Saving Hours: Automate Your Way to Podcast Freedom

Ever wonder how some podcasters manage to run multiple shows while maintaining their sanity and family life? In this eye-opening conversation, automation expert Joe Casabona reveals his secrets for making computers do the heavy lifting in podcast production.

Through practical examples, Joe demonstrates how even seemingly "quick" manual tasks like copying information between apps create hidden costs. Each interruption requires you to stop what you're doing, switch context, and then rebuild momentum on your original task – turning a five-minute action into a 20-minute productivity sink. These small inefficiencies compound into hours of lost time each week.

The conversation explores specific automation solutions for podcasters, from creating private podcast feeds when members join to automatically moving files through your production system. Joe addresses common objections to automation tools, comparing platforms like Notion, Airtable, Zapier, and Make.com to help you choose the right fit for your workflow and technical comfort level.

Perhaps most powerfully, Joe shares his personal lawn mowing epiphany – how spending six hours cutting his overgrown grass cost him $1,200 in lost billable hours. This crystallized the realization that doing everything yourself isn't always the smartest approach. As he puts it, "You're a capable person. You can do a lot of things yourself. It's about freeing up your time to do the most crucial of your tasks."

Welcome to Communication Connection Community, the podcaster's podcast. This podcast takes a deep dive into modern day communication strategies in the podcasting space. We chat with interesting people who make the podcasting and speaking spaces exciting and vibrant. We also dive into the podcasting community with news updates, latest trends and topics from this ever-evolving space. So strap in, it's going to be one amazing ride. Let's dive into today's episode, and my guest today is no stranger to the world of podcasting.

Carl Richards: 0:43

Joe Casabona is a podcast and automation coach who helps busy solopreneurs take back their time. Who doesn't want more time? If you had 25 hours in a day, would you take it? Of course you would. Some even say he perfectly blends content creation and technology, like it's the best cup of coffee you've ever had. There's imagery for you, by the way. He says that, not me. Joe's strategies come from his many years of experience over 10 years creating podcasts, more than 15 years teaching and over 20 years as a web developer. When he's not producing and coaching podcasters, you can find Joe spending time with his family enjoying baseball or talking too much about Star Wars. Oh, my goodness, it's another one of those kids on the block here and I'm a Trekkie. But that's okay, we'll get along, I'm sure, joe. Welcome to the podcast.

Joe Casabona: 1:36

Thanks so much, Carl, for having me. I'm really excited to be here.

Carl Richards: 1:40

Okay, favorite Star Wars character, let's start there, get it.

Joe Casabona: 1:50

Let's just get the dirty laundry out of the way. Obi-wan kenobi, which is boring, uh, but you know, if I have to pick like extended universe, I'm gonna go ahsoka tano. I just think like her story arc is great okay, all right.

Carl Richards: 1:57

Okay, I actually grew up watching star wars, the original three, which was actually the last six the middle, the middle, yeah, yeah, uh so new hope empire strikes back. And return to the Jedi. I would say Yoda would be my favorite character, probably because he just spoke the way that I sometimes speak after uh, way too many cups of coffee, so there yeah, yeah, hey, he was my senior quote.

Joe Casabona: 2:24

So Way too many cups of coffee. So there you go.

Carl Richards: 2:25

Yeah, hey he was my senior quote. Philosophy, too, like I mean master of philosophy who couldn't, you know, love Yoda, yeah. And then later on, yoda became CGI, which just made him do some cool things that he could never do when he was just a puppet Right.

Joe Casabona: 2:40

Right, yes, yes. Or the puppeteer, which I think Frank Oz was the puppeteer and the voice would have been very impressive for him to do it would have been, and I don't even know if Frank Oz is still around. I'm trying to no, I don't think he is.

Carl Richards: 2:54

Oh God, rest his soul. Such a great, such a great voice of many, many characters Anyhow. But you're also a podcaster, so we have kindred spirits there. Being both sci-fi fanatics, I guess you could say Me more Trekkie than you in the Star Wars universe, but still in the universe somewhere right With spaceships that go faster than my car. So absolutely.

