If you want to make your podcast shine through the holidays and maybe even sneak in some downtime, grab your coffee (or hot cocoa) for some holiday prep wisdom.

Hey there, and welcome to The Circle Sessions! On this episode, we’re all about getting your podcast holiday-ready—without running yourself ragged. Host Brett Johnson, My Podcast Guy, is joined by Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadosky from Rebel Marketing, and together, they’re spilling all their tips on how to prep for the holidays like a pro.

Recorded in September (hello, early planners!) but focused on surviving the chaos of December, the trio chats about why it’s smart to start thinking about your holiday content now. Whether you want to take a well-deserved break or keep your show buzzing, they’ve got you covered. You’ll hear everything from batching episodes, easy ways to stay visible, creative ideas for festive content, and why it’s totally okay to let your audience know if you’re hitting pause and taking a breather.

Plus, Yasmine and Izzy share a few fun stories, lots of laughs, and advice on keeping things stress-free—not just for your audience, but for you!

Here are 3 key takeaways you can put to use right now:

✔️ Start Planning Now: Don’t wait until November to figure out your holiday content. As Yasmine pointed out, corporate retail starts thinking about the holidays in September—and so should you! Early planning takes the pressure off and frees up time to enjoy the season.

✔️ Strategize Your Content Break: If you want to hit pause during the holidays, batch-produce content and let your listeners know you’re taking a break—you won’t lose momentum or audience trust. Use “top episodes,” gratitude messages, and update your website/social to keep touchpoints going while you recharge.

✔️ Stay Visible Without Burnout: For those aiming to boost visibility or sales, keep it simple—think quick solo episodes, freebie tie-ins, or short reflective content to keep your audience engaged without running yourself ragged. Remember, quality touchpoints matter more than quantity when everyone’s busy.

Welcome to the Circle Sessions featuring the Circle of Experts. Each week, one of the Circle of Experts joins me to talk about critical aspects of growing your podcast. The Circle of Experts are Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadosky from Rebel Marketing, Tonnisha English, Amamoo of TJE Communications, and Don the Idea Guy. I'm Brett Johnson, My Podcast Guy from Circle 270 Media Podcast Consultants. This week, Yasmine and Izzy are here. They work alongside clients to to design a website that's driven by strategy, looks amazing and that you can use to grow your podcast and then in turn your business as well. Yasmine and Izzy, thanks for joining me today.

Yeah, thanks for having us back.

Yep.

We are actually recording this in September, but it's themed holiday hype without the burnout, which I'm guilty of this too of not really thinking about how to handle the holidays for content creation until it's too late. And that's just because you get busy. I probably do a better job for my clients than I do for myself. But we want to talk about how to prep your podcast and also, you know, business content creation before the holidays, specifically that, that full month of December really when it comes down to it. So Yasmine, let's talk about, you know, why planning now? I mean this is going to be released in September. Why in September? Is it, is it that too early? I'm almost feeling it's not.

No. Well, I come from the world of corporate retail, so we start, I mean fashion too. So the fashion designers are thinking about holiday. I don't even know January 1st of the, of the year, you know, spring. But they marketing starts depending on what, what department or what area of marketing you do. Generally though, everyone is in the holiday feels and, and working on holiday tasks around September. October. October is usually also, I believe when we start doing code freezes.

So that means like no changes. Like you already strategize everything. It's really about implementation. So that's why I come into it that way. But also, you know, you don't want to spend the holidays worrying about what you're supposed to be doing for your business. You, you want that stress off because we all know holidays are stressful enough with our personal lives and our family dynamics, then.

Yeah.

Having to add business to it.

Yeah. And I would think the depending on what content you're creating, if it's very holiday intensive, that there is some movement, some changes. Yeah. Planning ahead is going to be good. Or if, you know, it's like, you know what, I want to take Three weeks off. I don't want to be doing anything now it's the time to be planning to put that ahead, so. Yeah, exactly, exactly. But thinking about the types of listeners that are going to be on a podcast, you know, those who want to take a break and those who want to maximize holiday visibility.

