What if non-stop publishing is quietly killing your creativity, or is keeping a steady stream of episodes the only thing keeping you afloat? Today, we tackle one of podcasting's most debatable questions: Should you produce in seasons or keep going all year? Jason from Bombtrack Media and Julia from The Podcast Teacher join us to share their sharp, experience-based views. Jason views seasons as an opportunity to recharge and refine, while Julia believes that steady output fosters trust and loyal listeners. Together, we make the case for both sides as we dig into burnout, batching, and how pausing or pushing through shapes growth, engagement, and creativity. This conversation offers a thoughtful examination of maintaining your podcast's strength without losing its spark.Episode Highlights: [02:27] Welcoming Jason Cercone and Julia Levine [05:58] Discussion on Podcasting Formats [08:30] Icebreaker Question: What's one thing that helps you stay consistent or inspired to keep showing up?[16:18] Debate: Seasons vs. Ongoing Podcasts [29:14] Building Consistency in Your Show [32:12] Marketing and Promotion [36:47] Challenges with Podcast Seasons [42:14] Advantages of Ongoing Shows [48:57] Balancing Breaks and Content Creation [55:43] TV Show Comparisons Links & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingJulia Levine: The Podcast Teacher: https://thepodcastteacher.comJason Cercone Bombtrack Media: https://www.bombtrackmedia.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

POP GOES PRINT—“Today, creativity feels like it's being squeezed into smaller and smaller boxes. Content is designed to chase likes, rack up views, serve a clear function—a purpose….we're here—to celebrate creativity for creativity's sake, no strings attached. Analog isn't dead; it's the new rebellion.”This manifesto is a part of a striking editorial in the first issue of Playground, a new magazine created out of Singapore by Pop Mart, the maker of the Labubu. I honestly never thought I would a) write that kind of sentence in my life, and b) understand it, but here we are. It's 2025! If you're unfamiliar with PopMart you are unfamiliar with one of the largest creative companies in the world, one valued almost as much as Disney or Nintendo. Playground is an extraordinary editorial project, championed by creatives and executives in a company that claims its mission is to “light up passion” so that its brand can promote a “galaxy of creative possibilities.” Got all that? So by now you might be asking yourself a fundamental question: Why? Why this thing? And why print? Well, that same editorial anticipates this exact question:“So, why print? Because print makes you pause. You can't swipe past a paragraph in a magazine. You can't multitask while turning a page. Print demands your attention and invites you to linger, to savor, to think…So here it is: our first issue. Take your time with it. Flip through the pages, spill some coffee on it if you must. Just don't try to scroll.” Amen—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Trey Griffin from Raptive. Maximize Efficiency with AI (Without Losing Your Voice) with Trey Griffin from Raptive In this episode, Bjork and Trey Griffin get real about AI, which is here to be your new workhorse, not your competition. They dive into how tools like Custom GPTs can give you a massive efficiency boost, helping you move past the grunt work of brainstorming and drafting so you can focus on creative risks and developing better ideas. By letting AI handle the routine tasks, you're freeing up your most valuable resource (your time!!!) to strategize and stay ahead of a rapidly changing content landscape. The biggest factor that will keep you relevant? Your human touch. Since AI can create a mountain of content, your unique personal branding and authentic storytelling is now more crucial than ever. They'll talk about why the creators who build genuine connections and layer their own personality into their work are the ones who will stand out in a saturated market. This episode provides the blueprint for leveraging AI for speed while ensuring your core content remains something only you can create. Three episode takeaways: Think of AI as an assistant rather than a replacement: Think of tools like Custom GPTs as a way to ditch the grunt work, like brainstorming or first drafts. That way, you can spend more time on the things that truly matter. The efficiency boost is real, letting you take more creative risks and move faster. Your “human touch” is the secret sauce: With AI making it easier for everyone to create something, your personal branding and unique storytelling is what will make you stand out. The human element — your voice, your perspective, your emotion — is what people connect with and what AI simply can't replicate. Don't overlook it! Staying nimble in a changing landscape: There's no denying that the content game is being reshaped by AI, which brings both opportunities and threats to creators. This technology is only going to get better, so keep experimenting with new tools and be ready to adapt how you create and how people consume content.

