Crisis Talks: 50 Episodes Later - What Podcasting Has Really Taught Us
50 episodes in… and we’ve actually learned a few things!
In this Crisis Talks episode of Midlife, No Crisis, we reflect on what it’s really like starting (and sticking with) a podcast — from chaotic beginnings to finding our rhythm.
What started as a spontaneous chat with zero plan has turned into something much bigger than we expected… and not just in terms of podcasting.
What We Talk About in This Episode
- How the podcast started (spoiler: no plan, no equipment, no clue)
- Why getting microphones was a total game changer
- Learning to actually prepare (a bit!) and structure conversations
- The reality of editing, tech, and behind-the-scenes work
- How we’ve improved our communication and stopped talking over each other
- Social media growth and unexpected viral moments
- What it feels like when people you know (and don’t know!) listen
💡 What We’ve Learned From 50 Episodes
- You don’t need to be perfect to start — just start
- Consistency matters more than polish
- Tech helps… but personality matters more
- Podcasting is more work than it looks (especially without a team!)
- You get more confident (and honest) over time
- Not everyone will like you — and that’s fine