So let, you know, let's take a look at from the standpoint of, you know, that the holidays have a different type of listenership. We just came off of summer and I'm talking to my clients and reminding them that, you know, what summer, we have a different schedule of life and we listen to podcasts differently. I think we can look at that also as well for the holidays. We may want to explain and talk a little bit about that too.

So Yasmeen comes from the world of corporate and I come from the world of anxiety. So I would also say planning ahead is very important for things like this because also during this time specifically, you also probably want to take a break, not just your audience. So, but I would say with podcasts and different things, just because it's not the summertime and people might not be like on vacation or doing other things, listening. Well, they might be driving to their parents house and a long car ride and they could still be podcasting. It's like everybody has a different scenario in their lives. And I think people sometimes are just like, especially for us, they're like, well, we don't really feel like we need to post during the holidays or we feel like we don't need to cover these things during the holidays. But it's like you can have those scheduled ahead and it's still like you're talking to your audience in a way, but you don't have to be fully present to interact. So I mean, you're still making yourself visible during that time.

So it doesn't seem like you just disappeared or anything. And if you do want to disappear and you don't want to schedule, you can literally just post that too. Being like, I'm disappearing for two weeks and I'm pretty sure people would be pretty understanding about that. But yeah, that's what I have to say.

I, I, you know what, go ahead, Yasmine.

Yeah, I was gonna say, like, I was wondering, it depends on your type of podcast too. Like if you have a crime podcast and you're covering some, I don't know, holiday themed crime, or you're where you're getting your money.

Spiked punch or spiked punch. You killed everybody at the holiday party. Ex.

Yeah, exactly, I said that. Yeah, it's you know, family dynamics are just weird during the holidays. But think about like where your revenue is coming from. So ad revenue, if it is a podcast that runs through the holidays, is it a podcast that is going to get a lot of traction for the holidays? And if so, would you be able to sell ad slots for people? Like if they're selling holiday widgets, can you in September, October, sell those ad slots, particularly for those at those items. Right. For those, to those companies and ask them if they want an ad slot. So think about it that way too. Like what kind of content are you putting out? If it's a business podcast, will you just be repurposing content or is there something that you could launch it? Just I guess who is listening? When are they listening to it? If I, if it's a crime podcast, I'll be like Izzy and listen to it in a car, you know, while I'm driving to a family gathering with my special eggnog.

I think you can look at it a couple of ways, just as you two have done as well too is if you've been able to podcast over a multiple year, multiple season, take a look at what your, how your content did last year or the year before in these two months, take a look at it. And also realize during the holidays people start listening to radio even more because they want to hear holiday music. And there's, there's this, these, you know, Hallmark Channel 24, seven of Christmas movies, you know, holiday movies and such. So you, you're fighting that competition and maybe, maybe you shouldn't just let it be. It's only 45 days probably, you know, so. Yeah, for some people. Right. Summits.

For some people.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or someone just love to have the Halloween, the Halloween season extend into, you know, December, that sort of thing. But, but it just kind of realize the competition's up a little bit. Maybe you don't have to fight it necessarily. Just kind of know that it exists and maybe talk to your listeners and or viewers in a different way. Maybe it's more email that during that time newsletter, you know, update or something like that. I know a lot of people do reissue and redo older episodes. I'm not a tremendously big fan of that.

I think it's kind of a, to a certain degree a little bit lazy way out. But I think you can use older content to maybe readdress, bring in older content, but put something in front and back of it or something like that, I don't know. But just bring something fresh to it. That it's like, well, because if somebody remembers it from especially, you know, your, your heavy listener and they remember it again, it's like they're going to be disappointed. It's like, wait a minute, I just heard this back in March. But, but if you do something a little bit different with it, I think that helps a lot too. And that's again, addressing who your listeners are. And to maximize that visibility, you guys came up with some options of, you know, addressing this time period.

