Depression can come from having a problem and not knowing how to solve it or even not knowing what the problem is but feeling it's presence.

People paying to make podcasts
I'm very sympathetic to clients, this whole area is so subjective and most things people make aren't going to be a hit (how many books, movies, inventions, and software etc never worked/never heard of...).
I see podcasts as a 'credibility indicator'; a voice in the space or a shorthand sign of authority which are some stepping stones to trust. So the content doesn't have to wow, it just has to exist.

AI isn't going to solve all your problems
AI is great at helping you walk the paths others have walked that you yourself have less frequented.
AI is bad for leading the way forging a new path.
If you're doing new things, you still have to do the thinking work. You might get lucky if the AI can do some of the doing.
When to give up on a project
Fixing bad work rarely transforms it into good work.
Having good work and trying to "fix" something rarely makes it better.
That's through my life experiences working in the creative field.
