Welcome to the sausage factory! 🍿
In this special “Between the Post” episode, Bodie and Robb pull back the curtain and let you eavesdrop on the real-time planning for Season 4 of Beyond the Post. From defining our audience to clarifying the transformation we want to offer, we're building Season 4 like a course—for intermediate content creators who are ready to level up.
We ask the big questions:

Should we focus on ad-supported podcasts or podcasts that support a business?
And wait… should we just ask our listeners what they want?
Spoiler alert: Yes, we should. And we will—with the help of our shiny new Substack.
Whether you're podcasting for passion, profit, or a bit of both, you'll find insight, laughs, and a sneak peek into how Beyond the Post gets made.
