Give Them An Excuse Not To Podcast [S3E133]
I think anyone who wants to have a podcast should have a podcast. Or at least try it on for size and see if it’s for them.
But the reality is that podcasting is not for everyone.
I think we podcasters need to be more honest and upfront with that reality during our conversations with people who express an interest in podcasting.
When a business, perhaps a business you work for, asks you about podcasting, they may not realize the actual work and have a poor understanding of likely outcomes. Don’t let them disappointed or cause them to wonder why you weren’t more forthcoming.
While talking to your creative friends about podcasting, help them understand the time and effort it will take them to new skills necessary to be creative in a new medium.
When your super-smart friends ask, let them know how different podcasting is from other ways they express their knowledge, and that just because you make podcasting look easy; it’s not.
We owe it to the people in our lives to be every bit as honest as we are encouraging. Because nothing sours a working relationship or friendship like missed expectations.

Mentioned in this episode:
Support For Abortion Rights
While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.
Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:
1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.
We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
