Long Version ~60 sec
↑ CalendarI want to tell you about something I’m genuinely excited for: Drop the Mic: Podcasting While the World Is on Fire, a two-day online UnSummit from the Feminist Podcasters Collective, happening September 29 and 30.
This isn’t “10 secrets to success” from someone with a team of 20 and a book deal. It’s real talk from indie podcasters who are actually doing the work — building community, growing a show without selling their soul to the algorithm, staying sane while doing it. Two live sessions each day, plus breakout time to actually meet other podcast hosts, which honestly might be my favorite part.
General admission is $10 and gets you live access plus replays. There’s also a $90 all-access pass if you want lifetime replays and a stack of bonus resources worth $1,200+ — things like a podcast repurposing toolkit and a burnout-proof strategy workbook.
I’m an affiliate for this one, which means I earn a small commission if you register through my link — it’ll be in the show notes. Go check out Drop the Mic. I think you’ll be glad you did.

Drop the Mic: Podcasting While the World Is on Fire is one month away — September 29–30, 100% online.

↑ CalendarSubject: Why I’m showing up for this oneHey [First Name],
I don’t promote a lot of events, but I’m making an exception for Drop the Mic: Podcasting While the World Is on Fire.
Here’s why: most podcasting advice assumes you have a team, a budget, and the emotional bandwidth to hustle nonstop. This event doesn’t. It’s indie podcasters talking honestly about community, marketing, and sustainability — the stuff that actually matters when you’re doing this alone, with everything else going on.
It’s September 29–30, online, $10 to get in. I’ll be there. I hope you will too.
