Like all creators, serious podcasters need to take care of themselves. Sometimes that means taking time for yourself. Sometimes it means adjusting priorities to make the creative process better. I'm doing both! Hello and welcome to the announcement of my Long Winter's Nap away from Podcast Pontifications with me, Evo Terra!If you're brand new to the podcast; welcome! This is a very special episode letting you know what long-time listeners of the show know already: I'm on a scheduled mid-season break. That means you'll not hear a new episode of Podcast Pontifications until January 4th, 2022.Yes, I know that sounds like an incredibly long time. But I assure you; it's not. So pretty please, with sugar on it, stick around. New episodes will resume shortly. In the meantime, my full back catalog of over 500 episodes are on display for you PodcastPontifications.com. If you click on the "Episodes about" link at the top of the page, you'll see I've grouped all of them together for you by category.So if you want to think more about podcast accessibility, I have lots of episodes for you to explore.Or perhaps you want to bone up on current thinking around listener experience. That's always important. And you'll even find episodes there that'll help you think through ways to take care of yourself as a podcaster.Speaking of self-care once again, that's why I take this mid-season break each and every year. Putting out daily episodes of my podcast is a job. It's a fun job, but it's also a hard job. And just one of the jobs that I have. So a scheduled season break is warranted.And just so we're clear: I'm not really napping during this time. I'm actively recording new content so that when January 4th 2022 rolls around, I'll have a wealth of episodes ready to get to you without delay.So again, don't worry if you do not hear from me for the next few weeks. That'll change soon enough and soon I'll be back to giving you plenty to think about as you work on making podcasting better. So once again, I shall be back on January 4th, 2022 with yet another Podcast Pontifications.Cheers!-----Get more podcasting insights from Evo Terra on Twitter as they come.Return the value-for-value of the podcasting wisdom of this episode and more at PodcastPontifications.com/value-4-value.And if you need a professional in your podcasting corner, see how Simpler Media Productions can help you reach your business objectives with podcasting.Allie Press assists with the production and transcription of the show.Podcast Pontifications publishes four times a week to provide ideas and ask questions every working podcaster should be thinking about.Photo by Blake Meyer on
