027 - Where Are They Now? with Daphne Scott

This episode is the first in a special “Where Are They Now?” series.

Over the past several weeks, I have been sitting down with graduates of Podcasting A to Z who said yes to creating something more than a decade ago and kept showing up through many seasons of life and work. These are people who did not just launch a podcast. They built bodies of work that now span hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of episodes.

Daphne Scott is the first of these conversations. Twelve years after going through Podcasting A to Z, she has produced more than three hundred podcast episodes, built multiple shows, and continues to evolve her voice through new projects, including a new leadership podcast and a growing YouTube channel.

Insights from this conversation

• Consistency in podcasting is often less about ideas and more about having a reliable technical process that supports showing up week after week.
• Audio quality matters deeply. Even powerful messages lose their impact when the listening experience creates friction.
• Creating content across multiple locations requires intentional systems and thoughtful gear choices.
• Co-hosting a podcast adds energy and depth to a show, while also introducing additional complexity around scheduling, technology, and production.
• Building a backlog of episodes creates freedom and reduces the pressure of producing something new every single week.
• Video and audio invite different kinds of presence. How a creator shows up changes depending on the medium.
• Long-term creators evolve. The work continues even as identity, ambition, and purpose shift over time.

Podcasting A to Z

If you have been thinking about starting a podcast, relaunching one that has gone quiet, or bringing new life into something you already created, my next session of Podcasting A to Z is starting soon.

This is the same program Daphne and hundreds of other long-term creators went through when they first began. I would love to be your coach and walk with you through every step of launching and growing your show. You can learn more at PodcastingAtoZ.com.
