Should I release my entire podcast seasons at once?

Your Podcast Consultant

I saw this question from Stanley Adoyi in a Facebook group and thought I'd use it today. If you have a question you can leave it at www.podcastconsultant.com/voicemail

Seasons makes sense in two situations:

1. You have a team of 19 flying around the world to do interviews and they are tried.

2. You are having so much mental stress that your health and family are affected (and maybe should have thought a little more about your podcast schedule before launch).

If you're not in the above two situations, what you are doing is taking your slot in someone's routine and hoping the show they put in YOUR SLOT isn't better than yours. Cause when you come back, if your show isn't better, you're not getting that slot in their routine back.

It's not like they get in the car to go to work and say, "Oh Stanley doesn't have a show today. I'll guess I'll drive to work in silence."

When I travel, I plan ahead, record two episodes instead of one, and time release. For me (again, not having those two situations above) I've never missed a Monday in 19 years.

But I Do Have Seasons For My Podcast

In that situation, I would not recommend releasing them all at once. When you do, sure your audience can binge, but they can't talk about it with anyone because of spoilers.

Google likes it when you release quality content on are regular basis. So this is another reason not to release your podcast season all at once.

If you're audience is all listening to the latest episode, they can talk about it with each other and ask the most important question, "I wonder what is going to happen next."

Avoid Podcast Burnout

So many people put themselves on track to burnout because they didn't plan their podcast accordingly. I can help you with that, and make sure your show stays consistent in schedule but also in content. I'd love to see what we can do together.
