Then, I’m sharing how my own podcast kept rolling while I was off the grid in Spain—no mic, no prep, just community showing up (and how you can build that too). Plus, we’ve got the call for speakers at the 2025 Empowered Podcasting Conference—so if you’ve got a message and a mic, this is your moment. And of course, your weekday wake-up call continues: check out the latest episodes of Podcasting Morning Chat for strategy, stories, and a shot of creativity to jump-start your day.

🧠 Rewriting the Conversation: Dominic Lawson’s Bold New Podcast on Mental Health

You already know I’m a huge believer in the power of podcasting to connect, challenge, and heal. So when I say you must stop what you’re doing and check out Dominic Lawson’s new podcast, Mental Health: Rewritten, I mean it.

Dominic is no stranger around here; he’s a regular guest host in our Podcasting Morning Chat and a true anchor in our community. He’s also someone who understands that podcasting is more than downloads and reach. It’s about responsibility. And this new project? It’s a masterclass in showing up for your audience with empathy, honesty, and purpose.

Mental Health: Rewritten isn’t afraid to name the hard things. Dominic doesn’t hide behind coded language or euphemisms. He calls it what it is. Suicide, sexual assault, trauma, and creates space for real healing by being real first. With a balance of storytelling, clinical insight, and vulnerability, this podcast tackles stigmatized and taboo topics with grace and intention. In fact, he’s collaborated with some of our own PMC regulars (like Dan Woerheide) to go deep into conversations many people avoid altogether.

He’s doing what so many of us talk about; using the mic not just to inform, but to serve. This show is a lifeline for listeners who may not have a “person” to lean on. Through every episode, Dominic is that person. And if you’ve ever sat in a room with him, you know exactly what I mean.

Dominic, we’re so proud of you, and we know this is another award-winning project. 

Let’s work together to amplify the kind of podcasting that doesn’t just entertain, but truly matters. Tune in. Subscribe. Share.

🏝️ My Podcast Ran Without Me — Here’s How I Did It

Can your podcast keep going…without you?

Mine did.
And not by accident.

I just took two weeks off for a long-overdue trip to Madrid and Portugal. No mic, no laptop, no show prep. But the Podcasting Morning Chat? It didn’t miss a beat.

🎙️ Community members stepped up and hosted.
🎙️ Teammates ran production.
🎙️ Listeners stayed engaged.

That’s not luck. That’s community.

And if you’re still trying to “grow your audience” instead of building a community… let me lovingly say this: You might be playing the wrong game.

See, an audience listens.
But a community leads, creates, and shows up…even when you’re not around.

So how’d I go from downloads to dedication?

👉 I follow up personally with community members. I treat them like humans, not stats.
👉 I share my own challenges on the mic. Vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s the bridge.
👉 I engage off the podcast in comments, group chats, private messages, and live streams.

When your people feel like they’re part of something, they’re not just waiting for your next episode…they’re helping you build it.

Last Monday on the Podcasting Morning Chat, we unpacked this shift from audience to community and why it matters more than ever in a world of AI clips, SEO stuffing, and short attention spans.

So tell me this:
What’s one thing you’ve done to build real community around your podcast?

Hit reply. I really want to know.
