PocketCasts Support Video Now — Should You Care?
My podcast app of choice, Pocket Casts, supports video — and after some Reddit spelunking, it turns out it has for a long time. That sent me back to a question I keep circling: is video actually worth it for your show? I pull up the YouTube analytics for both of my podcasts, explain why a 74% jump in views hasn't moved the metric I actually care about, and lay out the two-question test I use to decide whether video earns its place in your process.

My AI Publishing Automation
The real payoff for having an SOP is that you can start handing pieces of it off. I built a scheduled Claude skill that checks my Notion podcast planner for episodes marked ready to publish, pulls the video and the MacWhisper transcript out of Google Drive, writes the description and show notes, and uploads everything to RSS.com scheduled for the date I picked. It runs Wednesday overnight so I can review the episodes Thursday morning before they drop. Three things make it reliable: knowing my own process cold, giving it strict instructions for writing and link gathering, and an API that actually works.

How to Make Your Production Process Shorter (Without Hiring)
A written SOP is the fastest way to cut down your production time without hiring anyone. I walk through how I build mine: record yourself narrating the entire process, then hand the transcript to a large language model and have it write out the steps one by one. Talking through each step also forces you to justify it, which is how I've caught steps I didn't need anymore and cut them. Once the steps exist on paper, delegating or automating them gets a lot easier.

My Exact Podcast Production Process: From Idea to Published in One Day
Video is becoming a bigger deal in podcasting, and RSS.com just added its first video plan — but adding video doesn't have to wreck your workflow. I break down the exact process I use to produce my weekly Friday Wrap-Up in an hour or less: capturing ideas into a segmented format, writing the newsletter, recording in Ecamm, and editing in Gling. From there a Claude skill generates the episode assets and publishes straight to RSS.com through its API, so I barely touch the publishing step. Resources & Links Ecamm — recording, with dual horizontal + vertical capture and scene overlays Gling — transcript-based editor for cleanup, audio enhancement, chapters, and transcript Canva — auto-generated custom episode artwork Kit — newsletter provider Claude — generates the episode assets and handles publishing Capture — read-later app for idea capture Logic Pro — audio editing (now replaced by Gling in my workflow) RSS.com — podcast host with a video plan and public API Solopreneur Systems Starter Kit — streamlined.fm/kit Some links above are affiliate links.

10 Questions Every Solo Podcaster Needs to Ask Themselves Before Episode 10

That's why solo podcasters need a good system that works for you So instead of just handing you a system that. you may or may not use, in this episode I walk through the ten questions you need to answer before episode ten — how you capture ideas, outline, record, store files, edit, track status, upload, write copy, stay ahead of the calendar, and promote — and share what I do on each one so you can borrow what fits.

3 Reasons Your Podcast Planner Is Your Most Important Podcast System
My accountant once turned pale white when I told him I was keeping my business records in a shoebox. Lucky for him, I was just joking. A shoebox isn't a system. I see the same thing happen with podcasters all the time. When I ask how they're keeping track of their episodes, the most common answers are "I don't" or "I use a notebook." And just like that shoebox, it works — until it really, really doesn't. If you've ever sat down on a Sunday night, realized you publish Monday morning, and had absolutely no idea what you were going to talk about, this one's for you. I'm breaking down the three reasons why a podcast planner is the most important system a solopreneur podcaster can have.

Podcast vs YouTube: The Key Difference Every Solo Podcaster Should Know
What makes a podcast truly different from a YouTube video? 🎧 In this 15-minute deep dive, we explore the blurring lines between podcasting and video content, sparked by Pete Davidson's new Netflix show that's being called a 'podcast' despite having no audio version. Using a fascinating analogy about watching soccer matches across Italy versus attending a live stadium event, this episode reveals that the core difference isn't about length, video capabilities, or even RSS feeds. It's about community engagement and how audiences interact with your content. We'll examine why podcasts excel at building deep one-to-many relationships while YouTube creates real-time communal experiences. Discover a strategic approach to treating your podcast and YouTube content differently – like wearing the right equipment for different sports. Plus, get insights into upcoming changes for content strategy that could transform how you think about multi-platform distribution. Ready to optimize your content strategy across platforms?
