    #60 Sponsorships Won't Pay Your Bills—Do This Instead with Colin Gray

    08/03/2026 | 47 mins.
    In this episode, I'm joined by Colin Gray from The Podcast Host and Alitu. With over 15 years in podcasting, Colin shares his journey from recording against his kitchen wall with a cheap digital camera to building one of the most comprehensive podcasting resources online.We dive deep into the realities of podcasting today—from why his cringeworthy "What is a Podcast?" video still gets 50,000 views a month (and why he can't delete it), to the truth about monetization that most gurus won't tell you.Colin breaks down why chasing sponsorships is usually the wrong move for independent podcasters, how to actually make money with small audiences, and why audio-only podcasts are still thriving despite the video hype.We also get technical—covering microphone recommendations that haven't changed in years, the rise of wireless recording gear, and how AI is making editing accessible to everyone through tools like Alitu.

    #59 Rob Z Wentz: From Radio DJ to Unstuck Movement – Building a Podcast with Purpose

    02/03/2026 | 51 mins.
    Former radio DJ turned business coach Rob Z Wentz joins The Podfather to share his journey from 20 years in broadcasting to founding the Unstuck Movement. We dive deep into why most podcasts fail (90% never make it past episode 10), the importance of having a clear vision from day one, and how to build authentic connections that last. Rob reveals his live podcasting workflow using StreamYard, why he ditched heavy editing for one-take authenticity, and how he balances platform growth without getting sucked into the social media validation trap. Essential listening for podcasters who want to create with purpose, not just content.

    #56 Podcast Growth: Anonymous Surveys to 10X Audience Engagement - Noah May

    21/02/2026 | 40 mins.
    Welcome to the PodFather Podcast where we help Podcasters improve their shows and also those thinking of starting a podcast

    Podfather.me Podcast - Interview with Noah May of "Lethal Venom"

    In this episode, I sit down with Noah May, the host of "Lethal Venom" podcast, to unpack how a college journalism student turned a classroom assignment into a thriving variety show with a bold, truth-telling edge.Noah shares his unconventional path to podcasting—from nearly giving up after hitting technical roadblocks, to landing a spot in Auburn University's exclusive podcasting class, to designing his own AI-assisted artwork when professional quotes broke the student budget.We dive deep into:

    Why he ditched intro music entirely (and why you might want to too)

    How anonymous Google Forms turned listeners into active participants

    The legal art of "bleeping out names" to tell explosive stories without getting sued

    His multi-platform strategy that's landed him on Spotify, Apple, Pandora, and beyond

    If you're grinding through solo production, wrestling with video vs. audio-only decisions, or trying to build community without a team—Noah's DIY approach will give you tactical ideas you can implement this week.
