AI for Podcasters in 2026: The Right Way to Use AI Without Losing Your Voice
2/26/2026
AI for podcasters is everywhere in 2026.
But faster does not automatically mean better.
In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona breaks down the right way to use AI in your podcast workflow without sacrificing originality, emotional nuance, or trust with your audience.
AI can help you move faster. It can help you outline episodes, generate show notes, draft captions, pull timestamps, and simplify editing. But when you let AI lead your thought leadership, storytelling, or point of view, your show becomes generic. And generic podcasts do not grow.
This episode walks you through where AI fits into a modern podcast strategy, where it should never lead, and how to protect the one thing that makes your show scalable in 2026, your voice.
If you are building a podcast this year and wondering how to balance efficiency with authenticity, this is your roadmap.

How to Grow a Podcast in 2026 From Scratch (What I’d Do Differently)
2/19/2026
How do you grow a podcast in 2026 when you have no team, no momentum, and no audience?
If I had to start from zero today, I would not try to do more. I would not try to be everywhere. And I definitely would not chase algorithms.
In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, I walk you through exactly how to grow a podcast in 2026 from scratch and what I would do differently if I were rebuilding everything from the ground up.
This is not about hacks. It is not about volume. It is not about posting more.
It is about clarity, sustainability, and making your podcast easy to find, easy to follow, and easy to stick with.
You will learn how to choose the right primary platform, simplify your production stack, define your audience with precision, structure episodes around one clear promise, batch for consistency, create repeatable formats, and use real listener data to guide smarter decisions.
If your podcast feels scattered, fragile, or harder than it should be, this episode will help you rebuild it with intention.
Because the podcasts that grow in 2026 will not be the loudest. They will be the clearest.

Your Podcast Is NOT the Product (And That’s Why It’s Not Growing)
2/12/2026
Why is my podcast not growing in 2026?
Most creators think they need better promotion, more episodes, or more content. The real issue is structural. Your podcast is not the product, and treating it like one is quietly stalling your growth.
If your podcast is the only thing you’re building, your growth will always feel fragile.
Most creators are trying to grow downloads, followers, and subscribers. But they’re building their podcast like it’s the final product instead of what it actually is: the front door to everything else they do.
In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini breaks down the biggest mindset shift in podcast growth for 2026. Your show is not the business. It’s the introduction to your thinking. It shapes belief. It builds trust. It opens the relationship.
And when you treat it like the end goal instead of the ecosystem entry point, growth stalls.
You’ll learn why trust always precedes conversion, how episodes build authority over time, and why the real value of your podcast happens after the listen. This episode also covers why owning your audience matters more than chasing algorithms, how clear call to actions increase momentum, and why strategy will always beat volume.
If your podcast feels stuck, this conversation will help you rebuild it as an asset instead of a fragile content stream.
This is about building something that compounds.

Should You Start a Video Podcast? What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why Audio Still Wins
2/5/2026
Video podcasting is everywhere, but most creators are adding video without understanding what problem it actually solves.
In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini breaks down when video actually helps your podcast grow, when it quietly hurts your momentum, and why audio still does the heavy lifting when it comes to trust, retention, and long-term loyalty.
This episode dismantles the myth that every podcast must be video-first. You’ll learn why video is a distribution strategy, not a requirement, how YouTube really evaluates content, and why clarity, structure, and consistency matter more than flashy visuals. Simona explains how bad video can stall growth faster than no video at all, why audio completion rates remain higher, and how your voice is the true relationship-builder behind every successful show.
If you’ve been feeling pressure to add video, questioning whether it’s worth the effort, or wondering how to grow without burning out, this episode will help you choose a format that supports your voice instead of draining it.
This is a grounded, strategic take on podcast growth in 2026, built for creators who want sustainability, not resentment.

Stop Posting, Start Ranking, How I’d Grow a Podcast From 0 to 1,000 Downloads in 2026
1/29/2026
Growing a podcast in 2026 has nothing to do with posting everywhere or chasing virality. It has everything to do with being findable, useful, and sticky.
In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini breaks down exactly how she would grow a podcast from zero to 1,000 downloads today, without burning out or flooding social media. This episode is a practical roadmap for creators who want sustainable, search-driven growth instead of short-lived spikes.
You’ll learn why discoverability beats marketing, how to choose topics people are actively searching for, and how to structure episodes so platforms understand your show and listeners stay longer. Simona explains how clarity builds authority faster than variety, why retention matters more than reach, and how your back catalog becomes the engine that compounds growth over time.
If your podcast feels invisible, inconsistent, or stuck, this episode will help you diagnose what’s really holding it back and show you how to fix it.

How to Grow a Podcast in 2026, Why Discoverability Beats Marketing
1/22/2026
How to grow a podcast in 2026 isn’t about posting everywhere or marketing harder. It’s about podcast discoverability, building a show that platforms can understand and listeners can find through search.
In this solo episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini explains why discoverability beats marketing in 2026, and how to grow a podcast organically by improving the parts most creators ignore: podcast titles for search, the first two lines of your episode description, consistent topic signals, and a simple SEO approach that helps Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube categorize your content correctly.
If your podcast isn’t growing, this episode will help you diagnose the real issue. You’ll learn how to stop publishing episodes that disappear, how to write searchable episode titles (not “Episode 5 with Dan”), how to choose one main keyword per episode, and how to structure episodes to increase retention, because listen time and watch time fuel discoverability.

How I’d Launch a Podcast in 2026 If I Had to Start Over (Zero Audience, Zero Momentum, No Shortcuts)
1/15/2026
If you had to launch a podcast in 2026 with zero audience, zero momentum, and no shortcuts, you wouldn’t start with fancy gear or “clever” branding. You’d start with being found.
In this solo episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona Costantini breaks down exactly how she’d launch from scratch today, using what actually works now: search-first episode design, a trailer plus a 3-episode drop, content buckets that help platforms categorize you, and a distribution workflow built before you ever hit publish.
You’ll learn how to write titles that match what people are already searching, how to craft a keyword-rich show description that makes it instantly clear who the show is for (and why they should care), and how to build an ecosystem where every episode becomes YouTube content, clips, email, and a repeatable publishing checklist.
The goal is simple, and it’s the whole thesis of this episode: growth stops feeling like a grind when your podcast is designed to be discovered.
