Your podcast is a garden—stop expecting it to bloom overnight

This morning I cracked open the latest Mother Earth News—a little ritual that’s become part of my slower, more intentional Saturdays. This month’s cover story? “Is gardening worth it financially?” And it hit me—this is the exact question so many podcasters ask themselves… just in different words: “Is my podcast really worth it?” “Is it worth the time? The energy? The money?” Let’s be honest—gardening, like podcasting, doesn’t always give you an immediate return. You plant seeds, water them, wait. Some die. Some thrive. But the real value? It’s in the rhythm. The connection. The quiet transformation happening under the surface. That’s what podcasting has been for me since 2014. When I started Podcast Junkies, I didn’t do it for downloads or dollars. I did it to connect. To grow. And yes, eventually… to harvest. But it all started with the seed of curiosity. So today, maybe don’t worry about the “ROI” of your podcast. Ask instead: “Am I planting something meaningful here?” Because when you nurture it with intention, the harvest always comes. —Harry ‘Seeds In The Ground’ Duran |

The unexpected clarity that came from that conversation stuck with me long after we hit “stop.” It changed the way I prep. It changed how I listen. It changed how I show up to the mic. We often think about the value...
It’s 11:10 as I write this email. I just realized that I hadn’t sent my daily email. You know, the one I’ve been sending since January of this year. And for a micro-second I thought, “oh well, I’ll just start again tomorrow.” Oh, hellllzzz no. Which is why I’m pecking this out on my iPhone. Consistency is good. Commitment is better.

Let’s get real for a second. Are you a podcaster… or just a content machine going through the motions? I ask because I’ve seen it—heck, I’ve lived it. You’re publishing every week. You’re consistent. But something feels off. You’re showing up… but not really showing up. That spark you had when you first hit record? Gone. The excitement about your message? Replaced with checklists and burnout. Here’s the hard truth: Consistency without intention is just noise. If you’re not clear on where your...
