I wanted to alert everyone that you can sleep in on Saturday. I have to attend a funeral for a friend (who lost her Mom) and cant do the show.
Enjoy your holiday, and be sure to hug all your friends, family, or anyone who has meaning in your life. You just never know when someone you love will have their number called. In this case, it wasn't a surpise, but that the pain is still there.
This week we open with "What to do if you put out a survey and nobdy answers? We also talk about merch sales, some equipment updates, overthinking your podcast launch and more.

I read an article by Leslie Thompson titled, A reflection on 5 years of podcasting, and it really moved me. It points out that even if you end up ceasing to produce your podcast, the time is not waste. It may feel that way, but Leslie shares how her time on the Rogue Ones podcast was not a wate of time and she has used her skills in other projects including her now show Niche to Meet You.
