2026/01/06

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! While reviewing applications for our Start Podcasting cohort, I noticed a pattern: a lot of people have great podcast ideas!

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! The holiday season is officially here, which usually means two things: more joy and way less time to podcast. Between travel plans, family gatherings, school breaks, and end-of-year deadlines, this is one of the hardest seasons to stay consistent. Nearly every podcaster I know hits a point where they think, “Should I just skip a few weeks?” If that's you, keep reading! This week, we’re talking about how to handle your podcast during the b...

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! I talk to a lot of people who want to start a podcast. Whether it's friends, creators, or podcasters-to-be, I hear the same thing all the time: “I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast… but I don’t know if now is the right time!” And every time, I give the same answer: “If you’re thinking about it, now is exactly the right time.” So if you find yourself asking, "Why should I start, and how do I launch without overcomplicating it?"

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! For years, adding chapters to podcast episodes felt like extra credit. It was great if you had the time, but most of us didn’t. Now, with iOS 26.2, Apple Podcasts is taking care of it for you! The next update will automatically generate chapters for every episode, even if you don’t create them yourself. That means listeners can skip to key moments of your episode and engage with your content more easily than ever before. Here’s what’s new...

2025/10/28

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey Podcasters! When Buzzsprout's podcast producer, Jordan Blair, started Dreamful Bedtime Stories, it was just a creative way to help her kids fall asleep. She never expected it to become a podcast with more than 13 million downloads, or that she’d test nearly every monetization strategy along the way. After six years of experimenting with sponsorships, affiliates, subscriptions, and listener support, she’s learned what actually works (and what doesn’t) ...

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Let’s be honest: everyone wants to know the secret to ranking higher in Apple Podcasts, but for years, no one really knew how it worked.

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey Podcasters! Have you ever had an amazing idea for a show… only to get completely stuck on the name? You brainstorm a dozen options, check Apple Podcasts, and they’re all taken. Or worse, you find one you like, but it doesn’t really capture what your podcast is about. Naming is one of the biggest roadblocks for new podcasters. Too clever, and no one can find it. Too generic, and it blends in. No wonder so many shows stall before they ever launch. That’...

Monetization in the Streaming Era

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2025/09/23

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! When I launched my first podcast, I thought 1,000 downloads would unlock everything. I assumed advertisers would show up and the show would start paying for itself. Instead, I found myself in the same spot as so many podcasters in the Buzzsprout Community: excited about growth, but unsure how to turn that momentum into real support. The Ad Model Problem Most of us start out thinking ad revenue is the finish line. The reality is that adv...

Is it Time to Rebrand Your Podcast?

Buzzsprout Weekly ·

2025/09/02

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Every podcast is a brand, whether you planned it that way or not. Your name, artwork, and content should all work together to show listeners exactly what your show is about. But what happens when they don’t? Maybe your name locks you into one topic. Maybe it no longer fits your podcast. Or maybe… you just don’t like it anymore. Good news, your podcast is allowed to evolve! That’s where rebranding, or sometimes just relaunching, comes in. ...
