Episode 483 - Limited Series, Mini-Podcasts and Breaks Are Not Examples of Podfade - Setting Expectations from the Start

Podfade is often misunderstood, and many scenarios do not fit its definition. Podfade specifically refers to a podcast that gradually or suddenly stops publishing new episodes without a planned conclusion or official announcement. Below is an expanded explanation of what podfade isn't, followed by suggested episode titles to explore these distinctions.

What Podfade Isn’t

Not a Limited Series or Planned Ending
Podfade does not include podcasts designed as limited series, such as a show with a set number of episodes (e.g., a 10-part educational series that wraps up as expected). These shows have a clear beginning, middle, and end—both the creator and the audience know from the start that the show will conclude after a certain point.
Not Taking a Break or Going on Hiatus
Structured breaks—whether announced seasonal breaks or recharges due to personal needs—aren't considered podfade. As long as the podcaster communicates their intention and returns as planned, it does not qualify as podfade.
Not a Pivot or Rebrand
If a show changes format, focus, or even takes a brief pause to relaunch in a new direction and communicates this with listeners, it is not podfade. Evolution of a podcast is part of creative growth if it’s done openly and intentionally.
Not “Podcast Failure” in General
Podfade isn’t a catch-all term for all types of podcast endings or unsuccessful shows. Many podcasts end intentionally, are retired with a farewell episode, or are simply meant to be short-term and finish as planned.
Not Simply Scaling Down Content
Reducing episode frequency (from weekly to monthly, for example), if communicated, is not podfade. Slowdowns that are part of a conscious change in production do not match podfade’s “disappearance without closure” hallmark