An option one you called the planned pause strategy. We kind of talked about this a little bit, but Yasmeen, let's, let's go into it a little bit more, what your thoughts were.

Yeah, so what I, the way I was thinking is just you, if this is for the person or business owner who knows that they're going to pause for whatever reason, whether business is just slower, whether you need more time with family or you need more time to decompress after having family over, you just want to pause on your, on, I guess the hustle of everything. And so this is a little bit about how to take a break without just completely ghosting. Now you can, this is totally an option. You can just ghost people or ghost your audience, but ideally you don't want to work that hard when it's time to bring them back into the fold. So what I suggest is batching one or two episodes ahead of time. We do this a lot anyway because as business owners, we get really busy. You can do end of year reflections, top episode recaps, or best of if you have, like I've seen some crime podcasts do, even if it's just a blog post. Or they might do an episode, but it is revisiting a crime and then adding because there was maybe some new evidence that came up.

So they might either add, like Brett said, add to that podcast podcast episode, or they will update everyone in the newsletter or in the blog or their community. So that's just a couple of things you can, I know for market like it's hot. We recently recorded one on gratitude and so you can showcase gratitude and give your community a shout out episode or a private episode if they're part of like a Patreon or something. You can update your website, your homepage, your artwork, and tell people that you're on break till January. And here are the top episodes so that they understand, oh, they're, they're on break for this amount of time. It's not like something horrible happened to them. Obviously. I listened to too many crime podcasts.

You Know, I guess the other portion would be like, oh, they're on break. They didn't win a million dollars and have abandoned this episode. Right. So it's a planned break. And so I, I've seen that before too, where they say, this is the last episode of the year. We will see everybody back here in February. And so I'm excited to hear from them in February. And then use your other channels like social, email, all of that to just stay slightly visible.

So even if you're not recording a podcast or putting out a blog, a full blog post, schedule a couple of nostalgic or personal posts, look back posts behind the scenes, something like, here's our favorite episode from 2024, 2025 while we sipped hot cocoa. Maybe just an image of you at a holiday event with your team. Anything to give that person personality, that personal touch, that human aspect. But you pre scheduled it, so it's a little bit lighter on your load.

Right? Yeah, I agree. And you made a really good point about hey, we're going to be back, taking a break. We're going to be back in February as your example, start to plan out how to do the touch points again. Those emails saying, hey, we promised and here's a tease of what's coming up. So they know, okay, they may not have it marked on the calendar when that episode or the next blog or whatever video or whatever content you're creating. Yeah. But at least they know you're still around, that you are still creating, you know, that sort of thing. I think that's really good that it's, and it's, it's soft touch points.

It's, it's to your point, content, a touch point that can be scheduled ahead of time. You can create an email and put it, put it in and it can be scheduled, you know, six weeks from now, that sort of thing. And but I do like your, you know, taking photos during the, the holidays. Hey, we're listening to our favorite episodes and seven hot cocoa. That's a really good time to even cross promote having some fun with other podcasts you may enjoy too. Yeah, that the, you know, allowing them to get more of a personality from you and kind of go, yeah, I've been listening this, this found a new one you guys might want to listen to too. Don't worry about losing listeners over that. That just showcases who you are, you know, creating something a little bit more.

So yeah, Izzy, there's option two that we want to talk about, the visibility and sales strategy. Yasmine talked a little bit about that I think before, but you know, kind of looking at if you've got some, some dollars and cents tied to it, here's some ideas as well too.

Yeah, so especially for us, I would say like this is, this would be the time to start booking ahead for the next year. So like sometimes we have guests on our podcast, so making sure that they're available for us to have them on to talk for the next year is always a good thing. But also if we don't want to create these episodes within that month too, and we're kind of on a break, we could always promote a freebie with a popular episode that we already have. So for us, like if we were talking about market like it's hot, we could always be like, we're gonna give you the gift of the holidays and joy with a free marketing plan or a marketing worksheet and then just have that added in and promote it that way. Because it's still like you're not creating new content, you're just reusing it in a way that might even be seen more now with the holiday theme tied to it. So saving time and money on that one. Plus you might get some leads from it. Publish content that's easier to digest because everybody is in a holiday mood and not in a work mood.

