In this episode, we’re diagnosing and treating your case of what podcasters call “pod-fade”.
I’ve put my equivalent of a doctors stethoscope, which will be an XLR mic cable and my headphones on to mimic one of those mirror things doctors used to wear back in the day … and we’re gonna diagnose the problem of pod fade.
Pod-fade is when the honeymoon period of podcasting dies and the effort to produce a show becomes tiresome or monotonous and leaves you with a feeling of wanting to take a break or stopping your show entirely. Most likely taking a break with the ambition to bring it back.
Some symptoms:

Organising guests or co-host timing to record
Editing your episodes yourself when they are longer than 30 minutes
Not keeping up with posting content to let people know about your podcast
Running out of ideas to talk about
A lack of motivation about a drop in numbers or a low number of listeners tuning in consistently throughout.

Some tactics to avoid pod-fade:

Batch record your episodes
Keep your episode length to a manageable length
Hire an editor to edit your show
Utilise seasons
Have someone create your social media content
Change up the format over time
Develop a system that makes it as easy as possible to produce your show.

So let’s take that burden off our shoulders and work out a way to overcome that dreaded pod-fade and ensure we make it a great experience for ourselves as hosts, just as much as we strive to do for our listeners.
