Podcasting Full Time: Catching Up With Noah May & Lethal Venom

Send us Fan MailIn this reunion episode, I welcome Noah May back to the show to catch up on everything that has changed since his first appearance. Mr. May shares how his podcasting journey has grown over the past year, from hosting Lethal Venom to relaunching Southern Reads and working on Music Talks. He also talks about graduating from Auburn with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and how podcasting unexpectedly became a major part of his professional and creative life.Throughout the conversation, Mr. May and I discuss the real behind-the-scenes work of podcasting: recording hundreds of interviews, managing a massive backlog, dealing with no-shows, navigating guest expectations, and learning when to stop over-editing. We also talk honestly about the strange, funny, and frustrating parts of working with guests, assistants, PR teams, and people who do not always understand the time, energy, and professionalism required to run a podcast well.This episode also explores how podcasting can open doors that creators never expected. Mr. May shares how Southern Reads has brought authors, books, interviews, and new opportunities into his life, while I reflect on how podcasting helped me grow into speaking, comedy, international networking, and global connection. We discuss PodMatch, podcast reviews, guest outreach, episode promotion, and the difference between someone who genuinely wants to share a story and someone who only wants to pitch a product.More than anything, this conversation is a reminder that podcasting does not have to start perfectly to become meaningful. Mr. May’s story shows how a creative side project can turn into a calling, a career path, and a platform for hundreds of voices.https://noahspodcasts.com/ Website: https://coupleonukes.comExodus, Honor Your Heart, & Nulu Knives: https://www.coupleonukes.com/affiliates/Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
