You may have heard that certain topics are "taboo" to share in your podcast, but are they really? Or is it okay to share your "controversial" perspectives?

I'm not going to tell you what you "should" do on this issue. Instead, I'll give you several things to consider so that you can make the decision you believe is right for your podcast.

During or after a tragedy, podcasting may be the last thing on your mind. Or maybe it's actually something you want or need to get back into, but you're not sure if it's appropriate.

Whatever the "tragedy" is to you, there is no single right answer to this. But I would like to share several points for you to consider so that you can make the decision that's right for you.
