Happy Friday!

This week, I’m thinking about Anna Donaghey, host of , and , The Coaching Hub Podcast, who are now in the top 2% of podcasters globally. Anna has just hit another amazing milestone: 200,000 downloads.

These numbers represent thousands of people choosing, week after week, to spend time with someone they trust.

There is a reason the people building the most significant personal brands and businesses right now all have a podcast. It is a brilliant way to build your authority.

Social media reach is harder to come by than ever. Algorithms decide who sees your content, and attention is increasingly hard to get.

A podcast sits outside all of that; it is a direct and powerful way to reach an audience that has actively chosen to listen to you, in their own time, episode after episode.

I spent over twenty years in broadcast journalism. I watched audiences form around voices people trusted. Podcasting is the closest thing the digital world has to that intimacy.

The thought leaders investing in podcasting now are building something algorithms can never take away: evergreen content that can be found in search and AI search.

If launching your podcast this autumn has been on your mind, the time to get started is now.

🎙️ Keeping your content creative in 2026

In 2026, content moves fast. Podcasts, video content, newsletters, LinkedIn posts, TikToks, YouTube clips — audiences are constantly consuming ideas from everywhere.

That’s why staying creative means looking beyond your own industry.

Yes, your expertise matters. But some of the best podcast ideas, video concepts, and content strategies often come from outside your usual bubble. Reading, listening, and learning about different subjects helps you spot trends earlier, think differently, and create content that feels fresh instead of repetitive.

The most engaging podcasts and brands in 2026 aren’t just informative, they’re interesting, human, and creative.

Whether it’s storytelling styles from documentaries, editing trends from YouTube creators, or audience engagement tactics from social media, inspiration can come from anywhere.

The creators standing out right now are the ones paying attention to the wider world and bringing those ideas back into their own content.

If you’d like help with your content strategy or creating podcast or video content that feels modern, creative, and relevant to today’s audiences, send me a message.

Why engaging podcast content matters

With more podcasts, video shows, and short-form content competing for attention than ever before, creating content that genuinely connects with your audience is essential.

Great podcast content doesn’t just attract listeners, it keeps them coming back for more. When your episodes are engaging, valuable, and consistent, your audience is far more likely to subscribe, share your show, leave reviews, and become loyal supporters of your brand.

In 2026, podcasting is no longer just audio. Video podcast content is now a huge part of growing a show across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok. Creating video clips, full video episodes, and social content alongside your podcast helps you reach new audiences and increase visibility far beyond traditional podcast apps.

Engaging content also opens up more opportunities for partnerships, sponsorships, and business growth, helping your podcast become a real asset for your brand or business.

By investing in high-quality podcast and video content, you give yourself the best chance to stand out in a crowded online world and build a show people genuinely want to follow.

Want to grow your audience beyond social media?

One of the most powerful and underused strategies is cross-promotion. Guest appearances on other podcasts put you in front of listeners who are already primed for exactly what you offer. Whether it's interviews, joint episodes, or promotional swaps, collaborating with fellow podcasters is one of the fastest ways to expand your reach and tap into new audiences.

Women and men have been sitting in circles for thousands of years, sharing knowledge and connecting with each other. These circles fulfill an innate need for human connection, especially for women going through significant life changes.

There is a reason why there is a resurgence in women choosing to gather. Not only do they help us to connect with our own cyclical nature but they also encourage creative and powerful expression.

There’s no denying that the world we live in can make it difficult to tap into our creativity and spirituality. We’re bombarded with messages that prioritise productivity and efficiency over personal expression and connection.

Which is why it is so important to create circles in a safe space and set boundaries to ensure confidentiality and comfort for participants. It’s crucial to feel safe in the circle and trust the facilitator holding it.

I hold Creatrix writing circles to encourage us all to connect to our inner guidance, share our stories, and come together in community, so we can tap into a deep well of creativity and wisdom that is infinite.

Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose Your Content

Say you did a live stream that went down a storm with users – why not share it again as a series of bite-size Instagram reels or upload it to Youtube.

You could even embed it into a more detailed blog post.

When good content has hit the spot with users, it’s important to recognise that and give the people more of what they want.

However, be wary of just pushing out content for the sake of it, as users will be quick to sniff this out – make sure the content you’re repurposing is genuinely useful in its own right.

Overcoming the Visibility Challenge

Many purpose-led businesses struggle to stand out online. The temptation is to spend time on social media posting and commenting, but algorithms change constantly, and even great content can get lost in the noise.

Podcasting offers a powerful way to build visibility, trust, and genuine connection with the right audience.

• Niche down
The more specific your podcast topic, the easier it is to attract listeners who truly care about what you do. Speaking directly to a focused audience builds stronger engagement and creates a community around your message.

• Collaborate with aligned voices
Invite guests who share your values or serve a similar audience. Podcast collaborations naturally expand your reach and introduce your brand to new listeners in an authentic way by sharing the episode with their audience.

• Build trust through authenticity
Audio and video create a level of connection that other platforms often can’t. People hear and see your personality, passion, and energy. Helping build trust far faster than polished marketing alone.

• Repurpose your content
One podcast episode can become short-form video clips, social posts, newsletters, blog content, and email campaigns — helping you stay visible across multiple platforms without constantly creating content from scratch.

Podcasting isn’t just content marketing anymore; it’s community building.

Lights, camera, action!

The More Than Sales podcast is live!

We loved working with Enfys Maloney on one of our VIP days recording the very first episodes of her podcast.

From the Netflix-style camera setup and the knowledge shared throughout the day, everything about this shoot was quality and this is only the start.

If you’re into honest conversations around sales, business, and growth, make sure you tune in.

You can watch on YouTube (search for More Than Sales) or listen wherever you get your podcasts and don’t forget to subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode.

Can you hear the beat of the drum calling you?

Our ancestors knew the power of the drum
Matching the rhythm of our heart

We drum to unite and feel the earth beneath our feet
We drum to connect in community
The ancient ways are calling us home
The moon is high in the sky as we drum under dark skies

We circle as sisters round the fire
We circle to share the wisdom of old
We circle to be present
We circle to share the words that need to be said
We circle as sisters to witness the truth

Join us for The Call of the Drum, a monthly, community-led shamanic drumming circle in Marlow Bottom.

Marlow Bottom Village Hall, Tuesday 2nd of June, 7.30– 8.30 pm
