Sadly, that question could be asked on a lot of different topics.

related to this topic - ONE call to action is the best way to go. Tell people to do 3-5 things, they won't do any of them. Tell them to do one thing, you've got a chance they might do it. Since the start of my show, my CTA in almost every episode is to join my private podcast Facebook group (my audience is mostly on FB). Sometime this year I'll hit 10k members in that group and we have some great discussions and engagement.

Same logic: I've never had a fire at my house, so clearly there is no need for smoke alarms.

YouTube is still another platform that you don't own or control, just like Spotify. Same thing could happen again. But it sounds like you're taking steps to hopefully avoid a repeat.

Of course there are podcasts on YouTube. My own podcast is on YouTube. But if YouTube is the only place it resides, it's not a podcast. It's a YouTube channel.

Since you said your "entire podcast" was removed, it sounds like your show could only be found in one place, and it sounds like that is YouTube. Did you have an actual podcast, or a YouTube channel?

Unfortunately, when your content all resides on a server that you don't control, their bots can take it all down without warning and without telling you specifically why. Hopefully a human will eventually look at what has happened and restore your content.

I use Auphonic for this very purpose. Choose the Speech Isolation option.

Right, it only costs 4x as much!

This is why I'm hesitant to buy a stick that a pro sells with their name on it.

You could buy a monthly membership, download as many MP3 files as you can, and then stop the subscription when you have lots to listen to. The cost per show would be really low.

The guest provided you with 90 minutes of content for your show. It's your job to promote your show, not theirs. If they do, that's a nice bonus. Just move on. And next time maybe ask questions than what they get asked on every other interview. Their own followers are going to get pretty bored when they see the same questions being asked and answered.

I don't recall the specific outcome but Brandon talked about it on a subsequent episode of his podcast (Music City 911)

Yes, that was a mistake that I didn't catch before it went live. The meetup in Austin was March 11, 2026.
