  • 409. Should You Share Your Faith, Politics, or Morals in Your Podcast?

    409. Should You Share Your Faith, Politics, or Morals in Your Podcast?
    Oct 8 2025

    You may have heard that certain topics are "taboo" to share in your podcast, but are they really? Or is it okay to share your "controversial" perspectives?

    I'm not going to tell you what you "should" do on this issue. Instead, I'll give you several things to consider so that you can make the decision you believe is right for your podcast.

    Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/worldview

    1. Faith, politics, and morals are parts of your worldview [00:51]

    2. Everyone "leaks" their worldview [01:25]

    3. Is it relevant to your podcast? [02:25]

    4. You will likely alienate some of your audience [07:13]

    5. You might be the voice your audience needs [09:48]

    6. Standing for what's right will have a cost [11:25]

    7. Don't let labels control you [13:11]

    8. Remember kindness [15:02]

    Special thanks [17:28]
