Thank You For Joining Me: Inside Indie Podcasting
Thank You for Joining Me is for the newbie and indie podcaster. It's about what happens before (and after) the episode and most importantly, what happens in between. From the excitement of episode one to avoiding the podcrash after episode ten, we'll not only cover the nut-and-bolts of creating your podcast, but also the mindset that will keep you going! Join in for episodes ranging from my personal podcast thoughts to sharing the space with podcast friends who will share their podcasting process, as well as insights of how to balance it outside of real life. We'll also talk about the hurdles of sharing our voice, and how to keep the creative spark going. This is a space where we can talk about what's working - and what's not working - in our podcasty life, share insights, and stay inspired so we can all keep hitting PUBLISH!

If you're in a creative slump lately, you're not alone. I've spent the last seven months* of the year podcasting at the slowest pace ever. After chatting with some podcast friends, I realized they were also experiencing the same thing. There is so much going on around us that it's hard to feel creative and inspired.
Thanks to a handful of batched episodes, the frequency of my podcasts haven't been...
Today's episode* is a casual chat with my dear friend (and fellow podcaster and writer), Julio Olivera (co-host, of The Contrarians podcast).
The Contrarians podcast is a show where Julio and his co-host, Alex Mattis, take on popular opinion, trashing movies everyone loves and praising movies everyone hates, and is currently celebrating it's 10th year! No small feat.
Julio met during our screenwriting d...
Even after five years of podcasting, mistakes happen — like forgetting to select the right mic (noooooo!). In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share an embarrassing tech blunder, what I learned from it, and how I salvaged the audio.
It's a reminder that we’re always learning — whether it’s week two or year two — and that mindset matters behind the mic.

You don't have to show up on social media to have a podcast, but it's a great way to connect with listeners and engage in conversation. It can also be a lot of work. If you're hesitant to show up on social media or don't have the time, this episode is for you.

I recently tried batching episodes for the first time. Overall, it was super helpful. When life got busy, I wasn't scrambling for content...until I was.
In this episode, I share practical tips to keep in mind the next time you batch episodes so that you always have relevant content ready.
If you’re thinking about batching to stay ahead, this chat will help you do it in a way that works for you, your podcast, and your schedule.

Hitting PUBLISH is the hardest part of starting a podcast. In this episode, I share my biggest podcasting mistake and why sharing your voice, flaws and all, is the key to honing your voice, podcast, and creative journey.

It's never too late to start podcasting. Both myself and my guest, Jen Vertanen (Be. Dare. Create.Your Best Damn Lifepodcast), are over 50 and doing the damn thing!
In this episode, Jen talks about why podcasting is a true labor of love. We also dive into the permission she gave herself to stop podcasting when it simply wasn't fun, and the permission she gave herself to come back to it when she was ready.

With some minimal editing you can create a more enjoyable listening experience for the listener.
Granted, there's a learning curve, but small efforts will make a big difference and they're worth learning. Don't let the word "editing" scare you. Basic skills are easy to learn and some software (ex. Descript, Riverside) will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Your podcast does NOT nee...
It's easy to get discouraged while creating your podcast. Sometimes we compare our pace to other folx (hello, social media!), and doubt starts to creep in.
This episode is a reminder not to compare your podcast journey with anyone else's.

This episode is a look back at the microphones I've used in my podcast and my honest review of them.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is to choose the microphone that works best for you, and not to forget that sharing your voice is even more important than the actual mic itself.

Podcasting is straightforward: record - edit - upload. But there are some bumps along the way that no one talks about. Being aware of them (especially at the beginning!) could prevent burnout and podfade. Let's talk about it.

This is a podcast for podcasters about podcasting!
When I first started podcasting, I had questions about things microphones, recording software, and editing. As I got past the basics, I realized that showing up behind the mic was about more than a great microphone.
My mic, podcast host, and editing software made my podcast POSSIBLE, but they aren't the things that keep me going when podcast struggle gets real.
