Ever wonder how some podcasters manage to run multiple shows while maintaining their sanity and family life? In this eye-opening conversation, automation expert Joe Casabona reveals his secrets for making computers do the heavy lifting in podcast production.
Through practical examples, Joe demonstrates how even seemingly "quick" manual tasks like copying information between apps create hidden costs. Each interruption requires you to stop what you're doing, switch context, and then rebuild momentum on your original task – turning a five-minute action into a 20-minute productivity sink. These small inefficiencies compound into hours of lost time each week.
The conversation explores specific automation solutions for podcasters, from creating private podcast feeds when members join to automatically moving files through your production system. Joe addresses common objections to automation tools, comparing platforms like Notion, Airtable, Zapier, and Make.com to help you choose the right fit for your workflow and technical comfort level.
Perhaps most powerfully, Joe shares his personal lawn mowing epiphany – how spending six hours cutting his overgrown grass cost him $1,200 in lost billable hours. This crystallized the realization that doing everything yourself isn't always the smartest approach. As he puts it, "You're a capable person. You can do a lot of things yourself. It's about freeing up your time to do the most crucial of your tasks."
