Epic Fail Square State Will No Longer Be a Daily Show
I thought I could do it. Create an episode a day for my podcast Square State. Let’s be honest, there are so many things happening that I would never lack content. In fact, I worried that I would have too much content to use and not enough time to share it. Instead, this experiment was an epic fail.
Epic Fail
It soon became clear pretty quickly that with all of my other projects that I was working on, that a daily podcast was just 5 shows too many a week. I found myself scrambling, unable to edit, and towards the end just forgetting to record a show until it was too late to share.
The quality fo the show suffered and I found myself feeling frustrated because I always want to give 100% to whatever project that I’m working on and it just wasn’t happening.
It was just too much.
Fortunately, I did learn a couple of things from running this experiment. There is interest in Square State. Certain episodes have high rates of listenership. I learned that there is more than enough space to share my show, my voice, and my view of life in Colorado.
What’s Next?
Well, I took a break for a week and spent some time thinking about what I wanted to communicate, share, and explore with my audience. I will share two episodes a week on Monday and Wednesdays. Typically, there will be an episode where I share a story, thoughts, or resources that people may want to have access to. The other episode will be an interview with someone from Colorado.
I will also have monthly series that will be published consecutively during the same day. I am hoping to still hit 365 episodes but just configured in a very different way.
Thank you for your patience as I’ve worked on the best way to run this show.
