With the death of Todd Cochrane, his funeral, and the assassination and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, I’m taking a week off of The Audacity to Podcast.
Todd Cochrane, a great podcasting pioneer, an advocate for independent podcasters, and one of my good friends died Monday morning, September 8, 2025.
Here’s how I knew Todd.
Want a bigger audience? Want to make money with your podcast? Want to become a better podcaster? Want to grow your authority and popularity?
I believe that whatever it is that you want from your podcast can probably be achieved with two things. But I’ll warn you! These two things are not easy.
I’m back from Podcast Movement 2025 in Dallas and I have thoughts, especially after my previous episode about why you should attend live events for your podcast.
Live events can provide great opportunities to grow your knowledge, create content, expand your network, and grow your podcast audience.
It takes more than high quality content to make a full-time income from your podcast!
There are no “show clocks,” scheduled ad breaks, or rigid time slots for podcasts. So should you care about publishing episodes of different lengths?
This fundamental question that has been challenged and abused: what is a podcast? There’s more to consider here than only the meaning of the word.
Podcasting guesting is consistently the #1 way to grow your own podcast. This works because it gives you the opportunity to get in front of more ideal listeners, provide value and demonstrate your knowledge, and it’s easy for them to follow you over to your podcast.
But how do you find the first shows you should try getting on?
I see podcasters often think their podcast might grow faster if they switch podcast-hosting providers. But is this true?
