Description
Trent Anderson, Head of Podcast Publisher Partnerships at Podchaser, dives deep into the importance of using data for decision-making in podcasting. He explains Podchaser's four-step framework and how it helps find the right shows for their clients. There is often a misconception that guests should place their focus on interviewing on large shows but when examining the data, smaller shows can have a significant impact on results.
Instead, Trent emphasizes guests use an audience-first approach, considering the power of community and the role of data in making informed decisions.