Joe Casabona: 3:15

I want to make a quick stat correction. He is alive. He's 80 years old and I just know that. I want to correct this because when I listen to something and it's factually incorrect, I shout at the podcast like they can hear me through time and space. So for anybody who is shouting through time and space, I heard you and I looked it up and he's still alive.

Carl Richards: 3:34

Well, don't rest his soul yet. God, Frank Oz, keep at it. You're looking great and still doing fine, yeah, but podcasting you've been at this for quite a while. How did you get, how did you find yourself in this crazy space podcasting? What led you here?

Joe Casabona: 3:52

Yeah, I think so. I mean the origin. Origin was I was out, my friends and I had just like a like a guy's like camping weekend and we were talking things. And I have my master's in software engineering. I know a lot about computers and technology, and my friends seemed to know a lot about a lot.

Joe Casabona: 4:13

I'm like how do you guys? This was like 09, maybe. I'm like how do you guys know all this stuff? And they're like we listen to podcasts. And so that's when I started listening and then like most people maybe not most, but many people who listen to podcasts they think eventually I can, I should do this. So in 2012, my friends and I started a podcast a bunch of white guys talking about things we don't know anything about. That was the format for the early 2010s. Give it the old college try in 2016. I had just got a remote job, I was moving away from friends and family and I thought that podcasting would be a good way for me to stay connected and get kind of the extrovert side of me out while I was working kind of remotely away from friends and family.

Carl Richards: 5:03

And here you are today.

Joe Casabona: 5:04

Here I am today.

Carl Richards: 5:05

Eight years later and it's funny, 2009 being the first time you heard about it I think it was 2012 for me and I remember the moment when I was introduced to it. I was doing speaker training and one of my colleagues said oh, you're doing speaker training, oh, that's pretty cool, you're helping people on the stages and get better at public speaking. And he said you should do a podcast. And I remember saying at that time and tell me if this was you, what's a podcast? And even after that, even after they explained it, I'm like okay, I don't know why you're talking about me getting on this radio thing with I'm already on the radio doing this part-time speaker training thing. I don't know why you're talking about me getting on this radio thing with I'm already on the radio doing this part-time speaker training thing. I don't want to do my own like run my own radio station thing. I had no concept at all until several years later and I realized, oh, that's what it is, okay.

Carl Richards: 5:56

And now, like you, I help people on the backend, do things in the podcasting space, so it's easier for them to well, as you've, as you've indicated like, save a lot, a lot of time, otherwise people would be pulling their hair out. They'd look like me and, for the record, if you're hearing my voice, not looking at my face, you know there's not a lot on top of my head, so, but definitely it was. It was a learning curve for me as well, when I finally did get into that, get into that space. So you and I though, even though we work on the back end, you do something completely different. You're more in the automation space. So explain a little bit what that is and we'll get into the how in a minute, but not what it is. Well, okay, let's talk about what it is and why it's so important.

Joe Casabona: 6:43

Yeah. So I think maybe the most succinct way I usually put it is automation is making computers do stuff for you so you don't have to do it right. So this could be sending an email or adding some information to Notion or Airtable or whatever tool that you happen to use. If you are doing automatic bill pay for your mortgage or your rent or your electric bill or whatever you're doing.

Joe Casabona: 7:10

Automation, right, it's just like a thing that you can take out of your brain and drop in a computer so you never have to think about it. And the reason it's so important is because for anybody who's doing a podcast, who doesn't have a large team of people, they know it's a lot of work, right, just like you, carl, you know it's a lot of work and you have a bunch of people with you. But you are, you know you're not like Joe Rogan or Conan, right, where you're, you just get to talk, basically, right, I don't want to undercut like, cause they're probably still doing some research, but for people who are doing it on their own, they're doing the research and the talking and probably the editing and the publishing and the promoting, and it's a lot of stuff to think about.

