Don’t make another B2B interview podcast.

There are too many. Instead, do this.


99% of marketers are making undifferentiated shows, and are lost in a sea of sameness.

They copy what they see out there already and assume interview shows are simple to execute and will deliver the results they’re looking for.

I call this the Interview Illusion.

Because it’s actually way harder than it looks to make a good interview show and be a skilled host.

And it’s actually way harder to stand out and get anyone to care about your show.

Which gets crappy results.

But they’re under this false impression that to do anything else, any other kind of show, would be too hard and too risky.

Its the Format Fallacy.

But making a more creative show doesn’t have to be so hard or intimidating.

With the right systems and structure, any marketer can make something more creative than “two experts talking”.

And the good news is that when you do - getting the results you’re looking for becomes SO much easier.

Audiences lean in, they stick around, they share, they take action.

I talked about this - and my cows - today at the MarketingProfs #MPB2B conference in Boston.

Awesome event, so well run and programmed (they let me slip through the net though, luckily!).

Brands are preparing now for their 2026 podcast plans.

6 things to consider to get ahead with your show before the holidays:

December can be challenging in some ways, but full of opportunity in others. Here are some ideas based on what's worked for our clients in the past.

1. January is a great time to launch a new show or season

The holidays are a notoriously challenging time to put a new podcast out. But January is amazing.

People are back from their holidays with their goals and aspirations for the year in place, and are actively looking for new content to help them achieve those goals. Start the year strong before your competition does.

2. Plan your and produce your holiday content now

It's a bad time to start a new show, but for existing podcasts it's a great time to hit your followers on their journeys back home or in the down time between basting turkeys.

But so often we plan too late and cobble together our December content in a panic.

Instead, think now about what your year end episodes should be:
- Year wraps
- 2026 predictions
- Highlight reels and "best of" segments
- 2025 trends and takeaways

Last Christmas, my Mum gave me socks (love you Mum, but come on).

Don't be like Mum. Whatever your strategy for Christmas content, don't make it an afterthought and underwhelm your audience.

3. Bank your interviews

January is a challenging time to get busy people booked for podcasts. But as December slows, it's a perfect moment to lock them in.

Send your invites now and get a ton of content in the can to start the new year strong.

4. Promote your show

Without new shows coming out, there's less content competing for listeners' attention. Now is a great time to run promotion campaigns to get your show in front of the people who need to hear it and be subscribed ready for your 2026 slate.

-> Run PR campaigns
-> Pitch app editorial teams (Apple, Spotify, etc) for holiday features
-> Run cross-promos with other podcasts
-> Invest in paid campaigns

While the competition is slowing down and getting quiet, be noisy and collect listeners looking for new shows.

5. Do your audience research

Nothing will help your 2026 content strategy more than speaking to your audience, and now is a perfect moment.

Things are slow, people have time. Run your surveys or, ideally, 1-to-1 listener interviews to test your ideas and find new ones.

If you want your show to stand out and find an audience next year, you need to truly know your listeners.

6. Run competitions

Everyone loves a Christmas gift. As employees slow down over the next few weeks, giveaways are a great way to engage with your audience.

Competitions help with engagement, loyalty, lead gen, and it's a good way to spur some organic growth for the show.


Need help? Let me know. We're locking in discounts for brands pre-paying for next year.

I'm a fan of video in podcasting. But you don't need it.

Here's what I mean.

All the talk in podcasting right now is video.

YouTube and Spotify video, even Netflix are huge opportunities, I get it.

But I worry...

Pivoting to video could push some brands to make worse shows. All just to ride the algorithm.

FOMO, or a desire to make content for all your channels at once, can supersede quality and making the best show for your particular audience.

When people think of podcasts on YouTube they often think of chat shows and interviews. It's hard (and expensive!) to turn a creative audio format like a documentary into a video show.

So the natural instinct is to make what already works on video: 2 people talking.

These can be great - I listen to lots myself - but for many brands there are better ways to serve your audience.

When you ignore video for a moment, you can focus on narrative storytelling. Really creative formats and show concepts that hook listeners, things they've never heard before and will remember.

There's still so much that has never been done in podcasting to experiment with, and so many formats that perform amazingly in audio that brands ignore in pursuit of The Algorithm.

You can create true fans in a way it can be tougher to do with *another* standard interview show.

I'm not saying YOU should ignore video. It might be your best opportunity.

I'm saying you don't NEED it either.

Doubling down on really good audio is often the better strategy.

Focusing on the right audience, not the biggest.

Building a community of diehards.

There's no universal answer as to whether you should make a video podcast or not. And video isn't destroying podcasting as some people fear.

But our reaction to it could.

What do you think?

Content marketers are all talking about video podcasts. Very few are getting more than a couple hundred views on YouTube.
We've worked out an approach that works.

Content should be platform native. The expectations of a user on YouTube are different on Instagram, or LinkedIn, or Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

But most marketers just repurpose stuff from one place to another.

Podcasts that look like Zoom calls.

LinkedIn posts with boring 30s clips that get no engagement.

Your podcast is an incredible well of content that you can pull from for all your channels. But it's not just a case of copy pasting from one to another.

Don't make the user do the work. Meet them where they are and design your content for the experience they're expecting on the platform you find them.

It's not complicated, but it takes intention and effort.

A simple reworking of podcast packaging on YouTube can have an immediate impact on your reach and engagement, for example.

The results we're seeing when brands do this stuff right is huge.

My LinkedIn feed is almost entirely podcasts clips these days.
You need more visual storytelling.

If I see talking heads, I skip before I even know what it's about.

You gotta bring something fresh for me to stop scrolling now.

You're competing with so much.

You're even competing with the fact that users make assumptions about your content (and scroll by) purely based on pattern matching it with stuff they've seen 1000 times.

I’m way more likely to accept a blank connection request than a generic “I’m looking to expand my network” cut-and-paste.

At least if there’s no message, you assume that the person specially chose to connect with you.

With a bland as hell template you know this is meaningless and they have no idea who you are.

Instant ignore.
