NaPodPoMo 2026 - Introduction by @shainemata on 3Speak, from NaPodPoMo 2026
Introductory episode for NaPodPoMo 2026. Expectations for this year. Episode Show Notes — NaPodPoMo Day 1 (Nov 1) Introduction In this kickoff episode for National Podcast Post Month (NaPodPoMo), the host shares their plans for posting daily audio throughout November, why consistency has been difficult in past years, and how new tools on 3Speak may make completing the challenge more achievable this time. Key Points Today marks Day 1 of NaPodPoMo, an annual challenge that has been running for 19 years. The host has participated nearly every year but hasn’t completed all 30 days on time, often reaching only the halfway point. A major obstacle has been the time required to edit audio—editing can take several hours beyond the recording itself. This year’s goal is to prioritize consistency: record, post, and move on without letting perfectionism or heavy editing prevent publishing. The host plans to use 3Speak, noting its updated platform and new native audio (MP3) recording option, which feels simpler than converting audio into video for other platforms. The host is considering launching additional content-focused channels, such as: Caregiving and dementia-related experiences (potentially on YouTube or a blog) Politics and commentary (possibly on X) Rather than cross-posting identical content everywhere, the host is leaning toward keeping each platform as its own channel with distinct content to build different audiences. The episode closes with a commitment to continue the NaPodPoMo journey and return with another post tomorrow.
