What Podcasting Made Possible For Us 🎊 // INTERNATIONAL PODCAST DAY SPECIAL (unedited)

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 36:16

Recently, I've made it my mission to meet more podcasters/guests for my shows in person.

And look, it’s already working. 😊

For International Podcast Day, I invited a bunch of lovely podcasters based in Austria to meet me for a coffee, have a chat and celebrate this wonderful medium we’ve all somehow found ourselves in.

These lovely people showed up. ❤️

I always find it so meaningful to hear other podcasters talk about their journey.

What got you into podcasting in the first place?

What were your most embarrassing fails?

How did you find your people and your listeners?

What has your podcast made possible that you never expected?

What worked? What absolutely didn’t?

And, perhaps most importantly: why are you still showing up?

Because the podcasting journey is never linear.

There are moments when everything clicks, moments when you wonder whether anyone is listening at all, unexpected opportunities, awkward interviews, technical hiccups, brilliant conversations, long pauses, new directions and plenty of figuring things out as you go.

And that’s what I loved about this conversation.

So if you’re thinking about starting a podcast, wondering whether podcasting is still for you, or simply looking for that little spark to keep going, listen in.

And while you’re listening, think about how YOU would answer all the questions we raised.

What brought you here?

What have you learned?

What made you cringe?

Who are your people?

And what has your podcast made possible?

A huge thank you to everyone who joined me for this coffee and conversation. I’m so glad you showed up.

You’re Not Speaking Into the Void (Even If It Feels Like It)

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 13:51

Ever feel like you’re posting, publishing and podcasting into the void?

Today I will share two encounters that reminded me why you can’t always measure the impact of your work by likes, comments, downloads or replies. One came through a LinkedIn comment from someone I had never directly connected with. The other happened at an event, when someone I’d never spoken to told me that my work had stayed with them.

Both were little reminders that our voices can land much further than we realise.

In this episode, I also talk about those quieter seasons when engagement drops, community participation fluctuates and you start wondering whether anyone is actually listening. I also share a simple practice for collecting the messages, comments and moments that remind you: your work is reaching people, even when you can’t see it.

Because you are not speaking into the void.

And your voice might be making an impact in ways you’ll only hear about much later.

Why You Need to Continue to Put Your Voice Out There

Friday, September 18, 2026 • Duration 12:17

Ever had someone tell you, “I’ve been meaning to sign up…”?

And then you realise they’ve been seeing your offer for weeks?

This episode is a little reminder not to underestimate how many touchpoints it can take before someone actually says yes.

In this episode, I share a very real-life example of my own: I wanted to join a mentor’s group programme. I had every intention of signing up. And then… life happened. I got distracted. There was a tech issue. I got distracted. I closed the page. And then, days later, I heard the programme mentioned on a podcast and thought: Oh yes. THAT thing. I still want to do that.

It made me think about how often we stop talking about our offers because we’re worried about being annoying or “too salesy”.

But sharing your offer isn’t the same as constantly selling.

Some people will scroll past. Some won’t be ready. Some simply need to hear about it again at the right moment.

So in this episode, I’m talking about why I think we need to get a little more comfortable with repeating ourselves, and how you can naturally weave your offers into newsletters, LinkedIn posts, podcasts, conversations with clients and pretty much wherever you already show up.

And yes, I also share a little invitation of my own: Podcasting Revisited: Impact, Visibility & Leadership, my new 6-week course for existing podcasters, starts October 22.

Because apparently I’m taking my own advice. 😉

Letting Go of Control and Creating Playfully

Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 17:20

What happens when you stop trying to get it right?

After a busy summer with my three kids, I’m finally back behind the mic. And a few recent mentoring conversations got me thinking about something I keep coming back to in my own work: presence, curiosity and the freedom to experiment.

In a mentoring programme, I meet people who are figuring out things like business development, visibility, confidence and how they want to show up publicly, including through their podcasts.

One conversation introduced me to a simple but very impactful exercise from an artist: drawing another person for two minutes without looking at the paper.

There was something wonderfully freeing about not being able to check, correct or control what I was creating. I had to trust the process. And what came out of it was really meaningful and beautiful.

