Every time I plan something live, I hit the same wall.
A launch needs a page. A webinar needs a page. Weekly office hours need a page. Each one gets built, promoted, and then goes stale the day after the event.
The link in the graphic stops working. The replay lives somewhere else. The people who showed up are scattered across three different forms.
That is a lot of work to throw away every single week.
So for the PodGlue launch on June 4, I didn't want a launch page. I wanted a home for everything live we will ever do.
That's podglue.com/live.
It is one URL that knows what state it is in. Before the event, it shows the date, the agenda, and a place to register. When we go live, the same page flips to a live badge and the video. After it's over, it becomes the replay. When nothing is scheduled, it quietly collects people who want to know about the next one.
Same link. Every time. The graphic I post today still works in October.
Here is the part I care about most.
You register once, with your first name and email, and the video unlocks right there on the page. No new account. No second hoop. Come back later from the reminder email and it remembers you.
That registration is not a dead end. It drops you into the same relationship system the rest of PodGlue runs on, so the conversation can continue after the stream ends.
A live event should start a relationship, not just rack up a view count.
What's next is the easy part now, which is the whole point.
The next webinar and the first weekly office hours don't need a developer. They are the same page with a different event behind it. Turn the album feature off, swap the agenda, point it at a new video.
The launch was never supposed to be the finish line. It's the first thing this page does, not the only thing.
If you want to see it work, the launch is June 4 at podglue.com/live. Register once, watch on the page, and stick around for whatever we run next. That's PodGlue.

The Calendar That Went Blank on My Own Show
My scheduled posts were sitting right there in the database. The calendar showed me nothing. The reason it broke was the one thing I'm proudest of: a very long back catalog.
Is It You, or Is It Us?
When something feels off with your show, you don't want an apology. You want one honest answer: is it me, or is it them? PodGlue now has a page for exactly that.
Our Homepage Was Too Clever. So We Rewrote All of It.
We described PodGlue like a pitch deck instead of a tool. A busy podcaster does not want a philosophy. They want their Saturday back. So we rewrote the whole homepage to say what it actually does.
