Recently, I had one of those gut-punch moments every creator dreads: a dream interview, a perfect conversation… and I realized afterward that I never hit record. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and, honestly, it shook me more than I expected. Instead of hiding it, I'm bringing the whole story here, the missteps, the emotions, and the lesson I learned about giving myself grace when things go wrong. And I'm not alone. In today's episode, other creators from our community open up about their own podcasting fails. What starts as a collection of mistakes becomes something much more meaningful: a reminder that every podcaster, no matter how experienced, eventually stumbles.If you've ever felt the sting of a creative setback, this conversation is here to remind you you're human… and you're in good company.We'll be taking Thanksgiving week off (Nov 24–28) to rest and recharge. See you on December 1st, 2025.

Hey Friends~  Recently, I got a written message from a listener who wrote, ‘My husband is Serbian and speaks Serbian to our son. I speak English, but I don't speak Serbian well. Our little one is just 17 months and very vocal — but in my expat group, parents worry their bilingual kids might be confused. How young is too young for two languages? And how old is too old for 2 languages?”  It's such a good question — and one that so many families wonder about.

Today, we take a close look at Sean McClellan's Motivation: Not Letting Fear Control You from his podcast The Space Between and unpack what podcasters at every level can learn from it.

Our good friends, Mike and JT from Brew Crime, join us for November's unsolved crossover. Today, JT tells us about a terrifying six-year murder spree (1990-1996) targeted at least thirteen vulnerable elderly women in Richmond's West End, creating widespread panic. The case was officially pinned on one killer, but the narrative quickly fell apart: the series was split by a two-year hiatus and featured a pronounced shift from the stabbing homicides of six Black women to the homicides of seven White women. The case was hastily "closed" for the Phase II victims through the highly disputed confession of a diagnosed schizophrenic with zero forensic links to the crime scenes, leaving the initial wave of brutal stabbings completely unresolved. The official resolution is rooted in systemic failure and alleged racial bias, ensuring the actual killer, or killers, walked free. Source for the Episode Associated Press. (1996, April 25).

What truly keeps a professional audience listening? Today, we put Exam Room Nutrition under the microscope to find out. We evaluate how storytelling flow, clarity, and pacing shape that crucial first impression, and all of this plays into listener trust. We look at how clearly the episode speaks to its target audience, where the messaging connects, and where it drifts. We also review the title, cover art, and episode description to see if they clearly match the promise of the show. We also break down what keeps a professional crowd engaged and what may cause them to tune out.Shout out to an OG podcast coach, Cliff Ravenscraft for joining us and being a part of the evaluation team this morning!Episode Highlights: [02:10] Podcast Evaluation Overview[04:36] First Impressions of the Podcast[06:46] Audio Quality and Technical Feedback[15:30] Discussion on Podcast Descriptions[21:44] Cover Art and Title Suggestions[29:58] Optimizing Episode Titles[31:54] Podcast Players and Episode Numbers[32:21] Episode Descriptions and SEO[52:14] Podcast Outro and Listener EngagementLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Exam Room Nutrition: www.examroomnutritionpodcast.com/123-carnivore-omnivore-nutrivore-how-to-shift-from-calorie-counting-to-nutrient-densityTo Have Your Podcast Considered For Evaluation, Please Complete This Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewformCliff Ravenscraft:https://www.cliffravenscraft.com/podcastRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Welcome to Left Reckoning on Tuesday afternoons! Nick Bowlin (@npbowlin) returns to discuss oil industry externalities and Catherine Liu joins us to talk about the fall of the PMC and rise of gangster capitalists.Read Nick in ProPublica here: https://www.propublica.org/article/oklahoma-oil-gas-wastewater-pollutionCheck out Catherine Liu's Vitrue Hoarders here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517912253/virtue-hoarders/And Catherine Liu's Substack here: https://cliuanon.substack.com/

How often do you feel overwhelmed by all the steps it takes to produce content? From research to recording, editing, publishing, and repurposing, it's a lot. Today, I'm putting the spotlight on co-host Nick Nalbach, who recently built a custom project management app to tackle this exact problem. Even more impressive? He built it in just 48 hours using AI, and he's not a coder.We talk about the mental load that comes with content creation, what inspired the build, and how his app helps track time spent on each task. The idea is simple: know how long things really take so you can plan better and stop beating yourself up. We also dig into how AI will soon help the app suggest when to work on creative vs. admin tasks based on your personal productivity rhythms.Plus, I share my first impressions of the new Zoom PodTrak P4Next, a portable, affordable podcasting tool that could be a smart option for creators on the go.

