Episode 645 - The Daily Things That You Can Do To Be A Better Podcaster In Addition to Podcasting


In this episode of the How to Podcast Series, host Dave shares his passion for discovering new podcasts, binge-listening from episode one, and connecting with fellow creators. He credits night-shift listening for fueling his growth and invites listeners to share their shows for feedback.

Dave draws inspiration from Austin Kleon's book Show Your Work!, particularly chapter three: "Share something small every day." This sparked his commitment to daily content in 2026, like short social posts or episodes, to build skills, experience steady growth, and attract connections. He adapts Kleon's advice for podcasters, urging daily "dispatches" documenting the process—early ideas, work-in-progress, lessons learned, or audience interactions—instead of revealing finished products. Build in public so listeners join the journey, cheer you on, and see how your podcast evolves, debunking the myth of overnight success.

Choose platforms that suit your audience and yield results: YouTube Shorts thrive for How to Podcast, while Instagram works for Living the Next Chapter. Abandon what doesn't, like Facebook or underperforming channels, and post natively—stay engaged to interact in real-time. Turn daily "flow" (ephemeral shares) into enduring "stock" (blogs, newsletters, or books) via your owned website, your "digital turf" that outlasts fleeting social trends. Secure a simple domain cheaply, centralize links there, and direct guests or fans to it for easy discovery.

Key Takeaway: Commit to one daily action this month— a short post, DM outreach, or newsletter—to show up consistently, grow your podcast, and foster connections. Identify your cheerleader, thank them today, and watch your presence expand.
