how can I tell the difference?
I don't know about you, Reader, but I can get a liiiiittle obsessive when I’m exploring something new.
Research rabbit holes become my cozy new home. Post-its and highlighters know it's go time. YouTube can't even satisfy my thirst for answers, no matter how many videos the algorithm feeds me that make me think, "Why did this rando think they should make a vlog?...OMG it has 408,000 views???"
Plus, I want all the advice I can get, from as many people as I can get. There are wise ones who have gone before me, and I want to feast on their knowledge! (whenever it works for their schedule, of course.)
There’s a catch, though Reader:
Not all that advice will be GOOD advice. Sometimes learning and growing means UNLEARNING the unhelpful or even harmful guidance you’ve been given. And WOW is there some bad podcasting advice out there.
But how do we know the difference? Instead of telling you why some "advice" is so cringe-worthy, I made a couple of quick videos to show you. Check out my IG Reels "Bad Podcasting Advice" Part 1 and Part 2 on Instagram!
In Part 1 I throw shade at some of the common "shoulds" you might hear about content, and in Part 2 I poke fun at some face-palm-worthy "facts" about production. Watch them now!
Because honestly, sometimes I think I’m gonna get a brain tumor from rolling my eyes at the ridiculous things “experts” try to sell us Podsters.
I'd love to hear what *ahem* questionable Podcasting advice you've heard - hit reply and let me know!
Be sure to check out my quick videos, and have a great day!
Best,
PS. If you've got Panama recommendations to add to my spreadsheet, let me know!!

What's your favorite 80s movie Reader? It’s hard for me to choose. Heathers is one of my desert island movies. The Breakfast Club taught us that if he gets up, we’ll all get up, it’ll be ANARCHY! And I seriously cannot look Connor Roy on Succession and not think, “…Cameron?” If you’re in the mood for some 80s-inspired high school hijinks with a dash of the Halloween spirit, then break out your teen angst and Ouija boards because I’ve got just the thing - the spooky and delightful new fiction...
I just got back from 10 days in Panama, Reader (remember that sweet guidebook?). It was a fantastic trip filled with volcanoes, rainforest, tropical islands and canals. Well, one canal, but it’s kind of a big deal. Can't beat those PTY sunsets. I’ve been studying Spanish for many years and have been to several Spanish-speaking countries, but I made a special commitment to speak the language as much as I could on this trip. I realized I don’t need any more verb conjugation tables to do or...
According to a recent poll I glanced at quickly at a red light, out of 2,000 Americans surveyed, 80% said they abandon their New Year’s goals by February 1 - and 68% said they drop it like it’s hot even earlier! But Reader, I know that's not you. Even if you’re already questioning that new gym membership, or your Dry January has gotten a little damp, I want to help you commit 100% to making a Podcast this year (if you enroll in "Everything You Need to Know to Make a Podcast" by midnight PT)....
