5 Boring Ways To Keep Your Podcast Fresh [S3E103]


Listen Later

There was a time when all a podcaster had to do was launched, publish, and a podcast would find its own audience. 

But today there are millions of podcasts and some invest jaw-dropping sums of money to get all the discovery attention. To rise above the din, you need to do the boring things. Here are five:

1. Better In-App Episode Details (Show Notes) - This remains one of the biggest areas of neglect in podcasting. Which means if you do it right, you can get a quick win.

2. Find Time To Experiment With New Podcasting Services - Tech moves pretty fast in podcasting. Find the time to do boring research and see what tools you should adopt to improve your show.

3. Clean Up Your Podcast Website’s Copy - Your website will be visited by people new to your show, either recent followers, searchers, or those doing their due diligence before following your show. 

4. Review Your Podcast’s Competition - With millions of podcasts, you need to keep your eyes ears what other shows listeners are listening to. Even beyond your podcast's genre or category. 

5. Continuing Your Podcaster Education - Subscribe to podcast newsletters. Take podcasting workshops. Attend conferences, either in-person or online. I have to constantly work at keeping them current, and you probably need to do that as well.

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:
1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.
We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
