Question 2:  When is it time to pod-fade a show? How would I go about doing that? Answer 2: When it’s no longer fun, profitable, or you have no time to do a good show. When you have run out of motivation is also a good time to kill a show.  How? Easy, just stop doing it. If you want to remove it from the internet, good luck! Once something is out there, it’s going to be hard to make it go away completely. You can turn off your hosting though. May be time to release a goodbye episode and leave that up for some time. I also have a feed you can redirect your show to that explains that this show is no longer available.  Feel free to use it.  Just redirect your feed to: https://feeds.blubrry.com/feeds/deadshow.xml  ______________ Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show?
