Podcasting the Human Way

Podcasting The Human Way is not a guide to growing your audience or choosing the perfect mic. It won’t give you tricks to hit a million downloads.

Instead, it’s a quiet, thoughtful novel about Arjun, a first-time podcaster stumbling through self-doubt, burnout, and ethical dilemmas. It’s about learning to listen — to others and to yourself — in a world that rewards noise over nuance.

If you’re looking for step-by-step tactics, this isn’t it. But if you’re someone who wonders why storytelling still matters, or what it really takes to keep creating when no one’s watching — this might be exactly the book you need.

For new podcasters, thoughtful creators, and those building something honest in an age of shortcuts — this is your invitation to begin, not with strategy, but with soul.

Podcasting the Human Way

At the heart of Podcasting The Human Way is Arjun, a first-time podcaster with no roadmap, no audience, and more questions than confidence. What begins as a simple creative project slowly becomes a personal reckoning — not with equipment or formats, but with fear, failure, and purpose.

Through Arjun’s journey, we don’t just follow the steps of building a show. We sit with him in moments of creative doubt, ethical discomfort, and quiet victories. The story unfolds through real struggles that many creators face but rarely talk about:

We watch him:

  • struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome,
  • ask uncomfortable questions about what “success” really means,
  • face ethical dilemmas about storytelling,
  • get burned out trying to keep pace,
  • reconnect with real people, not just audience metrics,
  • and slowly, steadily, learn to listen—to his guests, to his listeners, and to himself.

There are no shortcuts in Arjun’s journey, and that’s what makes this book different.

Who This Book Is For

This book isn’t for someone looking for fast growth hacks or viral content strategies. It’s for:

  • New and aspiring podcasters who want to understand what this path actually feels like—emotionally, socially, even spiritually.
  • Creators who are exhausted by productivity talk and want to rediscover meaning in their work.
  • Storytellers who believe that real stories—messy, imperfect, human—still matter.
  • Anyone who’s ever wondered: Is it worth it to keep going when the numbers don’t explode? What if I just want to make something that feels true?

      • You’ll see yourself in Arjun’s stops and starts. His late-night recording sessions. His nervous first interviews. His quiet joy when a listener writes back. His despair when things fall apart. His inner conflict between staying real and scaling fast. And the quiet, stubborn hope that keeps him going anyway.

      Because that’s the part nobody tells you about podcasting—it’s not just a tech skill or a content game.

      It’s a relationship.
      With your guests. With your audience.
      And most of all, with yourself.

A Novel That Trusts You to Find Meaning

This book doesn’t try to sound wise. It just tells a story.

In a world full of noise, it offers a space for real voices, real pauses, and real stories.

It’s for people who care. Who notice. Who want to make something that matters—even if only to a few.

And that’s what makes Podcasting The Human Way not just a book, but a companion. A quiet one. But one that might stay with you longer than you’d expect.
