Have you ever found yourself in a position where you question whether you should publish an episode of your podcast because it doesn't meet your standards?
If you haven't yet, chances are it's something you'll encounter at some point in your podcasting plight.
In Part 5 of my "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" series, I'm diving deep into one of the most critical items you need to consider with your production: compromising your standards at the expense of your audience.
In podcasting, the unofficial golden rule is you always consider the listener's experience above all else. If you feature a guest who goes into business for themselves and does nothing but sell - to the point your listener may wonder if this content is for them - you may want to consider other options instead of exposing your listeners to something that will sour them on your show.
You want to ensure you bring value to your listeners at all times. And if that means 86'ing an episode because it doesn't meet your standards, so be it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
