E864 - National Podcast Post Month and the Mega Feed

Episode 864 - National Podcast Post Month and the Mega Feed National Podcast Post Month and the Mega Feed Dave explains National Podcast Post Month, a November challenge where podcasters publish 30 episodes in 30 days. Participants can add their shows to the event’s Mega Feed, a shared feed that collects new episodes from many creators in one place. The feed includes every kind of podcast, from business shows to short daily updates, without curation. How the Mega Feed Works The Mega Feed gives listeners one place to discover podcasts from people taking part in the challenge. Each day, new episodes from multiple creators appear in the same feed. Dave shares the link in the show notes for the 2026 edition and encourages podcasters who want more exposure to check it out. Because the feed is open and uncurated, listeners will encounter a wide range of voices and formats. For podcasters, it creates a simple way to reach new audiences while participating in the daily publishing challenge. Why Dave Opted Out Dave is publishing about 90 episodes across his podcasts during November, so he chose to keep his episodes on his regular feeds rather than add them to the Mega Feed. He does not want to take up too much space in a shared feed that other creators are using. He has also prepared his existing audience for the higher volume of episodes this month. His choice shows that podcasters can join National Podcast Post Month without changing their normal distribution strategy. Another Option for Podcasters The Mega Feed offers a separate distribution channel for creators who do not want to flood their main podcast feed with 30 extra episodes. A podcaster can publish challenge episodes through the Mega Feed while keeping their regular show schedule intact. Dave says it is still possible to join, and the National Podcast Post Month page in the show notes includes instructions for adding a podcast. He invites participants to tell him about their challenge through howtopodcast.ca, YouTube comments, or messages. He wants to listen to shows outside the Mega Feed and support creators taking on the challenge. National Podcast Post Month gives podcasters a structured way to publish daily, and the Mega Feed offers an optional discovery channel for creators who want to reach new listeners without overwhelming their regular audience.
