Are you looking to do something different with your podcast in the last few episodes of the year? December is the perfect time to test different formats and work more of your personality into your show! In this solo episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I’m sharing ideas for your final episodes of the year that will build audience trust and reignite your podcast enjoyment, beyond the ‘top 10’ round-ups. This week, episode 249 of Podcasting Unlocked is about creative end-of-year episode ideas that build deep connection!
In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I’m sharing the importance of incorporating some personality-driven content into your podcast and actionable steps you can take right now to shake things up with your end-of-year episodes.
I also chat about the following:
- Break the Format: End-of-year episodes are the perfect time to experiment and move beyond the traditional "Top 10" list to stand out from other content.
- Go Behind the Scenes: Record a "Podcast Confessional" where you share the worst advice you took or a mistake you made to deepen trust and human connection with your listeners.
- Use Personality-Driven Content: Inject more of your personality into a segment or entire episode, such as a "Bloopers Episode" or a "Best/Worst Advice" compilation, to boost listener engagement and podcast enjoyment.
- Combat AI Fatigue: In a world filled with AI content, prioritizing human experiences and sharing personality-driven content is a strategic way to build crucial audience trust.
This week, record one non-educational, personality-driven segment for your final episode of the year. Bring back the excitement and joy to your podcasting journey!
If you're unsure whether to continue your show next year or feeling overwhelmed, I invite you to a free 15-minute one-on-one consultation. Let's talk through your podcasting strategies, answer your questions, and support you along your journey.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