Carl Richards: 7:54

And that stuff that you're talking about takes time. I have a coach that calls it or refers, refers to it as those $10 tasks, the tasks that you don't want to do but seemingly you end up doing because, well, it just seems like it'll be easier if I just do them all myself to begin with, but not even realizing that there's this thing or various tools we can use that will help us. And it's funny how you mentioned the bill payment side of things, because it's not that many years ago, if you needed to pay a bill, you had to pull out a piece of paper that was a little bit smaller than an envelope. It was called a check, and you had to not just sign it, you had to write in the date, you had to write in the amount, who it was going to. Yeah, you had to write in who it was going to, then you had to sign it, then you had to put it in an envelope.

Joe Casabona: 8:48

Little memo, right, so you know what it's for.

Carl Richards: 8:51

Right on the envelope, take it to a postal station so they can put a stamp on it and then your bill is paid. Now, as you say, it's automatically. It's been automated. You set it up to have it automatically come out of your bank account. You don't even think about it. I don't know about you, joe. I don't remember when the last time was I actually wrote a physical check. I've cashed a physical physical check in the last year. I know because every now and again I'll get a check from a client. It's rare, but if every now and again something will come by check, but the actual process of bill payments, a lot of that. Now, you're right, it's automated. So how is it working then? For a podcast, how is it you're able to save people hours in this space?

Joe Casabona: 9:40

Yeah Well, like you said, right, I think you broke it down really well with writing a check. People look at that task and they go oh OK, well, carl just made it sound a lot like it takes a lot longer than it actually does. I write out the check, I put it in an envelope, I get the stamp, I mail it, but you need to there's a lot of things, micro tasks, that happen there Make sure you're spelling the person's name right, make sure you get the amount correct, find your stamps, find your checkbook. I've been incorporated as a business for like 10 years. I just ordered new checks. Like two months ago I sent the last check out and I did that because I wanted to have a paper trail for this particular transaction. And so, yeah, there's a lot of little things in there.

Joe Casabona: 10:28

But what you're also not considering, right? I'll give you an example. I say a great way to figure out what to automate is, if you are copying information from one app to another, probably a good candidate for automation. I said that in a talk recently and someone said copying and pasting is easy. I'd rather do that than pay for a subscription to some other piece of software. Okay, fine, let's say that is the case. Someone fills out your scheduling form and then you copy and paste that information into, let's say, trello, let's say Google Sheets, whatever you prefer. So you have to stop what you're doing. Open that app, copy it, paste it into whatever other app, let's say Notion, because Notion copy and paste is like a nightmare. So you post it into Notion, make sure everything's right.

Joe Casabona: 11:21

Okay, fine, that maybe took you five minutes, except you had to stop what you were doing. You had momentum for another task. Now, at the other end of it, you have to build up momentum to start your new task. So this five minute task took 20 minutes of mental energy. Right, and that's if you remember to do it. That's the other thing. If you don't remember to do it, then it's not going to get done. A computer will do it. It'll always remember to do it and it won't take your mental energy away from more important tasks.

Carl Richards: 11:53

And the thing that's key there, too, is it's taking you away from another mental task, that there's a I can't remember the exact stat or the number but for every interruption it takes is it another 15 or 20 minutes to get back into what it is you were doing? So add a little bit more time. So, for every interruption or every whatever it is that you're thinking about and those interruptions, even if you're on task and you're pulled away, it's still, it doesn't matter, it's still the same. You have to be a very disciplined person to not lose that 15 minutes of focus, energy, right, right, mental clarity, right On whatever it is you're doing. Yeah, is this a tool that we're only going to use for, for example, that we're only going to use for social posts or their automation sequences? That we can be using for other aspects of our business as well?

Joe Casabona: 12:49

from the podcast perspective, Tons of other aspects I have. I actually did a lot as we record this. I did a live stream today where I kind of did a little show and tell in my make account makecom, formerly IntegraMAT. It's a Zapier competitor. Those are the two big like. Connect one app to another, right? So looking at the list now I'll just run through a couple of these automations.

