Podcast Meetups 101

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! At nearly every conference or meetup, someone says the same thing: “I didn’t realize how much I needed to meet other podcasters.” Because most of the time, this work happens alone. But that isolation doesn’t have to be part of the job. For many creators, local podcast meetups have helped turn solo work into a shared community! This week on Buzzcast, the team sat down with Badr Milligan, host of The Short Box Podcast and co-founder of JAX Podcasters United, to explore how a small meetup in 2018 grew into a 500+ member community. He breaks down exactly how to get started, including: How to plan your first meetup (even if you’ve never hosted an event) Where to host it, and why restaurants often welcome podcast groupsHow to market it without a big budgetWhen to introduce workshops, education tracks, or even a charity elementHow to keep events free without burning out If you’ve ever wished podcasting felt more connected, this episode is for you!

Set Goals for Long-Term Success

Send a question for 'Ask Megan' Hey, Podcasters! Our team is back from Orlando and had a blast seeing so many of you at Podfest last week! The meetup was definitely a highlight of the conference for me. It is so encouraging getting to talk face-to-face, hear what you’re building, and get to know the people behind the podcasts! It reminds me that podcasting is about a lot more than just download numbers. And that mindset shows up all over this week’s episode of Buzzcast. In this episode, the team talked about what healthy, realistic podcasting goals actually look like and asked listeners to share what success would mean for them in 2026. Spoiler alert: it's not just numbers! Instead, podcasters talked about consistency, letting go of perfection, building skills, engaging listeners, and slowly working toward monetization in a way that feels sustainable. Alban, Jordan, and Kevin also do a quick check-in on Apple’s new Creator Studio announcement, along with some thoughts on how creator tools are evolving.