Reading really long graphics during the holidays, probably not fun for anybody, so probably don't do that. You can also do shorter episodes. So if you don't want to like record a 30 minute episode or an hour episode, but you just still want to get something, you could just do like a 10 minute like hot take on whatever your business is doing. Or if you just want to like, maybe even sum up the year in 10 minutes of like what you've learned, I think that would also be good. But then it's not going to take as long to edit as well. So to keep it 10 minutes or less and then again just mini solo episodes, like little stories behind the scenes Q and A or yeah, any services that you're providing during the holidays or I know sometimes businesses will give certain discounts during the holidays too. So if you want to use that as a way to promote your business and your podcast, I think that would be beneficial.

But yeah, yeah, I. You bring up a good point in Rebel Marketing and Circle270 Media. I have a feeling we have the same type of sales cycle, I guess you want to call it that you have a lot of people contacting you as the year ends because of just the new year. They want to. They're looking to do something different, they're changing their strategy or they're just tired of who they're working with. Or maybe the person that worked with before is Lee. Whatever the case might be. I get the same thing for podcasts, that it's one of those we're gonna, we're gonna do this in the new year and they're smart and they get ahold of me, you know, within October, November, even December time period.

So that's not a time for us to let off the gas of creating content. Not necessarily full bore, like you mentioned, but those little things that just keep your name and social media active and podcasts active, that it just keeps reminding those that are been searching for you to like, oh yeah, I've been meaning to talk to Rebel Marketing. Oh yeah, I've been meaning to. I got to get this podcast stuff going. So at least it's not leaving social media in the dark and you're just not doing anything. When they start searching you up, at least they're seeing some recent posts. I, I falls right into it. I When you were talking about that, that's what, what's in my mind going, yeah, there, there's, that's the time period you can't pull back, honestly.

Yeah. And that's a. And they think it's a good lesson in knowing your cycles of who's contacting you if, if you're in that business podcast realm and, and know that, yeah, I got to stay active in this, in this period, but I got to do it smart.

Yeah.

Yasmeen, some content ideas for holiday episodes. I like these. It's one of those get creative. This is a really good time of year to be creative about what you do to help with the load.

Yeah. So just a couple of ideas or brainstorming that you can use to get started. So something like dear whatever year you're listening to this on, like dear 2025, here's what I'm letting go of. And it can be this could fit like whether we're doing it for my market like it's hot or we're doing it for circle, circle of experts or whatever it is, like what are we letting go of? So this could fit potentially various niches and then what you're carrying into the new year, you know, just explaining three lessons you learned in business this year that still sting but help me grow. So that's some, you know, people can. People love hearing the behind the scenes, especially as business owners. We love hearing how your growth went and what worked, what didn't work. So that one, we don't make the same mistakes but two so that we can help cheer you on because you've you've gotten a learning out of these, you know, like top three listener favorite episodes and why they resonated so you don't have to rehash the same episode.

But you can say, you can take clips from some of them and say this is why we believe they resonated with people. Here's what's coming up on the podcast in 2025. So back to or 2026. What back to what Brett said about the teaser. So even if you are taking a break or not, but you have a teaser on like maybe who is a guest that has already recorded just hasn't been necessarily edited that might be coming in in January, February of the new year. So that's always a pretty cool one. Especially if it's a a big guest. Some kind of unpopular opinion Holiday Edition So whether you're a health nut or you're a marketing agency or whatever sort of business, you have an unpopular opinion in your industry, the holiday edition would be nice.

So just as a side note, unpopular opinion about if it's for health, like can I actually stuff my face all of the holidays? Is that good? Is that a possibility? What I wish I'd known before the holidays last year. Or you know, what I wish I'd known before xyz. Again, it's more of the reflection. Episodes that are fun, a bit more lightweight. I think it was Izzy that said those kind of lightweight episodes or subjects that feel like a wrap up to the year but still set you up for success.

