  • Why Authenticity Is Our Greatest Filter with Podcaster Emma Klipstein
    Jun 10 2026

    Emma Klipstein, host of Too Much Podcast on the Podcast Nation network, joins Clio this week on Officially Influenced. Emma is a branding expert, captivating storyteller, fashion trendsetter, and a powerful example of what it means to stay authentic in today’s digital landscape.

    After building a successful podcast and loyal community, Emma experienced what many creators fear most: losing the brand she helped build following a fallout with her co-host. Rather than letting that setback define her, she started over, launching a new podcast entirely on her own and rebuilding from the ground up.

    In this episode, Emma shares the strategy behind her impeccable branding and social presence, the mindset and work ethic that have fueled her success, and why vulnerability continues to be such an important part of her content. She also offers valuable insights on navigating challenges, embracing reinvention, and building something meaningful, even after starting from scratch.

  • Audio vs. Video - The Biggest Shift in the Podcast Industry with Libby Absten
    Apr 29 2026

    Video is everywhere in podcasting right now, and the industry is feeling the shift in a big way. Clio is joined this week by Libby Absten, Director of Strategic Growth & Partnerships at Podcast Nation, to discuss the rise of video in podcasting and what creators need to know to make the right decision for their show. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to podcast marketing strategies. At Podcast Nation, we are constantly testing the different features that these big platforms put out, and as much benefit there is to being an early adopter and getting ahead of the curve, there’s also so much to think about when it comes to a creator’s bandwidth and where their audience lives. Based on her research, Libby shares her advice to creators who are considering starting with or adding in video, and also answers the question of “will video replace audio in podcasting?” Tune in to hear more about this monumental industry shift!
