If you’ve ever wondered whether you should start a YouTube channel or launch a podcast, this episode is for you. As someone who’s hosted over 300 podcast episodes and has experience on YouTube, I’m here to give you an honest, data-backed breakdown of both platforms.
In this episode, I’m busting six of the most common myths you’ve probably heard and sharing what’s actually true in 2025. We’ll talk about what’s changed in recent years, how both platforms are evolving, and why in some cases, I actually do recommend YouTube (even though I teach podcasting).
We’re also talking about how things have shifted recently, what’s actually working in 2025, and how to make a decision that fits your content, your goals, and your personality.
If you're tired of all the "one right way" advice and just want a real conversation about what’s best for you, this is the episode to listen to.
