While the significant number of listeners makes podcasts look very attractive, Worse, there are many dead podcasts, too – as podcasters abandoned them in between. Out of all the global podcasts, less than 50% are active, meaning only half of the shows had a new episode published this year.

Hey, friend– 

Today’s episode of the Creative Cast is a SPECIAL one! You see, today I turn 50! What? 

Yes - yours truly has hit the big 5-0! I’m not like others who say my age is younger than it is! Nope. I earned each of these years, all 50 of them! I’m proud of them and y’all - it sure beats the alternative, right?

When I started thinking about how to celebrate my birthday on the podcast - I decided it needed to be quite different today in honor of such a milestone.

So I invited my friend, social media extraordinaire, and fellow Queso lover,  Melody Belotte, to help me celebrate, and she’s taking over the show today! 

Some things that Melody and I discussed:

• How my younger days as a gymnast prepared me to be a helpful podcast coach.

• Sometimes you need to look back so you can go forward! 
• What I want you to remember about me in 50 years and much more!

Hey, friend– 

A few weeks ago, during one of the coaching calls, one of my clients mentioned she was thinking of ending her podcast. As we talked through, she realized where she was headed next. 

It’s not something we like to think about for our podcast; however, it's a common question that podcasters ask when they don’t see much growth or decreasing downloads!

Here is the truth about podcasts – They won’t all survive. Some will be a victim of podfade. No podcast is meant to last forever. 

The ongoing question for podcast hosts and producers to ask when thinking of pulling the plug is whether a show is on its way up, sideways, or out.  

In today’s episode, I take a deep dive into why it might be time to wrap up your podcast, seek out some help, or just rebrand your podcast! 

• Do you still have the passion, the fire for your podcast when you launched it?
• Has your podcast come to a natural end? 
• My top tip if it is time to wrap up your podcast
• It’s time to change direction and MUCH MORE!
