When Tanner Campbell, Edward Havens and other experienced podcasters tackle the question of when to give up and quit, they must confront the difficult decision of whether their goals will be achieved and if their passion is a worthy pursuit.
"The first thing you got to do to determine whether or not your podcast is a podcast that is time to quit is to look at the indicators that you create at the outset to determine whether you're making progress." - Tanner Campbell

Tanner Campbell and Edward Havens, two experienced podcasters, discussed on Podcasting Power Hour the question of when it is time to quit a podcast. They discussed the idea of setting KPIs to measure progress and that sometimes the best decision is to pivot to something else. They shared their own experience and advice of when they have quit their own podcasts or decided to change direction. Dave Jackson shared his experience of starting and stopping his podcast three times due to COVID and his journey to play in the local podcasting space. In the end, the conclusion is that it is up to the individual to decide when the time is right to quit a podcast, but it is important to be honest with yourself and have a conversation with someone else to make sure the decision is the right one.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How do you know when it's time to give up and quit on your podcast?
2. What are the key performance indicators to look for in order to determine if your podcast is making progress?
3. How do you balance two podcasts without taking away from either one of them?
