I give you, the serious podcaster, lots of things to think about. Not just about the future of podcasting, but how you can make podcasting better. Now I'm giving you another gift: some of your time back.

This is the final episode of Season 4 of Podcast Pontifications. Yes, that's quicker than anticipated. But don't fret, because Season 5 of Podcast Pontifications will start on Wednesday, March 30th, 2022. And new episodes will drop every Wednesday following that! 

But only Wednesdays. As I've been hinting about in the last few episodes, this show is... a lot. And you've already got a lot going on as a serious podcaster. Asking you to spend 10 minutes listening to me, reading me, or watching me four days a week... it adds up. And I really want you to think about how the questions and concepts I bring to you on each episode impact your life as a podcaster. And it'd be great if maybe you could even put them into practice! I'm not making that easy to do when I'm shoving another question or idea into your brain 24 hours later.

So starting Wednesday, my philosophical deep-dives into the most pressing questions about podcasting for serious podcasters will switch to a weekly format.

I've shopped this around to a few people, including many I engaged with last week at Podcast Movement Evolutions 2022. So far, every single person I've shared this with has breathed a sigh of relief. They too are busy and it's been hard for them to keep up with the fire hose of content I shove out four days a week. 

Moving to a weekly publishing schedule means more great news: no month-long summer break for me in June, my birthday month (though if you want to buy me a present, feel free), and no Long Winter's Nap to where I don't put out episodes during November and December of each year. Nope. Weekly means weekly, and you can count on new episodes or newsletters (or both if you're really a fan) dropping every Wednesday morning at the standard publishing time you've grown accustomed to; 10:00 AM Phoenix time. 

If you're one of the few who opts to pay for a subscription(thank you very much for your support) on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or via Buy Be A Coffee, you'll get the episode/newsletter a few hours before anyone else. So if you'd like to support the show and be an early bird, you have options!

Again, the first season of Season 5 of Podcast Pontifications will drop on Wednesday, March 30th, 2022. New episodes weekly after that. 

Thank you so much for listening to, reading, or watching me pontificate about podcasting all these years. I'm excited to keep on doing that, but now at a more sustainable frequency.

I shall be back directly with yet another Podcast Pontifications.

Cheers!

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could
