Hey again!
I’ve been battling with my dog this week as he decides that crying in his crate at 4 am is a fun thing to do… What are you going to do? The good news is we dusted off the microphones over at Generally Spooky History and recorded some listener ghost stories. It always feels great to connect with listeners personally like this. On to the content!

Want professional-sounding audio? You need Auphonic.
Brandon from the Mad Fientist podcast recommended Auphonic to me before Eilidh and I started Generally Spooky History. It was a game-changer.
It meant that our audio sounded professional from day one, even with no experience in audio production. It automatically boosts and levels all the audio while removing background noise so your voice rings out true.
I’ve subscribed to the monthly S package for almost 3 years now.
Not Keeping up with Your Podcast Schedule? Here’s What to Do
Take a break.
You deserve one.
Publishing content every single week or even every two weeks can be an exhausting task. And trying to keep up with it can feel like digging a hole at the beach while the tide comes in. Every time you make progress, you realize you’re back to where you started.
So what can you do?
Well, for starters, you can take a break. You deserve one.
My wife and I just took a 2-month break away from our podcast. After a stressful year, we were completely burned out. We couldn’t face sitting down and hitting record, something that was fun was becoming a burden.
So we stopped.
And guess what?
We still managed to get 14,500 downloads in 2 months without any new content. We’ve even had lovely messages from people who are missing us and are excited to come back.
Plus we’ve had more Patreon subscribers join because they needed to fill the void our absence has left!
So if you’re struggling to keep up with the content, consider a break. Your audience will respect it, and the re-energising you get might just be what it takes to get back on the horse with confidence.
