How to prevent Podfading. How do Podcasters keep going?

I hate to do this in an active thread, but brian, could you PM me? Got an idea for you

Its totally possible to return back after "Podfading" but your audience might take a hit

"Podfading" does not have to be permanent. A planned hiatus that is announced in advanced and FOLLOWED is not podfading.

-Mike,

I totally agree. That is why I really do not consider taking a vacation to be the same as "podfading". One is pre-planned, the other is just about loosing interest and having other things that take up your time where you stop communicating with your audience about what you are doing and if/when you will be back.

I just got an email from someone who has been podcast for 4 years and today they are considering stopping the show They never missed a show and eventually just got tired of doing the show. I convinced him to take two weeks off and see how he feels then. I take off 1 week every 3 months and it helps a lot.
