Hi - I’m looking for some non-biased advice. I started a podcast about 8 yrs ago. I named it something unique; you couldn’t find it anywhere else. I have an email and every social media handle with its name. I have a very small (30-50 downloads a week) audience but they love it. It’s my baby.

I recently found out that a couple years after I started mine, someone else started a podcast and wrote a book with the same name of my podcast. They are very successful with a niche audience and huge following.

I’m so discouraged. If you search my pod name, I come up on page 3 of the search results. What would you do in this situation? I want to keep podcasting, and would love to be successful, but is it realistic to keep my name?
