30 Favorite Lists of 30
30 Favorite Lists of 30
Random Observation/Comment #689: So far I’ve written 150+ Lists of 30 over the past 8 years. From 30 day challenge to book to blogging to podcast.
Why this list?
My podcast is up on listsof30.com fully hosted by Substack (free!) and RSS feed distributed across Stitcher, Spotify, Pocketcasts, Apple, and Google (indexing). It only took around 2 hours to setup, so I’ll have a separate post on my journey.
Since I’m limiting it to a short series (10-15 weeks of 5-10 min recordings), I was reading through old lists and wondering what would make good content. Here’s the lists with the high level categorization.

Scheduling it into the Podcast
There’s a few approaches I thought about:
Special topics around holidays / birthday – Lists that can be boosted by sharing related to calendar timeliness (e.g. Micro-resolutions, Priceless birthday gifts, etc)
Stretch covering one category – 3 back-to-back episodes just on a special topic like crypto, covid, or productivity hacks
Days of the week coverage – Monday for macro, Wed for work-related, Fri for self-reflection – Requires an evener distribution of topics
Bringing in guests – Probably the hardest thing to do in my opinion (but the most worthwhile). I will see who’s willing to talk to me about this stuff.
I think I’m going to wing it. Currently working on the music intro/outro production value and getting some new equipment. More to come!