¿Crees que vapear es inofensivo? La industria te ha hecho creer que el vapeo es la alternativa “segura” al tabaco… pero la ciencia está revelando otra historia.En este vídeo te explico, con claridad y sin exageraciones, cómo el vapeo está afectando tu cuerpo, tu energía, tu rendimiento y tu cerebro, incluso si nunca has fumado antes.Aprenderás qué sucede desde la primera inhalación, por qué tu cerebro se engancha sin que lo notes y cómo se destruye tu salud poco a poco mientras crees que no pasa nada.Y lo más importante: qué ocurre cuando decides dejarlo —día a día, mes a mes, tu cuerpo empieza a recuperarse.Cómo el vapeo altera tu cerebro y crea adicción sin que te des cuenta.Los efectos reales en tu corazón, pulmones y sistema nervioso.Qué está ocurriendo con tu energía, tu descanso y tu rendimiento físico.Por qué el vapeo da una falsa sensación de control mientras te daña en silencio.Cómo se regenera tu cuerpo cuando lo abandonas y cuánto tarda en hacerlo.

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.

We're starting a new type of episode where we evaluate podcasts and kindly discuss what makes a show work and what holds it back. Today, we review The Runner's Sole by podiatrist Dr. Sharon Miller, a niche running show on foot health and injury prevention. We break down audio quality (intro music length, headset feel, warmth vs over-processing), sound effects balance, and utilize tighter hooks. Then we look at branding: clearer cover art, consistent episode art, a keyword-rich subtitle, and smarter episode titles (“Common Running Injuries” first). We touch the YouTube playbook for thumbnails, plus SEO from transcripts and stronger show notes with resource links or affiliate gear. We also share how our team built this new format, what surprised us, and why consistency on release day matters. Want your show in the spotlight? Check our links and resources section below and fill out the form to have your podcast up for consideration!

Today is News Day, and we're covering some of the hottest headlines in the podcasting industry. YouTube wants podcasters to think like creators, and its new Podcast Playbook is full of tips to boost visibility and engagement.

What makes a podcaster rethink everything instead of walking away? Today, we sit down with co-host Sid Meadows, creator of The Trend Report, to unpack why he nearly ended his podcast and what led him to rebuild it instead. Sid opens up about the burnout that caused him to podfade, the breakthrough moment that brought him back, and the intentional steps behind his relaunch: listener interviews, new sponsorship plans, and a renewed sense of purpose. We also explore how to balance instinct with audience feedback and why clarity in branding and naming matters. To close out the show, we share some of our personal wins from the week and offer a reminder that any podcast can be reimagined with the right mindset and a willingness to reinvent.Episode Highlights: [03:05] Upcoming Podcast Evaluations[07:11] Sid's Podcast Revamp Decision[12:15] Advice for Podcasters Facing Burnout[16:58] Reconnecting with Listeners[21:46] Name Change Dilemma[28:53] Balancing Audience Expectations and Personal Vision[31:31] Rebranding for Growth[33:49] Monetization Strategies for Podcasts[40:00] Engaging Ads: Making Sponsorships Work[49:34] Community Wins Links & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠The Trend Report with Sid Meadows: https://www.sidmeadows.com/Rethinking Podcasting with Matthew Bliss: https://rethinkingpodcasting.com/podcast/rethinking-podcastingEmpowered Podcasting Conference Recap on Late Bloomer Living: https://www.latebloomerliving.com/blog/episode-245Courtney Elmer Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WecjvcTruth Unveiled with Ralph: https://www.youtube.com/@truthunveiledwithralph?si=N5Hxe2qKVz9OqKZvRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Sarah Campos e Yara Cordeiro debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o destaque continuou sendo o embate tarifário entre EUA e China. Apesar das ameaças iniciais de Trump com alíquotas bastante elevadas, o tom foi suavizado ao longo da semana, e o encontro com Xi Jinping a princípio está mantido. Já nos EUA, o shutdown seguiu limitando a divulgação de dados relevantes. Ainda por lá, dois bancos regionais afirmaram ter sido vítimas de fraudes em empréstimos ligados a fundos imobiliários, mas outros bancos afirmaram não ter visto aumento de inadimplência. No Brasil, dirigentes do Banco Central reforçaram o tom de cautela durante o encontro do FMI, indicando que a taxa de juros deverá permanecer em patamar restritivo pelo tempo necessário para garantir a convergência da inflação. Os dados de serviços (PMS) vieram em linha com o esperado, com destaque positivo nos serviços prestados às famílias, em parte beneficiados pelo efeito do pagamento de precatórios; e os dados de comércio (PMC) tiveram alta impulsionada por setores ligados a crédito. Nos EUA, os juros fecharam marginalmente (menos de 5 bps), e as bolsas performaram bem: S&P 500 +1,7%, Nasdaq +2,46%, Russell 2000 +2,4%. No Brasil, os juros mais longos fecharam (jan/31 -8 bps), o Ibovespa subiu 1,93% e o real 2,05%. Na próxima semana, destaque para o IPCA-15 de outubro, novas pesquisas eleitorais, CPI nos EUA, PMIs globais e o eventual anúncio da proposta que substituirá a MP 1.303. Não deixe de conferir!

