Episode 311 Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description

In podcasting, there’s a saying: “If you build it, nothing will happen.” Most hosts learn this the hard way, but the upside is that podcast growth problems usually aren’t random. They’re patterns.

Kevin Chemidlin (founder of Grow The Show) is breaking down the two biggest reasons podcasts fail to grow, why publishing more episodes doesn’t automatically create loyal listeners, and the subtle podcasting mistakes that make listeners stop listening. But when you understand what’s causing listeners to disengage, you can start creating the kind of podcast people remember, recommend, and keep coming back to.
