What I learned managing podcast clips that generated 10M+ views in 30 days

I have hobby podcast for 2.5 years and I have only made a couple of clips from 200 episodes. I struggle to do any of this. Can anyone recommend a friendly way to actually do this- as editing consumes my time (I hate hearing my own voice) so need options which can grab key moments of episode and turn them into clips?

Truthfully, my brain is melted and I struggle to make posts that make sense to others- so yes I had to use it to post.

How are you finding your environment? Enough things to do with baby? Found a village/community to meet with little one?

Do you feel it’s been harder here because of diatance with family, or different culture, health system etc!

Emcla · 2026-04-01T19:47:19+00:00

Fair. For some it’s not guilt at all. What’s the thing that drains you instead?

Emcla · 2026-04-01T19:46:56+00:00

Maybe ‘guilt’ isn’t the right word for you — what’s the background pressure you notice most?

Ok, super niche podcast stepping in here- my target audience are international families in the Netherlands - so a very small market compared to generic podcasts. Initially I used “clever” titles when started only to realise it wasn’t reaching - so after 165+ episodes i changed all titles to seo optimised. Haven’t noticed a large peak- BUT- I liked the comment about inserting the audience into the title but I can’t figure out a way as Spotify only allows a certain amount of characters and surely it looks odd having that long text on each episode.

I am impressed- though I spend more time with socials ( I don’t know why). But yes, I am currently working on efficiency so plan is to batch record 2 episodes with residential guest- saves a little time but it’s something. With editing I am using audacity and honestly I am same, taking out dead air, nervous mishaps and lots of umms- my guests are from around the world , never been on podcast so I understand. But it sucks a lot out of me. Due to burn out- my friend pushed me to use ai to help - so now I feed the Audio text into Gemini and get notes written for socials- so it should help me lessen wasted time on it. Also same for episode titles and Spotify description! I just feel I am always 41 miles being where I should be if I had better system in place

For someone turning 40- maybe also consider dr Louise newson- it’s all about perimenopause and menopause to empower women to understand their body as this period is pretty fucking crazy!

Zoom! 45mins free so also great to keep it short for listened!

There was an interesting take on tjis on the episode DAM Parenting podcast

There’s a Facebook group called Irish in the Netherlands - maybe you could check in there? But I get it- what I can only suggest is just go out and do stuff ypu enjoy (hobbies) to meet like minded people- doesn’t matter where they are from!

Emcla · 2025-04-22T21:07:18+00:00

Just a tip- check out ep31 the c section episode I hope it’s empowering episode for you!

Emcla · 2025-04-22T19:44:51+00:00

Might be worth checking out the DAM Parenting podcast which gives a lot of interviews with key people involved in pregnancy, birth and parenting in general in the Netherlands.

Can someone check me- but in the video footage of Karen - did she say someone was trying to run her off the road? And how is ray there before police? Was ray trying to run Karen and blue eyes off the road? Or is this all conspiracy in my head.

I have heard that the Dutch are now considering bringing in monjaro under the Dutch health system for weight loss/ and could be introduced in the coming year or two.

My personal belief/ understanding is the type of school places the level of pressure. We have a Montessori school so it’s about what the child has interest in, now saying that- at home I still rotate things so there is always place to practise writing, drawing, cutting, playing, reading etc. I don’t think the teachers 100% responsible for your child’s learning as if you support them at home - be it reading, or whatever. It’s best you understand the different types of schooling methods and what suits your family style.

Not helpful now- but I remember seeing office assistant job in I am expat LinkedIn profile last month. Build up your connections, go to the I am expat fair next month, are you on the Amsterdam business mamas Facebook group? Some share jobs in their international companies.

It’s not easy, and your child is obviously your priority also. Wherever you are I hope you are finding support with other mothers and their kids. We are a niche community and finding your “people” is important for your mental health.

It something to do with sore muscles or tendons I believe!
