What makes a podcaster rethink everything instead of walking away? Today, we sit down with co-host Sid Meadows, creator of The Trend Report, to unpack why he nearly ended his podcast and what led him to rebuild it instead. Sid opens up about the burnout that caused him to podfade, the breakthrough moment that brought him back, and the intentional steps behind his relaunch: listener interviews, new sponsorship plans, and a renewed sense of purpose. We also explore how to balance instinct with audience feedback and why clarity in branding and naming matters. To close out the show, we share some of our personal wins from the week and offer a reminder that any podcast can be reimagined with the right mindset and a willingness to reinvent.
