449. Stop Letting Trolls Kill Your Podcast Momentum

from Podcasting Morning Chat | Real Podcasters, Real Podcasting Advice · host Marc Ronick | Podcasting Coach and Consultant

What do you do when hateful comments land harder than you expect? Today, we’re cracking into the mailbag and starting with a candid conversation about dealing with trolls and the inner critic that can flare up when your work is put out in public. That’s just one of the listener questions we tackle. We also continue the ongoing audio vs. video discussion, exploring why this question keeps coming up and what podcasters should consider before changing their format or adding more to their workflow. To wrap up a valuable week of conversations, we share a round of wins from our community and take a moment to celebrate progress, growth, and showing up.
