Podcast + Content

A healthcare podcast past a million.

A professional membership organization in oncology care wanted to deepen engagement, deliver continuing education, and open a new sponsorship channel. They needed a podcast. I built one, end to end, and kept it on the air.

Client: Oncology membership organization
Role: Lead producer, host, monetization
Format: Weekly expert-interview series
Outcome: 1M+ downloads, sustained ad revenue

01 / Overview

An engaged community without a podcast to match.

The organization served a sizeable, engaged community of oncology professionals. They were looking for new ways to connect with that community, deliver continuing education, and generate revenue through ad sales.

I played a critical role in the podcast's formation and success, handling content development, production, distribution, and monetization from inception to milestone achievement.

02 / The Challenge

Start a podcast. Don't just start a podcast.

Launching a new show meant solving five things in parallel:

Concept development: a format that would engage and educate oncology professionals.
A routine: a consistent production schedule to maintain momentum and audience interest.
Production: recording, editing, and distribution at a quality the audience deserved.
Promotion & growth: building a listener base through real marketing, not just "we posted it."
Revenue: ad sales and CE tie-ins that made the show financially sustainable.

03 / Our Approach

Structured. Staffed. Shipped.

Format & Content Planning

Developed the vision and format around expert interviews, clinical insights, and emerging trends. Built a content calendar for consistent, high-value episodes. Outlined core topics tied to oncology career growth.

Guest Sourcing & Interview Management

Identified and secured subject matter experts from across the oncology field. Tailored interview questions per guest. Coordinated scheduling and pre-interviews for a seamless production flow.

Production & Distribution

Managed recording, editing, and post-production for high audio quality. Set up distribution through LibSyn, ensuring availability on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Wrote detailed episode descriptions and social assets.

Promotion & Engagement

Leveraged social media, email newsletters, and print publications to promote episodes. Integrated the show with the organization's continuing education platform so listeners could earn CE credits. Monitored analytics and adjusted promo strategies on the fly.

Monetization & Sponsorship

Collaborated with in-house teams to define the advertising model, integrating sponsored reads that aligned with the show's educational focus and audience interests.

Thinking about a podcast?

Most fail because they launch without a plan past episode three. Let's talk about what a show that actually lasts looks like for your audience.
