  • Summer is here—and with it comes both the temptation to slow down and the opportunity to get ahead. If you’re a podcaster staring down your content calendar wondering “Should I take a break?” or “Should I double down?”—you’re not alone.

    In this episode of Clocking In, I asked a few of my amazing clients to share how they’re approaching their podcast this summer. From full-on batching mode to intentional breaks, their strategies are a reminder that there’s no one “right” way to podcast through the season.

    So, whether you're craving rest, chasing growth, or simply trying to maintain momentum, let their plans inspire your next move.

  • If you're serious about taking your podcast to the next level, it's time to talk about paid growth. While organic strategies (like tapping into your current audience or collaborating with others) are powerful foundations, there may come a point when you need an extra boost to reach new listeners faster.


    That's where strategic paid growth comes in — and it’s not just about throwing money at ads and hoping for the best. Done well, paid strategies can supercharge your podcast audience without feeling like you're wasting your budget.
