Not all zebras are created equal. In this episode, JC and Lina dive into the beautifully chaotic world of podcast production—where clients dream of unicorns, show up with painted donkeys, and somehow we still deliver magic.

Through hilarious analogies (yes, we’re talking about zebra donkeys in Tijuana), real-world client stories, and behind-the-scenes moments, they break down how podcasts are more than just content—they’re full-on marketing tools.

From branding breakdowns to music beds and show formats, this episode is a goldmine for anyone thinking about launching a show—or wondering why their three-episode meteorologist podcast didn’t go viral.

It’s smart, it’s silly, and it’s the real talk you didn’t know you needed.
