How Talking Drupal Stayed Consistent for 13 Years (600+ Episodes)
In the first episode of Produced By, Stephen is joined by Talking Drupal hosts Nic Laflin and John Picozzi to discuss how their weekly panel-style Drupal podcast has lasted 13 years and surpassed 600 episodes, roughly 3,000 monthly listeners, and 1 million downloads. They review the show’s audio-first format, its open-source community ethos, and motivations for continuing, including learning, giving back, and staying relevant rather than making income. Key evolutions include having consistent weekly guests, a dedicated Module of the Week correspondent, rotating monthly guest hosts, and recent live streaming with audience chat. They address burnout, highlighting the importance of splitting responsibilities after episode 300, improving production automation, taking planned breaks, and maintaining sustainable workflows, while sharing memorable moments.
