We're chatting about big names like Marc Maron and others who decided to call it quits and how that’s not just okay, but totally legit.

I’ll sprinkle in some sarcasm and laughs as we explore the absurdity of it all—because let’s face it, if we can’t laugh at our struggles, what’s the point, right? If you've been thinking about starting a podcast but feel it's too crowded, realize all those podcasters who started back in 2005 might be being pulled in new directions that have them thinking about podcast retirement.Takeaways:<ul><li> Creative projects can sometimes feel like an endless cycle of stress and burnout. </li><li> It's totally okay to step back from podcasting if it stops being fun for you. </li><li> Many successful podcasters have experienced burnout, and it's a common issue in the industry. </li><li> Managing expectations is crucial; don't expect overnight success when building an audience. </li><li> Life changes, like welcoming a new baby, can drastically affect your podcasting ability and energy. </li><li> Always remember: adding responsibilities means subtracting your fun, so be careful what you take on. </li></ul> Mentioned In This Show<a href="https://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1648-john-mulaney" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marc Maron Announces He's Ending the WTF Show</a><a href="https://thefeed.libsyn.com/295-wwdc-news-for-podcasters-automated-podcast-ads-open-to-all-and-saying-goodbye-to-wtf-with-marc-maron" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rob Walch Talks Marc Maron on the Feed</a><a href="https://podcasttalentcoach.com/all-things-come-to-an-end-ptc-550/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Erik K Johnson End Podcast Talent Coach</a><a href="https://youtu.be/7DKv5H5Frt0?si=l4spwyuu7CJuvUkM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTuber Tom Scott Says Goodbye 6.5M Subscribers</a><a href="https://youtu.be/8R1_TqU68yo?si=cT7cMEfkeKSywE6q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTuber The Game Theorist Says Goodbye 19.6M Subscribers</a><a href="https://youtu.be/Ps95TCQBa4Q?si=3YbCjrgdfdPSSAlt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTuber Caylus says goodbye to 18.7M Subscribers</a><a href="https://schoolofpodcasting.com/what-makes-this-podcast-great-marc-maron-edition/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Makes This Show Ggreat? - Marc Maron Edition sop705</a><a href="https://www.myspousehasdementia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Spouse Has Dementia Show with Zita Christian</a><a href="https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/15-regrets-from-15-years-of-professional-podcasting-episode-394/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daniel J.
