Best Laid Plans

Ep #259: Real Talk: Podcast Peak Behind the Scenes

July 14, 2025

In today’s episode, I lift back the curtain and share some real behind-the-scenes podcast talk with listeners. I chat about how Best Laid Plans came to be, how she chooses guests, how I track podcast logistics, what is outsourced, how I handle listener emails, and much more!

(This is a fun ep even if you don’t usually listen, but want to know what it looks like to sustain a podcast long term!)

    Yes, I think I can make sense of how you select the topics for each episode and how you choose guests now, Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger. I can also affirm that you reply to almost each and every email that I sent to you.
