Quitting podcast
Date: 10th March 2022
Should I quit the podcast?
Are you quitting because it’s not worth it or because it’s hard?
Well, I started it for the reason that it would improve my fluency and speaking skills in English but I just read out everything that’s on the screen while recording for the podcast. How will I improve this way?
But if I quit now, what will I say if someone asks me why? Why did I quit?
Did I begin too early? then how did I manage to make 7 episodes then?
Quitting because it’s not worth it?
I like writing and video formats more. With just my voice I’m not able to express myself nonverbally. I think non-verbal communication is something I’m good at. I can express things with just actions. I don’t need words too. But in the podcast, I can’t do that.
Partly the reason I wanna quit is that it’s tough but people won’t think this is my partly reason, they will think this is my only reason for quitting.
Nobody cares about your excuses.
I’m quitting because it’s not what I like to do. It’s not my thing. Podcasts can be easy or difficult but not liking them makes it difficult for me.
There are fewer people visiting my website than my podcast but I’m not quitting on my website because it’s gonna be of use in the future. I see value there but I don’t see it here on the podcast. The sad part is no one waits for my podcast episode every week but I’m sure if I stop posting, everyone will come asking why. Not everyone supports you but they’re watching you.
My speaking skills have improved since I started Growthtfully Yours but I don’t think it’s because of the podcast. It’s probably because I’ve started writing a lot. Everything requires writing. Quora, blog, podcast. Let’s assume podcast might have helped me improve in speaking but that can still happen when I start making Instagram reels. It’s not like I talk for 10 minutes straight while recording the podcast. I talk for 1 minute and pause and start again and merge all at the end.
I feel like the podcast is something I wanted to try and since it’s not working, I should quit. Because that’s why you try things right? You see if they’re good for you and if they’re not you have the option to quit.
