Sundays can make you a better podcaster


What's the weekend mean for you Reader?

Personally, Sundays are my reset button.

It’s the day I step back, reflect, and set my intentions for the week ahead.

I think about what went well, what needs tweaking, and how I can show up better—not just in my personal life, but in my work, my relationships, and everything I create.

Because when you pause and plan with intention, you stop drifting through the week.

And this applies to podcasting too.

The best hosts don’t just hit record and hope for the best.

They take the time to:

  • Reflect on past interviews—What worked? What could have been better?
  • Prepare for upcoming guests—What research needs to be done? What will make this episode stand out?
  • Refine their process—Are my guest booking and follow-ups actually creating long-term relationships?

Podcasting isn’t just about creating content. It’s about crafting an experience—for your guests, for your listeners, and for yourself.

Take today to reflect. Are you treating your podcast with the same level of intention as the rest of your week?

Think you ‘don’t have time’ to podcast? The problem isn’t time—it’s the system. A well-structured workflow means recording one day per month can keep your show consistent. AI tools, batching episodes, and outsourcing editing can free up hours. The key isn’t working harder—it’s working smarter. Most podcasters struggle with inconsistent publishing not because they lack time, but because they’re stuck in inefficiency. They: [X] Record one episode at a time instead of batching.

Gotta love Mondays Reader! A clean slate. A fresh start. There's nothing better than starting the week off on the right foot. You've got your week planned out, your calendar's looking great and you're motivated to get stuff done! It's when you don't have a plan that things start to feel overwhelming. Not necessarily because of the tasks, but due to fear of the unknown. Starting a podcast can be similar—not because of the tech, but because of the fear. Fear of not sounding ‘good enough.’Fear...
