In this episode, I’m answering a question I get all the time: Should your podcast have seasons, or should you just keep publishing episodes week after week with no breaks? If you’ve been stuck overthinking this decision, this conversation is meant to help you move forward without letting structure slow you down.

I walk through how to think about podcast seasons in a way that actually supports consistency, sustainability, and momentum — because at the end of the day, the best podcast structure is the one you can stick with. This episode isn’t about rules. It’s about choosing the approach that makes podcasting feel lighter instead of heavier.

I also share why I personally love seasons for most podcasters, especially when you’re just getting started. Seasons make it easier to focus your content, avoid burnout, and stop feeling like you need to come up with infinite episode ideas forever. When you think in seasons, you can narrow your focus, create with intention, and guide your listeners toward a specific result instead of talking about everything all at once.

In this episode, I talk about:

1. Whether you should structure your podcast with seasons or not
2. Why sustainability matters more than podcast format
3. How seasons can make content creation feel easier and more focused
4. When having no seasons might actually work better for you
5. How podcast seasons can support launches, offers, and marketing
6. Why seasons don’t have to be public or labeled to be effective

I also explain how seasons can work even if your podcast is still numbered continuously, and how you can quietly use seasons behind the scenes to plan smarter content. If the idea of committing to endless weekly episodes feels overwhelming, this episode will help you reframe podcasting in a way that feels doable and aligned with how you actually work.

At the end of the day, I vote for seasons — unless that structure becomes the thing that holds you back from starting. If seasons feel supportive, use them. If they feel restrictive, skip them and start talking. Forward momentum always wins.
