In Episode 108: Striped Donkeys and Unicorns of I Just Wanted to Push Record, JC and Lina hilariously unpack the realities of podcast production—from clients who think three episodes equals fame to logos that miss the mark harder than a painted donkey in Tijuana.
Yes, a painted donkey. JC compares early podcasts to those tourist “zebras” in Tijuana—cute on the outside, chaos underneath. Meanwhile, Lina shares what it’s really like working with clients who want a show, but have no audience, no name, and no idea what they’re actually creating.
It’s funny because it’s true.
But underneath the laughter is real wisdom: a successful podcast isn’t just about pushing record. It’s branding, strategy, format, audience-building, and consistent promotion. It’s a unicorn, not a donkey in stripes.
