2025 August Update
I’m here to give you the lowdown on what’s happening with the podcast. Right now, I’m a bit behind on the newest episode thanks to working a ton of overtime and some tech issues with my old hosting platform. I’ve made the switch to Captivate, which is way better for indie podcasters like me, even if it doesn’t have its own listening platform like Podbean. I'm working on finishing up the current episode and planning to wrap up season one soon so I can dive into season two with a solid backlog. This way, I can drop more episodes each month and bring you even more stories, plus I’m looking to do interviews and hit the road to gather some cool insights for future episodes.
An update on the podcast is long overdue, and I'm ready to spill the tea on what’s been happening. Lately, I've been juggling a ton of work, which has made it tricky to keep up with the latest episode. Overtime is no joke, and it’s taken a toll on my podcasting schedule. Plus, I hit a few snags with my old hosting platform, which was frustrating. Logging in felt like trying to crack a safe, and that just added to the delay. So, I decided it was time for a change and switched from Podbean to Captivate. The switch was kinda bittersweet. Captivate doesn’t have its own listening platform like Podbean, which is a bummer, but it offers a treasure trove of features designed for indie podcasters like yours truly. Whether it’s booking guests or doing some episode planning, Captivate has got my back. I’m excited about the promo and marketing tools, too, because I really want to grow this podcast and reach more folks.
Looking ahead, I’m wrapping up the current episode and gearing up to crank out a few more. The goal is to finish up Season One strong and then dive headfirst into Season Two. I’m all about creating a backlog of episodes so I can stay ahead of the game and avoid the stress of falling behind. With this approach, I can focus on crafting better quality episodes, dive deep into the stories I want to tell, and if I play my cards right, I might even be able to drop multiple episodes each month. That would mean way more content for you, and I’m all about giving my listeners more stories to enjoy.
Plus, I’m planning to spice things up with interviews and guest appearances. I want to get out there, visit some of the locations I’ll be discussing, and gather firsthand insights. It’s all about enriching the content and providing you with the best experience possible. If you’re vibing with the podcast, be sure to follow me on social media. You can catch me on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for all the latest updates and behind-the-scenes peeks. Oh, and don’t forget to hit that follow button on your listening platform, so you’re in the loop when new episodes drop.
