Bored with Podcasting?
Here’s How to Tell if It’s Time to Quit Your Podcast

 

Are you still in love with our podcast… or are you getting kind of bored? Before you kick your podcast to the curb, let’s take a step back and see if there is any reason to salvage it.

I get how you feel. Sometimes, your feelings about your podcast change.

It can be kind of like a love affair. Your podcast journey starts with a passionate spark. You’re brimming with excitement, nervousness, and pure joy. You pour your heart and soul into each episode, connecting with your audience week after week. But then, slowly, that initial fire begins to fade. You wonder if the magic is gone; if it’s even worth the effort anymore. The dreaded “breakup” thought starts creeping in.

I recently had a client reach out to me for this exact reason. He was several hundred episodes in and he could no longer deny that he wasn’t feeling the love. But, was he really ready to throw it all away? I’m glad he came to me because we were able to stoke the fires and he’s back in love with his show.

 

So before you say Sayonara, give your podcast one more chance. It is possible to rekindle your podcast love story. I think we need to talk…

The Podcast Boredom Blues

How do you know you’re facing a temporary dip or a full-blown case of podcast boredom? It might look like this:

  1. Phoning it in: Recording feels like a chore. You’re not bringing your A-game energy and enthusiasm.
  2. The “Meh” Factor: You question your podcast’s purpose. Is it generating leads? Boosting your business? Or is it just floating out there in podcast purgatory?
  3. Comparison Trap: You compare yourself to others, feeling discouraged by their seemingly effortless success. Remember, everyone’s podcast journey is unique.

Before You Say Goodbye…

Okay, so you’re feeling the podcast blahs. Before you throw in the towel, take a step back and ask yourself some tough questions:

  1. What has it done for you lately? Remember, your podcast should be feeding your business with leads and boosting your authority (think speaking invitations or faster sales cycles). At the very least, it should be helping your website’s SEO. So, what has it done for you lately? (evoking a Janet Jackson beat was intentional – you’re welcome for that earworm).
  2. Is it you or the podcast? Have you put in the effort to make the relationship work? Are you aligning your podcast with your business and attracting the right listeners? Are you showing up with intention in each episode?
  3. It’s You (Probably) Listen, if your podcast is boring you, not serving you, or taking up too much time, it’s on you. Sorry, but right now, you need a bit of tough love.

The Road to Rekindling the Love

So, do you want to save this podcast relationship? Do you want to turn things around and get back to loving your show? Then you need to put in the work.

Think of it as podcast counseling. You need a coach to help you see what’s not working, iron out the kinks, and get your show back to being not only fun and exciting but also a powerful marketing tool for your business. Now that’s a passion you can get behind, right?
