Your Podcast Consultant: Podcast Tips To Avoid Podcasting Mistakes

How to Lose the Producer but Keep the Friendship


Listen Later

Ever had that moment when your best buddy decides they want to jump on the podcast train with you? Yeah, it's all fun and games until you realize they might just be the anchor dragging you down.

In this episode, we look at how to keep that precious friendship intact while navigating the choppy waters of collaboration. I share some painfully relatable stories about working with friends, like that time they left a stable job for a shiny new opportunity that turned out to be a total flop.

The conversation gets real as we explore the fine line between friendship and business. We dish out some tough love on how to set expectations upfront—because let’s be honest, no one wants to be that person who shows up to record without their gear or forgets to silence their phone (seriously, how hard is that?).

By the end of this episode, we hope to arm you with the knowledge to turn your podcasting venture with friends into a thriving success—or at least a tolerable mess. With a little clarity and some awkward but necessary conversations, you might just save your podcast and your friendship. So grab your mic and let’s get this show on the road, sans the drama!

Takeaways:

  • Having a friend help you with your podcast can be a slippery slope, so tread carefully.
  • If you're going to work with friends, it's almost like a podcast prenup is necessary.
  • Clear expectations are key to avoid awkwardness and potential friendship ruin.
  • When friends become co-hosts, prepare for a potential friendship breakup or awkwardness.
  • Sometimes, friends don't hold up their end of the deal, and it gets messy.
  • Having a list of duties can save your podcast and your friendship from disaster.
