    Podcasts have a lifetime where they stop being what they were when they got popular, and plateau into a "we're just coasting and doing whatever keeps the money flowing on" status. I've seen it happen a bunch of times. You have to catch them on the upslope, because when they get to the plateau, they relax and just crank out generic junk. It's sad, it happened to two of my favorite channels in the last 6 months.

      It happens to everything. Just look at The Simpsons.
