Podcasting Insights: growth advice for people and brands

What the end of Marc Maron's WTF means for YOU


Listen Later

There’s a lesson quietly looming for every podcaster right now, and it comes from a place no one really expected: Marc Maron's WTF podcast is ending.

Yes, the granddaddy of indie podcasting—the guy who not only defined the space for a generation, but who made even the President stop by his garage—has finally called it quits, citing burnout.


That’s not just 'big news' for the podcasting industry, it’s a full warning bell for anyone invested in building their own show.


You want to know what this means for you, and—crucially—how to avoid letting your own podcast become the next long-form collapse?


In this episode, I get right into what the end of WTF really signals for indie creators, where Maron went wrong, and most importantly, how you can avoid burning out or falling off the map yourself.