The research is clear: 80% of listeners tune in mainly for the host, not the format, not the gear, but the person behind the mic. Today, we continue our podcasting news conversation with fresh headlines and honest discussion about what really keeps audiences listening. We discuss Adobe's AI-powered speech tool, making TIME's Best Inventions of 2025 list, sparking debate about how creators understand and utilize AI. The crew also weighs in on Auphonic, sharing their own experiences, frustrations, and thoughts on whether these tools support or stifle authenticity. From there, we unpack what this new research means for creators and why personality, connection, and consistency matter more than any algorithm.Episode Highlights: [03:55] Congratulations to Signal Award Winners[04:41] Adobe Podcast's Big 'Time Magazine' Win[13:34] AI in Podcasting: A Reality Check[28:52] Optimizing Blog Content for Google[29:58] AI and SEO Strategies[35:22] Host Connection in Podcasting[43:20] Engagement and DiscoverabilityLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Podcasting Made Simple Live: https://bit.ly/4omrkXSCongratulations to Kenda Lawson For Her Signal Award Win: https://www.signalaward.com/winners/#2025/shows/all/All/1979/-1/7Adobe Enhance: https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2025/7318238/adobe-podcast-enhance-speech/Auphonic: www.Auphonic.comJunaid Ahmed on Podcasting Made Simple Live: https://bit.ly/4omSr4YWhy the Host is Key: https://bit.ly/3WHF4k2Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Hi everyone! Today we're exploring the connection between ADHD and bullying. Research consistently shows that children with ADHD are more vulnerable to bullying than their neurotypical peers. For instance, a study utilizing data from the National Survey of Children's Health found that 47% of children with ADHD reported being victims of bullying, more than double the prevalence in the general population PMC.This increased susceptibility isn't just a childhood issue—it extends into adolescence and adulthood, affecting self-esteem and mental health. Adolescents with ADHD who experience bullying are at a significantly higher risk for anxiety and depression compared to their peers without ADHD. My guest today, Brooke Schnittman, knows this firsthand. Brooke is an ADHD coach, speaker, and host of the podcast, Successful with ADHD. She works to help adults turn their challenges into strengths. In our conversation, she shares her own story of being bullied from childhood into adulthood, how it shaped her understanding of ADHD, and what helped her begin to rebuild a sense of self-worth.This episode isn't just about surviving bullying - it's about understanding how those experiences shape the brain and the stories we tell ourselves, and how healing becomes possible through awareness, coaching, and connection. I also share some additional strategies - both for parents and adults - that can help build proactive protection and resilience in environments where bullying or exclusion might occur. I hope you enjoy!Here are the show notes: Learn More About Brookehttps://www.coachingwithbrooke.com/about-brookeSuccessfull with ADHD Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/successfull-with-adhd/id1674069554Bullying: What Parents and Teachers of Children with ADHD Need to Knowhttps://chadd.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ATTN_06_12_Bullying.pdfBullying Resource Centerhttps://www.aacap.org/aacap/Families_and_Youth/Resource_Centers/Bullying_Resource_Center/Home.aspxHow to Demobilize a Bully in 5 Stepshttps://www.additudemag.com/stop-bullying-adhd-upstander/?srsltid=AfmBOoozI6FRhewOLn8ICHuypgxNjYuz4icT8UfTDNIPcYINmIxqmwt3Put Down the Stick, Pick Up a Feather: Adult ADHD & Self-Criticismhttps://chadd.org/attention-article/put-down-the-stick-pick-up-a-feather-adult-adhd-self-criticism/Learn More About Our MAP Programhttps://map.worksmartcoaching.comLearn More About 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/how-it-worksGet in Touchpodcast@beyondbooksmart.comInstagram/Facebook/Tiktok: @beyondbooksmartcoachingwww.beyondbooksmart.com

Imagine opening Netflix and seeing your favorite podcasts right next to your favorite TV shows. That's the future Spotify and Netflix are building together, and it's one of several hot headlines we're jumping into today. We also look at new research from Edison showing when listeners actually hit play, Patreon's jaw-dropping $10 billion milestone that proves creators are cashing in, and how the hit kids' podcast Brains On took back control from corporate hands.

