Hullo there!

It's tempting to take a break from podcasting over the holidays, not because you necessarily want to, but because you think your audience will do the same. However, data from the latest Podcast Marketing Trends Report suggests that isn't true, and December is actually one of the top months for combined podcast downloads.

That doesn't mean you can't take a well-earned rest, though. Something as simple as an episode swap with another podcaster in your niche can keep your feed rolling when others around you are off until January.

Crucially, it brings value to your audience when many of them need it most, and you'll be getting your own content in front of someone else's audience, too.

And, this is just one tactic. You'll find more in Katie's article, as well as our most recent episode of Podcraft.

Enjoy :-)
