  • 200 | Podcasting Saved Me: From Love to Loss and Finding My Voice Again
    2025/05/05
    In this special 200th episode of Podtastic Audio, I’m taking off the headphones and getting real with you. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked as a gasoline tanker truck driver—and for the past several years, I’ve also been behind the mic as an indie podcaster, podcast editor, and podcast coach. But this episode isn’t about audio tips or gear recommendations. It’s about why I podcast in the first place. This is my most personal episode yet. I’m sharing the full story of how I went from being a long-haul listener to launching The Kris and Kristine Show with my wife, how that podcast helped build a relationship—and how the end of both the show and the marriage left me rebuilding everything from scratch. Through heartbreak, divorce, and the chaos of starting over, podcasting became more than just a creative outlet—it became my lifeline. I talk openly about navigating the collapse of a relationship, the decline of our podcast, and what it’s like to lose your co-host and your best friend all at once. But I didn’t stop. I kept creating. In this episode, I also introduce my new podcast project, Everyone’s a Bot, a short-form social media comedy podcast that helps me laugh through the absurdity of online life. Whether you're new to podcasting, deep into your own indie podcast journey, or just need to hear a real story about resilience and rediscovery, this one’s for you. 🎧 In this episode, I talk about: Why I started podcasting in the first placeHow The Kris and Kristine Show came to life (and how it ended)The reality of podcasting with your partnerHow Podtastic Audio was born to help other podcasters improveThe emotional toll of divorce and rebuilding my lifeLaunching Everyone’s a Bot—a new creative outlet for fun and healingWhy podcasting still means everything to me Thanks for listening, and thank you for helping me reach 200 episodes.

    Imagine spending years building your podcast — and then losing it all because you trusted the wrong platform. Sounds crazy, but it happens way more often than you think.

    In this episode of Podtastic Audio, I'm diving into why it’s so important to own your content and back up your podcast before something unexpected happens. I’ll walk you through real stories, my own experience with podcast backups, and the exact steps you need to take today to make sure your show sticks around for generations.

    We’re talking about:

    • Why you can’t rely on Spotify, YouTube, or Facebook to protect your content
    • How to properly download and store your MP3s
    • The surprisingly easy way to save your RSS feed (yes, the one that looks like a bunch of crazy code)
    • Best practices for organizing your podcast backups without making a giant mess
    • How I personally backed up my very first podcast — and why you should too

    ⚡ Pro Tip: Backing up your show today is a whole lot easier than trying to rebuild it from scratch tomorrow. Don’t leave your hard work to chance.

  • 198 | Overcoming Mic Shyness: How to Sound More Confident on Your Podcast
    2025/04/21

    Ever feel like your mic knows you're nervous before you even hit record? Been there. In this episode of Podtastic Audio, we’re diving deep into something every podcaster faces but rarely talks about—mic shyness and how to sound more confident behind the mic.

    Whether you're brand new to podcasting or you're still not feeling 100% after a few episodes, this one’s for you. I’ll share real talk from my early days fumbling through solo episodes, plus the 6 powerful tips I use to sound more confident and natural on the mic.

    🎙️ You’ll learn:

    • Why confidence isn’t something you’re born with (and how to build it)
    • How nerves can ruin your delivery—and how to fix it fast
    • Simple ways to warm up your voice and loosen up before you record
    • Why scripting your intro (even just a little) can change everything
    • The mindset shift that puts your listener first
    • And yes—how smiling while talking can make a huge difference

    If you’re an indie or hobby podcaster trying to improve your solo episodes, this is the confidence boost you’ve been looking for. Let's turn that nervous energy into great content your audience actually connects with.

    👊 Grab my new book Podtastic Playbook and other podcasting resources at PodtasticAudio.com. 🎯 It's time to podcast with confidence — and sound like the pro you’re becoming.
