In this episode, we break down how to clean up your podcast workflow and keep podfade far away. Nearly half of new shows die by episode three — but with the right strategy, mindset, and production habits, yours won’t be one of them. You’ll get five quick, practical ways to stay consistent, stay creative, and keep your show moving forward.

We also cover a sharp industry update: Cineverse’s new VAUDIO™ tech, which instantly converts audio ads into connected‑TV ads without shooting a single frame. It’s a smart bridge between podcasting and CTV that could open new revenue paths for creators.

Finally, we clear up the chaos around what a “play” actually means. YouTube counts the first frame, Apple counts every restart, Spotify counts 30 seconds, AMP follows the same rule, and the IAB doesn’t count plays at all. If you’re comparing performance across platforms, you need to know the difference.