It got me thinking about voice leadership and podcasting in a slightly different way.

What if we treated our creative work like a blank piece of paper?

What if we allowed ourselves to try things, make things, play around with our voice and practise being visible without the pressure to make everything perfect, polished or publishable?

Not everything we create needs to become a podcast episode. Not every idea needs to be shared. Sometimes the experimenting is the point.

And maybe that is where some of the most interesting things begin.

🎤 I also share more about my upcoming Johns Hopkins University Odyssey course, Your Podcast Revisited: Leadership, Impact, and Visibility, starting October 22.

If you already have a podcast and feel like it’s time to look at it with fresh eyes, we’ll explore what’s working, what isn’t, and how your podcast can become a more meaningful expression of your voice and leadership.

One Simple Link to Get More People Listening to Your Podcast

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 14:12

Are you making it harder than it needs to be for people to listen to your podcast?

If you’re sharing an episode with your audience, you might be sending them to Spotify or Apple Podcasts. But what if they use a different podcast app? Or listen on a different device?

In this episode of Lead With Your Voice, I share one simple way to make your podcast episodes easier to find, play and save.

Instead of sharing separate links for Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms, you can share one link that gives listeners different options — including listening directly in their browser or choosing their preferred podcast app.

It’s a small change, but reducing friction can make a real difference. The easier you make it for someone to press play, save an episode and add it to their regular listening, the more likely they are to actually come back to your podcast.

Why sharing only Spotify or Apple Podcasts links can create unnecessary friction
How a simple link gives your listeners multiple ways to access your podcast
Why making it easy to save an episode matters
How small improvements to the listener experience can support podcast growth
A simple podcast sharing habit you can start using right away

I also share an invitation to my upcoming six-week live podcasting course with Johns Hopkins University, starting October 22.

The course is open to podcasters worldwide and includes live sessions, replays and plenty of opportunity for individual support. The group is intentionally limited in size so you can get more than just another collection of podcasting tutorials.

If you’ve already launched your podcast and are wondering what comes next — how to make your podcast work harder for you, build confidence in your voice, and create something that actually supports your bigger work — this is for you.

The Hidden Grief in Podcasting (Even When Things Are Going Well)

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 30:05

What if one of the hardest parts of podcasting isn't consistency, strategy, or growth... but grief?

Returning from a family holiday in Italy and I reflect on the bittersweet feeling of leaving behind moments that can never quite be recreated. That experience opens the door to a conversation most podcasters never have.

Because every podcast journey asks us to let go.

Whether you're just getting started, questioning your direction, celebrating milestones, or wondering why something still feels unexpectedly heavy despite your success, this episode explores an emotional side of podcasting that often stays hidden.

Today I want to share six (surprising!) ways grief can show up as you build your voice, your platform, and your leadership. You may recognize yourself in more than one of them.

This isn't an episode about loss.

It's an episode about growth, identity, change, and what it really means to keep showing up with your voice over time.

If you've ever wondered why podcasting can feel so deeply personal, this conversation might put words to something you've been carrying for a long time.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why podcasting can stir emotions that have nothing to do with microphones or downloads.
The hidden side of building a public voice over many years.

How letting go may be one of the most important skills every podcaster develops.

Whether you're an experienced host or still thinking about starting your podcast, this episode is an invitation to see your journey (and yourself!) with a little more compassion.

Building a Relationship with Your Voice

Monday, July 6, 2026 • Duration 26:40

Subscribe to my newsletter here: ⁠https://reginalarko.com/newsletter/⁠

What if the thing your audience has been looking for wasn't your expertise... but your voice?

I recently looked back at my podcast analytics. Not just the download numbers, but the comments, the messages, and the moments where people stayed with me the longest.

And I noticed something.

The episodes that resonated most weren't the ones filled with podcasting strategies or technical advice.

They were the ones where we talked about something much deeper: what it means to find your voice, trust it, and keep choosing it—even when life changes you.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on what that taught me. About podcasting, yes. But even more about leadership, identity, and why our relationship with our own voice is never really "finished."

If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself lately, questioning your direction, or comparing your path to everyone else's, I hope this conversation feels like a gentle reminder to come home to your own voice.

