I'm so happy to see that the "Actually Speaking" podcast has had an influx of new listeners lately. Welcome!
Whether you're new or a regular listener, you'll notice that the time between episodes has lengthened considerably. No, the podcast hasn't faded away. In fact, my level of podcasting has actually increased considerably... which is part of the problem.
As most of you know, I do another podcast called "Aaron's World" which is a science show for kids. I never intended to do a second podcast so the popularity of AW was unexpected and caught me off guard. Well, I have a limited amount of time each week I can dedicate to podcasting and Aaron's World easily takes 4x that amount. My 6yo and I LOVE doing the show... but it's time consuming.
Fortunately, Actually Speaking isn't a podcast that loses potency after episodes are released. The episodes hold up over time and are best viewed as a whole. I like to think of it more like an audiobook with new chapters released as they become available. And more chapters are mapped out.
So, thank you for your patience as Actually Speaking episodes have become less frequent. I need to ask for just a little more patience while I try to find a manageable balance between the two podcasts and explore my options.
Until then... stay subscribed and spread the word about existing content. Whether a year ago OR a year from now... communication skill training is just as applicable. And if you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to send them my way.
Mike
