Cosmo says your zodiac sign has a perfect podcast match, and we couldn’t resist putting it to the test. Today’s episode kicks off with a fun horoscope-inspired segment before digging into fresh industry headlines. Apple just teamed up with Canva to launch free, customizable templates for podcasters, making it easier to create sharp promo graphics. We also cover Anthropic’s new Claude 4 upgrades and Google’s Veo-3 Gemini integration, which allows creators to direct AI-generated video frame by frame. We also discuss how major events like VidCon and Podcast Movement compare, and why some podcasters are choosing to attend smaller and more intimate conferences in comparison to events with thousands of participants. This episode keeps you current and shows you new tools to boost creativity and workflow. Don’t miss this one, listen all the way to the end.
