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.

At Olas Media, an IVC Media Company, we help creators go from “I have an idea” to “check out my show.” We don’t just produce—we partner, plan, and guide you every step of the way.
