Today, she runs Studio Quinze, producing up to fifteen podcasts at any given time, alongside Robyn Flynn Media. In this episode, she joins Melanie to break down what actually makes a podcast work — from the most undervalued skill in the medium (microphone technique) to why over-scripted corporate podcasts fail, how to repurpose a single episode into weeks of content, and what genuinely drives a clip to go viral. The conversation also goes deeper, into the online harassment Robyn has faced as a public voice in sports media, how she has built the boundaries and resilience needed to keep showing up authentically, and how she thinks about privacy, consent, and public visibility in an always-online world. 📖 Full show notes and episode transcript available at [EPISODE LINK] If this episode brought anything up for you: 1800RESPECT — 1800 737 732 | Lifeline — 13 11 14 | Beyond Blue — 1300 22 4636 | Blue Knot Foundation — 1300 657 380 International: RAINN, Crisis Text Line, findahelpline.com 🌿 Join The Motivate Collective community for more conversations, events, and resources built around growth, wellness, and conscious living: www.motivatecollective.com 💛 Support the show: paypal.me/differentlivingmsw 🎧 HumanCharger discount — code THEMOTIVATECOLLECTIVE Tags: podcasting, content creation, social media strategy, storytelling, media production, online harassment, sports broadcasting, personal branding, digital privacy Category: Health & Fitness > Mental Health (alt: Education > Self-Improvement) Author: The Motivate CollectiveExplicit Rating: Clean
