What to Do With Your Podcast During the Holidays: Batch Recording, Breaks, and Best Of Episodes!

The holiday season (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.) is here, and many podcasters are wondering: **Should I continue producing new episodes?**

The short answer is **YES!** Consistency is key because people build your podcast into their daily lives and schedules, often listening on their commute or during scheduled free time. Listeners come to expect your content.

If you're worried about your busy schedule, don't worry—we’re sharing the top three strategies to maintain your consistency

This episode tackles a crucial topic: **how to eliminate filler words**. Filler words (like "um," "ah," and "like") are crutches that make you sound unprofessional.

I offer three essential strategies:

1. **Become aware** of your specific crutch word by listening back to recordings or using a sticky note near your mic.
2. **Practice pausing:** Replace fillers with intentional silence. Pauses feel longer to you than the audience, but they are effective.
3. **Slow down:** Rushing often triggers filler words because your brain doesn't have time to keep up.

I also recommend preparing key points and structuring thoughts using the **Power of Three**. Get feedback from trusted colleagues during practice.
