We're talking about the signs you might be ready to start another podcast, whether that means launching a second show, creating a limited series, or letting your current podcast evolve into something new.
Check out examples like Potterless, The History of Rome, StartUp, and Presidential to see why some shows naturally reach a finish line while others become the starting point for the next big idea. 
So if you feel burned out: are you tired, trapped, or finished?
If you’re tired, your show may still be worth continuing, but at a slower pace or after a real break. 
If you’re trapped, the topic, name, or format may be too limiting, and a few small experiments could help you find the spark again. 
And if you’re finished, it might be time to let the show stand as a completed body of work and put your energy into what comes next!
We also talk about how the skills you build as a podcaster carry over into every future project, even if your next podcast serves a completely different audience.
Plus, Jordan shares a tiny QR code podcast promotion idea involving Sasquatch, mini resin figures, and a very unexpected dentist’s office ad.

In this quickcast, we’re talking about the rise of AI-generated “podcasts” from companies like Amazon and Spotify, and why the word is getting stretched pretty thin.
Amazon is turning product reviews into conversational audio. Spotify is experimenting with personalized AI audio experiences. And suddenly, a lot of things that feel more like chatbots, summaries, or audio briefings are being labeled as podcasts.
So should podcasters be worried? We don't think so.

We’re joined again by Alex Sanfilippo from PodMatch to talk about one of our favorite podcast growth strategies: getting booked as a guest on other podcasts!
We talk about why podcast guesting is valuable beyond promotion, including how it helps you sharpen your message, become a better communicator, and build real relationships with other podcasters. 
We'll also give tips on how to build a podcast guest profile that actually helps hosts say yes. We talk about why your guest profile should not read like a résumé, what hosts are really looking for, how to suggest episode ideas, what links and assets to include, and how to make your pitch feel authentic.
We also answer listener questions about shared episodes across multiple feeds, and whether Apple Podcasts Video is worth trying if you are already making video for YouTube.

Small podcasts are often treated like smaller versions of big podcasts, but a niche audience is not just a tiny audience. It can be a more focused, more trusting, and more valuable audience.
Inspired by an article in Podnews, we talk about why download numbers do not tell the full story of a podcast’s value.

Most podcast repurposing advice sounds the same: turn your episode into clips, blog posts, newsletters, and social captions.
That can be useful, but it is not the only way to get more value from your podcast.
In this episode, we look at creative ways podcasters are turning their existing content into something new: conversation cards, games, kid-friendly feeds, real-world meetups, field guides, downloadable resources, and more!
We also talk about how to use AI to find themes hiding in your archive, why great repurposing starts with what your audience already loves doing, and how to create something additive instead of just changing the format.
Plus, we share early stats from the Buzzsprout video launch!