Well, I'll, I'll play a little inside baseball here that, you know, we, we still have to schedule a couple more episodes. I say we do a dear 2025. Here's, here's what I'm letting go. And we just all three of us come up with three ideas and I love the three lessons I learned in business this year that still sting but it helped me grow. We should do a couple episodes just on those and from the, from the perspective that we are small business owners, we're solo, you know, somewhat solo premieres onto entrepreneurs, that sort of thing. So and, and we can tie it in. Really. I love those ideas already.

So we may already have a couple episodes set up. So. Great idea. No, exactly. We had talked about a lot of stuff here in regards to helping some ideas to help you at least address the next few months to know how to do this. But there, there could be Some tactical tips that can make it easier. And Izzy, let's go over those main. First one mentioned.

It's kind of obvious, but not a lot of people do use a calendar.

Yeah. And also make sure other people are on that calendar if you are collaborating with them is also a good note. But yeah, if you're thinking about taking a break during that time, but you're still wanting to schedule episodes, definitely use a calendar and probably record weekly like for us for Rebel Marketing. I mean, we also are trying to take a break during November because there's a baby, but there's a baby. So we've been recording multiple episodes probably every week for the past few months just to make sure that we're ahead of that. So Yasmeen can take a break, you know.

You know, and do. In doing that. That's really habit forming too.

Yeah.

May not let go of that habit once you kind of get back in the cycle of doing it. Because it's just, it's one of those you met. You've had it on the calendar, but it's just, it's filling it out. What you guys do a mixture of interview and quote unquote solo episode between the two of you. It becomes. If you let it become a habit, it does become a habit because it's on the calendar and you don't want to let it go. Yeah.

Yeah. And then also just picking your goal for the. Your podcast. So are you wanting to grow? Are you trying to get leads from your podcast or you just trying to take a rest for the holidays and you don't want anything to come your way, which is also completely, completely fine because burnout is a real thing. So pick, pick what you want your goal to be and then, you know, make sure that you're applying different strategies to make sure you can accomplish that. And then also kind of like what I just said, you can also batch record episodes. So sometimes you'll see me in the same shirt episode back to back. I swear to God, I don't wear the same outfit every day like a cartoon character.

We were probably batch recording episodes, so that's always something to keep in mind.

But. But it also at the same time. That's a really good point. If you don't want that look, remember to bring a change of, of a top or a hat or something like that. No, I, I've had clients that do that when they're doing video focus stuff that they do bring a change. They don't want that look. They want it to be different. So it does Make a difference.

Because by the time it's all said and done and you have it recorded and you start looking going, oh, no, I'm wearing the same thing, like seven different episodes. And you know, most people aren't going to care, though. But if you do, make a note of it. Change. Yeah, actually.

Or just never change.

Or just never change. Never go changing. Exactly.

Like, what was it? Steve Jobs, Just, you know, the same shirt every day, always.

Yeah, yeah, but, yeah, that's also something to consider.

Yeah, yeah.

And put it on your calendar, maybe that you need to bring the change of clothes that.

That too. Throw it, throw it in the car before you go or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, put it in the comments. You're looking up the directions where to record. It also has that you need to bring a second outfit.

Right, right.

And then also schedule a newsletter or social support ahead of time. So things that are referencing your podcast content that's already probably going to be coming out so people can find it and know that you're still posting around this time. So it's different touch bases, but it's a different way to keep them still engaged. And then we use schedulers, so we use Metricool, but we use Boomcaster to record our podcast. But we can, you know, edit that and record that at a certain date and time and then post it later. But we can also.

Yeah, so now you bring up Metricool. What is Metricool? I've not heard of that.

It's a social scheduling thing. So we can upload, we can schedule when we want like a YouTube video to come out or like a YouTube clip or. Or Instagram, LinkedIn, all the socials. So.

