The term "podfading"
has been created to label what is sometimes a rapid and unexplained drop-off in someone producing their podcasts. As

the process or creation to time and labor intensive. In fact according to one expert about a fifth of podcasts don't

creating podcasts that are taking up the higher rankings and smaller producers don't feel they're able to get the
exposure, especially on Apple's iTunes service.Podcast burnout
