tackle a question from one of our very own cohosts, Sid, who wondered what kind of analytics sponsors really care about and how podcasters should present that information to keep the relationship strong. Do downloads matter as much as we think they do? What metrics actually tell the story of your

2026/03/11

Why would Amazon shut down the standalone Wondery app after investing so heavily in podcasting? Today, we look at that headline and what it might signal about how major platforms are rethinking their podcast strategy. If a company like Amazon is shifting direction, it raises important questions about where podcast distribution and monetization may be headed next. Today is news day, and we also discuss growing concerns around Libsyn after reports of technical issues and a declining share of new

2026/03/10

You finally book a guest you’re excited about. You press the record button, you’re off… and suddenly the answers drift into promotion, your guest goes on irrelevant tangents, and the episode never seems to find its legs. Many podcasters learn this lesson the hard way. Today, we talk about one of the simplest ways to protect the listener experience before the recording ever starts. Today, our conversation is about the role of the pre-interview and why it can make the difference between a scattered

468. The Most Underrated Skill Every Podcaster Needs

Podcasting Morning Chat ·

2026/03/06

What really makes a great podcaster stand out? It is not always the flashy stuff like gear, editing tricks, or knowing every tool. Today, we ask a bigger question: what is the most underrated skill a podcaster can have? The answers go deeper than the usual advice as we talk about vocal technique, active listening, and the kinds of skills that help you keep a conversation alive. Then the discussion shifts into another big question: which matters more, technical or creative editing skills? That opens

Have you ever been in the host seat, excited to interview your guest, but internally you cringe because nearly all their replies drift too heavily into promotion? Today’s listener question goes right at that awkward moment, and we share our own experiences with guests who can’t help but slide back into pitch mode. Toward the end of the show, we hit podcast news and talk about a big AI caution flag: we know that some AI tools out there can turn source material into a “podcast-style” show, but tests

What did survive was the opening few minutes, and that’s what you’re getting here!I kicked things off with a question that sounds incredibly creepy at 7am. I promise there was a reason for it!

Content editing is the skill we don’t see … but we’ve all felt. If you’ve ever finished an episode and thought, “It’s fine… but it’s not hitting,” this conversation is for you. Last week, we briefly touched on the practice of content editing, and Vicky wrote in with a question that opened a much bigger door: What’s the difference between production editing and content editing? We talk through our interpretations of content editing and why it goes way beyond removing “ums” and tightening pauses. We

We also talk about when a rewatch format works and how to borrow the idea for your own podcast. Then I share the exact AI prompt I used to pull a tight highlight from a clip we played from that Scrubs companion show, trimming it down into something

Ever get something “free” for your podcast or creator work and think, awesome, no cost, no problem, then find out later why the IRS sent you a bill? Maybe it’s a “gifted” product, a free month of a tool, a comped hotel for an event, or a brand sending you gear in exchange for a mention. Today, we dig deeper into one of yesterday’s questions, inspired by a news story shared by our co-host Ralph Estep Jr., and we get real about what counts as income for creators, even when no cash hits your bank

Apple’s video announcement is stirring the pot again, and it’s funny because the gurus will remind you Apple always had video; that is true, but it just wasn’t widely used, or easy to roll out at scale. What’s changed now is the path feels more built out for creators, and the playback experience is more familiar for listeners. We’ve got some spicy hot takes about what Apple gets right, and why the hype can be louder than the reality. We also share a smart money reminder for creators: freebies,

Co-host BC Babbles has been on Substack for a while and even hosts one of his podcasts there, so we ask what’s working, what he’s learned, and what best practices matter most. We also dig into how Substack helps you connect with listeners in a more personal way than traditional social media. Then we talk monetization, what people actually pay for, and how to

If someone handed you $5,000 to invest in your podcast tomorrow, where would it go? Better gear, paid ads, media training, or maybe something else entirely? While Marc is out, Ralph Estep Jr. takes the lead and guides this week’s listener mailbag as we wrestle with that exact question. We explore how to think about investing wisely, not just spending fast.
