313. Why I’m Pausing the Podcast — and What’s Next
After six years and more than 300 episodes, host Ellen Scanlon is pausing How to Do the Pot. In this special episode, she shares why — and what’s ahead.
Ellen breaks down what’s shifting in cannabis and podcasting, from the ban on intoxicating hemp to the podcast industry’s move toward video and bigger-budget shows.
She also revisits the episodes that defined the show, including:
The Sleep Series
The Menopause 101 series with Dr. Lauren Streicher
The Webby-nominated series on the AIDS crisis and medical cannabis
Weed & Workouts
Ellen talks about the topics she’s exploring next — women’s health, menopause, changing views on alcohol, and AI — and why they’re showing up in so many of the conversations women are having right now.
While the podcast is pausing, the conversation isn’t - you can still follow along with Ellen on Substack at https://dothepot.substack.com/.
