Are the “rules” of podcasting helping you or holding you back? Today, we challenge some of the biggest myths in podcasting and break down whether they’re worth following—or just fear-based tactics. I'm joined today by PMC co-host and podcast producer Matthew Bliss to dive into topics like AI tools, SEO myths, audience engagement, and why questioning the status quo could be the key to podcasting success.