In this episode, we explore:

why the conversations that matter most often aren't the ones we expect
what podcast analytics revealed about the work I'm really here to do
why growth can feel uncomfortable (and why that's not a sign you're on the wrong path)
the two habits that quietly pull us away from our own voice
how comparison becomes louder than intuition
a simple practice to reconnect with the version of you that's already there
why your voice isn't something you find once—but a relationship you keep nurturing

Your voice will keep changing.

The question isn't whether you've found it.

The question is:

Why "Just Do It" Doesn't Work (And What to Do Instead)

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 20:00

If you've been thinking about starting a podcast for months—or even years—but still haven't hit record, you're not alone.

"Just do it."

It's probably the most common advice aspiring podcasters hear. It's well-intentioned, but what if it's also the reason so many people stay stuck?

After spending the weekend at a podcast festival and speaking with dozens of incredible people who all shared the same dream—starting a podcast "one day"—I came home questioning the advice I've given for years.

In this episode, I explore why motivation and more information aren't the missing pieces, why waiting to feel ready rarely works, and the surprising mindset shift that can finally help you move forward.

If you've ever wondered why you keep putting your podcast idea on hold despite knowing exactly how much you want to do it, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why "just do it" isn't always helpful advice
The real reason so many aspiring podcasters stay stuck
A powerful mindset shift that changes how you think about launching a podcast
The one question to ask yourself if you've been waiting for the "right time"

Whether you're dreaming of starting your first podcast or you've been talking yourself out of it for years, this episode might change the way you think about taking that first step.

Visibility vs. Building an Audience You Own

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 18:25

Subscribe to my newsletter here: https://reginalarko.com/newsletter/

A sudden Facebook account closure made me reflect on something most of us don’t like to think about when we’re building our presence online.

We are not actually building on platforms we own.

And yet, so much of how we measure success is tied to them . Just think of the way you approach followers, likes, reach, downloads.

It feels real. It feels like growth. But it’s fragile in ways we often only notice when something disappears.

In this episode, I explore what it really means to build a voice in today’s digital world and why visibility alone is not enough if it isn’t anchored in ownership.

Because the deeper work isn’t about chasing more attention.

It’s about building something that lasts beyond the algorithm.

Something that stays with you, even if a platform changes overnight.

In this episode I talk about:

voice leadership in a world obsessed with metricspodcasting and podcast growth beyond algorithms
authentic communication as the foundation of trust
thought leadership as a long-term body of work, not a content sprint
visibility vs. building an audience you actually own

And I share why your podcast is not just content, it’s infrastructure. A living archive of your thinking, your leadership, your perspective.

This episode is for you if you’re in that in-between space:

You’re showing up. You’re building. But part of you is starting to ask what actually lasts.

I hope this episode gives you a new lens on your work and that my passionate call to action (yes, you'll hear my voice picking up) to ask yourself some different questions about what it is that you’re currently building. And what you are building on.

Podcasting, Coaching, and Showing Up Human (feat. TJ Bennett, The Desuckify Work Podcast)

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 29:20

How do you keep showing up when no one is making you?

In this episode of Lead With Your Voice, I sit down with podcaster, creative, coach, and wonderfully curious human TJ Bennett, host of the Desuckify Work podcast.

For nearly three years and more than 130 episodes, TJ has shown up week after week to have meaningful conversations about making work more human, more fulfilling, and yes, a little less sucky.

We talk about what drew him to podcasting in the first place, how he launched his podcast alongside his coaching business, and the simple act of public accountability that helped him begin before he felt fully ready.

This conversation is really about something bigger: what happens when you trust your curiosity enough to follow it. TJ shares why listening is one of the most underrated leadership skills, how decades in the advertising world shaped his approach to coaching, and why creating space for other people's stories has become central to both his work and his podcast.

We also explore the tension many of us feel between being professional and being human online, the importance of playfulness and experimentation, and why your voice matters long before you have everything figured out.

If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to start your podcast, share your ideas, or put your voice out into the world, this episode is a reminder that the people making the biggest impact are often the ones willing to begin before they're ready.
