Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters! 

Our team is back from Orlando and had a blast seeing so many of you at Podfest last week! 

The meetup was definitely a highlight of the conference for me. It is so encouraging getting to talk face-to-face, hear what you’re building, and get to know the people behind the podcasts!

It reminds me that podcasting is about a lot more than just download numbers. And that mindset shows up all over this week’s episode of Buzzcast. 

​In this episode, the team talked about what healthy, realistic podcasting goals actually look like and asked listeners to share what success would mean for them in 2026.

Spoiler alert: it's not just numbers!

Instead, podcasters talked about consistency, letting go of perfection, building skills, engaging listeners, and slowly working toward monetization in a way that feels sustainable.

Alban, Jordan, and Kevin also do a quick check-in on Apple’s new Creator Studio announcement, along with some thoughts on how creator tools are evolving.

If Podfest left you feeling motivated and a little reflective about where your show is headed, this is the perfect episode for you!
