On How Podcasters Will Evolve in 2026: Intrinsic Resilience

You may have noticed that the world around us is starting to change. Economically, socially… there’s terms being thrown around like Enshittification and Late-Stage Capitalism. They all point at a paradigm shift that’s coming soon that we need to prepare for.

Podcasting is not immune from this potential shift, and the podcasters like you and I that love the medium will have to change. But its resilience to change and strength of adaptation that will see us through the hard times, and build an unshakeable foundation to support our podcasting efforts.

Today I’ll be talking about The Resilient Podcaster: what I believe is the next stage of evolution for podcasters.

So much of the podcasting world has changed in such a short time, and there’s a lot of uncertainty with what comes next. Keeping up with growth hacks and strategies will see you through the short-term, but there’s only so long that you can hack your way to a sustainable creation journey.

I’ll be sharing a brief reflection on this evolution that I believe podcasters will be making next year, and how I intend to help other podcasters become Resilient. This will also be the last episode of 2025, after which I’ll be taking a small break and coming back next year but listen to this episode to find out what to expect from me in 2026.
