Should a Podcast Use Seasons or Keep Rolling?

What if non-stop publishing is quietly killing your creativity, or is keeping a steady stream of episodes the only thing keeping you afloat? Today, we tackle one of podcasting’s most debatable questions: Should you produce in seasons or keep going all year? Jason from Bombtrack Media and Julia from The Podcast Teacher join us to share their sharp, experience-based views. Jason views seasons as an opportunity to recharge and refine, while Julia believes that steady output fosters trust and loyal listeners. Together, we make the case for both sides as we dig into burnout, batching, and how pausing or pushing through shapes growth, engagement, and creativity. This conversation offers a thoughtful examination of maintaining your podcast's strength without losing its spark.
