What the end of Marc Maron's WTF means for YOU

There’s a lesson quietly looming for every podcaster right now, and it comes from a place no one really expected: Marc Maron's WTF podcast is ending. Yes, the granddaddy of indie podcasting—the guy who not only defined the space for a generation, but who made even the President stop by his garage—has finally called it quits, citing burnout. That’s not just 'big news' for the podcasting industry, it’s a full warning bell for anyone invested in building their own show. You want to know what this means for you, and—crucially—how to avoid letting your own podcast become the next long-form collapse? In this episode, I get right into what the end of WTF really signals for indie creators, where Maron went wrong, and most importantly, how you can avoid burning out or falling off the map yourself.Timestamped Summary00:00 Marc Maron's Podcasting Lessons03:53 Podcasting Burnout Highlighted by Security Incident06:21 Outsource Podcast Editing for Efficiency09:51 Podcast Exit Strategy Challenges15:15 Batching Themed Episodes: Market Opportunity18:13 Maximizing Podcast Content Value20:28 Turn Critics into AlliesMentioned in this episode:A Podknows ProductionPodknows helps brands and creators to build their podcasts into virtual sales and marketing teams which get them results even when they're sleeping.

Om Podcasten

Are you a brand or individual who's looking to improve and grow your podcast? You're in the right place. Together, we'll help you attain 'podmastery'. Podcasting is such a complex medium, with so many factors that can impact your success. It's my goal to cover all these topics with you, and help you maximise the results you're getting from your efforts. My name is Neal Veglio and I've been in the podcasting game since 2001, when I became the first person in the UK to upload audio of my then radio show online, and generate an audience. This audience followed me throughout my radio career and engaged with my various other podcasts. But it wasn't always easy. And when I took a career break from radio for a few years in 2007, I had to learn how to build audience without the lift of an FM frequency. I learned a lot from that experience. I now help other podcasters to achieve their goals through my company Podknows Podcasting. Each episode, I'll be offering you some insights into what I've done and what I've helped my clients do with our podcasts in the hope we can help YOU increase your podcast's chances of becoming more successful! And ensuring you can avoid the dreaded 'podfade'!This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policy
