Here's a trick: Don't think about your podcast as a continuous piece of content. Instead, think of it as contiguous pieces that can be assembled into a whole.

That's what I mean by "atomizing" content.

There are many benefits to using atomized content for your podcast

Assembly is a breeze.
You not doing "all at once" work, letting you fit in small bits of time to produce content during your day (or week, whatever.)
The atomized components are easy to syndicate in other, non-podcasting mediums to expose your content with a new audience.
They're great for sharing on smart speakers, where shorter content rules the day.
They may earn you a recurring spot on another podcast.

Lots of things to think about, for existing podcasters and those new to the game. And all of it is covered in this short episode.
