This Saturday’s episode is a cozy, audio-only reminder that done is better than perfect. It was cold outside, I didn’t want to do my hair, and instead of forcing video, I hit record anyway and leaned into the beauty of audio podcasting. I’m Steph, your Pod Savvy Guide, and for work I’m a podcast producer, which gives me a big advantage because I get to see what actually works across the shows I produce professionally and my own personal podcasts. In this episode, I walk you through the 18 tools I use as a podcaster, most of them daily or weekly, to stay organized, save time, and keep five active podcasts running smoothly. From booking and automation to recording, editing, clipping, publishing, and social media, I share what’s truly effective behind the scenes. I probably nerded out a little too much, but if you love workflows, tools, and anything that makes podcasting easier and more sustainable, this episode will be right up your alley.

If podcast promotion feels overwhelming, this episode is for you. In this walkthrough, Pod Savvy Guide Steph breaks down her exact system for taking one podcast video file and turning it into content for Spotify, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and LinkedIn without spending hours on it. You’ll learn how to pull clips in Riverside, resize them for different platforms, use Spotify’s built-in clip feature, and batch schedule everything so it’s done in under 15 minutes. This episode is all about systems, momentum, and making podcasting doable as a solo creator. Because your voice deserves to be heard and it shouldn’t feel complicated to get it out there.

With the new year here, it’s time for a little podcast housekeeping. In this episode, Pod Savvy Guide Steph walks you through the 10 things she personally reviews every January to make sure her podcasts are updated, organized, and ready for the year ahead. From refreshing your series description and cover art to checking links, guest booking workflows, tech tools, and social media consistency, this episode is all about clearing the clutter so you can focus on recording and sharing your voice. If you’ve been putting off the admin side of podcasting, this is your sign to knock it out and start the year feeling aligned and confident behind the mic.
