Show notes

There is pressure to always “do more” as a podcast host. Add video, create more short-form content, and before you know it, your workload becomes overwhelming. That can lead to podcast burnout and eventually podfade. Thankfully, you don't have to do it all! In this episode, Dan LeFebvre shares how to track the time you spend producing your podcast so you can decide if adding video is worth it and know when to say “not now.” Get ready to protect your time and keep podcasting for years to come!
