What’s Behind the Fear of Launching Your Podcast?

Since you’ve been on your podcast journey, have you ever found yourself in the situation where you are on the home stretch, the recording has been done, and the final edits have been made, but you just can’t bring yourself to publish the episode? What emotion is behind that resistance? This is a place even podcast professionals find themselves in, and today, our community steps up to the plate to help with overcoming the fear of launching a podcast by sharing personal anecdotes dealing with performance anxiety, perfectionism, and how to move forward. Midway through the show, we discuss the latest podcast charts, changes to Facebook's live video archival policy, and considerations for how dynamic ads may appear on various platforms.
