Many podcasters sharing their experiences talk about "Podfade" (otherwise known as "podcaster burnout") as something to avoid at all costs for fear of failure.

Whatever failure could mean in podcasting, anyway.

Burnout can also hit the podcast professionals as well, in a world where competing with AI means we have to keep adding more and more to our offering. So what can we do?

This is the third foundational episode of this podcast as an introduction to me, Matthew Bliss, the host of RE:Thinking Podcasting through sharing with you my career, a bit of my life and how my thinking has changed on my podcasting journey so far.

In this episode I talk about the nature of podcasting today from my perspective as an editor & producer, how much value is in the podcasting process and what I've learned from working in the red zone of burnout.
