Ever open your podcast analytics and wonder why the downloads haven't moved, even though you're showing up every week?

I'm walking you through the five podcast growth strategy patterns I see blocking downloads again and again. These aren't effort problems. You're doing the work. But there are quiet patterns underneath that confuse your listeners and the algorithms.

Once you know what to look for, you'll spot them everywhere. And that's actually good news, because once you see it, you can fix it.