Every podcaster's got their go-to gear, but which tools actually make a difference? Today, we put our favorites on the table, one powered by AI and one that's not considered AI or perhaps falls in a gray area. We discuss tools ranging from  ChatGPT to Audacity and a few surprises in between, and the crew debates what's worth keeping in your toolkit. We also talk about community platforms like Kajabi and Go High Level, and ask the big question: are any tools non-AI anymore? The week wraps with wins that prove progress isn't about having every gadget, it's about how you use what you've got.Episode Highlights: [01:20] Happy Canadian Thanksgiving[05:20] Favorite AI and Non-AI Podcasting Tools[12:46] Community Building and Monetization Strategies[26:08] Discovering Claude and Coding Applications[26:59] Exploring Audio Editing Tools[28:02] Transcription and Social Media Tools[31:31] Teleprompter Apps and Alternatives[40:09] Podcasting Wins and Community HighlightsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠ChatGPT: https://www.chatgpt.comOtter: https://otter.aiPatreon: https://www.patreon.comKajabi: https://kajabi.comZoom: https://zoom.usCircle: https://circle.soMeetup: https://www.meetup.comSkool: https://www.skool.comGo High Level: https://www.gohighlevel.comResound FM: https://resound.fmAudacity: https://www.audacityteam.orgHindenburg: https://hindenburg.comClaude: https://claude.aiSlack: https://slack.comSora: https://sora.comElgato Teleprompter: https://www.elgato.com/en/p/prompter-xlDaVinci Resolve: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolveAdobe Audition: https://www.adobe.com/products/audition.htmlAliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.comSonible (Audio Plugins): https://www.sonible.comiZotope: https://www.izotope.comRethinking Podcasting (Podcast by Matt): https://rethinkingpodcasting.comChatter Social: https://chatter.socialEcamm Live: https://www.ecamm.comStream Deck (by Elgato): https://www.elgato.com/en/stream-deckRadio Garden State: https://radiogardenstate.comOdyssey App: https://www.audacy.com TuneIn: https://tunein.comAfros & Audio Podcast Festival: https://www.afrosandaudio.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

You finally land the perfect guest for your show… only to be met with silence. No reply. No booking. Nothing. Today's episode digs into why your outreach might be falling flat and what you can do differently to actually get a “yes.” The crew reacts to a viral clip from Dare to Self-Care about guesting and ghosting and whether small podcasters really do ask too much from potential guests. We discuss the balance of power between hosts and guests, how to set fair expectations, and why curating a great guest experience matters more than fancy outreach. Sometimes, the best pitch isn't about convincing, it's about connecting.Episode Highlights: [02:39] Podcasting News: WTF with Marc Maron[06:48] Discussion on Podcasting Burnout[13:49] Challenges in Podcasting: Marketing and Editing[17:33] Guest Outreach: Tips and Tricks[26:18] The Importance of Pre-Interviews[29:52] The Favor Exchange Debate[35:02] Creating a Positive Guest Experience[42:18] Streamlining Guest Collaboration and PromotionLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠On The Harmful Obsession of Podcasting as a Discipline:https://bit.ly/3KKcKuEToday's Clip From Dare To Care:https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMSXme6wRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

