How a little break in workflow made me stop podcasting

A couple years ago, I was consistently doing a podcast.

Then I stopped.

I could tell you all these sophisticated reasons for why I stopped, but really it was because I lost my workflow.

When I started, I used an app that let me record an episode directly into my phone, splice in the pre-recorded intro, write the episode title and description, and publish the episode, all with a few clicks.

The app was called Anchor.

In 2023, Anchor integrated into Spotify, essentially killing the workflow I used. It didn’t let me do what I used to do on the app.

I looked for a new app to do the same thing but couldn’t find one. In the end, my new version would have taken quite a few more steps or I would have to do it on my computer instead of my phone.

Nah.

It was easier to just not do it.

So I didn’t.

Goes back to the little things.
