    Why I’m Ending Podtastic Audio — A Personal Farewell to Podcasting

    After years of helping indie podcasters improve their sound and stay inspired, this is the final episode of Podtastic Audio.

    In this honest and personal farewell, I open up about why I’ve decided to end the show, how podcasting changed my life, and where things are headed next.

    Whether you’ve been here since episode one or just found the show, thank you for being part of the journey.

    🎧 In this episode, I talk about:

    • Why I’m stepping away from podcasting (for now)
    • The story behind starting Podtastic Audio during the 2020 lockdowns
    • Lessons from the Kris and Kristine Show and the indie podcast scene
    • What happens when life shifts and your passion projects need to pause
    • Why most podcasts podfade — and why that’s okay
    • Thoughts on AI in podcasting and staying human in a tech-heavy space
    • Where I might go next — YouTube, vlogging, or something new
    • A full replay of Episode 1 to bring things full circle

    ▶️ Plus: Listen to the very first solo episode I ever recorded — raw, nervous, and 100% real.

    🎵 Ends with the Podtastic Audio theme song

  • 210 | The Ugly Side of Podcasting (That No One Talks About)
    2025/07/14
    If you're an indie podcaster who's ever felt completely drained, discouraged, or on the verge of giving up... you're not alone. In this brutally honest episode, I open up about the real-life challenges I've been facing—personally and creatively—and how podcasting has both helped and hurt along the way. From going through divorce, to ending The Kris and Kristine Show, to watching the numbers on this very podcast unexpectedly grow—this episode is raw, vulnerable, and 100% real. I'm not here to sugarcoat the podcasting journey. I'm here to talk about the parts no one tells you when you’re first setting up your mic and dreaming big: What happens when your co-host leaves... and it’s also your spouse.What it’s like to podcast while selling your house and dealing with life-altering burnout.How to keep creating even when it feels pointless.And why authenticity, not algorithms, is still your biggest advantage. 🎧 In This Episode, I Cover: The messy, emotional side of independent podcastingWhy downloads aren’t the only thing that matter (but still hurt when they’re low)The difference between being “seen” on TikTok vs. being heard on a podcastHow I built Podtastic Audio during the peak of The Kris and Kristine ShowReal, actionable tips to keep going when your motivation is at zero Whether you’re a solo podcaster, part of a co-hosted show, or just feeling like no one’s listening—this episode is for you.

  • 209 | Can AI Be Your Podcast Co-Host? A Real Conversation with ChatGPT
    2025/07/07
    Elevate your podcasting game with Riverside.fm's studio-quality recordings, lightning-fast editing, and enhanced streaming capabilities—try it today! Get 15% off with discount code Podtastic Riverside.Fm This week on Podtastic Audio, I took on a wild experiment: what if you didn’t have a human co-host… but an AI one instead? Yep, in this episode, I actually had a full-on conversation with ChatGPT to find out if AI could pull it off as a podcast partner. We cover a lot — from what a podcast even is (seriously, I told ChatGPT to pretend it didn’t know), to how indie podcasters like us can use AI tools to plan, edit, organize, and even improve our show’s workflow. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and why I think AI still has a long way to go before it can totally replace that real human connection — but man, it’s getting close. 🤖 In This Episode: Can AI really host a podcast?My recorded conversation with ChatGPT (including a funny moment about AM radio) How to explain podcasting to someone who’s never heard oneSmart ways to use AI for show planning and content discoveryEditing tips for busy indie creatorsWhat to do when guests have bad audioInterview advice (especially for nervous or quiet guests)Audio vs. video podcasting: where should you focus? This was one of the most unique episodes I’ve ever made — and honestly, it made me think about the future of podcasting in a whole new way. If you’re a solo podcaster or just AI-curious, give this one a spin. 🎧 Want to try your own AI co-host experiment? Let me know how it goes — I’d love to hear about it!
