223 How to Take a Break (Without Your Podcast Missing a Beat)

Just One Tip from Your Podcast Performance Coach

Feeling podcast burnout?

You’re not alone. Learn how to take a break from podcasting without losing momentum or disappointing your listeners.

Taking a vacation or enjoying family time shouldn’t mean letting your podcast audience down. In this episode, I share two powerful strategies for repurposing content, so you can keep your show running even when you need a breather. Whether it’s for the holidays, a summer break, or just a hectic week, these tips will save you time and keep your listeners engaged.

Here’s what I cover:

1. Republishing Old Episodes (with a Fresh Spin): How to bring back fan favorites with a new intro and outro that make them feel relevant and fresh.
2. Creating Patchwork Episodes: Collect past golden nuggets and turn them into “best of” content with curated themes, saving you time while delivering tons of value.
3. Batching “Break” Episodes: Plan ahead so you’ve got content ready for those busy weeks or much-needed vacations.

Plus, I explain why repurposing content isn’t just about saving time—it’s about showcasing the best of your podcast while staying consistent for your audience.

If your back catalog feels more like a pile of “meh” than “must-listen,” I’ve got you covered. Check out the Podcast Tune-Up Program to realign your podcast with your business goals and create episodes that are always worth revisiting.
