If you're trying to decide whether to release your podcast week-by-week or in seasons, this episode is for you. I answer a listener question about the pros and cons of podcast seasons and share why batching and taking breaks can actually help your show survive long term, even if it means slower growth. This is especially helpful if podcasting isn’t your full-time job and you’re trying to keep your show going alongside the juggle of everything else. 💡 What you’ll learn: • The pros and cons of releasing your show in seasons • How seasons can help you avoid burnout and plan better • When releasing episodes weekly might be the better choice • Why batching episodes in advance is a smart strategy • What to expect from audience growth when your podcast feed goes quiet EPISODE CREDITS: Host: Rachel Corbett Editing Assistance: Josh Newth LINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF: Download my free podcasting guide (https://www.podschool.com.au/podcast-guide) Check out my online podcasting course, PodSchool (https://podschool.com.au/) Click here to submit a question to the show (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWepoep0HgIN1Fm5AZa5qyJ1NC5FDS0OVXNotbbdytSsHM1g/viewform?usp=sf_link) Email me: rachel@rachelcorbett.com.au Follow me: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/_rachelcorbett/) , Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RachCorbett) , X (https://www.twitter.com/RachelCorbett) , LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/rachelcorbett1) , YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/UCgUsLDEldBkYVF3mimdLsIw) , TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@rachelcorbettpodschool) or check out my blog (https://rachelcorbett.com.au/blog/) or the PodSchool website (https://podschool.com.au/) .
