  • #053: Should Your Podcast Have Video?
    Mar 3 2025

    One of the most asked questions I get as a podcast producer and podcaster is should all podcasts have an audio and video component?

    I wish there was an easy answer to this question, because even I grapple with the pros and cons of whether my podcasts should have video.

    In this episode we’re going to talk about the advantages, disadvantages, investment, and payoff of having a video component to your podcast. There isn’t a blanket answer for every podcaster, but after this episode you’ll have the tools and perspective to be able to decide for yourself: should your podcast have video?

    Feb 24 2025

    Everyday we become more and more aware of the power of the ✨brand✨.


    But what does that even mean? Why should we care? Most of us probably wouldn’t consider our podcast to be a brand, but in 2025, that’s a huge mistake.

    In this episode we’ll talk about the importance of recognizing and nurturing the brand of your podcast, why branding matters and how to leverage your podcast branding in a way that grows your audience and helps your podcast make money.

  • #051: PodSchool: Pinterest for Podcasters
    Feb 17 2025

    Last year I had over 500,000 viewers without a dollar in paid promotion from one social media - Pinterest. After Google, Pinterest brings the most traffic to my website and podcast episodes, with the average visitor spending about 23 minutes looking at past episodes.

    In this episode we’ll talk about why Pinterest is the best place to grow your podcast audience, how to properly market your podcast on Pinterest, and what you can do to incorporate Pinterest into your podcast workflow without feeling overwhelmed.

    Why does Pinterest work? I think a lot of people think about Pinterest as the place where you plan a wedding, or save ideas for remodeling your kitchen, but the reality is pinterest has 553 million monthly active users and reaches 40% of US households with an annual income over $150K. I don’t know about you, but as a business owner, who uses their podcast to grow their business, those are the kind of stats I want to hear.

  • #049: The 2 Podcast Types That Make The Most Money
    Feb 3 2025

    Only 35% of podcasts make money. If I'm being honest, I thought it would be less. 😬

    Most podcasts will never get out of the red - and it's not their fault! Podcasting is expensive, time consuming and everyone thinks they're going to make money from it. In this episode we’ll talk about the two kinds of podcasts that actually make money. How to better align your podcast with one of these two strategies and why so many podcasters are never able to monetize their podcast.

  • #048: Why Your Podcast Marketing Isn't Working
    Jan 27 2025

    I’m going to say something and you might not agree with me, but in my experience this is the truth: marketing a podcast is harder than having a podcast.

    Finding the right people that should be listening to your podcast and reminding them every week to listen to your podcast is actually harder than making the podcast itself and that’s not easy.

    In this episode we’re going to talk about why your podcast marketing isn’t working, what you can do to improve and how we can make small changes to start rebuilding our listener base and engaging with our existing audience.
