Is Podcasting Good for Your Mental Health?

If you’re an indie podcaster, when does something you love making start to feel like another job? In this mental health special in aid of CALM, Damien St John and Ant McGinley talk about the pressure to stay consistent, obsessing over podcast analytics, feeding the social media machine and knowing when it’s time to take a break. With insight from podcasting advocate and Hall of Famer Elsie Escobar, they explore what a healthier, more sustainable version of podcasting might actually look like, especially when you’re making your show alongside everything else in life.