What would you do if you were suddenly banned from Facebook? Would you fight to get your account back or start fresh? Today's topic was inspired by cohost Rich Perry, whose 16-year account vanished overnight, and by Dopey Podcast, which was just kicked off Facebook again after recently regaining access. We dig into what creators can do when platforms pull the plug, how to recover, rebuild, and protect your work before it happens. At the end of the show, we open the mailbag to answer a listener's question about the challenges of going solo and finding your groove behind the mic.Episode Highlights: [02:09] Recap of Previous Episode on Social Media Shutdowns[03:01] Case Study: Dopey Podcast's Social Media Issues[05:57] Rich Perry's Experience with Social Media Takedown[15:16] Strategies for Creators to Protect Their Platforms[23:46] Exploring ManyChat and Other Tools[25:26] Rich's 90-Day Rebound Plan[28:07] Community Engagement and Lead Magnets[39:54] Solo vs. Co-Hosted PodcastingLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Dopey Podcast: https://dopeypodcast.comRich Perry On Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581658774463Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Gary Vee makes a bold claim about the future of podcasting. On Jamie Kern Lima's show, he predicted that creators will soon build AI co-hosts that could become bigger and more influential than the hosts themselves. We explore what that vision could mean for podcasters, starting with the opportunities it presents, as well as the ethical concerns surrounding trust and control. We touch on creativity, responsibility, and the role of real human connection. And since it's Friday, we wrap up by sharing our wins of the week that remind us why we keep showing up.Episode Highlights: [04:32] Gary Vee's Bold Prediction[06:12] Debating the Future of AI in Podcasting[24:07] AI in Education and Business[30:39] Creative Uses of AI for Promotion[34:36] Guardrails and Ethical Considerations in AI[38:37] Intellectual Property and AI[43:59] Wins from the WeekLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Dopey Podcast in Rolling Stone: https://bit.ly/4n6OT69Gary Vee On The Jamie Kern Lima Show: www.tiktok.com/@jamiekernlimaofficial/video/7547315256004070711Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

How many times have the gurus advised you to niche down and narrow the focus of your show? But do you feel this is the right advice, or are you being put in a box? After hearing indie podcaster Jacqueline Monroe push back on the “niche rule,” we dove headfirst into the debate. Some of us see niching as a growth strategy and a path to monetization. Others argued that building your brand and finding your voice matter more than fitting into a neat category. Along the way, we asked hard questions: Can “just being yourself” really be a strategy? Is it possible to grow broad and still connect deeply? And does every podcast need to monetize to be successful? This conversation isn't about rules; it's about what works for you. When it comes to podcasting, the only box that matters is the one you decide to build.Episode Highlights: [02:26] Segment Introduction [05:39] Jacqueline Monroe's Philosophy[07:17] Discussion: Is Niching Down Necessary?[15:54] Reframing the Niche Debate[29:43] Niching Down vs. General Topics[46:10] Examples of Non-Niched Podcasts[50:21] New Segment Idea: Clip DiscussionsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠The Jacqueline Monroe Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFsUX8YeuRQcuQgcE37T4AgEmpowered Podcasting Conference 2 Retrospective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0bBC8m2syERemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

How much AI is too much AI in podcasting? With OpenAI's surprise release of Sora 2, creators can now build digital clones of themselves in seconds. Riverside is also jumping into the mix, rolling out chat-based editing that promises to cut hours of work with a single command. But are these tools helpful breakthroughs or just shiny distractions? Beyond the tech, the industry has plenty more to buzz about: Mel Robbins topping the “how-to” charts despite ad-heavy episodes, the Black Podcasting Awards going live for the first time in Baltimore, and Rode's Creator of the Year competition offering a $200K prize pool. And in a twist only podcasting could deliver, an indie host and a celebrity both launched shows called Rock Bottom—sparking a bigger conversation about identity, trust, and what it really takes to stand out.Episode Highlights: [03:43] Podcast Statistics and Updates[14:35] Upcoming Events and Awards[18:43] AI News and Developments[25:25] Veo 3 Storyboard Feature and Fluid Video Creation[27:20] Riverside's Chat-Based Editing Announcement[35:18] People's Choice Podcast Awards Update[36:51] Buzzsprout's Podcast Name Generator[42:15] Trademarking and Protecting Podcast Names[47:30] YouTube's AI-Powered Music Hosts and Collaborator FeaturesLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Rode Creator of the Year:https://creatorawards.rode.com/Black Podcasting Awards: https://blackpodawards.comSpeke Fest: https://podnews.net/event/speke-fest-night-of-the-living-podAfros & Audios:https://podnews.net/event/7th-annual-afros-audio-podcast-festival-uniting-black-podcastsMatchup & Mixup Use Promo Code PMC to Get In Free: https://bit.ly/4nxjvP7What is Sora 2?:https://openai.com/index/sora-2Podnews:www.podnews.netPodcast Name Generator: https://www.buzzsprout.com/podcast-name-generatorPodcast People's Choice Awards: https://www.podcastawards.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