Joe Casabona: 13:15

Right One is when someone purchases my membership. Create a private podcast feed in Transistor. Right so someone this is a task that I can't that has to happen when they make the purchase. That can't wait until I'm back at my desk. Right? If they purchase on a Friday at 7 pm and they don't get their podcast feed until 9 am on Monday like that's not, that's not a good experience, right? So that is one automation. That's not a good experience, right? So that is one automation.

Joe Casabona: 13:48

Create a Notion entry from a Google Doc right so I use Google Docs for my solo episodes and for you know, I'll talk about my interviews in a minute but, like, when I add a new document into this specific folder in Google Drive, I have Make watching that folder, copying the content and putting it into Notion so that I have a fully searchable database of all of my content. And then, because the rules of threes are really important here, I'll just do. I'll pick a third one, which is send an email to someone who applied to be on my podcast. Right, so anybody can apply to be on my podcast. Who applied to be on my podcast? Right, so anybody can apply to be on my podcast.

Joe Casabona: 14:26

Usually, when I get like those very bad pitches from people who are like hey name, I love your full name of show. Latest episode was my favorite. I love how AI summary I usually just have like a canned email that says thanks for your interest, please fill out the form here. That goes into a Notion database and then when I change the status of that application from accepted to accepted or rejected, based on that, they get an email and make sends that email out. So instead of again, this is easy, right, especially if it's the same exact text. I can have a text expander, snippet or copy and paste it, but I still have to open my email client, copy the email address in, write the email, check the subject line, send it. Now I'm just moving a Notion record from one column to another and the email gets sent out.

Carl Richards: 15:15

Wow, okay, so this is how you're able to save people a lot of time. What's the pushback you get, though? I mean, you talked about the copy and pasting, would you say. Some of the pushback is even a generational thing, where there's, uh, you know gen xers, or maybe even you know boomers who are trying to they've been accustomed to, you know, doing a lot of things manually, that they just assume it's quicker than trying to figure out the tech end of things yeah, so usually, and this, this is where, like the blending you know I'm again masters in software engineering.

Joe Casabona: 15:49

I have spent my entire adult life thinking like a computer. So like automation, I recognize, comes easy to me. So the biggest pushback I get is um, you know, do I really need to pay 20 bucks a month for Zappy or 10 bucks a month for make? Um, and to that I usually say like, let's just say this saves you one hour. Is one hour of your time worth $20 to you? I suspect it's yes, but the bigger pushback I get is around this is hard, I don't get it Right. And that's really why I moved into the, the niche I'm in. Right, I was doing a webinar and my friend, jeremy ends, introduced me.

Joe Casabona: 16:28

As you know, joe has three kids and also runs three podcasts, and there was a parent in the audience who had one of each of those things and she was like how can you do three of each? I only have one of each and I'm struggling. And that was a very crystallizing moment for me. I'm like, yes, this is where I can best serve people. So that's a lot of what I do is I help people. I'll either build the automations for them, or we'll walk through their process and I'll show you. Because the other thing is like I don't know what to automate, right, that's another big thing. You don't know what's possible until you know what's possible, sort of thing.

Carl Richards: 17:07

What can you automate? I mean, we talked about a couple of things. Are there steps that are missing or things that you can automate that a lot of people aren't aware of?

Joe Casabona: 17:12

Yeah, this is a really good question. I think what I usually tell people to do is go to Zapiercom or Makecom. There you'll be able to explore all of the apps they integrate with. You'll be able to explore all of the apps they integrate with and if you see apps that you use in that list, then you can automate something right. And the way that I tell people to think about it is if you have really clear inputs and a really clear output or an outcome, let's say, then you could probably automate that. So if I pick a different example, here's a good one. Update.

