Episode Description

Listener feedback is one of my favorite things to receive as a podcaster and I've been learning a lot from the comments and insights I have gotten already. It tells me that something landed, that someone felt less alone, or that a simple idea sparked something new. This episode is a collection of exactly that! 

For the Summer 2026 mailbag, I'm reading through comments and messages I've received from fellow podcasters on a few recent episodes. Some of these voices have been at this for 16 years and nearly 1,000 episodes. Others just started this year. A few of them are even clients of ours that we get the opportunity to work with, and all of them have something worth hearing.

We're covering feedback from episodes on finding your podcasting anchor, making summer work for your show, and strategies for solo hosts who get stuck. The perspectives don't always agree with each other, and I think that's actually the point that I try to make here about there being no "rules" that you have to stick to as a podcaster.

If something one of these hosts says resonates with you, I hope you'll check out their show and reach out to tell them so (the links to everyone I mentioned are below). 

And if you've got feedback on any past or upcoming episode, I'd love to include you in a future mailbag. You can find me on social media or send a note to matt@podassist.com.

Remember:  it's YOUR show and there are NO RULES!
