Podcasting can change more than your audience, it can change the relationships around you. The morning show cast and crew talk about what it means to understand your podcast through the eyes of spouses, partners, children, and family members who may not always share your passion. From navigating tough conversations about time, money, and support to handling feedback from the people closest to you, the discussion is filled with honest stories and personal reflections. Here's the thing, understanding your podcast isn't just about downloads and growth. Sometimes it's about recognizing how the people in your life experience the journey alongside you.