Joe Casabona: 17:50

So I have a full podcast planner in Notion, with different statuses. It builds a Kanban board so I can see all right, I have these episodes scheduled, these are out for edit, these are ready to be scheduled. I have an automation that watches Dropbox and I make sure to name all of my files by episode number. So let's take 428. If a file with 428 is put into the needs editing folder in Dropbox, is put into the needs editing folder in Dropbox, then Make will automatically update episode number 428 in Notion to mark for out for edit and send an email to my editor. Right, this sounds complicated.

Joe Casabona: 18:37

I have been building automations basically since I started podcasting. So like very Rome wasn't built in a day situation and I did have to work with my editor to be like, hey, are you cool with this? Is this like? Does this work for your workflow? But the same thing comes on the backend. Right, he knows to upload the. We do two versions right, One that is ad supported and one for members only. When he uploads them back with the episode number, the status changes to ready for scheduling for members only. When he uploads them back with the episode number, the status changes to ready for scheduling, the members only episode gets moved into the members folder and my VA gets an email hey, these are ready for scheduling. And because of that, once I ship an edit, uh, an episode out for editing, I don't even see it again until it hits my podcast feed in overcast and I trust my editor. Right, that's another big part of it.

Carl Richards: 19:26

Well, yeah, trusting your editor is one step unto itself, right that they're going to hit things, hit the timelines and such. So it sounds like you're the solopreneur's best friend, but it also sounds like you're potentially the agency, like mine, that's working with multiple clients, that having those. I mean this is beyond SOPs. This is systems set up that allow you to be efficient regardless of what's happening. You really can't miss the mark, because the automations are always going to hit the mark. It's not. There's there's no human error that's going to oh, I forgot to send that email to so-and-so, or guy forgot to upload that for transfer that from Dropbox to Google drive or whatever it is. There's always the consistency, and it sounds like you've got it down to a science.

Joe Casabona: 20:30

Yeah, I mean mean, it's something you know, this lights me up, like I'd be sitting at events in college, uh like, uh, like a acoustic guitar singer or whatever, and like a solution would come to me and I would like you see you've seen this in like techie movies, like the social network, where, like the guy literally writes the solution on a napkin I have done that before Like this stuff really lights me. I mean, it's like it's my phone now or whatever. But, like you know, back in oh six, I was like, oh, my God, I got to write this down. Um, so like, yeah, this stuff really lights me up. I put a lot of thought into it.

Joe Casabona: 21:05

I do it a little bit on hard mode too, cause, like, coming from the web development space, I've experienced a lot of freelance web developers who would say things like I hate GoDaddy. If someone comes to me and their website's on GoDaddy, I make them move to the host I like, and I'm like that's not my philosophy. If you're happy with GoDaddy, state like, if you hate GoDaddy that much, then they are not a good client for you. I mean, that's really what it is. And so if someone comes to me and they're like I hate Notion. I prefer Airtable. I'm like all right, well, let's build these things in Airtable for you then, because there's enough friction here. I don't want to create more friction by making them move to a tool that they are unfamiliar with.

Carl Richards: 21:56

Well, you also don't want to make them do more work, right, because there's the learning curve for the new software or tool that they're using. But then there's also other aspects to that, right. So you mentioned a couple here. You mentioned Airtable, you mentioned Zapier, you've mentioned Notion. Are they equal, or are there ones that you know avoid like the plague? What's your philosophy on which one or ones that you should consider using?

Joe Casabona: 22:17

I love this question because I also love looking at tools, right, like my friend. I'm in a mastermind with my friend and he's like I'm like, oh, I was looking at this tool today and he's like, of course you were. So my base answer is very like when you ask a teacher how long does the paper need to be and they say as long as it needs to be. My base answer is whatever you are most comfortable with is the right tool for you. I will say Notion is very popular. There are a lot of templates and a lot of support for that. So I think that if you're starting somewhere and you're looking for a lot of templates and a lot of support for that, so I think that if you're starting somewhere and you're looking for a lot of kind of do-it-yourself help, you'll find a lot of do-it-yourself help on YouTube for Notion.

