    Jan 20 2026
    In this special episode, recorded live from Podfest 2026 in Orlando, FL at the Renaissance Marriott Hotel near SeaWorld, I was able to gather several attendees who are in the legal world—lawyers and legal industry marketers—to talk about why lawyers should podcast and more! 🎙️ Our roundtable features Dennis "DM" Meador (Legal Podcast Network), Louis Goodman (Love Thy Lawyer), Robert Ingalls (Lawpods), Wendy Wittner (The Writing Guru), and Elizabeth Gearhart (Passage to Profit / Gearhart Law), each bringing deep experience in podcasting, legal marketing, and personal branding for lawyers. We discuss practical, no-fluff insights about how lawyers can use podcasting to build authority, strengthen SEO, show up in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and connect more authentically with clients and referral sources. Whether you are tech-curious, tech-comfortable, or completely new to podcasting, this episode will help you decide if starting a podcast makes strategic sense for your practice or business. QUESTIONS WE DISCUSS 🎯 Join Dennis, Louis, Robert, Wendy, Elizabeth, and me as we discuss the following three questions and more! Why should lawyers be podcasting in 2026 and beyond, especially with Gen Z and Gen Alpha getting so much of their trusted information from podcasts and social platforms?What is one of the first concrete steps a lawyer should take if they are seriously considering launching a podcast of their own?What is one of the biggest mistakes lawyers should watch out for when launching a podcast, and how can they avoid becoming a "zombie podcast" that dies after a few episodes? 🧟‍♂️ Additional themes we explore include: How podcasting acts as an "electronic resume" and trust-building tool for lawyers.How podcasts can drive SEO, get you discovered in LLMs like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, and generate traffic to your law firm website.Why your podcast does not always need to be "about the law" to be effective for your legal brand.How to balance authenticity (including salty language) with your professional brand and ethics rules.
