Please Stand By: Regular Programming Will Resume Shortly

Season 5 Episode 5 Published 3 weeks ago
Description

Steve returns to the microphone to explain why his brief podcast rebrand has already been abandoned, why Television Times is back, and what he learned from watching listener numbers dwindle.

In this short bonus episode, he talks honestly about burnout, second-guessing three years of work, and the surprisingly emotional experience of trying to rename something that people already know and trust.

  • Why the rebrand to All My Clothes Need Burning lasted only a handful of episodes before being reversed
  • The listener reaction that convinced Steve he'd made a mistake — and the awkward task of re-editing episodes and contacting guests
  • What three years and 120+ episodes have taught him about podcasting, branding, and knowing when to stop fighting your audience

Plus, an adventure story from Thailand in 1999 featuring malaria tablets, questionable holiday hair braiding, and a brief encounter with the Thai police that could have gone very differently.

Normal service resumes shortly. Television Times is back, and Steve will now try to refrain from starting any more unnecessary rebrands.
