Lessons From 500 Episodes & 5 Years of Podcasting
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
How do you keep a podcast going long enough to reach 500 episodes?
Most shows fade away after a handful of recordings, but The Photowalk has just passed a huge milestone. This week, I’m joined by its host, Neale James, to explore what it really takes to stay consistent, build a community, and even turn a passion project into something sustainable.
Read the full blog post on this too, here.
Neale shares:
- Why showing up every day matters more than waiting for inspiration
- How listener nicknames, mailbags and “the other listener” helped build a loyal community
- The role authenticity plays – including leaving in planes overhead and barking dogs
- Lessons carried over from his BBC radio career into podcasting
- How he’s pieced together monetisation with Patreon, sponsors, mentoring and photo tours
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your podcast alive and enjoyable well beyond launch, Neale’s story is packed with lessons you can take straight into your own show.
