There was no Spotify, no Apple Podcasts app, no YouTube to fall back on. You published an XML file and hoped somebody&#8217;s aggregator picked it up. Most people I told about it assumed it was a phase.<\/p>\n        <p>Twenty-two years later I&#8217;m still at it, and the one thing I know for certain is that the gear was never the hard part. Plenty of shows sound great and nobody hears them. The hard part is knowing exactly who you&#8217;re talking to and giving them a reason to come back next week.<\/p>\n        <p>These days I run Fresh Media Works out of the Texas Gulf Coast: podcast production and AI marketing for nonprofits, school districts, and businesses that have something worth saying and no idea how to say it into a microphone. I&#8217;ve written eight books with two more on the way, I cover Texas high school football like it&#8217;s a full time job, and I keep more side projects running than my family thinks is reasonable.<\/p>\n        <p>If you&#8217;re trying to start a show, or you started one and it stalled out around episode nine, I&#8217;ve probably already made the mistake you&#8217;re about to make.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <hr class=\"rule\">\n\n  <!-- ===================== SHOWS ===================== -->\n  <section id=\"shows\">\n    <div class=\"wrap\">\n      <div class=\"sec-head reveal\">\n        <p class=\"eyebrow\">02 &nbsp;\/&nbsp; On the air<\/p>\n        <h2>Shows I host<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"body-muted\">Nine shows where I am the host or co-host.
