| The Prosecutors: The Podcast They Never Expected Anyone to Hear | 30 sept. 2026 | 00:56:08 | |
When Alice LaCour and Brett Talley started The Prosecutors in 2020, they didn't tell their friends or families. The two federal prosecutors expected to record a few episodes, discover nobody was listening, delete the show, and move on. Six years later, they've never missed a week. Alice and Brett join Stephen Cross to go behind the scenes of The Prosecutors and The Prosecutors: Legal Briefs. They talk about starting with cell phones and Audacity, building a production team, researching cases, covering trials such as Karen Read and Lindsay Clancy in real time, and accidentally turning live recordings into a popular perk for their Patreon community. They also discuss balancing podcasting with demanding legal careers and growing families, working with PodcastOne while retaining creative control, the changing true-crime landscape, and why their finished episodes require surprisingly little editing. Finally, Brett and Alice reflect on what six years of podcasting have taught them about criticism, confidence, and having the courage to put your voice into the world. ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||
| Recovery Elevator’s Paul Churchill on Sobriety Podcasting, Community, and Speaking Out | 23 sept. 2026 | 00:58:38 | |
Stephen interviews Paul Churchill, creator and host of the Recovery Elevator podcast, which he launched in 2015 shortly after quitting alcohol (last drink September 6, 2014) to create accountability and reduce stigma. Paul shares how early recovery, AA, and a moment of shame hiding outside a meeting inspired the show, which grew from a few listeners to a weekly Monday release schedule, over 600 episodes, and a large community. He explains the show’s story-driven format, guest selection (often everyday people with little sobriety time), and how recovery podcasting helps those not ready to seek help in person. The conversation covers anonymity, criticism from within AA, burnout and building a production team, the creation of the nonprofit Cafe RE community app, Paul’s books, and themes of connection, modern addiction, and mental health, including the loss of a friend around episode 600.

| How Just One More Watch Became a Career (and Launched Erebus) | Jody Musgrove Interview | 16 sept. 2026 | 00:45:41 | |
Stephen interviews Jody Musgrove of Just One More Watch, the affordable-watch YouTube channel he started in 2016 that has grown to over 360,000 subscribers, 1,400 videos, and 118 million views. Jody explains how the channel began as a hobby and evolved into his main income, his focus on value for money, and how he built a consistent studio-based format while upgrading production over time and later hiring an editor and thumbnail help. He discusses adapting content based on analytics, including using list videos to recover viewership, and describes the shock of YouTube mistakenly deleting his channel in July 2021 before restoring it about 18 hours later. Jody also covers launching his watch brand Erebus in 2023, balancing reviewing with selling a product, and his advice to creators: start, have a direction, and stay consistent.

| How Talking Drupal Stayed Consistent for 13 Years (600+ Episodes) | 01 sept. 2026 | 00:59:11 | |
In the first episode of Produced By, Stephen is joined by Talking Drupal hosts Nic Laflin and John Picozzi to discuss how their weekly panel-style Drupal podcast has lasted 13 years and surpassed 600 episodes, roughly 3,000 monthly listeners, and 1 million downloads. They review the show’s audio-first format, its open-source community ethos, and motivations for continuing, including learning, giving back, and staying relevant rather than making income. Key evolutions include having consistent weekly guests, a dedicated Module of the Week correspondent, rotating monthly guest hosts, and recent live streaming with audience chat. They address burnout, highlighting the importance of splitting responsibilities after episode 300, improving production automation, taking planned breaks, and maintaining sustainable workflows, while sharing memorable moments. ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||

Stephen introduces Produced By in episode 000, a show about what it really takes to produce a podcast by going behind the scenes before recording, during the session, and after an episode goes live. The show will cover planning, preparation, editing, publishing, promotion, and building an audience for audio or video podcasts, highlighting that every show is “produced by” someone, whether a solo creator handling everything or a full team. Stephen will interview the people who make podcasts happen to discuss why they started, how their production evolved, challenges, key decisions, and lessons learned, while also touching on technology and exploring what “success” means for different podcasts. ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||
