Pure creativity: closing the book on Product Tales
Table of Contents
A product person’s soul isn’t fed by vibe-coding and agents alone. I’ve finally—however sad that sounds—reached the point of closing the project. It’s time to draw a line: the content has been ready for ages, yet it never quite made it out into the world. The first, only, and apparently final season of Product Tales has come to its logical end.
Three episodes of Product Tales
Here are three releases at once: episodes 8, 9, and 10 are up on the usual listening platforms.
All I can say about this project is that I built it with real product heart. I followed the classic solopreneur loop: had an idea → made the content → brought in contractors to polish it → shipped and saw the result → now I’m deciding what to do with the project next.
I hope listening was as engaging for you as building it was for me. Across the run, the characters ran into all sorts of trouble—mostly product-shaped, of course. If I ever continue, it’ll only be because I want to myself, or because the community sends a clear signal. So either new product tales are almost here—or they never come back. ;)
A Product Tales post-mortem
Product Tales was pure creative work. Maybe I lacked creative stamina or marketing muscle, or consistency in shipping. Still, I’m glad to have a small product podcast of my own in an odd fairytale-meets-tech setting. It started casually in a chat where I came up with the idea—and never even sent it to the person I was talking to.
What I noticed:
- I still don’t really know how to promote a podcast beyond my own channels;
- how something this creative could be monetized;
- what to do with it next.
It’s time to say goodbye to the project and fully move on to new things—so this one doesn’t drain energy, attention, or mental fuel even in the background. It was genuinely thrilling to make something that hadn’t existed before: to bring characters to life who struggled in front of my eyes. From here on, I consider Product Tales a closed, finished project.
