Friendly Podcast Guide: Teaching Women How to Grow a Podcast (Without Burning Out)

One of my favorite types of podcasts to listen to in the winter is cozy podcasts. One of the first cozy podcasts I ever found was the All Things Cozy podcast. I've already done an episode where I chatted with the hosts, Matt and Gillian about their show, but I wanted an excuse to have them back on. 

I asked if they could share some of their favorite podcasts and they agreed! In this episode Matt and Gillian both give two of their favorite podcasts that are cozy. Hopefully you will find a new favorite podcast too!

My son is an animal lover. His favorite animal changes often, but there is always a place in his heart for marine animals. So when I found this podcast, I knew we had to listen to it and share it with other marine animal lovers. It's called Dive in with NOAA Fisheries. That's NOAA as in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

You made it through an incredibly busy holiday season. You are awesome!

Now it's time to do some relaxing. This week, I put together a list of podcasts that are calming to help you take some deep breaths and relax as we reflect on the end of this year and the start of a new one.

 We are in the thick of the Christmas season, and it is so much fun, but it's also a lot. So today, I wanted to share a Christmas podcast that'll help you find a pocket of calm in all of the crazy. It's called the Calm Christmas Podcast and tune in to this episode for a sneak peek!

One of my favorite ways to get in the Christmas spirit when I'm getting sick of Christmas music is Christmas podcasts. This week I wanted to show you that there are Christmas podcast episodes that are specifically geared toward kids with some Kid Christmas podcast episode recommendations that your whole family can enjoy together!

During the lead up to Christmas, I decided to show y'all some Christmas podcasts that you can listen to when you need a break from all of the Christmas music that seems to be on repeat this time of year. This week, I get to talk about the podcast, Totally Rad Christmas. This podcast talks about all things Christmas in the eighties and has the best feelings of Christmas nostalgia.

 I love listening to episodes when podcasters get a little more personal, do you?

One I really enjoy is when Kendra Adachi, the host of the Lazy Genius podcast, talks about what is saving her life right now. I've started doing my own version of these episodes too where I share some of my favorite things. I hope that other moms can relate to these favorite things and what is saving my life right now!

How does bedtime go at your house? Do you wish you had an easy bedtime routine?

Let me just tell you that bedtime usually starts out great at our house, but when it's time for me to say goodnight and leave the room, everything falls apart rather quickly.

This is why the kids now listen to sleep podcasts after I leave the room.

This week's kid podcast is one of the podcasts in our bedtime rotation called Koala Moon. It is wonderfully soothing, but still entertaining.

So you’re looking for a podcast, maybe it’s one that’ll help you learn about something specific or maybe you’re just looking for something to keep your kids  entertained while waiting in the carpool pick up line, don’t worry I’ve got you covered.

I love podcasts. I use them daily in a myriad of different ways. Just today I used them to connect with God, get caught up on the news of the day, entertain my kids while we were running errands, help me learn more about how to run a successful business and make me laugh super hard while I was doing the dishes. You too can have podcasts that cover all of these situations and even more. You COULD scour the internet to try and find all of those podcasts… reading podcast lists and trying to figure out if they’re a good fit for you just by reading words from a stranger OR you could listen to my show where I give you the facts of the podcast and the vibe of the show through an interview with the host or a clip from one of the podcast’s episodes. Finding a podcast doesn’t have to be overwhelming or hard, you just need to listen to The Friendly Podcast Guide.

Last month, I did an entire episode about cozy podcasts. Listening to a cozy podcast is one of my favorite ways to lean into the fall season. If you want to listen to that episode, it is linked on the full show notes.

Today's episode is also about cozy podcasts, but kind of a subgenre of cozy podcasts, food podcasts! If you are a foodie, you will find a new favorite (or two). There are so many amazing food podcasts out there to enjoy.
