The Buzzsprout team shares 10 essential podcasting tips gleaned from their collective 40+ years of experience behind the microphone. Drawing from personal insights, listener contributions, and industry observations, they reveal what truly matters for podcast sustainability and growth.

Your Podcasting Tips

  1. Focus on listener experience, not download statistics, as quality content precedes numeric growth
  2. Create podcasts that a hundred people will love rather than something thousands merely like
  3. Pick a publishing cadence you can consistently maintain, starting conservatively and scaling up
  4. Produce shorter, tightly-edited episodes that respect listeners' limited attention spans
  5. Expect slow, non-linear growth with small "viral" moments rather than explosive popularity
  6. Use podcasting as a networking tool to connect with people otherwise difficult to reach
  7. When recording, restart entire sentences if you make a mistake to create clean edit points
  8. Choose co-hosts who share your commitment level and enthusiasm for the project
  9. Be selective about guests and don't feel obligated to publish every interview you record
  10. Design your podcasting workflow to maximize enjoyment and sustainability

For our next full episode, text us your tips for finding, vetting, and working with podcast guests. We'll be sharing your insights on what makes someone a great guest and how to create memorable interview experiences.
