205. Podcasting in 2025: What’s Working, What’s Changing, and What I’m Testing (Apr 2025)

Have you ever listened to a podcast and thought, “That was good… but I don’t really feel anything new?”

This is something I was wondering about in my own podcast. Yes, the conversations were insightful, but they weren’t always sparking that “Ohhh… WOW” moment that sticks with you long after the episode ends.

So on today’s solo episode, I’ll be sharing one thing that’s working, one thing that I’d do differently moving forward, and one thing that I’m experimenting with right now. I also answer a few questions from listeners.

In this episode, we cover:

(00:00) Introduction

(01:47) What’s working

(05:25) What’s not working

(11:41) What I’m experimenting with
