Podcaster Tips

Podfading is a term that describes a phenomenon of ending a podcast show abruptly or a podcast that seems to be updated less frequently as time goes by and then totally fade afterwards. The reasons for a podcast to podfade depends on many circumstances that its producer or host encountered.

I’ve got a very insightful write-up about podfading that was discussed by Jason Van Orden. His thoughts about podfading made me realized that the longevity of a podcast show really depend on the podcaster’s purpose why he or she created that podcast. A show that was created for a purpose of just jumping on the bandwagon may likely to podfade especially if the podcast is lacking a concrete objective to sustain the show in the future.

Your motivation and purpose are the major factors why some podcasts podfade.  There are also few podcasts that podfaded because the cost they incurred in podcasting can no longer be compensated. And truly, there are many podcasts shows that come and goes after every now and then but perhaps those podcasts who are still here are the one that are created by strong willed podcasters with definite objectives.
