I don't host one, but I listen to a number of podcasts on a regular basis now. I am continually amazed at the commitment of people who put out a new show every week. I know how much work goes into that process - planning, interviewing, editing, posting, and promoting. It's nuts, and I don't understand how people sustain that weekly for years at a time.
I've seen enough hosts burn out now that I hope everyone who starts a podcast goes in with a realistic plan for managing burnout. I would rather listen to a biweekly podcast that I know is more sustainable than a weekly podcast where I'm wondering how much of a toll this is taking on the hosts. If you have the energy and content to do a weekly show, that's great, but I hope you can plan in some longer breaks for when the burnout comes.
Good luck, there are piles of podcasts out there but good new ones are started all the time as well. There's room for many more. :)
- ambivalents 6y agoThanks, this is helpful to keep in mind. I somewhat arbitrarily decided I needed to do 2 per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays (why? who knows!). Perhaps I will dial it back and take the time to just make the best one I can every week or so.