What an unforgettable weekend in Charlotte! I'm sincerely on cloud 9! Today, we're sharing the stories, strategies, and breakthroughs we brought home and the conversations that turned strangers into family. I want to thank everyone who made this gathering possible: our speakers who gave with open hearts, our volunteers who kept things moving, and every single attendee who showed up ready to learn, connect, and lift one another up. You are the reason this community is so special. One moment that stays with me is watching someone on stage replace “I am not worthy” with “I am worthy.” That mindset shift, witnessed by most of us, is a reminder of why we do this work: podcasting changes lives. And when we come together, those sparks grow into something unstoppable.Episode Highlights: [02:23] Reflections on the Empowered Podcasting Conference[05:37] Acknowledging Key Contributors[11:00] Memorable Takeaways[36:42] Connecting with the Community[39:41] Insights and Reflections[55:16] Improv Workshop Highlights[01:00:00] GratitudeLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Jason Cercone's EPC Recap Episode (Oct 1, 2025): www.bombtrackmedia.com/letsblowthisupRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

This week's World of DaaS LM Brief covers the lawsuit filed by Penske Media Corporation, parent of Rolling Stone, against Google over its AI Overviews feature. PMC argues that these AI-generated summaries siphon traffic and revenue from publishers by removing the need for users to click through to original articles. The case raises major questions around copyright, fair use, and the long-term sustainability of the publishing industry as Google positions itself as the primary “answer engine.”Listen to this short podcast summary, powered by NotebookLM.

Did podcasting only succeed because it was a break from video? Today, we dissect podcaster Rachel Corbett's claim and consider whether audio was truly an 'antidote' to visual media. Our conversation ranges from debating the evolution of podcasting, the guilt of binge-watching YouTube, and the accountability of podcasters for past statements. We also discuss how powerful listeners have become in shaping podcast content. Don't miss this conversation as we gear up for the Empowered Podcasting Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina.Episode Highlights: [04:22] Icebreaker Question:  If you had to choose forever only podcasts or only YouTube,  which would you pick? [12:47] Clip Introduction: Rachel Corbett's Take on Podcasting[17:01] Debate: The Evolution of Podcasting[31:08] Personal Preferences in Media Consumption[35:33]  Reading vs. Listening[43:42] Accountability for Past Statements[46:28] Evolving Opinions and Public PerceptionLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comRachel Corbett on Podcasting:https://bit.ly/486uiLnRode Video Podcast EP1: https://youtu.be/uaXRpg4_O9M?si=UCMEs9cMKwoOJ7pqRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

UC Irvine Professor and author of Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional Managerial Class, returns to Bad Faith to talk about Kamala Harris's new, painfully out of touch book 107 Days, FCC Chair Brendon Carr's ouster of late night host Jimmy Kimmel over banal commentary on Charlie Kirk, and Liu's own controversial tweets accusing those celebrating Kirk's death of having PMC sensibilities.

Send us a textOnes Ready sits down with Morgan Lerette —author of Guns, Girls, and Greed—to talk about life as a Blackwater mercenary during the chaos of Iraq and Afghanistan. From getting recruited as a broke Air Guard kid, to standing on flight lines wondering if forklifts win Bronze Stars, to suddenly pulling convoys through Route Irish with Navy SEALs and Rangers, Morgan lays it all out: the absurd, the grim, and the downright sketchy. We dive into the wild days of unarmored Peugeots with body armor for window panels, hooker stories from Jordan, and the not-so-fun reality of PMCs running missions with zero backup. And just when you're laughing at zebra-striped POW underwear, Morgan drops the hammer on the modern PMC industry moving kids across the border. Buckle up—this one goes from hilarious to horrifying in record time. Part two is going to be even spicier.Best place to get the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D5JMPTMY/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome back to Ones Ready 02:00 – Blackwater mercenary origins and pipeline discounts 05:00 – Morgan's “construction worker” to Air Guard journey 09:00 – Forklift heroes and Bronze Stars 13:00 – How a Security Forces guy landed at Blackwater 18:00 – Fallujah, no backup, and calling Bragg from a Nokia brick 22:00 – Corkscrew flights, Peugeots with steel plates, and sweaty armor 27:00 – Protecting diplomats with “creative” ROE 32:00 – Contractors vs State Department nerds 38:00 – QRF reality: escort service and car bomb season 42:00 – The flashbang fail and Iraqi cell-jammer pranks 44:00 – Guns, Girls, Greed—why Morgan's book pissed off Blackwater 47:00 – Hooker tales and Harvard economics majors 49:00 – Custer's Battles and the Wild West of PMCs 53:00 – The ugly truth: PMCs moving kids at the border 58:00 – Durable goods, cartels, and why trafficking beats drugs 1:02:00 – Why foreign-funded PMCs are a ticking time bomb 1:04:00 – Zebra-striped underwear POW story to close it out
