How is this still happening?You ever have one of those moments where you see something so ridiculous you can't help but roll your eyes? That's basically the theme of this episode. I'm talking about the world of podcasting and, honestly, it's kind of wild. It's 2026, and people are still posting “New episode out! (and that's it)” on social media like that's some kind of marketing strategy. Seriously?Yes, It's Better Than Nothing...In this episode, I talk about why podcasters need to stop doing the bare minimum when promoting their shows. If you're going to post on social media, at least make it interesting. Lead with a question. Share a bold statement. Give people a reason to stop scrolling and pay attention. Don't just announce your existence, do something to spark curiosity.Use a HookI also dig into the importance of using hooks when sharing episodes. In today's world of endless content, you need something that grabs attention immediately. Whether it's a thought-provoking question, a surprising opinion, or a compelling claim, the goal is to invite people into a conversation, not just tell them your episode exists.There is No Excuse for "New Episode Out"And honestly, with all the AI tools available now, there's really no excuse for lazy promotional posts anymore. AI can help you come up with stronger captions, better hooks, and more engaging content in seconds. If your entire strategy is still “new episode out,” it might be time to rethink things.Throughout the episode, I share practical tips on how to create social posts that actually connect with your audience and make people want to listen. I also invite listeners to join the School of Podcasting community, where we do listener parties, personal coaching, and help podcasters grow their shows in smarter ways.If you're serious about podcasting and want your marketing to stand out, this episode is your reminder to stop being basic and start being intentional. Podcast promotion doesn't have to be boring — and honestly, it shouldn't be.Takeaways:In this episode, we discuss how just saying 'new episode out' is the laziest way to promote your podcast, so let's spice it up!Every podcaster should lead with a hook that actually grabs attention, otherwise, what's the point of even posting?We emphasize the importance of creating engaging social media posts instead of the bland standard phrases that nobody cares about.It's shocking to see how many people still use outdated promotional tactics like 'find me wherever you find your podcasts' – just stop it already!If you want your episode to stand out, it needs a compelling claim or question that makes people want to listen and engage.Utilizing AI tools can help you generate better social media content than the typical 'new episode out' post, so why not give it a shot?Mentioned in this episode:Start Podcasting in Six Week - Starts June 3rdHave you been struggling trying to start a podcast?

What a weekend of sport it was last week. Rory's Masters triumph, Grand National bashing for the bookies, Premier League blown wide open, and Championship relegation heating up with the Scottish title race. Dialling in, it's Arsenal who are in the sights this week, and I knew they would be at 2:30pm on Saturday when they were booed off the pitch while 9 points clear in the Prem having lost 2-1 to Bournemouth. Is it a fair reaction to a club threatening to blow the achievement this project has strived for for 6 years or a lack of respect for the job those on the performance and business side have undertaken to put the club here in the first place. Add to that a look at the rapid growth of women's rugby and how it compares to women's football and we have ourselves a Breakdown!Disclaimer:The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.

Steak and Drew discuss the injured elbows of now two Braves projected starters as Spring Training is just getting started. Could they have planned a little better than this? Injuries are hard to predict, and there is not room to stockpile insurance.

We have to stay at it. We have to accept the losses that come…without accepting the status quo. We should not give up.

We love it when people speak the truth about what we align with. Whether it be our favorite sports team, political affiliations, our take on pop culture drama—when someone says something we align and agree with, we love to champion that. In the study of Romans so far, there have been many truths preached that many people in our church align and identify with, therefore, love and feel great about what is being preached. The danger is this: there are some who sit in this church week after week and think only about how horrible the world is, how awful other people are, or how depraved our culture is, all the while thinking that they are absolutely fine, in no danger at all, and no need of self-evaluation. If you are that person—this message is for you. Coming off the heels of seeing how the wrath of God is revealed against all unrighteousness, Paul now turns his attention to the individual: “Therefore, you have no excuse, O man” (Romans 2:1). These verses expose how we are all under the righteous judgment of God outside of Christ. May we take heed of the exposing nature of these verses and “not neglect so great a salvation” (Hebrews 2:3). BIG IDEA: I can't fool God.- How I Try to Fool God (1-5)- Hypocrisy (1-3)- Presuming on God's Kindness (4)- Hardness of Heart (5)- Two Eternal Paths (6-11)Luke 5:32 : “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

