Podcasting tasks—the things you and I do to ply our craft—fall into one of two categories:

  • Intrinsic tasks are things that you’ve internalized. They either come with proof or they are a part of Your Way of podcasting. 
  • Instructions-required tasks are everything else. Things you were taught about podcasting but still aren’t quite sure of. Assumptions you've made from watching other podcasters. Checklist or guides you acquired in a class or online course.

Got it? Now, once you’ve identified all or some of the instructions-required tasks you follow, I want you to abandon them.

OK, maybe don’t abandon everything all at once. You still have a podcast episode to produce, after all! But yeah, abandon at least some of the recipes you’re following. Especially the ones you aren’t sure about.

Not every recipe is great. Take a critical look at the podcasting recipes you’re following and choose at least one to abandon. Focus on the outcome that recipe was supposed to achieve. Chances are, you might have a better—or at least more creative—way to get to that goal, creating your own recipe in the process.

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want...

It’s hard for anyone to know everything about podcasting. The most successful podcasters blend what they know with what they’ve learned. Their secret? Abandoning instructions that don’t work for them.
