There was only one way to end Season 1...

It’s the season finale. Please hold your applause. Or don’t. We could use it. For the final episode of season one, we’ve raided the TLDL archives, brought back some familiar faces and even snuck in a couple of new ones. In this episode of Too Long Didn't Listen, we revisit some of the big questions from across the series. Saskhia Menendez explains why podcasting can still provide a space for honest, human conversations. Abi McNeil looks at why brands should think about podcasts as an extension of the communities they already have. Candace Wilson explains why every good podcast needs a clear north star. Then Doug Downs tackles one of the most common problems he sees with new podcasters: making the show they want to make without thinking enough about the journey their listener is actually on. And because it’s the finale, Josh gets one last recommendation in with Redemption Man, an audio documentary from Christopher Mitchell about the mysterious man who spent decades carrying a large white cross through West London before disappearing. That’s season one done. Will there be a season two? We haven’t actually decided yet. So if you’d like us back, let us know. If you think we should go away forever, you can technically let us know that too.