Neustart als Strategie: Wie sich MGNFY das Musikbusiness neu baut. Als Marco Völkel und Martin Königsmann 2023 das erste Mal im Redfield Podcast zu Gast waren, lag gerade ein radikaler Umbruch hinter ihnen. Aus ihrer früheren Agentur Swinque war MGNFY geworden – ein modernes, wachsendes Unternehmen mit dem Fokus auf Ticket-Marketing, Live und Business. Damals arbeiteten sie in Recklinghausen zu dritt. Heute sind es fast zwei Dutzend Leute, das Büro in Berlin ist eröffnet und ihre Themen haben sich deutlich verschoben – von der reinen Betreuung von DJs und Artists hin zu datengetriebenem Ticketmarketing, digitaler Strategie und systemischer Strukturarbeit. Im Update-Gespräch erzählen die beiden, wie sie das Wachstum personell und organisatorisch gemeistert haben, welche Tools und Denkweisen ihnen dabei geholfen haben – und wann der Moment kam, an dem sie lernen mussten loszulassen. Es geht um Haltung statt Hype, um Automatisierung, Funnel-Denken, Content Creation und den Aufbau ihrer eigenen Plattform HowToSellTicketsOnlineFast.de inklusive Cases und Wissensvermittlung. Mit Artists wie Marten Hørger, Virtual Riot oder Eskei83 und Kund*innen aus dem Veranstalterumfeld arbeitet MGNFY an der Schnittstelle von Musik, Marketing und Technologie. Völkel und Königsmann erklären, warum WhatsApp und E-Mail relevanter sind als viele denken, wie sich Management 2025 anfühlen muss und welche Fehler Veranstaltende im Ticketverkauf immer wieder machen. Ein Gespräch über den Mut, alles neu zu denken, über unternehmerisches Wachstum im Musikbusiness, Prozesse statt Bauchgefühl – und die Frage, wie man sich als Agentur oder Artist zukunftsfest aufstellt. www.mgnfy.com www.howtosellticketsonlinefast.de www.redfield-podcast.de

SHE LOVES HER WORK—The word ‘unicorn' gets thrown around a lot these days. But in our book, Sarah Ball is the Real Deal. The editor of WSJ. Magazine is a student of old-guard, in-the-trenches, work-on-a-story-for-years magazine making, which has earned her cred among the Jim Nelsons and David Grangers of the biz.She's also a digital native with a flare for experimentation and a new media scrappiness. Sarah spent her career bridging those divides predominantly at Vanity Fair and GQ where she helped those titles join the digital revolution—much more stylishly and convincingly than many of her competitors.Arguably more than any other editor of her generation, she brings print-era rigor, and also the romance of the whole magazine-making endeavor to digital-era reality. That's why when the Vanity Fair editor-in-chief job came open last spring, Sarah was right at the top of The Spread's list for who should get the gig.The wind blew a different way, as we all know by now, and she's happy at WSJ. But when you listen to our chat, we think you'll get why our money is on her.There's a lot of pessimism in journalism these days for good reason, but we challenge you to listen to this conversation without getting just as swept up as we did in Sarah's passion for magazines. It's almost enough to make us believe that print is not in fact dead. Not yet, at least..—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Bespoken Spirits isn't your typical whiskey distillery. Yes, they're based in the American bourbon heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, and yes, they often make private label whiskeys for clients. But everything from how Bespoken Spirits distills their whiskey to how they market it is done with the help of AI. Jordan Spitzer, their head of flavor, can finish a whiskey in days instead of years—while precisely crafting its taste—using their machine-learning backed approach. And Wane Lindsey, their director of marketing, credits AI tools with helping his tiny team punch way above their weight.The result is a whiskey that may not be traditional, but still tastes great—and in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. That's time they can spend on the creative side of their craft and the work that has the most meaning: building brands and bespoke spirits that people will want to drink.On this episode, Jordan and Wane share how AI has helped them explore creative new ways to make and market whiskey—and why, no matter how smart our tools get, there's still no substitute for human taste.You can learn more about Bespoken Spirits at bespokenspirits.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.
