    Every indie podcaster hits that moment — the one where you wonder, “Why am I even doing this?” Low download numbers, crickets for feedback, and the creeping feeling that no one’s listening can make podcast burnout feel inevitable.

    But here’s the truth:

    👉 Most podcasts don’t fail because they’re bad — they fail because the host gives up too soon.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    ✅ The 2011 doomsday prediction (remember Harold Camping?) and how it surprisingly connects to podcasting

    ✅ Why indie podcasters quietly predict their own “podcast doomsday”

    ✅ The emotional rollercoaster of hobby podcasting (yes, you’re normal)

    ✅ 6 actionable tips to stay motivated, consistent, and keep growing — even when the numbers feel discouraging

    We’ll cover:

    🎙 How to focus on one listener at a time

    🎙 Why consistency beats overnight success

    🎙 Using stats as a tool, not a self-worth scorecard

    🎙 Putting fun and creativity first

    🎙 How to build community around your show

    🎙 The power of saving positive feedback for tough days

    If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to hang up the mic, this episode is packed with podcasting motivation, real talk, and strategies to help indie podcasters stay in the game. Remember, your best episode is still ahead — don’t quit before the magic happens. ✨

  • 200 | Podcasting Saved Me: From Love to Loss and Finding My Voice Again
    2025/05/05
    In this special 200th episode of Podtastic Audio, I’m taking off the headphones and getting real with you. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked as a gasoline tanker truck driver—and for the past several years, I’ve also been behind the mic as an indie podcaster, podcast editor, and podcast coach. But this episode isn’t about audio tips or gear recommendations. It’s about why I podcast in the first place. This is my most personal episode yet. I’m sharing the full story of how I went from being a long-haul listener to launching The Kris and Kristine Show with my wife, how that podcast helped build a relationship—and how the end of both the show and the marriage left me rebuilding everything from scratch. Through heartbreak, divorce, and the chaos of starting over, podcasting became more than just a creative outlet—it became my lifeline. I talk openly about navigating the collapse of a relationship, the decline of our podcast, and what it’s like to lose your co-host and your best friend all at once. But I didn’t stop. I kept creating. In this episode, I also introduce my new podcast project, Everyone’s a Bot, a short-form social media comedy podcast that helps me laugh through the absurdity of online life. Whether you're new to podcasting, deep into your own indie podcast journey, or just need to hear a real story about resilience and rediscovery, this one’s for you. 🎧 In this episode, I talk about: Why I started podcasting in the first placeHow The Kris and Kristine Show came to life (and how it ended)The reality of podcasting with your partnerHow Podtastic Audio was born to help other podcasters improveThe emotional toll of divorce and rebuilding my lifeLaunching Everyone’s a Bot—a new creative outlet for fun and healingWhy podcasting still means everything to me Thanks for listening, and thank you for helping me reach 200 episodes.

    Imagine spending years building your podcast — and then losing it all because you trusted the wrong platform. Sounds crazy, but it happens way more often than you think.

    In this episode of Podtastic Audio, I'm diving into why it’s so important to own your content and back up your podcast before something unexpected happens. I’ll walk you through real stories, my own experience with podcast backups, and the exact steps you need to take today to make sure your show sticks around for generations.

    We’re talking about:

    • Why you can’t rely on Spotify, YouTube, or Facebook to protect your content
    • How to properly download and store your MP3s
    • The surprisingly easy way to save your RSS feed (yes, the one that looks like a bunch of crazy code)
    • Best practices for organizing your podcast backups without making a giant mess
    • How I personally backed up my very first podcast — and why you should too

    ⚡ Pro Tip: Backing up your show today is a whole lot easier than trying to rebuild it from scratch tomorrow. Don’t leave your hard work to chance.
