Podcast
Host a podcast without recurring hosting fees eating into the show.
Podcast hosting services were priced for growth, but a solo show about solopreneurship didn't need that overhead.
An exploratory experiment with intentionally limited scope.
Case Study
Before
Audio content about solopreneurship and tech topics needed a dedicated platform. Existing podcast hosting services were expensive and didn't integrate well with the portfolio's content ecosystem.
After
Created an owned podcast platform with zero hosting fees. The integrated show notes drive SEO traffic, and cross-links to portfolio projects turn listeners into tool users.
How it's solved
Built a self-hosted podcast player with episode pages, show notes in MDX, RSS feed generation, and an embedded audio player with chapter markers. Episodes link to related portfolio projects and blog posts.
Trade-offs
Episodes are hosted statically — no dynamic ad insertion or listener analytics beyond basic page views.