On this episode of JOI Podcast, the boys return with another round of authentic, unfiltered conversations.We started off with the Hallelujah Challenge, breaking down how it has evolved over the years and the cultural impact it continues to have across the diaspora. From there, we dove deep into a tough but necessary discussion on why many Africans say they “can't just go back home,” touching on economics, infrastructure, opportunity, and identity.The conversation then shifted to the trending news of Davido's political appointment, analyzing the symbolism, the timing, and what it might mean for celebrity influence in governance.We also explored how the UK market has played a major role in pushing Afrobeats to global dominance, and why London continues to be the bridge between African sound and worldwide recognition.Of course — as always — we wrapped it all up with a few other trending topics, jokes, debates, and those classic JOI hot takes.It's real, insightful, and entertaining from start to finish.

What if online harassment isn't random at all—but part of a strategy? In this explosive episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, host R Blank talks with Viktorya Vilk, Director of Digital Safety and Free Expression at PEN America, about how governments, corporations, and tech platforms are turning the internet into a weapon against free speech. Viktorya reveals how political power, economic pressure, and digital surveillance now intersect to create an ecosystem where journalists, writers, and even librarians are targeted for speaking out. She breaks down how authoritarian tactics, media consolidation, and platform indifference have combined to make the online world hostile to truth—and what each of us can do to push back.   In This Episode: How the U.S. dropped to 57th in global press freedom rankings—and why that's not an accident The chilling new playbook: online harassment as a censorship tool Why Big Tech's business model thrives on surveillance, fear, and silence How Facebook and Google siphoned 70% of online ad revenue, collapsing local journalism Real-life examples of reporters attacked, arrested, and digitally terrorized for telling the truth The practical digital safety steps every person can take—starting today Why Viktorya refuses to give in to “tech nihilism” and insists users have power   Why You Should Listen This isn't just a podcast about harassment or privacy—it's about democracy, power, and your voice. Viktorya explains how the same digital forces that endanger journalists are eroding safety and free expression for everyone. But she also shares concrete tools to rebuild your sense of control online: from password hygiene and privacy audits to collective advocacy that pressures tech platforms to act responsibly. She makes one thing clear: silence is the goal of harassment—and awareness is the antidote.   Connect With Viktorya Vilk: Website: https://pen.org Social Handles: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktorya-v-a65b9235/ X: @VilkViktorya   Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Field Manual Against Online Harrassment: https://onlineharassmentfieldmanual.pen.org/  Online abuse & Digital Safety Programs: https://pen.org/online-abuse-digital-safety/  Treating online abuse like Spam: https://pen.org/report/treating-online-abuse-like-spam/ Shouting into the void: https://pen.org/report/shouting-into-the-void/  No Excuse for abuse: https://pen.org/report/no-excuse-for-abuse/    Connect with R Blank: For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech    Additional Links: EMF Superstore: https://ShieldYourBody.com (save 15% with code “pod”) Digital Wellbeing with a Human Soul: https://Bagby.co (save 15% with code “pod”) Youtube: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bagbybrand/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bagby.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shieldyourbody  This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Our August break continues and we're throwing it way back to Episode 34 with Aaron Mankin. A true American hero, Aaron Menken joined Paul Rieckhoff at the Classic Car Club in New York for an incredibly powerful conversation. Having survived a catastrophic IED explosion in Iraq that left him with severe burns and countless injuries shares the story of his journey to recovery with Paul in this riveting conversation. This is about more than just survival—it's about choosing hope over despair and we're sure it will leave you feeling inspired. Aaron's injuries have meant he's had to endure over 70 surgeries to reconstruct his face and body, but he's lifting up others by turning his recovery into a mission to inspire others. He talks about the extraordinary support of Operation Mend at UCLA, a program that not only rebuilt his face but also helped restore his soul. With his trademark humor, he recalls a memorable encounter at the Playboy Mansion, where he found himself in a room with more plastic surgery than any place on Earth. It's a masterclass in turning trauma into purpose. The importance of gratitude and service, and a unique look at how you define a leader and a patriot. His powerful message is a must-listen interview with a man who has every reason to be angry but chooses to be happy and inspire others instead.
