When's the last time you actually asked for a podcast review? Not mentioning it once in passing, not hoping someone leaves one, but actually asking. Because here's what I see all the time: podcasters not asking, or asking once six months ago and never bringing it up again, or doing review parties where everybody leaves surface level reviews that don't actually help anyone.

If you're wondering why you only have a few reviews or why you haven't gotten one in a really long time, the answer is simpler than you think. In this episode, I'm breaking down what podcast reviews actually do (and don't do), why review parties don't work, and exactly how to get genuine reviews from real listeners.

Questions answered in this episode:

1. Do podcast reviews actually help you rank on the charts?
2. Why don't review parties and swaps work?
3. What's the best way to get genuine podcast reviews?
4. How do I ask for a review without it feeling awkward?