Yeah, okay, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, the one of the podcasts I work with and have been doing it for a while called Looking Forward Our Way, we do a lot of guest expert interviews locally here in Columbus, Ohio, in studio. But we've also made the choice that we don't want to do recordings in during the holidays. Number one, as we're approaching December. But also looking at weather, we don't want to ask our guests to have to traverse icy roads. Now, luckily or not, I don't. Whatever you want to call it, weather has gotten different. So in a shortened period of time that the weather can be bad, but we still don't have to reschedule and such.

So we do a lot of batch recording. Like we're in the busy season now, getting things up and we're telling the guests that, okay, we're recording now, but it probably won't be out until January, you know, that sort of thing. And they totally get it. They understand and there's nothing time sensitive about it. But to that point, I, you know, my, my co host and I have had long discussion, not long, but frequent discussions about how to approach those times off. So I think, you know, that's a cue as well too, is like you have a co host talk these things out. Because you may not be on the same page about how to do this or why you're taking a break or need to take a break. It's just a discussion.

Doesn't mean it's the end of the podcast. But know that you're both on the same page about how to approach those times off vacations or again, pregnancy or, or, you know, God forbid, something really bad happens and you've got to take a break.

Like Yasmin gets hit by a bus. We.

That's, that's my thing. I might get hit by a bus. Guys, I, I like being prepared. You might hear like a ton of episodes with on market. Like it's hot. Even after I pass over, like, is he's going to keep the party going? Then they say, I, I might never. I might always have a podcast.

Yeah, you've got enough out there. I could probably replicate it pretty well. Exactly. That's just a decision that, you know, Izzy will have to live with. Oh my gosh. So let's, let's wrap this up. I think this has been a really, really timely and really good discussion because it catches content creators by surprise. They're just in go mode and all of a sudden, oh my gosh, it's two weeks before Halloween.

I haven't even thought about the holiday. So, Yasmine, you know, what are some, you know, kind of takeaways to think about?

Well, I, I think the biggest takeaway is deciding soon what you want to do.

What.

What does your business want to do overall? So if you're podcasting, just like if it's a regular podcast, just crime podcast, what do you want to do with that? What is your goal as soon as 2026 for us or whenever you're listening to this, as soon as the new year hits, what is your goal for the podcast or the business? So start thinking more high level of what is the growth goal for the next year and how can I set myself up for success? Because if you're saying I want X amount of sponsors and ads in my podcast hitting January 2026, that's gonna, you're probably gonna have to. You're not gonna be able to pause. You're gonna have to keep working at it to promote those slots. But if you say, you know what, I'm gonna take it really easy. The podcast is great. It's doing well. I just want to make sure I have pre recorded enough to get me through the end of the year and in a little bit into the next year while I, you know, gear back up in January. So plan around that.

And then I would also ask you to write down what has frustrated you the most and what have you enjoy doing the most. Depending on where you are in your journey, you might want to invest in like an editor for the podcast. If you've been diying it, you might want to invest in the website. If you have a podcast that's very focused on local. Is it something where you can invest in local SEO? Think about what were your big audacious goals and what did you like doing? What do you not want to do? What do you have the budget or the bandwidth to do yourself if you have to. And then plan that out. And then you can start saying, okay, well, I have to keep going. I can't just pause fully.

But I have pre recorded a ton of episodes so that I can just focus on creating social media content or check out like specific tools that will help you schedule things out. But you can't get there until you really see that whole picture.

Right. Yeah. Izzy, what are some of your thoughts? What's the biggest one thing, one thing you would want the listener to take away from this other.

Other than hiring us?

No. Well, that's, that's obvious.

But I would probably just go with preparation over anything.

Yeah, No, I think you're. I think that's what this whole thing is all about. You're exactly right. Whatever that means for you. Yeah, whatever that means. That preparation means do it better. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I agree.

I agree. At, to your point. Yes. Mean hiring us. How can they get a hold of you if something resonated? Especially your point about, okay, I need a better website for all the content I'm creating. I need to get a hold of Rebel Marketing. How do they get a hold of you?
