In a way it doesn't matter WHY you were away, but you started a podcast and were consistent in your schedule, until you weren't. 

Life happened and what was supposed to be a few days turned into a few weeks, maybe months, or even years. 

Now you want to come back, but you feel a bit weird. Maybe a bit embarrassed that you started and then just vanished. Don't be. 

I haven't bowled in years. I have a ball and bag around here somewhere and if I walk into an Alley to score some games, nobody cares that it has been decades.

Go back to the basics. 

Identify why you're podcasting.

Identify who this is for and what they need.

Identify what you want them to do. 

Give them what they want, ask for what you need,

and don't be being.
