2021 was known for mass quitting and hiring, within many fields and industries and podcasting is no different. We discuss some host changes within popular podcasts, hosts quitting, and available jobs within the podcasting industry in what is known as the Great Resignation. Todd is out this week and will be back shortly; big thanks to Toby for starting us off this year with a pro tip focused on first impressions.

Question(s) of the Week
Question: Should I be posting my new podcasts as “Posts or Pages” in WordPress?
Answer: Posts. Pages are for more static content like About pages, welcome pages, pages you use for reference and that kind of thing. Not so much for ongoing dynamic content like podcasts or blog posts. Plus, Pages are never included in the RSS feed. You could (but it’s more complicated) use a Custom post type, but that is too much to go into on a podcast 🙂
