| 6/4/26 | ![]() What to do When You Don't Feel Like it? | Podcasting is so much effort, you have to be on and you have to be feeling it! You're going to have days when you're not in flow. When you'd rather hide in the kitchen cupboard rather than show up to a microphone and a guest with a smile. Here's my advice on what to do when you just don't feel like it. Most podcasts go nowhere because they lack a roadmap. We take the drivers seat and get it humming, then you cruise into the future with the podcast of your dreams. Email PodcaSTAR to work with us talent@podcastar.com.au.

| 5/18/26 | ![]() Sounding Sweet | I know one of the things holding you back may be that you don't want to look and sound bad as a podcaster. I get it! No one wants that, that's mainly why they come to Newcastle Podcast Station or create a brand with PodcaSTAR but here in this episode I'm going to give you a tonne of advice on sounding great. I hope you enjoy it along the way, I tried to make it fun. Mel Sargeant :-) We'd love to create an extraordinary podcast brand for you that works.

| 5/2/26 | ![]() David McClung | I remember once having the most extraordinarily fun Christmas with Dave McClung, we worked together at Nova and week after week he won the 'Super Nova' award which was a bottle of Moet. One Christmas he cracked them out in my lounge room and we drank them with some fresh prawns, what an extraordinarily good time. David is a wonderful on air talent but he's versed in all aspects of programming and he's now a big boss over at Nova 937 in WA. Dave will entertain you and also teach you a lot. You're welcome.

| 4/17/26 | ![]() Don't Make this Podcast Mistake - Batch Recording | I think this pod might not be necessary but time after time clients are still coming to me and they record in an adhoc fashion or they record weekly to release the next week. Let me ask you this, if you had a tree, would it make sense for you to get your gardener to prune it one leaf at a time every day of the year? It doesn't make sense for you or the gardener. It's the same with podcasting, get all the insights in batching and why it's necessary in this day and age. We'd love to create an extraordinary podcast brand for you that works.

| 3/26/26 | ![]() Gaining Love and Trust from your Audience | Do you say HEY GUYS at the start of a pod? Don't. It's really important these days to get your audience to love and trust you.

| 2/27/26 | ![]() Andrew McClelland | Last time I saw Andy he was on stage doing back up for Cher! This guy is an absolute legend and an uncompromising artist. He's done stacks of TV and Radio but his heart lies in stand up, he's done acclaimed stand up shows worldwide and his heart lies in live performance. Honestly it's a little bit of shits and giggles we didn't get too serious but there is some useful chat in here about what resonates with people and the art of holding onto who you really are.

| 2/13/26 | ![]() Why 'I've got a great idea for a Podcast' is not the way in 2026 | If I had a dollar for every time I've heard 'I've got a great idea for a podcast' on a Sunday morning I'd be a rich woman. People typically get on the cans on a Saturday night then call me and yabber on for half an hour or so about their great idea for a podcast. I don't always answer the call because 9 times out of 10 it's not a serious proposition and they won't be producing a high value, high return podcast with my production house. Tune in to find out why and tune in to find out how to podcast in 2026. We'd love to create an extraordinary podcast brand for you that works.

| 2/7/26 | ![]() Jackson Brunner | Jackson is an absolute dream boat. He's originally from Australia by calls LA home now. He's worked in radio in both Australia and in LA he worked with KIIS and some other networks but then swung sideways into new media. I should also mention he is an extraordinary photographer @thatisjackson on instagram and owns a fleet of boats (his partner is a hot diver who used to dive for Pearls then bought a boat, then bought a few more;) Jack now works with many darling celebrities of a high calibre social media in LA and he shares his love of the work here. Love you Jackson so much. I once bought Jackson a diamond ring because I was in love with the production work he did for me. He still wears it apparently.

| 1/30/26 | ![]() The Art of Solocasting | When I started working with lots of people and needed words to describe different podcast styles and formats, I started making words up! I even ran a Podcasting Festival with words that I'd made up as titles to lectures and no one batted an eyelid, how cool is that? One of my favourite words I've coined in relation to Podcasting is 'Solocasting' where you podcast with you guessed it - yourself. Here I delve into why it truly is an artform, how to master it and why you should do it often. We'd love to create an extraordinary podcast brand for you that works.
