This week, I caught myself falling into a familiar trap. A client asked for “just one more quick edit.” Another wanted help with strategy outside of scope. And before I knew it, my boundaries were out the window. Sound familiar? It’s a sneaky pattern—especially for podcasters. You start bending to every guest, every audience member, every trend. You over-deliver, over-give, and overthink. And suddenly, your show starts feeling heavy. Unclear. Misaligned. Here’s the truth I’ve learned after running Podcast Junkies and our done-for-you podcast agency FullCast for nearly a decade: Trying to be everything to everyone guarantees you’ll mean nothing to anyone. The more focused your message, the more magnetic your show becomes. So this Sunday, ask yourself: You don’t have to do it all. You just have to do what’s true to you, really well. Let that be your recalibration for the week ahead. —Harry 'Yummy Samples' Duran |

We often think about the value...

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...
