Hatch’s Post

As of today, uConnect's bi-weekly Career Everywhere podcast is produced, edited, and scheduled out through January 2025 🎙 In preparation for my impending maternity leave. That's 9 episodes between now and January 21. No disruptions (aside from not publishing an episode on Dec. 24, due to the holiday). Every scheduled launch includes: - A landing page on our website (which includes the video episode, a summary, linked resources, a transcript, and more) - The audio episode uploaded to Transistor for distribution to all podcasting platforms - The video episode uploaded to Wistia and YouTube - A launch post scheduled on LinkedIn - A launch email scheduled to be sent to the episode's guest(s) Not to mention packing my schedule this summer with extra interviews to make sure we had enough content to get through Q4 and into Q1. And working closely with our amazing podcast production agency Hatch to get everything edited in time. (10/10 service) While still maintaining our regular bi-weekly release schedule in the meantime. In short, this was a LOT of work to pull off 😅 And I am super proud. This was a major goal I set for myself as my boss and I planned how we'd approach content production while I'm on maternity leave during Q4. The podcast is the pillar of our content strategy, and I am a solo content marketer (and the host/producer of the show). In my mind, we HAD to keep it going if at all possible. Plus, we've never missed a release since launching the podcast in January 2023, and I sure as heck didn't want to start now 😅 👏 HUGE thank you to my boss Ashley Safranski for all of her support with this goal, including freeing up my calendar so I had time to focus on this and her great work hosting several recent webinars that I repurposed into podcast episodes. 👏 Thanks also to the many career services leaders who agreed to be interviewed this summer, knowing their episodes won't come out for a while yet. Thank you for your flexibility in squeezing these interviews in before the end of August, too! Michele Doran, Melanie Murphy, Paul Maniaci, Claire Klieger, Gerald Tang, Ed.D., Dave Merry, EdD, just to name a few. 👏 And finally, thank you to Baby Boy for staying put and not arriving early 😅 #clutch There are still several more things I'd like to get done before going on maternity leave (if time and baby allow). But this was the big one 😊
