Before you go ahead and continue to sift through your podcast episode to find the perfect clip to woo your audience, do yourself a favor and listen to this episode of Grow The Show.


What if we told you all those hours spent trying to perfect your intro were time spent working AGAINST your show? Unfortunately, this is most likely the case, unless you have a team of producers dedicated to ensuring there is a cliffhanger ready to be used.


For the majority of us, this isn’t the case, so we are sending out an official PSA to the podcasting community: kill the podcast intro clip once and for all!


There are strategies that can be used in place of intro clips and we want to share those with you in today’s episode!


Tune in to hear our host Kevin Chemidlin explain why he thinks intro clips should be a thing of the past, why the first three minutes of your episode are crucial to listener retention, and what you can do instead of intro clips that will effectively help you grow your show and retain your listeners.


You don’t want to miss this one!



Topics discussed in this episode:


  • Kevin’s experience using intro clips
