There are a lot of studies on how podcasting can benefit listeners when it comes to their mental health, but this isn’t the case when it comes to the creators behind the podcasts. And that’s more than a little disconcerting. Because podcasting can be such a lonely endeavour, this only exacerbates the issues someone might be going through that are multiplied when their anxieties about their podcast start to take over.For those that are suffering, it’s often in silence. Even though it’s 2023, mental health still carries a stigma around it - according to the American Psychiatric Association, more than half of people with mental illness don’t receive help. A lot of this can come down to the fact that people are so unwilling to talk about it - going back to that belief they're weak, or there must be something wrong with them and only them. Or, worse of all, they believe it's "all in their head" because they've been told that often enough.This is where talking about mental health, and encouraging open conversations around the topic industry-wide, can be an important step forward in recognizing the loneliness and fear that can come with podcasting.Support the show: <a href="https://www.podchatnews.com/p/become-a-premium-supporter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become a Premium Member</a> for ad-free early access, exclusive live streams, and more.Contact me:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:danny@dannybrown.me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">danny@dannybrown.me</a>Products I use for Pod ChatNote: these contain affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage of any product you buy/use when using my link.My equipment:<ul><li><a href="https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm7b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shure SM7B dynamic mic</a></li><li><a href="https://rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-series/rodecaster-pro-ii" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rodecaster Pro II production studio</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3JUtJVn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor Headphones</a></li><li><a href="https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-mic-arm-lp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elgato Wave Mic Arm Low Profile</a></li></ul> Recommended resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=dannybrown2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Captivate.fm</a></li><li><a href="https://boomcaster.com?fpr=dannybrown" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boomcaster remote interviewing</a></li><li><a href="https://poddin.io" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Poddin transcripts</a></li><li><a href="https://reel.so/?via=3DW0OVDL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reel.so audiogram creator</a></li></ul> Mentioned in this episode:Enjoy Pod Chat?
