#InternationalPodcastDay 2025. We joined up with Arielle Nissenblatt (EarBuds Podcast Collective.) You submitted the audio, & a shirt was born! From English “um” & “uh” to Hindi “are vo” (अरे वो), filler words aren’t just pauses - they're the moments that make us human. Your “um.” Now wearable.

@certifiedcrucial.bsky.social has been busy! Just a few of the collectibles we recently released. Check out our shops (link in bio), and support local creators! #certifiedcrucial #podcastmerch #supporthandmade #supportsmall

I cannot understate to you how fucking incredible and weird it is for the D&D show I wanted to start in 2016 because it seemed cool and fun to now have an original episode that I created printed on a vinyl that we hired artists to design holy hell

My birthday gift to myself arrived a couple days early!! @jointhepartypod.com @juliaschifini.bsky.social @amandamc.bsky.social (I share a birthday with the greatest GM in Podcasting @ericsilver.bsky.social , which is pretty darn cool if you ask me)

The vinyl turned out very cool!

LET'S GO RON!!! Weight For It is an incredible show, and Ron Young Jr. deserves all the flowers! #theambies

@lasculturistas.bsky.social are cultural icons and mut be protected at all costs! #theambies

The Twitch chat is OBSESSED with Caroline! #theambies

"Tales of Fists and Fireballs" is the story of the time I got in a fist fight at a yacht rock show after too many shots of cinnamon liquor. #theambies

Seriously, join The Podcast Academy if you haven't already. Great resources for a growing community that needs our support! #theambies thepodcastacademy.com

IT'S STEVE AND ARIELLE (AND FALLON BUT I DON'T KNOW FALLON BUT I'M SURE YOU'RE AWESOME)! #theambies

Girl v. Horse apparently isn't a podcast about fighting horses. #theambies

John Cryer ducked that selfie like he was in witness protection #theambies

Clap #theambies

I'm pretty sure there's a Ratatouille under that guy's hat #theambies

John Cryer's Breaking Bad cosplay is *chef's kiss #theambies

Take a drink every time Tig says "Throuple" #theambies

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!

Ira Glass has a voice that massages my brain in a very specific (and only mildly inappropriate) way.

It's probably good we aren't at the ceremony, because @michaelbickett.bsky.social would have hunted down @tignotaro.bsky.social to ask her questions about Star Trek Discovery like he's Chris Farley doing an SNL interview sketch. "Remember in ep 8 when you said that sarcastic thing? That was cool"

Yay, congrats "How I Built This" on the Ambies win!

The best unexpected part of the Ambies so far is the Twitch chat on the screen with like 10 users typing a monotone "Clap" everytime someone wins. #theambies #theambies2025

We will be live-skeeting (I still can't believe we're calling it that) the @podcastacademy.bsky.social Ambies tonight! Watch with us on Twitch!

A bot just signed up for an account on our website with an with "hamburgers" in their email handle. I reviewed the flag, and thought "robots don't like hamburgers, so this person named bdrj5uhdr5 must be real!" Well played, robots. Well played.

Last day to preorder your Jockular Podcast shirt! certifiedcrucial.com/jockular-shop/ #jockular #jockularpodcast #podcastmerch #certifiedcrucial

Pre-sell + bulk buy = built-in coupon for your bottom line.

I'll be appearing on "Let's Blow This Up" to talk about direct podcast monetization and community building (with a few bad puns sprinkled in for good measure). Watch us live! #podcasting #podcaster #podcastmonetization #podcastmerch

Your audience saw your pre-order post. Then they saw a dog meme. Guess which one they remember? (Hint: It’s not your pre-order.) People need to hear about something at least 7 times before they take action. That’s the Rule of 7, and it applies to pre-orders, too. 🚀 Enter: The Hype Cycle 🚀

This has been a very fun project! EVs for Everyone Podcast have been so lovely, & we're excited to help bring Eddy the Yeti to life! Eddy comemorates "snowmageddon" during the NADA show in New Orleans. Get SNOLA merch while it lasts! evs4everyone.com/shop/ #evsforeveryone #snola #nada #nadashow

I'm curious how much energy people will put into content on an app that has already been banned once. If TikTok comes back, will your social outreach strategy rely on the platform as much as before the ban? #tiktokban #tiktok

RIP TikTok. Hopefully, all the amazing creators and their fans find themselves a new home on another app. If any creators wanna make back some of the income lost on TikTok, think about glowing-up your merch game! We can help. #tiktokban #tiktokdown

Podcast idea: 20 Questions with my Cat Ep 1 - Who's the cutest baby? Ep 2 - Is it zoomie time? Ep 3 - WHY ARE YOU BITING MY LEG YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLIN!? Ep 4 - Why are you the cutest baby? #catdad

Podcasting is punk rock and needs to remain punk rock to stay relevant.
