A logical reason why Apple and Spotify suppress a podcast's reach...

It has nothing to do with being controversial or explicit.

And everything to do with your listening time. 

This is also seen as your retention time. 

This is the main user engagement metric Apple and Spotify use to determine whether you have a good or bad show. 

Good show = high retention time.

Bad show = low retention time.

If listeners don’t listen through till the end of your podcast, it sends a bad signal to Apple and Spotify. 

Whose goal is to keep users on their platforms.

The goal for you is to increase your retention time, get recommended to more listeners, and increase the number of listeners coming back to your podcast for more.

And that’s why in this episode, you’ll discover:

• What user engagement is and why your podcast won't grow if yours is bad
• The 5 mistakes most podcasters make that repel listeners from listening to their entire podcast
• Simple tricks you can start implementing today to increase the listening time of your show
