    The Habits That Keep You Podcasting (and the Ones That Don't) - EP 121
    Oct 19 2026
    What sort of podcasting traps do you fall into? When’s the last time you were scrambling as an episode date drew near? Maybe a rambling recording took hours to review, the next one was still sitting in that batch-edit stack, or you hadn’t even settled on a topic 24 hours before the scheduled drop. Podcasting is a lot of work—that’s no secret—but the right mindset can keep you feeling excited for your show, not stressed and resentful, and keep it from fading out.Drawing from her own podcast missteps and numerous client experiences, Mary walks you through three concepts to ponder when you need a boost to keep creating. The world, or at least your audience, deserves to hear your voice and perspective. Don’t let perfectionism, a murky distinction between urgent and important, or a distaste for marketing turn your passionate idea into a hard drive of unedited recordings that never see the light of day. Take inventory and meet yourself where you’re at to build a show that sticks:How to build a note-taking habit that makes your episode ideas always accessible;Time-blocking approaches that prevent putting off your production to-dos;Reframing your take on where promotion falls on the important/urgent scale;Why embracing imperfection might be the secret to a wonderful, long-lived podcast.Links worth mentioning from the episode:Episode 27, Sustainable Podcasting: https://www.organizedsound.ca/sustainable-podcasting-summer-break-episode-27/Episode 9, Starting a Perfectly Imperfect Podcast: https://www.organizedsound.ca/starting-a-perfectly-imperfect-podcast-episode-9/Episode 108, Pause, Plan, Publish: A Podcaster’s Blueprint for Slowing Down: https://www.organizedsound.ca/pause-plan-publish-a-podcasters-blueprint-for-slowing-down-episode-108/Support the Show!Love what you're hearing?

    When to Ask for Help Building Your Podcast with Paul Rosenblum - EP 120
    Oct 5 2026
    What if a bit of help could take your show from pipe dream to passion project? When you think about your reason for podcasting, maybe your mind jumps straight to listener and download numbers, guest appearances, and episodes in the bank. But even more is the “why” of creating your show in the first place. For Paul Rosenblum, the host of “The (Not Boring) Boring Small Business Bookkeeping and Accounting Podcast”, the foundational reason is a desire to keep teaching the younger generation of business owners about accounting and all the other essential financial details that are so hard to find.When his initial podcasting assistant fell through in 2022, just 10 episodes in, Paul had to decide whether to shutter his fledging show or keep pushing through. When he stumbled upon Stephanie Fuccio, a friend of Mary’s and fellow podcast producer, it felt like kismet. Backed by Paul’s innate ability to keep listeners engaged and Stephanie’s ongoing insights and assistance, the show has celebrated 100 episodes and gives no sign of slowing down. Some day, Paul won’t be a bookkeeper and podcast host anymore, but his lighthearted and informational teachings will persist as the helpful legacy he envisioned from the start. Take a deeper look at your own podcasting why and how:The impetus that takes you from vague idea to pressing record;How an outside perspective can take a show from dull to delightful;Why your “why” could be the tipping point when you get in a rut;A crash course in teaching tricks that make any subject matter utterly engaging.Links worth mentioning from the episode:Find out more about Paul: https://bookkeepermensch.com/Listen to The (Not Boring) Boring Small Business Bookkeeping and Accounting Podcast: https://bookkeepermensch.com/podcast-latest-episodesConnect with Stephanie Fuccio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dstephfuccio/Listen to episode 104, “The Perks of Being (or Having) a Co-Host with Darren Dukes and Jamie Weiss”: https://www.organizedsound.ca/the-perks-of-being-or-having-a-co-host-with-darren-dukes-and-jamie-weiss-episode-104/Support the Show!Love what you're hearing?