Joe Casabona: 23:00

Someplace Notion inexplicably falls down is built-in automations. So like they rolled this out but. But it is like we can do a whole episode on this. I'm not even going to get into it. Um, it's very bad and so like you might as well assume that notion doesn't have automations air table. However, their automations are incredible, like you can send emails when you update records in air table. So, like, if you don't want to connect a lot of things and, to be honest, like connecting a lot of things means that there are more links in the chain that could break Airtable is going to be right for you. And like there are Airtable experts out there who can really like soup up your Airtable for you. I'm very familiar with Airtable. I moved from Airtable to Notion because it worked better with me and my assistant. I miss some of those things though, like the automations. So those are the note-taking or like kind of like the planner sort of things. Right, these are like database-esque tools.

Joe Casabona: 24:07

As far as automation goes, there's three big to medium players. Zapier is the biggest one. Everyone knows Zapier. It's the biggest, it's the most expensive. It's also probably the most user-friendly it does, you know, it's got like deep roots and strong connections with other companies and so they can build in tighter integrations.

Joe Casabona: 24:32

A step down from that is makecom. I love makecom. Makecom for me was like 90% cheaper than Zapier, right, and that works for me because I understand the kind of connections you need to make and the learning curve was not as high for me as somebody who's just starting from scratch Both. Zapier has a free plan. I forget if Make does. And then right below that is Pably. I have no experience with Pably, but I've heard good things. But I would say like, if you're starting today, zapier is probably your best bet, and if you're building like five or fewer automations, the free plan is probably your best bet. And if you're building like five or fewer automations, the free plan is probably fine for you At this point. For me, like I have like Rube Goldberg machines built and so like makecom is definitely better for me.

Carl Richards: 25:20

Of course, the best answer to this question is if what Joe has said is all gobbledygook, then you need to talk to Joe, Because maybe Joe needs to become and Joe and his team need to become a member of your team to help you push this forward. Because that's what you do, is you help set these up for people so they can free up six, eight, 10, 12 hours of their life, which it's hard to get that back right. You'll never get time back, but it's so much easier when you have those tools in place. I think there's definitely some value in having a follow-up conversation about oh, who knows what, because we're both brothers to the core on a number of different things. But I wanted to give you the opportunity to pass something along to our audience. I know you've got some resources that will help people get started, so what can you share with them?

Joe Casabona: 26:14

So if you go over to podcastworkflowscom slash Carl, you will get my free automation template database. So what I would say to you here is like, even if you don't want to implement these yourself, you will see 40 automations that I use to run my business and this could generate some ideas for you. So I think it's a really good resource. It'll be over at podcastworkflowscom slash Carl.

Carl Richards: 26:41

And we'll make sure that that link is in the show notes, as well as how you can connect with Joe, his social handles, his everything related to Joe, so you can follow him and learn from him. And, of course, if you think it's time to work with Joe, then that information will be there as well. Oh, my goodness, like I said, joe, we could talk another. You know blue streak and you know still only scratch the scratch of the scratch, as it were. So Joe Casabona has been my guest today. Before I turn you loose to go save someone 12 hours worth of time just with some automation systems, I'll give you the final thought.

Joe Casabona: 27:19

All right. So if you're wondering if this is really worth it for you, I'm going to share a very brief story with you. A couple of years ago, I was unable to mow my lawn for three to four weekends in a row, which meant that I need to mow my lawn on a weekday. Weekdays include billable hours for me, and because my grass was so long and my lawnmower sucks, it took me six hours to mow my lawn, which means that mowing my lawn that one day cost me $1,200. After that, I decided to hire a lawnmower. So now I pay this guy $35 every week in the summer and I never, ever, have to think about it again.

Joe Casabona: 28:03

This is what automation can do for you. It's not about oh well, I can just do it myself. You're a capable person. You can do a lot of things yourself. It's about freeing up your time to do the most crucial of your tasks, so that you can spend the rest of your time with your family, with your friends, or playing the drums, watching Star Wars or Star Trek or whatever.
