| 1,000 Podcasts Later, I'm Breaking My Rule | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:06:54 | |
How many times does someone need to hear from you before they trust you enough to buy? Whatever number you're picturing, it's gone up. A lot. And it's one of the reasons I've broken my own podcast rules! For a decade I told women exactly like you that a weekly podcast episode was enough. In this Pod Shot I explain why I no longer believe that, what the latest research on buyer behaviour actually shows, and why the maths of weekly is quietly working against you. I also share the one number I worked out today that genuinely stopped me in my tracks, what five daily episodes really turn into behind the scenes. It's a bigger figure than you'd think, and it changes everything about what's possible for a small business owner in 2026. And I leave you with something to work out about your own business today. It'll show you exactly how long a stranger is currently waiting before they trust you enough to spend a penny. Five minutes. Press play, and let's break a rule together. New Pod Shot every weekday.

| What the heck is a Pod Shot? | 09 Aug 2026 | 00:05:51 | |
What if the smartest podcast strategy for your business wasn't a bigger show, but a much smaller one? A Pod Shot is a five-minute daily podcast episode that feels like a voice note from a friend, built to turn listeners into clients. In this first episode, I explain what a Pod Shot is, why I created the format after ten years running a podcast agency and launching over 1,000 podcasts, and the shift happening in the podcast industry that most small creators haven't spotted yet. If you're a coach, consultant, or founder thinking about starting a podcast to grow your business, this shift changes what you should build. I also reveal the experiment I'm running on myself between now and Christmas, and the one unusual way I'll be measuring whether it works. It isn't downloads, and most podcasters wouldn't dare say it out loud. Press play. It's five minutes, and you'll never look at daily podcasting the same way.

| Nobody Finishes Long Podcast Episodes | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:04:22 | |
When did you last actually finish a 90-minute podcast episode? Not press play with the best of intentions. Finish it. If you can't remember, you're not the only one, and there's something happening behind that which most people publishing long episodes have no clue about. Podcast engagement doesn't work like Instagram or TikTok. It's measured by how much of your episode somebody actually listens to, and that one difference decides whether Apple and Spotify start recommending your show to new listeners or quietly leave it sitting where it is. In this episode I run through what happens when two shows publish the exact same content at two different lengths, why we all got the idea that longer means more valuable (and why it doesn't), and the one thing I want you to do to your content plan before you record another word. It'll take you less time than the episode you didn't finish. New Pod Shot every weekday. Come and find me on Instagram and TikTok: @lynsaymakeswaves | |||
