Conversations with podcast creators.
Podtalk is short conversations with podcast creators, that are not just about podcasting… because I like to take the scenic route.
In each episode, I talk with podcast creators about their shows, experiences, what they’ve learned, what motivates them, and… well, everything related to podcasting from the indie creator’s point of view.

Guests had carried half the work—bringing stories, expertise, energy. Without them, everything had to come from her own research. The calendar got simpler. The actual work got harder. more →
