    What Questions or Thoughts Do You Have on Somber or Controversial Issues in Podcasting?
    Sep 17 2025

    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.

    But with the return, I want to address several somber and even controversial questions you might have related to podcasting.

    For example:

    • How should you prepare your podcast for your own death? • Should you address current issues or tragedies in your podcast? • Should you talk about morality or politics in your podcast?

    Please send me your own additional questions you would like me to address! Send written or voicemail feedback (optionally anonymously) to:

    https://podcastfeedback.com/audacity

    The Audacity to Podcast will return on September 24.

    404. Thoughts from Podcast Movement 2025

    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.

    Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/pm25

  • 401. Should Podcast Episodes Have a Consistent Length?

    401. Should Podcast Episodes Have a Consistent Length?
    Aug 6 2025

    Unlike traditional broadcasting, there are no "show clocks," scheduled ad breaks, or rigid time slots for podcasts. So should you care about publishing episodes of different lengths?

    While I think episodes don't have to be the same length, there are some considerations.

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

    1. What does your audience expect? 2. Don't force a length 3. Should you mention the difference in length? Community Corner

  • 400. What’s a Podcast Anymore?

    400. What’s a Podcast Anymore?
    Jul 30 2025

    This fundamental question that has been challenged and even abused: what is a podcast anymore? There's plenty of misinformation and disinformation out there about what a podcast is. My efforts to help set the definition straight may be fruitless, but there's more to consider here than only the meaning of the word.

    This is my 400th episode of The Audacity to Podcast, to to commemorate this milestone, I want to jump back to this fundamental question because how we answer it will affect the future of our content and even of the whole podcasting industry.

    Other attempted definitions of a "podcast" What's wrong with redefining what a "podcast" is? True podcast distribution and consumption are unique Strict definition versus usage description Is the definition a "gatekeeper"? Should you really call your content a "podcast"?
