This week on Podjunction Podcast, we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts happening in podcasting right now — the move toward all-in-one tools.

Riverside just announced the launch of podcast hosting, officially bringing recording, editing, and publishing into a single platform. But rather than focusing on the feature itself, I brought Kendall back on the show to unpack the why behind this shift — and what it means for creators, teams, and business podcasters.

We talk about the friction points that slow podcasters down, how tool overload leads to burnout, and why integrated platforms are becoming the future of podcasting. Kendall also shares insight into what business leaders still misunderstand about using a podcast to grow their brand, and the one thing every podcaster should focus on next year.

In this episode, we cover:

— Why moving workflows into one platform matters

— How tool fatigue kills consistency

— What business podcasters struggle with most

— How to repurpose content with intention

— The coming wave of platform consolidation

— What becomes non-negotiable for creators

— The smartest way to drive growth with your show

So yesterday Riverside had a pretty big moment.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, we announced that we added podcast hosting to ⁓ our lineup. So now you can record, edit, and host and publish your podcast all in one place, which is huge. I think we're the first platform to be able to have all of that. And so really just about making the workflow a lot easier for people.
