Every few months, the podcasting world buzzes with a new “must-do” trend. I know, you’ve seen them too.

Not long ago, I scrolled past a post saying something along the lines of Podcasting today isn’t what it was 10 years ago. Don’t take advice from people doing it the old-fashioned way.

Ouch.

Well, the person was selling a shiny YouTube podcast optimisation package, so… yeah, I rolled my eyes and kept scrolling.

But it got me thinking.

Am I irrelevant if I don’t follow every new trend? Am I just stubborn? A late adopter? Out of touch?

Maybe. But I still do things my way.

And that has kept me not just relevant, but aligned.

Because I don’t ignore the industry. I read the research. I test new tools. I get excited about what’s emerging. But I’ve also learned to mute the 'should's' and focus on what actually feels right for me, my podcast, my business.

That’s what this week’s episode is about: 3 podcasting trends I don’t follow. Not because they’re bad. But because they don’t fit me (and maybe they won’t fit you either).

This episode is your gentle reminder that relevance doesn’t come from chasing every shiny thing. It comes from learning how to hear your own voice in all the noise.
