Have you ever worried you'll run out of podcast episode ideas for your show?  It's a fear almost every podcaster has, but we have tips to keep you going for hundreds of episodes!

Jordan and Alban welcome Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting to talk about how to keep your podcast ideas flowing year after year. You’ll learn:

• How to keep an ongoing bank of content ideas so you’re never stuck on recording day
• Why passion matters more than download numbers for long-term success
• The importance of hanging out where your audience is to find episode ideas
• Strategies for mixing up formats to keep things interesting (solo, interviews, Q&A, etc.)
• The difference between running out of ideas vs. running out of passion
• How audience engagement can fuel entire episodes
• Real-life examples of Dave’s own podfades, rebrands, and creative pivots

Plus: A quick detour into Taylor Swift’s surprise podcast appearance, what music shaped the hosts’ teen years, and why some fan encounters get awkward.
