We talk through the real costs of a bad interview and share when to publish, when to pass and how to protect your feed without burning bridges. From SmartLess canceling a big-name taping to our own not-so-good experiences, we give practical tips for handling awkward recordings.

Special thanks to Kevin of Grit, Grace, and Inspiration for our custom Buzzcast song! (Stay until the end to hear it!)

When you first start a podcast, everything feels exciting! But somewhere around six months in, that feeling can change. Recording starts to feel routine. Metrics feel heavier. Deadlines creep in. And podcasting slowly starts to feel more like work than a creative outlet.
We are talking honestly about what happens when podcasting stops being fun, and how to bring that joy back without quitting your show.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or just tired of hitting publish, there are small, realistic shifts that make podcasting feel lighter, more creative, and more sustainable.
8 Tips to Make Podcasting More Fun
Stop letting metrics decide whether you’re enjoying podcasting. Use stats as feedback, not validation.
Find the right amount of pressure for you. Too much kills creativity; too little leads to boredom.
Lower the bar when you need to. “Good enough” can keep your show alive during busy seasons.
Identify what’s draining you and streamline or cut it. Not every task is essential.
Play with your format instead of trapping yourself in it. You made the rules and you can change them.
Bring your personal interests into the show. Fun increases when the work overlaps with what you love.
Change your environment to change your energy. Small physical shifts can unlock creativity.
Build community so you’re not podcasting alone. Connection makes the work feel worth it.

We’re back from Podfest and this year felt different in some ways. We're recapping our favorite moments from the conference, from reconnecting with Buzzcast listeners and hosting our meetup to surprising industry shifts on the expo floor. We talk about what stood out, what was missing, why the sessions felt more creator-first than salesy, and get into frozen hallways, cold showers, Hall of Fame moments, and one legendary birthday party!

This episode, we start with a quick look at Apple’s new Creator Studio announcement and what it could mean for podcasters (plus some thoughts on GarageBand, Logic Pro, CapCut, and pricing across creator tools).
Then we dig into realistic, healthy podcasting goals. We asked listeners what success would look like for them in 2026, and the answers weren’t about chasing downloads or quitting day jobs. Instead, podcasters talked about consistency, letting go of perfection, building skills, listener engagement, and slowly working toward monetization.
