If your podcast is more than a year old, you should have two things “dialed-in”:

• Your comfortable behind the mic (or you fake it well enough)
• You’ve built an audience (small or large) and have acquired “regular” listeners

With those two things in place, you can ask yourself a single question:

Why am I doing this?

Chances are, the purpose of your podcast has little to do with the cash and time you spend on your show. And you know what? That’s OK. Because it’s your time and your money, and you get to spend it how you want.

But I am genuinely curious as to the purpose behind your podcasting efforts. After you’ve listened to this episode, please send me a quick email or a tweet that tells me your purpose, OK? It’s my birthday wish to you. (Yes, it really is my birthday today!)

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early
