206: Jenna Kutcher Left Podcasting: Does That Mean Podcasting Is Dead?
When a big name like Jenna Kutcher announces she’s stepping away from podcasting, the internet does what it does best: declares the entire industry dead.
But… is it?
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why podcasting is not dead, what’s actually happening behind the scenes, and why podcasting—especially guesting—remains one of the most powerful ways to reach your next aligned client in 2026.
If you’ve been questioning whether podcasting is still “worth it,” this episode is for you.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why Jenna Kutcher leaving podcasting doesn’t mean podcasting is over
- How podcasting is evolving heading into 2026
- Why fewer podcasts can actually mean more opportunity for the right voices
- Why trust, long-form content, and borrowed audiences matter more than ever
My honest take:
Podcasting isn’t dead.
It’s just no longer about chasing virality, vanity metrics, or pumping out episodes without intention.
In 2026, podcasting belongs to people who:
- Want deeper relationships, not just reach
- Value authority over algorithms
- Understand that being heard is more powerful than being seen for 7 seconds
And if you’re using podcast guesting strategically? You’re not behind—you’re ahead.
