Summary
This isn’t goodbye, but it is the end of a chapter. In this episode, I’m sharing why I’m pressing pause on new episodes (although there will be some surprise mid-week pop-ups) and taking a step back to rethink the podcast and what I want it to become. I’ll be revisiting and republishing past conversations while I figure out what comes next.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emmer Gunn Show. Thank you so much for being here. |
| 0:13.7 | It's always a pleasure, as you know, to spend this time with you. And that really is the subject of this episode. |
| 0:19.8 | I have been doing a lot of thinking |
| 0:22.6 | recently about the podcast, the podcast space. As you know if you're a long time listener, I have |
| 0:29.7 | been disgruntled and dismayed by the change in the landscape that hasn't been a change in my |
| 0:35.7 | favour. And I've been thinking about, you know, I went back to interviewing people and it was kind of |
| 0:43.1 | 50-50 success rate. |
| 0:47.1 | And so I was sort of looking at it objectively, trying to, trying to sort of rise above it |
| 0:53.1 | and look at the whole thing |
| 0:54.4 | objectively. And I thought, right, what can I do now moving forward? Should I just quit the podcast? |
| 1:01.4 | Should I just stop it now? It's been 10 years. It's a good run, had a good innings, all of that |
| 1:06.7 | kind of caper. Maybe I should just admit defeat because the show that I want to make, |

| 1:28.3 | I do have ideas about how to bring it back |
| 1:31.3 | and how to breathe new life into it, |
| 1:35.3 | how to still be a podcaster in a landscape |
| 1:40.3 | that's very different with lots of people creating |
| 1:43.3 | video content and all those sorts of things. |
| 1:45.5 | But in order to have the space to be able to really devote time and attention to that, |
| 1:53.2 | I think I need to take a break from creating the podcast. So, I mean, don't get me wrong, |
