Do you ever feel like your podcast is getting a bit stale or sometimes you just struggle to get the motivation to record that next episode?

Once you've committed to a podcast it can feel like this never-ending thing and when you're creating episodes week in, week out, it can feel like it's starting to get a bit repetitive. And finding the right guests or topics to talk about can be a challenge.

But what if podcasting didn't have to be like that?

I'm joined by Cheryl Drury in this episode. Cheryl started her podcasting journey around a year ago to share her fascinating story of re-fitting a sail boat, but once that story had been told she had to decide where to take things next.

She now hosts Crack The Book, where she brings us along on a new journey, and her genuine love for podcasting, combined with her vision for sharing these stories as a complete piece, offers a refreshing outlook on podcasting that every podcaster can get value from - whether your podcast is a business asset or a hobby.

We cover in this episode:

• The secret sauce that every podcast needs for it to be sustainable.

• How to pivot your podcast without losing all your listeners.

• What podcasting can do for you personally.

• How to love podcasting again.

• How to make a podcast work for your business while still being an enjoyable experience.

• And much more…

This is an inspiring and motivating conversation that might just make you rethink a few things when it comes to podcasting.
