What can podcasters learn from the long-awaited #SnyderCut? Whether you’ve been following this story for years or if you’ve never heard of Justice League, stay with me on this. As you may know, Zack Snyder stepped away from the the 2017 Justice League and another director finished the movie. Snyder’s daughter had died by suicide…
Ready to make money with your podcast? I’ve cracked the code on working with sponsors and I’m sharing how it’s done. No snake oil or nonsense – this is the real deal! Here’s what people are saying about my talk at The Charlotte Podcast Festival: ✨”Wonderful tips on how to start your own podcast and…
It didn’t take long after my son was diagnosed for someone to tell us, “Kid first, diabetes second.” Benny was diagnosed in 2006, but that phrase has been around a long time in the diabetes parenting community. I get it. We shouldn’t take away all the things that make childhood fun and special, because of…
Here’s a little project while most of us are trying to keep our distance and stay at home as much as possible: send me your audio! It’s easy, I promise. It’ll be fun to hear some new voices on our show and maybe learn a little bit about what you and your children are thinking…

Here we go again! The Second Diabetes Podcast Week is coming up: February 6-10, 2017. As I explained last year, I’ve participated in and enjoyed Diabetes Blog Week for a long time. After I started my podcast, it seemed like a natural fit to create #DPodcastWeek. Once again, we’re using our microphones to get some attention for…
This week on Diabetes Connections I shared a big milestone: the show has received more than 50,000 downloads. In podcast-land this is a remarkable number to have reached after just over a year for a show like mine. I didn’t have a huge “brand” or powerhouse blog before starting the show. But I knew that…
