What if the real driver of podcast growth isn’t how consistent you are or how well you market your show? There are 5 invisible mechanics every top podcast has in common, and the degree to which your show grows depends on how well these mechanics are working under the hood.

Alex Sanfilippo, the founder of PodMatch, has spent years studying what today's top podcasters do differently, and he's joining us back to break down the five non-negotiable mechanics that separate top shows from the rest, and how you can adopt them to support the podcast growth you want.
