In this final part of a four-part series, Ana and I have an in-depth discussion on how to keep a podcast active during a sabbatical, hiatus, or planned time off.  We discuss various strategies such as batching content, leveraging old content, creating simple, easy-to-handle content, and setting podcast goals for the off-time. We also touch on the importance of planning a comeback and being adaptable to changes.  The conversation is tied up with the emphasis on doing what works best for the you as a creator, staying authentic, and communicating with your audience.
